Katie jumped, almost dropped her cards, put them down instead, and jumped to her feet, looking like she was about to tackle me. Laughing, I got to my feet as quickly as I could, scrambled a few steps away, then fell down hard on my tailbone, laughing all the while.
"That was so not funny," Katie snarled.
"Yes, it was," Alanna said, giggling with Jeanne, "and you know it. You just don't want to admit it." If looks could kill, Alanna would be on the ground with blood gushing from her chest. "Oh, Vi, there's something you might want to know," Alanna remarked, after containing her laughter.
"Hmm," I questioned, a smile still on my face.
"Well," Jeanne stated, "there's a new student at school."
My heart literally skipped a beat, then it was beating faster, hope, wanting( where did that come from), and longing filling me, making me hope it was him. But then, as soon as that hit me, doubt did to. Try getting hit with both of those, one after the other. "How do you know?"
I looked from her, to Alanna, to Katie, then back to her. A knowing look was beginning to appear on her face, like always when she knew something that no one else knew. But before she could speak, Alanna butted in saying, "'Cause, he just explained."
I gasped and my breath caught in my throat like a wild thing caged. Slowly, I got to my feet, holding my breath while hope started to fill my chest. I so wanted it to be him! Cautiously, I turned, looking at the student parking lot. Alanna was right!
Even though they hadn't seen all the cars that park here at Rivergrove High, they all knew when there was a new car. And now, there was one of those "new cars" pulling in to the lot. (Whistle.) A 911 silver Turbo Porsche pulled into a parking spot. I let my breath go, hearing the whoosh of it as I let it out. I turned away, my doubt returning. But then, I saw it. I swear, my heart literally stopped at what I saw out of the corner of my eye.
The person got out of the 911 Turbo, got his stuff (I could tell it was a he), the locked his car. But it wasn't him himself that stopped him in my tracks, but his hair. Even though his hair was the same as my savior's, there was only one thing that I could recognize him by... His eyes.
