Risa's POV-

We were all gathered in the big auditorium. All the students in our class were present here including the other two sections. The teacher took our roll calls and all the students were present except Mirik. Even the guy who never showed up in the class also came.

"Now that everybody is present here we will start our training today onwards." the teacher announced.

"For today we will be practicing among our section only. So without wasting further time grab a sparring partner and get started." the teacher said.

Everyone started to look for partners. Bala was practicing with Kiara and Rabon with Givi. All the other students had also found a partner. Everyone refused to partner with me because they were afraid that they might hurt me. I was a bit disappointed but I had no one to spar with, so I started practicing on my own.

"Hey, will you spar with me?" the new boy asked me.

"Are you sure?" I asked with excitement. He nodded and took a stance.

He had long silver hair with the same silver eyes. He had a good build and had some muscles on top of it. His long hair fluttered in the air which made him look like a prince from somewhere. He took out a wooden dagger and pointed it toward me. I also took out my wooden short sword and stood in front of him.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

I attacked him in an instant and he dodged while throwing his dagger toward me like a throwing knife. I blocked it with the body of the sword deflecting it upwards. But he did not stop his attack and swept my leg making me fall. I tried to get back up but was stopped by him as he mounted me. I tried attacking him with my sword but was stooped by him as he grabbed my wrist and made me lose grip on the sword.

Then by pure luck or due to his calculation the deflected dagger came down and was grabbed by the boy. He put it on my neck.

"Do you concede...Risa?" he said while smiling. I was shocked how he knew my name but considering we were classmates it was normal. But what he did after this cemented my suspicion.

"Don't worry. I have not forgotten you. I will always be waiting for you." he said as he took out a white rose from his pocket and handing me.

White rose....waiting.....I have heard this somewhere. Don't tell me he knows about my past.

"Hey wait. Who are you? And what are you talking about?" I asked him.

"Me? I am Arsh Reega. And don't act dumb. Do you think that I could not see through your disguise? I can forget myself but not my love." he said with a loving smile.

Before I could reply someone came in between us.

"Why the hell are you back here?" Givi said to Arsh.

"Let's go, Risa, this guy is not worth it," Givi said while pulling me away.

I looked back at the silver-haired boy, standing there still looking at me.
