Chapter 2: Unexpected Visit
The horn beeped loudly as I felt myself being pulled backwards. I stumbled and nearly fell backwards but I felt a sturdy hand holding me up by my elbow. I turned around blankly, confused by what had just happened. Where did that truck come from? I looked up at the person who so kindly, saved my life.
There he stood, looking so perfectly. A face so brilliantly handsome, a face I could've only seen in my dreams. He was tall, thin but yet very muscular. He had a light of flush of red that was barely noticable against his light brown skin. He was wearing dark, denim jeans with a white v-neck. Covered by a simple black, leather jacket. He chuckled, and ran his right hand through his short light brown hair. I was speechless, I couldn't move. I couldn't find what to say to this beautiful creature that by chance, just happened to save my life. Some how I was able to get back firmly on my feet, fixing my bag on my shoulder. He looked down as if he was nervous of what I may say. I opened my mouth to speak,
" Thank you." Was all I managed to say, he looked up and looked back down just as quickly. With a guilty look on his face that I couldn't explain.
" It was nothing really." He spoke through his teeth. He had a rather deep voice. I smiled at him, and he returned it.
" Are you sure your okay?" He asked again. But again I rendered myself speechless.
I simply nodded in response.
" Here let me help you." He picked up my sweater that had fallen on the floor without me noticing.
He reached down to pick it up and gave it back to me.
I scrambled to squish it back into my brown shoulder bag I used as a backpack.
" I have to go catch my bus or I'll be late." I began to walk away but stopped as he grabbed me gently by the arm trying to stop me from walking away.
" Wait, I can take you if you want?" He asked shyly.
My heart began to race as my mind made sense of this simple touch. Should I let him take me to school? I mean who is this guy? Sure, he saved my life but I don't even know his name?
" If you want to, you don't have to come with me. I was on my way to my new school. I just moved here from Los Angeles on Saturday. I live right down that street over there."
He pointed towards my street. Oh wait a minute, now I remember. He must be the new neighbor that moved in the house across the street from me. My dad was talking about it yesterday. Should I go with him? I don't want to live my life with the regret of not going with him. After all what is life without a little risk.
" Alright, I'll accept your offer."
" Great, step in." He answered with a slight hint of excitement in his voice.
He opened the passenger door for me and I stepped in.I don't know much about cars, but his car looked like one of those cars out of the 50's or something. I liked it, it was the pretty shade of a shiny red. I put on my seatbelt as he got in the car. As he began to drive I finally reminded myself that I should probably get his name or something.
" I never got your name?" I asked nervously.
" It's Javier, Javier Flores. And yours?"
" Luna Macias."
" That's a pretty name."
I began to flush a bright red. Which somehow it was easy to see in my light brown skin.
" Thanks, I'm afraid I never told you what school I go to. Then you won't know where to take me."
"Oh, right."
" I go to a magnet school."
" Do you mean East High Academy?" he responded shyly.
" Yeah? How did you know?" I answered surprised.
" That's where I will be going as well."
" Oh, well that's nice."
The rest of the car ride was pretty much us trying to make small talk. We talked about what kind of things we liked, like our favorite colors. Like we both like green. He likes to listen to rock, as I do too. He told me how he pretty much lives on his own because his parents travel a lot. Then we moved to the most awkward questions.
" So will your boyfriend get mad if he finds out about me giving you a ride?"
I blushed at his question. I was doing it alot this morning.
" I don't have a boyfriend. What about your girlfriend will she get mad?"
He chuckled, and quickly answered.
" I don't have a girlfriend. I haven't found the right girl yet."
I lowered my head, embarassed.
He pulled into the school parking lot, and everyone turned around to stare. This was exactly what I needed, a reason to be more self conscious. He opened the door for me and I waited to thank him but instead he asked if I could take him the main office. I agreed, after all he did give me a ride.
Just then my best friend Mercedes ran up to me, practically squealing.
"Hey! Who is this hottie you have with you?"
I blushed at her remark. Leave to Mercy to make me feel embarassed. She has always been so outgoing.
He laughed, and saw my nervous stare. He pulled me closer to him and placed an arm around my shoulders.
"I'm her boyfriend, Javier."
I promise to update as soon as possible my computer can be moody and doesn't always work. Please review. I'll try to put up a new chapter later today or tomorow. :)
