Contest nr. 1
Date(s)
A/N: If I had owned GONE, the series would never made it to LIES, so, I do not own GONE!
Caine´s POV:
Diana Ladris.
She was the only girl that didn´t show any affection to him. She didn´t look at him like everyone else did.
Not with hunger, like the girls (and some boys) did. Not with hate, like the bullies in Coates did. Not suspiciously, like the teachers and all the grown-ups that had met him did. And not like they wanted to be him, like the rest of the people did.
No, she was one of a kind. She barley looked at him, and when she did, the look made him look away.
She was mysterious, and she had power. He had just been there for four days, and he had already gained most of the power in this boarding school.
He had bullies that were afraid of him, he had teachers paying attention to him, and he had girls drooling over him. All his life girls had jumped right in his arms, so when it happened here, it wasn´t something new.
He knew how to play that game. When girls came to him, asking if he wanted to go on a date, he simply said that he already had a date with a Townie. That little piece of information had made all the girls go even more crazy for him.
To survive Coates, you had to be strong, or anonym. Most girls at Coates were hot, and they never backed down. So now he was kind of a competition. First girl to get him as their boyfriend.
His thoughts drifted off to Astrid and their date tomorrow. Astrid had pointed out that her parents were real straight, so he had asked her if she wanted to go see a movie with him that Friday. She had said yes, and he had purposely picked the most romantic film that where going that night.
After all, it was she who had wondered if it was a date.
She didn´t know which movie they were going to see, so she would maybe be surprised. But if the date didn´t go well (not very likely), he could just continue saying he dated a Townie, no one would know that he didn´t see Astrid anymore.
He suddenly felt unwell. Strange.
Astrid´s POV:
For the first time in many years, Astrid wasn´t reading a book on her short free time. She was chatting, with School Bus Sam.
She still remembered the day he had saved all the kids, including herself. When it had happened, she hadn´t noticed, because she was reading a book of Edgar Allan Poe.
She had looked up when Sam had hurried to the front of the bus, and she had seen how he handled the situation. He was so brave, and soon became the hero of the school. But as the year went, people started forgetting what he had done, and he had just slid into all the other students.
Do u want 2 hang out w/ me tomorrow?
Astrid stopped typing. She hadn´t expected him to ask her to hang out with him. They had just chatted in half an hour, and if you didn´t think of that, they had never talked!
They weren't even in the same class for crying out loud! Or, they would, but it was a reason she was called Astrid The Genius.
She inhaled. She had to let him down, she was going to the cinema with Caine tomorrow! And it wasn´t a big deal, it wasn´t like he was asking her out.
Sorry. I can´t, I´m busy tomorrow.
After she sent it, she started thinking of the date with Caine. She was actually looking forward to it. Caine made something move inside her. He made her feel special.
Oh. What r u doing?
She wasn´t all comfortable in telling him, but she already had changed so much…
I´m going to the cinema
The reply came fast: Oh, which movie? She smiled.
I don´t know which, the person I´m going with keeps it a secret
Who?
Now it starts to get a little too personal, she thought. He was digging in her private life! She just wanted to end the conversation, but that would be suspiciously. So she answered the question.
Just a boy I met. It´s getting late. Bye!
Sam´s POV:
Bye, he wrote.
Astrid must have been a little freaked out, because suddenly she ended the conversation. But that was all right, because he had got all the information he needed.
After he logged off Facebook, he quickly looked up the list of movies that were going tomorrow. He bet they would go to Santa Barbra, and since Soren still was her only other male Facebook-friend, she sure as hell was going with him.
Soren was the one picking movie and they had kissed, so he bet the bastard was picking something romantic.
The most romantic movie was showing off at two points. At eight pm, and eleven pm. Since Astrid was Astrid, Sam bet they would go when the movie went at eight.
So, the local cinema of Santa Barba at eight. He had them now. Then all he needed was someone to go with, and Sam knew exactly who he was going to ask out.
Lunch, the next day
"Hey, Emma!" Emma was Anna´s twin-sister. Some time back, Sam had dated Anna, but that was just because he felt he had to and didn't want to seem like a dork. Even he had some standards!
He jogged over to her, food-tray in hand. "Oh, hey Sam," she answered, smiling. "Um, you Emma, would you go to the cinema with me tonight?" She looked shocked.
"Oh, um, Sam, I really -" She was going to say no, that couldn´t happen! "Emma, I really like you, please, just give me this chance!" Her face softened. "But aren´t you head over heels in love with Astrid? We all have seen how you look at her…"
He scoffed. He didn´t like it very much, but he had to lie. "No, I´m over her. Now it´s you." She frowned at him, and she also looked rater angry.
"Oh, so you just jump from girl to girl?!" he held his hands up in defense. "No, no, no, no! I just mean that, Astrid is just way to perfect…" She looked angrier. "…No one can be so flawless, it has to be something wrong with her. And-" he stretched the and, while he tried to come up with something. "-my feelings for her have changed totally, I´m in love with you."
He couldn´t believe this. She had made him confess a false love in front of everybody! Now he bet the whole school would talk about this.
She was silent for a long time, and then sighed. "You aren´t letting this go, are you?" He laughed and shook his head. "Nope." A little smile creped along her face. "Okay. When and where do I meet you?"
On the inside, Sam was already planning what to say to Astrid.
Hope you liked it!
And which movie do you think they are going to see? Shout out!
Remember to review, when I see them, I want to hurry to my computer and write!
