A new face out of the race
Chapter 7
Walking down the main hall of Port Charles High Emily made her way to her locker. It wasn't without fault, she ran into someone once again. Emily kneeled down to collect her books.
"I'm so sorry about..." Emily looked up and saw Zander. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm a student here." Zander simply stated.
"Since when?" Emily picked up her books and stood up to walk away.
"Today." Zander said. Emily heard everyone talking about the new kid at school, but didn't really care.
"Well, welcome to Port Charles High School in that case." Emily said. "If you'll excuse me, I have to be going." Emily walked around him, but he grabbed her wrist gently.
"Wait, I was wondering if you would show me around Port Charles on Saturday." Zander stated and waited for an answer. He got one, but not from her.
"She can't." Lucky answered, coming near Zander and Emily. Emily looked confused. "She is helping me clean my dad's club." He finished, looking at Emily's face.
"I was?" Emily said. She hadn't remembered she was. "Oh, yeah. I totally forgot." Emily said, following Lucky's lead.
"I guess, I'll have to find another person in that case." Zander said smoothly. A little too smooth. "I'll see you on Monday." He walked away and turned into the main stairwell.
Emily glared at Lucky as he watched Zander until he was out of sight. He turned his gaze back to Emily's face.
"What was that about?" She growled, obviously not too happy with Lucky at the moment.
"What do you mean? I just helped you get out of plans you obviously didn't want to do." Lucky explained and looked over at the stairwell again. Something about that guy was unnerving. Or it might just be jealousy, he thought. Jealousy? No way was he jealous. Just because Zander was getting a little cozy with Emily doesn't mean he was jealous. He just got a bad feeling from Zander that was it.
"I could of done that without your help Lucas Lorenzo." Lucky winced, if she just called him Lucas Lorenzo, then he was in big trouble. Though he couldn't deny how hot she looked when she was mad. He thought about what to say to that, but kept coming back to the idea that he was jealous. Okay, he admitted it. He was jealous.
Lucky flashed his Spencer grin and tried with his charms to get into her good graces. "I was going to ask for you to help me anyway." He lied. "I knew you had no plans Saturday and you wouldn't say no."
"I might of said no, but now that you announced it to Zander, I can't." She said trying to keep her temper in line. If Lucky thought she was some damsel in distress, he was mistaken.
Lucky inwardly groaned. Spencer charms didn't work this time around. He knew Emily's independence was her favorite virtue. Not to mention she was distracting his thoughts in her present position. Her hands were crossed with her books to her chest and her short skirt she was wearing revealed how long her legs were. He let his gaze go from her body to her face. Her brown eyes sparkled with anger. Her hair glistened in the light. Her lips were partially open, waiting for a reply. What would if be like to taste them just once?
"Lucky!" She shouted getting impatient for a reply. It certainly got him out of his thoughts.
"Ummm..." Lucky mumbled. What did she say again? "Be at my dad's club at ten on Saturday." Emily's face crunched together in confusion. "I'll see you then." Lucky retreated down the hall. He knew he was taking the coward's way out, but all he could do was leave to prevent him acting on his feelings.
Emily stared at Lucky's retreating form. What was that about? One minute their having an argument and the next Lucky is practically checking her out? Then, he gives an incoherent answer to a question she didn't even ask. She just shook her head and continued down the hall. She needed to get to the penthouse. Brenda and Jason decided to have a nice dinner as a family. She snorted. Family? What a joke. She wasn't even part of the family and yet they told her to come. What was happening to her relationships and her life?
