Chapter 4, 4th Chapter in a day. Just shows how bored i am. Anyways, any suggestion would be great. Thanks.
Chuck POV
During the walk to Spanish, it was uneventful. Carina and I chatted about random things. However, she did mention her friend Sarah alot. From what i've heard, she seems to be a great person and beautiful one. I don't know how but i just do. I also believe that Carina was hinting at something but i have no idea. As usual, i'm clueless at these things.
As we reach the classroom door she suddenly turns and tells me to stay here before she turned around and stalked into the classroom. At the moment the only thing going through my head is What the frick? So, i do what she says and i wait for 2 minutes. I glance at my watch every so often before walking into the class. Out of the corner of my eye i see a girl with blonde hair look at me. Actually, is she checking me out? She is. Score 1 for the chuckmiseter. Okay, that was cheesy but lucky for me, only i can read tell what is going through my mind but Morgan has this freaky thing where he knows what you are going to say before you say it. Wierd.
I turn to face the teacher with my back to the crowd.
"Hey, sorry, i got lost. I'm Chuck, i'm new."
"Ah yess. Chuck. Welcome to the class and i hope you enjoy it. You can sit wherever you like."
"Thank you." And with that, i turn around and look for a seat. I see the blonde girl is sitting next to Carina. Is she Sarah? I sure hope she is. From what i can see, my assumptions were correct, she is beautiful. I smile a little brighter as i see the empty spot next to her. Sadly, i'm not the best at talking to girls so as i open my mouth, it begins to string a couple words which i have no control over.
"He-ey, Miss, is it okay if i sit next to you. I don't have anywhere to sit and well, i need somewhere to sit and it appears you know Carina and i just, please, i won't bother you. It's okay if you say no, i can always sit somewhere else but..."
My breath hitches as she glances up. Her bright blue orbs pause me to freeze mid sentence. Behind that gaze, i don't know how but it felt like i could see into her sould. Everything she was thinking. She blushes. A pink tinge overtaking her cheeks. Wow.
I snap back to reality as i see Carina nudge the girl and says "Yeah Chuck, Sarah won't mind. Sorry, she's a bit shy around cute boys." I see Sarah shoot her a glare. Hmm, what is this about. "But i'm sure she won't mind."
"Are you sure?" I ask nervously. I must sound like a wierdo rambling on and on.
"Ermm, Chuck, right? It's fine. You can sit here." Aha, she speaks. However my thought gets stopped as i see her glance up again. Her bright blue orbs pause me to freeze mid sentence. Behind that gaze, i don't know how but it felt like i could see into her sould. Everything she was thinking. She blushes. A pink tinge overtaking her cheeks. Wow. I flash her a grin and take my seat.
As i ruffle through my bag i realise i don't have a pen. I don't really want to ask a teacher on my first day to borrow a pen. That would probably make her think i was sloppy and un organized. I find myself glance at Sarah. A idea pops into my head. Like a lightbulb turning on. Leaning over, i tap her arm. As i lean in, i catch a whiff off her Cherry scent making me breathe deeply. Yep, i am definitely a wierdo.
Her head whips round and i get a good view of her face. High cheekbones, tinged cheeks, long blonde hair that trails round her face in messy waves but what gets me most was her eyes. Only one word. Wow! I am momentarily speechless but snap out of it as i see her expression turn to questioning. Realising, i was staring, i cough slightly and blush. Looking down, i catch a glimpse of a small smile. Again wow. Taking deep breathes, i look up and smile.
"Sorry to bother you Sarah but i seem to have forgotten my pen. Do you have one i may borrow?" I smile lightly.
"Errm, Uh huh, i mean yeah, of course you can." She says blushing. God, she is going to be the death of me but what a way to go. She turns and rummages through her pencil case before presenting me with a black biro. "Here you go."
"Thank you." I give her a grin and cheer mentally when she blushes again.
"Anytime." I nearly didn't hear it as she said it in barely a whisper.
Turning back, i focus on the teacher but thoughts off her plague my mind.
Sarah POV
A touch brings me to reality. I whip round and see Chuck staring at me. I smile inwardly before my expression turns confused. Why is he staring at me like that? Not that i mind but wow, that gaze is intense. His chocolate eyes pierced into mine with a integrity and such force that it was like he was looking into my soul.
Suddenly he speaks "Sorry to bother you Sarah but i seem to have forgotten my pen. Do you have one i may borrow?"
I stutter as i see him smile. "Errm, uh huh, i mean yeah, of course you can." I turn quickly and rummage through my pencil case. After a couple of seconds i find a black biro and hand it to him. "Here you go."
