p class="MsoNormal""Do you think we need to take the book home – you know, emExploring the Human Body/em, or whatever it's called?" I asked Andrea. "Or can I leave it here?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"She shoved her locker shut, her arms full of books. She wore reading glasses that were attached to a chain so it could hang around her neck. The look kind of worked on Andrea, I called it the Charming Librarian look. "It's a lot of reading. I'm bringing it."/p
p class="MsoNormal"I reached back into my locker for the textbook. Behind us, the hall hummed with noise as students roamed and ate at the cafeteria./p
p class="MsoNormal""We have a new student in my Quantum Physics class."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Andrea paged idly through the book on top of her stack and slowly said: "And?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Made an impression on Dr. Brenan; as in he's watching him with wide eyes," I snickered as I glanced at Andrea. "He'd pretty smart too…"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Who is it?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""His name is, uh", I scratched my head to try to remember his name, "Chase Davenport?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"She began turning slowly towards me and I thought she was in control of herself for once. But I shouldn't have thought that because she dropped all of her books… on my toe./p
p class="MsoNormal""OH EMM GEE!"/p
p class="MsoNormal"I couldn't think straight, mainly because my toe was throbbing, but also that she was screaming at the top of her lungs./p
p class="MsoNormal""No way!"/p
p class="MsoNormal"I looked at her as my toe began to throb more intensely. I could barely hear her as she screamed even louder which made me go deaf./p
p class="MsoNormal""How did he look? Does he have muscles? Does he have a girlfriend?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"I held my head in one hand due to the textbook in the other as she kept asking me question after question. I couldn't take it anymore./p
p class="MsoNormal""Andrea! Why are you screaming? Do you know him?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"She looked at me with a blank expression on her face. "Are you fucking kidding me? You've never heard of Chase?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"She was looking at me as if I had three heads, "No… why? Should I know him?/p
p class="MsoNormal"We headed to the cafeteria and sat down at our table in the corner right beside the vending machines. It was my favorite table to sit at./p
p class="MsoNormal"When I first started coming here two years ago I had the worst first day ever. I didn't know anybody and everyone thought I wasn't cool enough. But after that day I was determined to be noticed. I wanted some respect so I went to cheer tryouts and amazing enough I got in. All the cheerleaders were so excited to have me as part of their crowd except one; the cheer captain, Shelby. /p
p class="MsoNormal"Andrea's voice brought me back to earth: "What do mean you don't know him?!."/p
p class="MsoNormal"I shake my head, embarrassed. I'm so disconnected with the world./p
p class="MsoNormal""Okay," She moved her chair closer to the table as she looks at me, "He's the son of multi-billionaire inventor Donald Davenport who owns Davenport Industries…"/p
p class="MsoNormal"I stared aimlessly out the windows, lost in thought while Andrea's voice faded into the background. I remembered the men circling around me, ready and waiting. One man stood back, keeping watch that no one was there to see them kill me. I shivered slightly at the thought of it happening again./p
p class="MsoNormal" "…Chase was born a genius. Everyone says he's going to run Davenport Industries one day. But the only thing that's bugging me is why would he want to come to our school?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"I look at her as she tried to make sense of her story. She had a point. What made our school so special that he would want to be here? He had money, he had everything and he came here?/p
p class="MsoNormal""I have no idea." /p
p class="MsoNormal""Why don't you ask him?" I didn't know what she meant until her gaze met something over my head./p
p class="MsoNormal"I shifted in my seat and slowly turned in my seat to see him standing right behind my chair, his smile illuminating my entire world./p
p class="MsoNormal"'What am I saying? I just met him.'/p
p class="MsoNormal"His eyes brightened by the sunlight and looked all too familiar to me – hazel, like in the woods four years ago./p
p class="MsoNormal""Hi", his voice was low and amazingly sexy. emWait what?/em "I couldn't help but overhear your conversation."/p
p class="MsoNormal"I stuttered my answer: "W-well we just were talking about… you weren't supposed to hear..." What's happening to me? I'm supposed to be Bree, not afraid of anything, Chandler. /p
p class="MsoNormal"I glanced back at Andrea as she looked back at me in awe./p
p class="MsoNormal"_/p
p class="MsoNormal"strongHey guys. I wanted to repost and change some things about this chapter. How is it?/strong/p
