Setting The Stage – Part One
Marcus Edwards casually leaned his hips against the hood of the new Infiniti SUV his father had given him for his birthday. He crossed his arms and surveyed the crowded school parking lot. He sighed in satisfaction. It was good to be in his senior year of high school, good to be popular and smart, with nothing short of greatness in you future. Marcus Edwards was living the life. He grinned at a couple of girls walking past him, they giggled and blushed. His grin switched to a smirk as they ran off. Yep. It was good to be him. Lost in his thoughts, if you consider self-praise to be anything like thoughts, he did not see the red Audi Convertible heading for the spot next to him. He jumped in surprise as it screeched to a halt beside him. He smiled and shook his head when his best friend Luke Andrews jumped out of the car. Luke's sister Caroline was reapplying her lip-gloss in the passenger seat.
"Hey Budd-y!" Luke yelled, a little bit too enthusiastically. His red hair was sticking up all over the place, his handsome face was pulled into a goofy grin and his baby blue eyes twinkled. Luke was the soul of all things affable and charming. Girls fell all over that goofy grin.
"Lucas. Some one should tell your sister that all the make-up in the world, isn't going to help her ugly mug." Said Marcus with a grin.
"Shut up Marc." She scowled at him, while flipping her peroxide blond, chemically straightened hair. She turned to find her gaggle of followers. She scowled on the outside but on the inside she was thrilled. After watching too many Dawson's Creek re-runs and reading far too many teen romance novels, she had come to the rather warped conclusion, that Marcus was secretly in love with her, and was demonstrating this by acting like he hated her. Not surprisingly, this twisted logic was far, far, far, from the truth. Marcus could not stand Caroline. Neither could her brother Luke. She was mean, obnoxious and so fake she was beginning to look plastic. Not that, she wasn't gorgeous; Caroline Andrews was stunning. But she was stunning in very un-natural way. Her body had the slightly emaciated look that came from not eating and strenuous exercise. Her face was sunken in and skillfully loaded with make-up. Caroline loved how the skinniness of her face made her look, like a model with high cheekbones. But you know the saying, if your ugly on the inside, its bound to come our? Caroline proved it true. Because as impeccable her appearance was, there was something not quite right. A glint in her eye that told the viewer, that she was not sincere. But Luke and Marc put up with her, Luke because she was family, and Marcus because she was Luke's family.
Soon Caroline's posse of "popular" girls joined them by the two cars. They all swooned slightly when they saw Marcus. Marcus had a completely different attraction from Luke. Luke was good looking, charming, and safe. Marcus was good looking and charming as well, but he was far from safe. He looked dangerous. He oozed sexuality from every pore on his body. His hair was a deep chestnut brown, cut in a very light fo-hawk and his eyes were a deep sea green. Girls fancied that they could drown in those eyes. And his smile. Oh Lord his smile. It wasn't really a smile, more of a smirk. He used his trademark smirk on Caroline's group.
"Hey guys. What's new?" he asked them all. They twittered giddily as Luke and Marcus focused their attention on them. Jessica Lemack, Caroline's best friend and leader in her absence, took a step closer to the boys.
"Well, not much really, except that four new girls will be enrolling here today. I heard Mrs. Parks talking about it with Dean Cowl. Mrs. Park kept calling them the Lawrence girls. Apparently their family is really old money, but their parents are major hippies who, like, have never owned a house, they just like travel all around the world with all four kids. But like their grandparents finally had enough and like begged the parents to settle somewhere and enroll the girls in, like, a proper school." She took a deep breath after she finished.
" Cool fresh blood!" Leered a boy named Ralph jokingly. He had walked up mid story and was a good friend of Marcus and Luke. As the girls scoffed and the boys laughed, a bright blue Smart Car drove into the parking lot and parked a row behind the group. The Lawrence girls had arrived.
"Look that must be them!" cried an interested Luke. The group turned towards the strange car and watched excitedly as it's occupants emerged.
Soon all four girls stood outside the car. They each ranged in height and body types, but each was as beautiful as the last.
"Wowza!" Ralph whispered loudly. Marcus chuckled. He couldn't agree more.