"Thank you." He grins at me, a large, happy grin that makes my insides flip. I know i am blushing so i quickly say "Anytime." It musn't have been more than a whisper and i hope he heard it. I turn back back to the teacher but thoughts of him plague my mind.
Chuck POV
I don't think i heard anything Mrs Cauchy said especially with Sarah next to me. Once the bell goes i scramble to grab my stuff and stumble out of class.
Sarah POV
I watch as Chuck stumbles out of class wondering if i was really that bad to be with. I sigh and leave to go to my other classes.
Chuck POV
I know running was cowardly but what exactly do you say to a gorgeous girl without wanting to kill yourself as you die of embarrresment. I head to class. As i pat my pockets i realise i still have Sarahs pen. Aha, another chance to talk to her.
Sarah POV
Damnit, he still has my pen but at least it will give me a chance to see him. I grin inwardly.
Chuck POV
Lessons went relatively quickly. The final bell for Lunch rang and i walked out to meet with Morgan and his friends. Maybe i'll see her again. I smile and begin to walk to the cafeteria. I eventually made it with the help of peers around me. Walking through the double doors i spot Morgan talking animatedly with Carina. I catch a flash of blonde and see Sarah sit in front of them with her back to me.
I wave at Morgan and head off to the line to get my lunch.
Two minutes later, i am back with my lunch and approaching the table. Luckily, i didn't trip. Ah, a first for everything. My big feet make it impossible to walk straight without stumbling and breaking a few bones. I see Sarah glance up as i sit down on her right. I give her the full Bartowski grin and turn to face Morgan and Carina who both seem to have amused expressions on their face.
I narrow my eyes and assess them. They both face each other, smile, then turn back to me and Morgan begins to talk. "Hey Chuck, i heard you are in Spanish with Carina and our dear Sarah here." Sarah glances up and appears to narrow her eyes at him. Phew, i woulsdn't want to be on the end of that glare.
"Yeah, yeah, i am. I actually met Carina when i was wandering through the hallways like dora the explorer but instead of being able to know where i am going, i didn't." Morgan chuckles.
After he says "I can picture you walking around like that, man."
"Thanks for the sympathy." I say sarcastically.
Carina smiles and says "Yeah, lucky for him, i am glad to help any cute boys." She actually purrs the last part. My eyes widen and Morgan begins to laugh. "Dude, you should off seen your face. You looked like you pooped your pants."
"Haha, very funny. I'll have you know, I have never pooped my pants besides from nappies but everyone does that."
"Okay, okay." Morgan says, haha, he is admitting defeat.
I only just realised that Sarah hadn't said a word but she was looking betwwen us with a smirk on her face. I remember the pen.
"Sarah, hey, i'm sorry, i completely forgot to give your pen back, i just... i'm sorry. Here you go. Before you ask i haven't chewed on it or done anything remotely like that. Scouts honour." I even held up three fingers to prove it.
A giggle erupted from her. Heaven to my ears as she said "Don't worry bout it Chuck. And since you did just use scouts honour i believe that i shall believe you." She grins at me and i sit there speechless before i let the famous grin overtake my face. As she reaches to take the pen her fingers brush mine and i feel a tingle shoot up my spine, carrying warmth throughout my body like a rivers' current carries water. I hear her breath hitch and i know that she must have felt it too. She pulls away suddenly and i catch her gaze. I don't know how long we sit there staring at each other. Our moment is interrupted by a sound of a throat being cleared.
I turn to see Carina grinning like a fool and Morgan glancing at her from the corner of his eyes. Hmm, what is that about?
The bell suddenly goes and i watch as Carina grabs Sarah by the arm and drags her through the crowd. I leave with Morgan.
Sarah POV
As soon as the bell goes Carina grabs my arm and we race through the crowd like we're on fire. As soon as we are at our final class she speaks.
"What the heck was that?"
"What was what?" I ask feigning innocence.
"Sarah, don't act dumb. You were there. You are totally into him and he is totally hooked on you."
"I'm not into him." However in my mind, it is shouting LIAR! I think back to that moment where i accidently brushed his fingers and the electricity that crackled through my body like i had been struck by a lightning bolt but in a good way. I hope he felt it too.
"Uh huh, your mouth may say one thing but your dreamy gaze is saying another." I quickly snap out of it and glare at Carina but she appears unaffected.
"Okay, maybe a bit." Carina just smirks and faces Mr Montgomery. I sigh and listen to him speak.
