Obsessed With The Rugby Player.

Chapter one.

Beginning

She woke up feeling reluctant about going to school. Her mind drifted to memories of freshman year, which sucked for a number of reasons.

She had prayed to Lord Ganesha Chaturthi for her request for the beginning of the school year. Which was to be invited to a party with alcohol and hard drug and have the opportunity to turn it down. "No, cocaine for me, thanks. I'm good"

And lastly, most importantly. She would really like a boyfriend but not some nerd from one of AP classes. Like a guy from a sport team.

Her parents had kept the tradition despite moving to America and having stayed for over a decade.

She was the opposite of Mr and Mrs. Leo and Anaya Kapoor. They were completely vegetarian while Lydia eats meat.

Mrs. Anaya Kapoor walked into her daughter's room.

“I don't have much time Lydia, you should be set for school by now”. She said,

“I am almost ready mom”. Lydia voiced out.

"I have just fifteen minutes to spare”. Her mom murmured before storming out of the room.

She took a quick shower and dressed up. She wore a short pastel-blue skater dress with white sneakers and a small black backpack. Her hair was done in a pony tail with ribbons, giving her a simple but fresh look for the first day of sophomore year.

She could hear her parents arguing in their room, though the voices were faint.

“It's been six months already, are you even thinking of how I pay the bills”. She remarked.

“Everything will be fine once I get this job, I am hopeful this time”. He replied.

“That's what you say every freaking time”. She said her footsteps echoed as she opened the door and stepped out.

Lydia wasn’t surprised by the usual nagging this morning. It was becoming normal since her dad lost his job at the bank.

With his multiple failed interviews, Mr. Leo Kapoor has not given up yet on his job search. This morning, he was in a hurry for another job interview.

He has also been forced to park his car for repairs because he couldn't afford to fix it yet, so Lydia was stuck with her mom.

He stepped out, arranging his CV properly when she met him.

“Good morning Dad”. She greeted him.

“Good morning Angel, your mom is already pissed off. You should be out already”. He said.

“I am almost done”. Lydia said as she picked up her books and stuck them in her bag.

She hurried down the door. But turned her back to whisper. “Good luck Dad”.

Mr. Leo Kapoor smiled deeply, pleased. “Thank you Angel”.

Lydia paused when she saw her mom’s car waiting in the driveway.

“This is the last time I will have to stress the need for you waking up
