Immediately Julia's judgment proved true when heavy metal music blasted through the car. It wasn't that she didn't listen to this kind of music, but most popular guys loved this kind of music. She sighed and awkwardly shifted in the passenger seat, holding her folder and books just a bit tighter then she really needed to.
"After school I can take you back to the parking lot so you can take your car back. Or at least call a tow truck for help." The offer was kind. Julia felt almost awkward thinking someone like him would offer. She sighed, why was she being so judgmental? Sure, he looked to be the type she wanted to stand clear of, but was he really what she figured?
She wasn't going to take the risk. "No thanks," she murmured, carefully eyeing the images out her window and keeping her eyes from catching his curious gaze. "Thanks for the offer, but I'll just get a ride from my friend." The car seemed to grow immensely silent, even if his radio blasted throughout the windows.
"Sure," Nick said quietly in answer, "I mean, that makes sense, you don't really know me." Julia wasn't certain but the tone in his voice rang very much like disappointment. What did this guy want with her?
She could hold her eyes on the images outside of her familiar town no longer, the sound his voice arose curiosity. She caught his gaze only slightly and looked away, not wanting to find herself falling for him. She was never going to fall in love, it didn't exist. To Julia, love was just one big heartbreak in the end, so what's the point in even bothering?
Nick shifted quietly in the driver's seat when she looked away, and began to scan out the streets more then he was scanning her a moment before. His face held with hurt; it was drawn up in slight tension to hide away the emotion. His eyes which seemed to stand out against his dark features were steel, and never left the road as they road on. His dark brown hair was slightly long in the back with overgrown bangs that hung down just a bit over his eyes.
Julia sighed in protest against her mind, he was hot! There was just no denying it. Even she, the one who had turned down tons of guys due to protecting herself from being hurt in the end like her father, thought Nick was just completely hot and sexy. She shuddered and eventually pulled her eyes away from his figure. What was she thinking?? He probably went to parties, drank, smoked, and everything else. And, due to his incredibly great looks she assumed he must have a girlfriend.
"What grade are you in?" he asked, suddenly turning off his music and leaving the air with an uncomfortable silence. Julia was not expecting him to perk up so quickly and start a conversation.
"I'm a senior," Julia said confidently in reply, she was sure he would look up to her, because she had never seen him in any of her classes. Nick smiled then, sending a sharp wave of feeling through her to the sight. She shook it away.
"Wow, are you serious? That's amazing!" he shook his head in disbelief, while Julia almost felt pride pricking at her, she was older for sure. "You don't look like a senior though, I was thinking junior!"
"Well, I've heard that a lot," she said smiling despite herself. There was no way he'd be interested in her now, seeing she was obviously older then him.
"Me too, well, last year anyways. Are you new to this school?"
Julia glanced at him curiously; she had gone to Jefferson High all three years, from freshman to now senior year... It wasn't like the school was small, so why would he expect to have seen her before? "No, I've gone to that school since my freshman year." Nick seemed a bit confused over this, which only made Julia wonder more.
"I've never seen you in any of my classes," he commented, glancing at her slightly when he stopped at a red light. Julia grew speechless, he was a senior. But, why had she not seen him before? He didn't look like was new to this city, despite its largeness, so how could she not have seen him at least once before in one of her classes. Was he a ditcher? Julia gave a small sigh of relief to the thought that would explain everything.
"You're a senior?' she blurted out before she could hold herself back. Nick smiled at her and pushed the gas pedal when the light turned green, easily answering her question with that single glance. "Oh," she faltered, "I thought you were---I was sure you weren't a senior. I mean, for the same reason you were surprised. I have never seen you before."
"We do have a big school there is over four hundred seniors this year." He grinned, "It actually makes sense now that I think about it." Julia couldn't help but agree, she had forgotten that much.
Within the next five minutes Nick had found a parking spot in the parking lot and was climbing out of the car while Julia followed. It was strange walking toward her school walking next to Nick; she had always walked to school with her friend Cassie or by herself. Never with a–a guy!
"Here we go," Nick mumbled when they reached the flag pole in the front of the school. A bright yellow paper was taped to it, with last names and room numbers listed. "They changed it, usually B's are by themselves." Julia immediately stepped forward and looked on the paper curious as to what he meant and sighed heavily. Students with the last names that start with B and C were in the same class to pick up there schedules.
"Yeah, I guess were off to the same class."
Nick grinned slightly and gently tapped her on the shoulder. "Ready? The bell will be ringing any minute from now." Julia nodded and gripped her folder and strap of her purse tightly, following after him. Things were defiantly not going as planned.
A/N sorry if this chapter is short. I had a major writer's block and I can't seem to know where to go from here... oh well, I'll have an update as soon as I can.. plz review!
