Anyhting For You
Chapter 9
After Elizabeth had sat down, in the only seat left…next to Nikolas.
"I planned it that way?" Nikolas smiled
"You planned what?"
"Making sure the seat beside me would stay free"
Elizabeth couldn't help but chuckle.
"Well, gee I'm so completely thrilled" she sarcastically stated as she hit his arm
Elizabeth briefly glanced up to see Lucky turning away. He looked like he was in turmoil with himself. The teacher hadn't entered yet, so she got up and entered the hallway. Lucky was already half way down.
"Lucky?"
Elizabeth started to jog to catch up with him. Lucky stopped and turned around. Elizabeth had already caught up to him.
"Elizabeth what are you doing? You're going to be late for class"
"Lucky, what's wrong?"
"What do you mean what's wrong? Nothing's wrong" Lucky smiled
"Lucky I know you to well. I know that look in your eye when something is on your mind"
"Elizabeth I have tons of things on my mind"
"You know what I mean, something is really bothering you"
"Elizabeth, I'm fine really. I promise. Now go to class your going to be late."
Liz laughed, "You know as well as I do I can use the old 'girl problems' excuse! Believe me that can buy as much time as I want, especially since this is Mr. Harrison's class!"
"Does it matter if it's Mr. Harrison or not?"
"No, but his a guy! It only really works well on guys"
"Okay so, you don't have to go, but I do. I don't have an excuse like that to use!"
"Okay, okay. Are you sure your okay?"
"I'm fine"
They both took off, Liz back to her class and Lucky to his.

Elizabeth waited for Lucky at his car after school. She sat on the grass right in front of the car. A pair of hands covered her eyes from behind. She knew who it was, but didn't say anything.
"So missy, tell me who I am?"
"Hummmm, my dream guy"
"Of course"
"Well Jonathan, how did you find me?"
"Jonathan?"
"Yeah! You said you were my dream guy"
"And just who is your dream guy?"
"Jonathan Jackson"
"Really?"
"Yep"
One of the hands slipped free, but the other hand was covering both Elizabeth's eyes. The free hand made it's way to her sides.
"Are you sure?"
"Yep, Lucky don't you dare!"
Lucky tickled her now, with both hands. Elizabeth was kicking and laughing
"St…haha…sto-…hahaha stop! Lucky! Hahaha"
In her kicking and screaming fit, Elizabeth knocked over Lucky too. He fell to the ground beside her.
Liz laughed, "That's what you get!"
They were extremely close. It became very noticeable to both now, just how close they were, but either one of them moved. Elizabeth bit her lip.
"Hey Luck, do you ever get butterfly's in your stomach?"
"I guess so, doesn't everyone?"
Both slowly moved towards each other, like their bodies were gravitating towards each other. Lucky reached his hand out and softly brushed off to the side, a piece of hair that fell into Elizabeth's face.
"Lucky hey!"
Elizabeth sat up immediately. Lucky slowly sat up after her.
"Hey Chris, what's up?"
"Not much. Hey Liz"
"Hi" Elizabeth awkwardly smiled as she stood up
"So what are you guys up to?"
"Not much, just about to go home"
"Cool. I just wanted to ask you Lucky, what happened in English class today?"
"Not too much, we were just going over that Shakespeare play we finished. Oh! The test for that is going to be on Friday"
"Okay thanks man"
"No problem. I'll catch ya later"
"Bye Liz"
"See ya"
Chris jogged over to his car. Lucky turned to Elizabeth who was now standing beside the passenger side of the car. Lucky walked over to her door and unlocked it, he moved around the back and hopped in the driver seat. The ride home was pretty awkward. They had conversation, just avoiding the main issue at all costs, 'what would've happened if Chris hadn't shown up'.
Lucky pulled into the driveway they both got out.
"Hey Luck, I'm just gonna go over to my place for a little while okay"
"Yeah okay"
"I'll be over soon"
Elizabeth walked up to her front door and opened it. The minute it was shut she slumped against it.
"What just happened there? Am I imagining things or did Lucky want to kiss me as much as I wanted to kiss him?"
Elizabeth shook her head and made her way upstairs to her room, completely forgetting it was almost right beside Lucky's. She lay down on her bed just thinking. After a little while she reached for her sketchbook and began to draw.
~~**~~
Lucky walked into his house. No one was there, Laura was off with Lulu somewhere, and Luke was off on one of his adventures. He went into the kitchen and grabbed a coke can and went to sit down on the couch.
"I can't believe that? I just imagining that? Man, I need to stop reading into things, I mean we were just having fun right?"
Lucky tried to convince himself.

"Hey Emily"
"Hi Chris"
Emily had been shopping when she ran into Chris.
"How are you?"
"I'm good, u?"
"Fine. Did you find anything you like?"
"Yeah I found a few things"
"I'm here with my little sister. Say can I ask you something Emily?"
"Sure"
"Well you know Elizabeth and Lucky right?"
"Yeah"
"I was just wondering when they finally became a couple?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well I accidentally interrupted something I think"
Emily smiled, "Really, what happened?"
"Well I went to go talk to Lucky about what happened in English today and they looked like they were about to kiss"
"That's so great!"
"What?"
"Oh I mean, I don't think anything has happened between them"
"Well if it hasn't yet, I'm sure it's gonna happen soon. Look there's my little sister, I gotta go"
"Okay Bye Chris"
"Bye Emily"
Chris walked off to catch up to his sister. Emily stood there smiling from ear to ear. She reached into her purse and pulled out her phone.
"Nikolas, guess what!"
