Sorry, I might be stopping this story. At least for now, when I have more time on my hands, i'll definitely continue it. :)
*PS, this is just a preview; it's not the complete Chapter 2. :( Sadly.
Enjoy anyway? :)
Secretly Soulmates
Chapter 2
Polar Opposites, Attract?
"Thanks for the lunch…" Brianna smiled. "It was really good." They just came out of the restaurant, and were walking towards the park next door. Brianna felt so content at the moment, and not only because of the food. When she hung around with Ethan so normally, it made her feel so comfortable and open. It really opened her eyes as to how easy it was to talk with guys, since she usually traps herself in her room and studies, and never comes out except for a healthy meal, three times a day, or school of course.
"No problem. I finally got you talking, so I'm really happy." Even if it was only about school… talking's still talking, right? Ethan thought. "Hey, let's go to the zoo."
"The… Zoo?" It wasn't that she had any past traumas concerning zoos or animals, but she preferred to keep her distance when it came to the topic. "Why that?"
"No reason, don't you like going there? The animals are interesting, don't you agree?"
"Um… Well, not really. It's sort of not my preference…"
"Huh?" Ethan replied, surprised. All – or most – of the dates he went on revolved around the zoo. Even though he went there so many times, that even the animals could practically recognize him, it was the most convenient place to bring girls- they would become so engrossed in the animals, they would love him for even bringing them there. He wasn't always bored, either. The animals were so friendly and loving; at times he would even admit he thought they were adorable. He loved playing with them, especially if the date was really boring. Of course, Brianna isn't like any other regular girl… he thought, which could be bad or good. But either way, changing date locations would be refreshing every once in a while. "Alright, we won't go there… But can I ask why not?"
"It's not that I like, hate animals or anything, I love them. I just find the zoo filthy and disgusting- why would anyone like staring at a bunch of dung-covered mammals?" she rolled her eyes. This slightly offended Ethan in a way, because even though he looks tough, he was one of those 'dung-covered mammal' lovers. Still, she said that she didn't hate animals. The animals at the zoo are so friendly, why wouldn't she love them? In the end, he concluded that she has never been to a zoo before, but decided not to press her on it.
"Alright, in that case, where do you wanna go?" Without missing a beat, a car passed by, booming their music through their windows. Both Brianna and Ethan laughed, when they heard the song, Anywhere But Here by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus come on. They looked at each other, astonished. "You like them too?"
"Well, I don't like those slow, boring girly songs if that's what you're asking." She smiled. She had no idea that a polar opposite like her would have so much in common with the school's playboy. Of course, she had to remember that everyone was human, only some categorized differently than others. Ethan laughed and put his arm casually around her shoulder and muttered something that Brianna swore she would never hear come out of a mouth like his.
