KING LUCAS

CHAPTER 1

Lucas Friar was King, everything he said was law and everything he wanted, he could take. It didn't matter the price or the time it took him to get it, it would be his. He was always a very sneaky kid, exchanging lunches so he could have his favorite sandwich in middle school, getting out of detention, having an extra scoop of ice cream free, the things he could accomplish became bigger as he grew up, as he grew greedier. He didn't understand why everyone was so easy to manipulate, it wasn't until his freshman year when he discovered he knew exactly what to say by watching people. Lucas was so very extremely good at reading people, he paid attention to the little details and it showed him what the other person needed to hear.

That's how his kingdom grew, by junior year he had everyone at his mercy and they didn't even know. He was very smart, but people did his homework, he had enough money and yet people brought him lunch, he had a line of girls after him (but that was just because of his looks, which made it easy for him to get into their heads).

Suddenly, one day, he started to feel a little numb, like everything had turned grey. Talking his way out of trouble didn't feel the same, he was bored and there was no challenge in anything any more.

"Lucas, are you listening to me? Lucas!" A girl's rant brought him back from his thoughts.

"Hmm?"

"Oh my God! You always do this! You don't pay enough attention to me! You were looking at her weren't you? Am I not good enough?" She was rambling on, he couldn't stand it anymore, she had chosen a bad day to get under his skin.

"Stop!" He said very clearly and she immediately closed her mouth. "Shay, I don't want to see you anymore." He remained nonchalant.

"What are you talking about? Are you breaking up with me?" She stepped in front of him.

"To be honest, there shouldn't be anything to break, I never wanted a relationship with you." He stared right into her eyes and saw something new that caught his attention. Behind the tears that were streaming down her cheeks, he could see a light disappear in them. He was curious and wondered how he hadn't noticed that gleam before, maybe it was recent, maybe he wasn't looking closely before. But now he had two red eyes staring back at him without that gleam. He realized that he had taken it away, it wasn't something you could touch, it wasn't something that he could just buy in a store, this was personal and for him to own that power, it felt exhilarating.

He wanted to see that light fade away again and so a new game began for him. He was careful on who he picked, he started on the ones that were openly after him, that gleam was there from day one and he took it away like a thief in the night, fast, swift, undetectable. Once that was too easy he moved on to the more challenging girls, the shy ones or the girls that openly talked trash about him. It was a fun and cruel game, but he was empty and had no care for who he hurt.

It was a long game, it was a delicate thing playing with someone's heart. Every girl was different and that was the thrill of it, finding that thing that could break them, but Lucas Friar was king and everything he wanted he could take.

Lisa Romanini, 1 month and 4 days it had taken him to make that gleam shine when she saw him. Her last girl, at least in Texas.

"What? You're leaving?" She asked with a trembling voice.

"I'm moving to New York." It had also been a surprise for him when his mom dropped the big news, but he had no say in it and honestly he didn't care.

"What about us?" She said on the edge of tears.

"What did you think was going to happen?" He was relentless.

"I don't know... I... I thought..." She started to cry "I thought that what we had was special." She managed to say. He gently put his hand on her cheek, wiping the tears away.

"I think..." He started with a soft and soothing voice, taking his hand away. "That we had different ideas of what this relationship was."

Lisa Romanini, 1 month 2 weeks and 1 day and her gleam was gone. He felt alive. He turned around and left with her heart on his hand, a smile on his face.

"Please Lucas! Don't leave!" She begged, but he kept walking away. His kingdom in Austin had ended.

It was Tuesday, Lucas was late for his first class, but he wasn't worried. He parked his truck on his new spot, a smirk in his face when he saw the empty parking space, even though he didn't expect it to be any different. He had won his spot to another senior on a poker game at some 'start of the year party', but poker was all about reading your opponent and Lucas had no trouble doing just that.

He walked in with a sense of belonging and went straight into the principal's office.

"Lucas! It's so good to see you here! Do you have a pass?" A nice lady greeted him from her desk, she was chewing gum and signing some papers he had no care for. He had met her the week before when his mother had dragged him down to introduce him to the principal, he didn't want to be there but at least he knew his relationship with the receptionist would bring something useful. He saw the pack of nicotine gum carefully sitting by her desktop.

"Doris, you don't know the morning I had! I just got here..." He said, dropping his body on a chair and sighing loudly.

"Oh no, what happened?" She asked, he couldn't contain the smile watching her fly into his trap.

"My mother had a late surgery last night, 40 year old man with lung cancer... Terrible thing, after six hours he didn't make it. She called me at 1a.m. to pick her up and I just slept through my alarm." He looked up at her, she had stopped chewing her gum and her eyes were glued on the young boy. "Momma said he was a smoker his whole life, what a bad habit don't you think?"

She stayed silent for a second and so did he. He watched expectantly at her, like a test subject.

"It's a terrible thing, yes..." She popped another gum in her mouth and he knew he had her.

"Well I'm off to class, don't want to ruin my assistance record on the first week." He headed to the door and took the handle before turning around and hitting his head with his palm. "I almost forgot..." He came back to her desk as he took an apple out of his backpack "this is for you, from our tree back in Texas, you know what they say... An apple a day keeps the doctor away." He finished smiling.

"Aw thank you Lucas, you are so sweet." He was starting to get a little annoyed by her not understanding what he wanted, did he had to spell it out for her.

"It's my pleasure, by the way you smell fantastic today, is it peaches?"

"It is! What an incredible nose you have there!" She giggled accommodating her hair. He casually checked the watch on his wrist, this made her check on hers. "Oh no, look at the time! You are so late! Here, let me sign you a note for your teacher."

"Doris you are sweet as apple pie." He said with a smug face as she filled the little pink paper, a face that disappeared when she lifted her eyes and gave him the note. "Thank you Doris, you are an angel! I'll tell my mom you said hello. See ya!" He walked out of the office and headed to his spanish class.

"Sr. Friar que gusto que nos acompañe!" Was how his teacher, Sra. Ramírez, welcomed him.

"Hola señora! Tenga roja papel para usted!" He dropped the pink note on her desk and went for his usual spot in the back. The teacher read the small paper and put it on the drawer. It wasn't his fault that spanish was on his first period, he would've pretended to care a bit more if it wasn't that early.

Even though school was just starting, everything looked promising for Lucas, nobody in this building knew it, but he was slowly becoming the king of this new land.

At lunch time, he walked out of class to a busy hallway. He received a couple nods from some other seniors that were on the baseball team, he would talk his way into the team and he would become captain in no time. Every person stared at the new guy, freshmen wanted to be him and girls wanted to be on him, even some guys wished they could be in him. On his way to the cafeteria he saw in front of him a pretty brunette, he recognized her immediately as the girl that had fallen on his lap in the subway. She was something unique, her eyes sparkled the second he said hi. She was like an open book for him to read. He smiled at her and she awkwardly smiled at the floor avoiding his eyes and blushed, she pulled the arm of the girl next to her. He smiled at himself because of the quirky girl.

The other one was a beautiful blonde, with an intimidating look in her eyes probably to compensate for her stature, she walked like she had no care for the world. They made eye contact, but before he could react and give her a seductive smile, she turned her look away as they passed next to him. Lucas stopped right there, he was fascinated by that blonde's look. Her eyes were like clear ocean water, but they had no emotion on them, he had never seen something like that before. Who was this girl? What was behind those eyes and what were they hiding?
