In the Middle
Chapter 1 - "That Girl"
What was it? I could hear something in the distance; something familiar. It was a voice, definitely a voice. "Lorelei, hey Lorelei," called the voice, which sounded female. I raised my head from my arms slowly and turned towards the sound. I saw my friend Selene staring at me. "Hello," she said, "I said have you seen the new girl?" I blinked my eyes and focused on her. "No why?" I answered. "Just look." I directed my vision towards the doorway she was facing and there I saw the most beautiful human being I'd ever seen in my life.
The girl stood there was about 5 foot 6 and absolutely gorgeous. She had long, choppy brown hair with reddish shades running through, a long side fringe and a cute oval-shaped face. In one ear she had a square stud, but in the other a shiny red tunnel that looked to be about 8mm wide. Her eyes were deep green, rimmed by thick black eyeliner and dark purple eye shadow. She had a cute button nose, with a small stud in the right side. Her bottom lip was soft and full with two round silver studs nestled below it, whilst her top lip was not as full, but it was perfectly defined with a flawless cupid's bow. She was wearing a deep reddish purple lipstick and a shiny clear lip gloss over the top. She was impossibly beautiful, so much so that it took all of my will power not to walk over there and kiss her in front of the whole dinner hall. At least then I would find out whether or not her lip gloss was flavoured. I was hoping for strawberry.
"Selene" I asked. "Yeah Lor..." she answered. "Who...where...I mean wow, just wow." I noticed that Selene was looking at me weirdly so asked her "what?" She looked at me skeptically and said, "Lorelei, you do realise that your gob is hanging open like your trying to catch flies, dont you?" "Errrrm...is it? Sorry." As I was staring at the girl, she turned slightly, saw me gawking at her and gave me a cute smile where one side of her mouth lifted higher than the other. Instantly I felt a flutter in my stomach and felt myself grin back. I saw her raise her perfectly shaped eyebrows at me and was just about get up and introduce myself, when our head of year walked over to her and stared talking to her, I assumed about her timetable as she was holding a peice of paper and pointing toward the maths rooms. "Hey Selene" I asked. "Yes Lor" she replied, half heartedly. "I think I may be in love" I told her. "What...with who?"
"That Girl."
