Illogically Logical
Playing The Part- Part One
Emma grinned as she watched Evie blush and giggle with the red head guy from the parking lot. She casually lent against her locker as she watched them, waiting for the rest of her sisters so that they could go to lunch together. Evie glanced up and met Emma's eyes, blushing further when her sister smirked knowingly at her. She said something to the red head and they headed over. She straightened up and held out her hand as they stopped in front of her.
"Hi! I'm Evie's twin sis, Emma. Who are you?" she asked, her smirk still planted on her face. Luke grinned at Emma's outgoing cockiness.
" I'm Luke. Evie's new boyfriend." He and Emma both laughed and shook hands, as Evie let out a strangled sound and began to resemble a lobster. "Well, I'd like to be anyway." He added with a blushing, but flirty glance at Evie. Emma grinned. She was happy. Incandesantly happy. So far this school seemed very promising. The trio began talking about the school and the area. Luke invited them to join him for lunch, and they both readily agreed. They were asking Luke about the state of the cafeteria food when they heard a big crash down the hall. Turning to look, they saw Mary picking herself up off the floor. Her skirt was wrapped around her legs, making it even harder for her to stand. All around her kids were laughing and pointing. Emma cringed in sympathy and dashed towards her sister to give her a hand. She reached down to grab Mary's arm and was startled to see tears in her sister's baby blue eyes. She shook her head and felt like shaking her sister and holding her close all at the same time. Mary's bluster about not caring what people think was all for show. In truth, she was very insecure. Emma leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"Do not cry in front of these people. Get up dust yourself off and come with me to the washroom." Emma's no nonsense tone sent Mary into action. She breathed through her nose and with the help of Emma stood up and reached for her book bag. Just as she had her bag fixed to her shoulder, it fell back to the floor as Caro and her nasty crew pushed by the two Lawrence girls. Caro snickered and kept moving. She had heard about the chattiness between her Marcus and the new girl. Needless to say, she was not pleased.
Emma rolled her eyes at the she-cat behavior of the blonde and her pals. She picked up her sisters bag and was about to lead Mary into the closest bathroom when Luke and Evie appeared.
"Hey! You're Mary right?" Asked Lucas cheerfully as he reached for Mary's hand. She blushed and smiled under the warmth of his gaze. After they shook hands he threw an arm over her shoulder and began steering her towards the lunchroom. Emma looked at Evie who was busy staring dreamily at Lucas's back.
"Nice going Eve! That guy is great." She grinned as Evie blushed and linked arms with her sister, following Lucas into the cafeteria.
They met Chelsea at the door to the cafeteria. She was with a group of girls her age.
"Hey guys! I'm going to be sitting with them at lunch." She said pointing to the girls behind her. Emma and Evie shrugged, glad that their sister had made friends, and continued into the caf. They saw Luke pulling out a chair for Mary at a table in the center of the room. Emma felt a hitch in her stomach when she saw Marcus already seated at that table. A beefy, but good-looking guy was with him. The girls walked up just as Luke was introducing Mary to the boys. He furthered the introductions to include Emma and Evie. The other boys name was Ralph and he had an affable goof ball attitude that Emma instantly liked. Marcus pulled out the empty chair next to him, making it clear that he wanted Emma to sit next to him. She laughed a little at his audacity but in the end just slid into the seat beside him. The impromptu lunch gathering went off great. Everyone at the table was thoroughly enjoying themselves. Evie and Luke kept staring at each other and blushing. Mary was trying to explain the Green House Effective to a very confused Ralph. And Emma and Marcus got to know each other better, sharing stories and laughter.
After a happy, albeit exhausting, first day of school, Evie turned her face up to the sky as she walked to her car. The sun beat down on her face and she sighed happily. It seemed that life here in Toronto, wouldn't be that bad. In fact right now, it was looking pretty great, she had already made a few friends and it seemed like her sisters were settling in well. All was well. She lent against the car as she waited for sisters. Trying to keep her mind from thinking about a certain someone. To soon Eve, she thought. Way to soon. But, it still wouldn't hurt to take up said someone's offer for a date on Friday.
