Chapter 1: New Girl
A/N: I hope you enjoyed the prologue. It was rather vague, so here's the next chapter to explain the gist of where the story's going.
"Do you have a pen I can borrow? I left mine at home," a female voice asked Chase, to his surprise. He set aside the intricate-looking manual he sat engrossed in before Chemistry class.
"Of course," Chase mumbled as he rummaged through his bag.
When he looked up to hand the mystery girl the pen, he froze, gaping at the gorgeous woman in front of him. Her chocolate hair rested on her shoulder in loose, beachy waves. Her tanned, olive complexion appeared soft and smooth. Her almond eye, framed by a curtain of lashes, exuded mischievousness. While studying her large but balanced lips, the need to kiss them overcome Chase, but he resisted the temptation. Her deep green strapless dress emphasized her hourglass figure, leaving little to the imagination.
She was perfect.
Chase stared at her in shock. 'Why is this goddess talking to a nerd like him?' he wondered in awe.
Thankfully she hadn't noticed his reaction. She set her bag on the table and continued chattering as she shifted through its contents. "Thanks, you saved my life. My name is Eve. I moved here a week ago and I don't know anyone. Can I be your lab partner?"
"Sure. Where did you move from?" Chase asked, collecting himself.
"New Jersey, near the shore," she responded.
Chase listened attentively as Eve detailed their reason for the move. Her mom's job required them to move frequently, much to her dismay. After moving so many times, she resents starting over and making new friends, only to abandon them in a few months.
Chase empathetically shared his woes of starting a new school. Chase was sharing his talent show mishap when the bell rang. They continued talking through the hall. Chase enjoyed seeing the jealousy on other guys' faces because a beautiful girl was talking to him.
Leo interrupted Chase's happiness. "Come on, man. Let's go to Gym," Leo commanded as he grabbed Chase and started dragging him away.
"But he was showing me where my next class is," Eve whined.
"Sorry. I need to go. I'll text you afterschool," Chase yelled as the crowd carried her away.
"You will not! That girl is trouble," Leo ordered.
"How do you know? You've never even talked to her! I think you're just jealous," Chase complained.
"I know her type. She's a gold-digger. She only likes you for your money," Leo explained.
"I'm the smartest person in the world. I don't need your advice," Chase snarled condescendingly.
"Man, I just want to help you. Didn't you see what she is wearing?" Leo pleaded.
"Bree and Adam always harass me about not talking to girls. Now when I finally do you don't approve? I didn't even ask you," Chase yelled as he walked away angrily.
