Okay, short note. I want to thank the reviewers; I appreciate their
opinions on the story. I also want to apologize for chapter 4 being a
little short. And finally I REALLY WANT reviews. So, please review! Thanks
in advance.
A new face out of the race Chapter 4
"Hey Lucky." Emily said as she sat in the passenger seat.
"Hey, got everything?" Lucky asked.
"Yeah. Let's get going before we're late." Emily relaxed and put on her seatbelt.
"We're never late. Who was that guy?" Lucky checked his mirror and drove out of the harberview tower parking lot.
"Some kid that just walked up to me and started a conversation. He said his name was Zander." Emily looked over at him. Was it her or did he seem a little jealous?
"I'm guessing it wasn't pleasant. You seemed to want to get away as soon as possible." Lucky glanced at her, but kept his eyes on the road.
"I don't know, but something about that guy I don't like." Emily bristled. He seemed a little too friendly. "Or it might be that it's a Monday." She shrugged.
"Yeah, hard to tell with you and Mondays. You're not exactly a morning person. But I think something happened before you came down." Lucky suspected. She seemed so depressed most of the time. He was starting to get worried.
"Same old mornings. You wake up, shower, go downstairs and are ignored." Emily leaned her head against the back of the car seat.
"Is that it?" Lucky knew Melissa was getting all the attention. But something else was bothering her. He wished she would tell him what it was. He was her best friend, no? Best friends always tell each other what's happening. Well, things were changing between them more than they like to admit, so that's not really true anymore.
Emily looked out the window. Of course something was bothering her. He could tell. He could always tell. If this was true why didn't he realized she liked him more than a friend? "Yeah." Emily reached for her bag as he parked the truck in the parking lot. "I'll see you later." She closed the door and ran toward the school doors.
Lucky sat in his truck and watched Emily go through the doors. He leaned his head against the back of the seat. Something was seriously wrong with her. He was going to find out this afternoon when they were alone. Alone. Wonderful. Chances are he'll do something he'll regret, but the feelings between the two were becoming too hard to resist. Lucky sighed and got out of the car. Why were these things happening to them?
