Just a short Lucaya one shot for my favorite author, tiramisuspice. She is literally the only one who talks to me in the fanfiction community. First attempt at writing a fanfic, please be nice :)
The first time you met her, you immediately knew she was trouble. With the hooded eyes, hidden smile and snarky remarks, she was obviously not the type of person you would hang out with.
The second time you see her, you were at your new school, and she was sitting upfront – which surprised you because you thought girls like her sat at the very back – beside her best friend, the girl with the cute smile and optimistic view on life. As soon as you became friends with them, you realize that there was more to her than you thought. Because behind the smirk and silly nicknames, is a broken girl with a negative view on love and life.
The first time you saw her cry was when her mother forgot her birthday. You saw her crying in the janitor's closet. You comforted her, like any other decent human being would. But the way she avoids you the next day makes you think otherwise.
A few weeks before the Middle School Acquaintance Party, you ask her best friend out. And there was something about her stiff smile and sad gaze that makes you regret asking the girl with pretty eyes and sweet smile instead of the girl with the fierce look and devilish grin. Especially when you find out that she was going with your date's uncle.
But when you see her in another boy's arms that night, the tug in your gut makes you realize that you've asked the wrong girl out. That you danced with the wrong girl. That you kissed the wrong girl. Because the girl you were supposed to be with right now isn't the cute, clumsy daughter of your history teacher. It was supposed to be the vivacious, demonic, girl with half a mom and unique view on life.
But it's too late now.
