Melting The Ice Queen ❄

II

Wesley's POV

"It's rude to stare, look away" she said coldly. I immediately looked away stupid Wes why were you staring I faced palmed mentally. "Sorry for staring, so are you my desk partner ?" I asked waiting for her to answer but only got silence. Looks like that was enough socializing for her today.

Students started filling inside. I saw my best friend Ashton entering and waved him to take the seat behind me. He wasn't present yesterday so he doesn't know his assigned seat.
"Ayo Wes you came early today" Ash said taking the seat behind me.
"Yeah I had to drop the twins at the kindergarten."
"Oh I would love to meet them again, I think they understand me better than you."  he said.
I rolled my eyes.

"Oh Ash you are so funny" we heard someone saying. I turned around to see Claire the student council president giggling. "Who gave you the permission to eavesdrop on our conversation Ms president ?" Ash taunted her.

Claire stopped laughing and went away mumbling to herself. "That chick is a pain in ass why doesn't she get the message that I don't like her." Ash grumbled.

Ashton is a ladies man. Altough he is not a typical player but he had some flings here and there. With his blonde hair and excellent green eyes and his smooth talk all the girls fall for his charm. He looks like he should be a model.
Our dear Ms president had her eyes on him since the freshman year but Ash keeps rejecting her.
"Why do you keep rejecting her although a little clingly she is a good girl and way better than your past girlfriends" I asked him. It's true Ash's previous girlfriends were very dangerous they would bully the girls who would come to him. Girls are very complicated, even maths is easy than understanding them. 

"You are the one to talk. Many girls propose to you too why don't you accept it seems like you have promised to never touch a girl you avoid them as they are pandemic" Ash pointed out.
"You know I had a girlfriend two years ago..." "I know Jane or Joanne someting."
"Yeah Joanne and my experience with her was not good at all, even the twins disliked her. So I think I am better off without a girlfriend."
"All girls are not like her you know, with your prince like looks and gentleman attitude you could get tons of good girls" Ash said.
"You talk as those girls are some products to use. You are very disrespectful and you really think I look like prince."
"That's the only thing you got from my speech huh ?" Ash grumbled and we laughed together.
"By the way why hasn't the teacher came to the class yet it's already 15 minutes since the class started" I asked. Just then we saw a substitute teacher entering the class.
"Hello students, your chemistry teacher had some emergency so she had to go home. She gave me these excercise papers so please finish this and then you are free to go."

After half and hour everyone finished the test. "Hey we haven't been assigned our new lockers right?" Ash asked. "No it will be given after lunch probably."
Suddenly Ash stopped "Woah your deskmate is the ice witch!!!" the fool exclaimed loudly. "Low down your voice or she would hear you" I told him but it seems like she heard us because she turned in her seat and faced us. "It's not ice witch it's ice queen" she said in her usual monotone voice and walked away.

We stood their shocked "was she being sarcastic or joking..." Ash asked. "How would i know that idiot and why did you spoke so loudly" I smacked the back of his head. "Ow, get off and that ice witch or ice queen whatever, she is hella scary. I am gonna go to my next class bye."

I had a free period so I went to the library to complete my assignment. The library was almost empty when I went there but I can see Isla working on a computer. Isla Denver or most popularly called ice queen of our school. Isla denver joined this school in sophomore year I had heard that she was homeschooled until then. She is the only daughter of the rich businees tycoon Alec Denver. Yeah in other words she is loaded. Since joining the school I have never seen her making friends, girls tried to join her in their groups but when she denied they started bad mouyhing her and spread the rumour that she is too rich and proud to make friends with common people. How I know this because I am a great observer.

Isla always keeps a blank face and had never shown much emotions, when someone irritates her she just stares at them which is enough to scare them away. Even boys are afraid of hitting on her. But she is really smart in academics as well as in curricular activites and I haven't seen her sports yet but seeing her physique she must have been working out too. I had heard that whenever she talks she gives straightforward answer. Our school president always tries to enroll her name in homecoming and prom queen because I bet she can win them easily but she refuses to join and don't even come to those parties.
Beautiful she is indeed beautiful with her waist length platinum blonde hair which is always tied up in aneat ponytail and her unique grey almost silver eyes which are hella intimidating. Ugh I sound like a hero from a sappy romance story. I should stop thinking about her.

"You are staring again Collins." her voice brought me back from my internal conversation. I realized I was subconciously staring at her again. "Sorry I didn't realized that I was staring" I apologised but she just ignored me. Sighing I sat down and started doing my assignment.

After lunch I went to my newly assigned locker 46. Thank God this time the locker is good seems like the school has renovated the lockers. As I closed the locker I saw Isla opening the locker beside mine. "Woah looks like we are locker buddies too" I said before I could think. She just stared at me and went away. Ugh talking to her is more frustating than cooking.

After the school  ended I immediately went home as it was too tiring today. It's only second day of the school and the teachers have already loaded us with tons of homework. "Hey mom I am home" I shouted as soon as I entered inside.
"Mom is not home yet, her boss took her to a client meeting" Wania said as she came out.
"When will she come back ?"
"I don't know she just said that she would be late."
"Oh, by the way it's very outside can you make me some juice and before you say something please I am dead tired today."
"Fine I was not going to deny though."
"Yeah right...by the way where are the twins." I asked looking around for them.
"Oh they are already asleep I just came back from their room."
"Hey Wania I want to ask you something."
"About what ?"
" Why are some people cold you know not literally cold, people who have walls surrounded them as high as the the great wall of China."
"Well there must be two reasons.  Firstly they are cold because they are like that from the start. I mean a children is affected by their surrounding, if a child's parents are cold and never show warmth and love to anyone not even their own child, then that child percieves that and also behaves like his/her parents when they grow up. That's why however busy I and Caleb are we both take out time for our children and spend time with them."
"Secondly it may be because that a person wants to guard themselves from being hurt."
"Huh what does that mean ?" I asked further.
" When a person has been hurt emotionally they close themselves from the outside world, they show indifference to the world so that people won't hurt them again. Their trauma doesn't allow them to trust people easily. In other words they are protecting themselves."

"Woah you should have been a councellor you would do a great job. How do you know these things ?"

"I am speaking from my experience and also my friend who is a councellor she sometimes discusses her patients stories with me and also unlike you read books."
"Ah sis you shouldn't have said the last sentence" I groaned.
"Here is your juice. By the way why are you suddenly asking me about this stuff ?" Wania asked curiously.

"Thanks for the juice. I was asking because there is a girl in our class..." "Is she beautiful ?" Wania asked excited.
"Let me complete first. So there is a girl her name is Isla. She is very cold and I have never seen her talk to someone since she joined the school. Whenever someone talks to her she gives them two or three syllable answers. She is nicknamed as the Ice queen of our school. She is literally like a stone you know, she doesn't show any emotions. Anyone would mistake her as a statue that belongs to some museum. I tried talking to her but it's very frustating."

"Why did you wanted to talk to her, do you have a crush on her ?" Wania asked teasingly
I choked on my juice."No I don't have any crush on her I am just intrigued by her."

"Yeah that's the same thing as having a crush" Wania said.
"It's not."

"It is."

"Not."

"It is" Wania sang like a child.

"Shut up" I shouted.
Just then we heard the cries of the twins. "You woke them up" we both pointed at each other.
