Chapter 1- Two Opposites
She was the school's stereotype of "Prep" because she was involved in many different clubs. Yet her forte was painting even though only a few selected people knew what she was painting about. After the school bell had rung she went straight to the art studio to work on her mural. That was when he walked into the room, Darien Shields, the ideal type of the school's "Jock". He was tall with broad shoulders and a lean muscular form. He has short raven hair and lightly tan skin but it was his ocean blue depths that intrigued her most.
As he was looking around the class for his equipment he smiled as he viewed the picture before him. Selene Carlson seemed to be painting and had a blot of purple paint on her left cheek. Her long golden hair was cascading down her back. She had a petite form and light skin but very attractive features. He wanted to laugh because she was still unaware of her predicament. The thing that really caught his attention was her cerulean colored eyes that seem to sparkle with life and yet something else. There wasn't much that he knew about Selene since they weren't really friends but mere acquaintances.
Suddenly as their gazes met he walked over towards her forgetting what he was sent to do. His fingertips brushed away the paint on her cheek as soon as he realized he had touched her he moved a few steps back. Selene started to blush a bit as she tore her gaze away from his. She asked, "Were you looking for something?"
It took a few minutes for him to realize that she was talking to him. After coming off cloud 8 ½ he finally answered, "Umm yeah I was looking for some sport equipment that a friend left here. He left his football around here I think." Finally, locating the ball on the first desk he took it and smiled a dashing smile at her and left.
Looking at the place that he was standing a minute ago Selene finally turned back towards her mural. Sighing in frustration she knew she wasn't getting anywhere at the moment something was missing in her artwork. An hour has passed as she finally sets her tools away and gets ready for home. On her way to her house she is in deep thought. ~What is my painting missing? I look at artwork and I see the greatness in it but part of me is missing a point. Did it really take a look at Darien to truly understand that my work was missing something? How odd...~ CRASH Before she knew what had happened she felt strong arms wrap around her and hold her close.
"Hey Selene you really should watch were you are going or else you might hurt yourself." ~How odd her body molds into mine...wait a minute~
Selene felt her cheeks turn a light hue of pink as she become conscious that she was currently in Darien Shield's arms. ~ What is he doing still holding me?~ "I am sorry about that I wasn't looking where I was going" she said.
Darien released her reluctantly and replied, "No worries about it...Uh Selene right? I am sorry I didn't introduce myself sooner. I am-"
"Darien Shields, captain of the football team, and team member for almost most sports. Yes, I know you well by reputation that is." She smiled warmly towards him.
"Yep that is me! Well, Selene I would love to stay and chat but I gotta go and get some work done. I hope to bump into you some other time." He gave her another dashing smile as he left. ~She seems really nice a little not all there but nice none the less.~
As soon as he left she stopped holding her breath. ~Wow Darien Shields actually knows who I am. Too bad we are almost total opposites~
