Dabbing a little extra rouge onto her cheek, Brooke looked in the mirror. Perfect, now I can pretend to be something I not, like I do everyday. Lips curved in her provocative "Brooke" smile, that the guys of One Tree Hill High loved. Brooke looked in the mirror one last time, narrowed her eyes and walked away.
Brooke pulled her pink backpack higher on her shoulder and looked around her as she walked into the school. I can feel eyes on me, like someone's was watching me. Shivering, Brooke pulled her denim jacket tighter. Usually I don't mind having people look at me. Attention is normally what I crave. But today's different, after last night, I just want to be invisible…………..from whoever is following me.
"Hey Brooke, I got some new moves to show you at cheerleading practice after school today, okay?" Teresa stopped her in the hallway.
"Yeah sure." Brooke mumbled. What if he's here, watching me. Her eyes scanned the hallway, looking for him. The bell rang, signaling first period. Walking away from Teresa, Brooke wasn't looking where she was going and collided with someone. Her backpack dropped to the ground, falling open.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, can you……………… She trailed off as she looked into the most beautiful eyes, she'd ever seen. Mocha with flecks of hazel, Brooke was dazed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you there, I was looking for the main office. It's my first day and I…………. Are you okay?" the guy asked, staring into her eyes.
"Yeah, I'm fine, sorry, didn't get much sleep last night." Brooke stumbled over her words. She stuck out her hand, "My name is Brooke Davis, welcome to One Tree Hill High."
The guy took her hand and shook it strongly, "My name is Sebastian Malachite." He looked at his watch. "I really should be getting to the office."
"Right sorry, it's right down the hall, take a left at the library and you'll see it on your right." Brooke watched him walk away. Sighing, she fanned herself. Now there was a man…….who would keep any woman happy. Picking up her backpack, she walked to her locker. Having briefly forgotten her unpleasant episode from last night. Brooke opened her locker. What she saw, made her almost scream. She swallowed it at the last second. I don't want anyone knowing about this, how it's getting to me.
In her locker, was her yearbook picture, jabbed with pinholes and stained with a red residue. She touched it, it was nail polish. Could it possibly be a girl? Thinking back to last night, she remembered the strength behind the slap. No, it was definitely a guy, but who? Grabbing the picture, she buried it under some papers in the garbage. Slamming her locker, she went to her English class.
