Chapter 2
It was basically lunch time, so far, it's been like three hours since Lightning had witnessed the greatest sight of all time. Just so curvaceous, just tantalizing, and pretty much the perfect specimen of woman. Yep, it was none other than Anne Maria. Lightning just spent the whole entire day just thinking about her. Even in Algebra class, Lightning kept on daydreaming. In Health class, daydreaming. Heck, even in web-design class, daydreaming! What is the only thing that must've got his attention coming from Anne Maria herself. Could it been the way he walked with that strut of hers? Basically. Maybe it was because of that raspberry perfume she wore. He was getting warmer. Or perhaps it was just her curvaceous beauty that he found interesting? That was maybe it! He must hit the bulls-eye!
That little puppy-love obsession kept on going at lunch time when Lightning, with two tasty hot dogs and fries and hands, was busy staring and drifting off into space. Mainly it was because Lightning was staring right at Anne Maria from very far away as she was standing in a line waiting to get her food. So far, her first day was going really okay. She started bonding very quickly with a group of friends mostly made of girls. Of course, Anne Maria was busy talking to both Dawn, Gwen and Courtney and how quickly they really gotten along with each other. Dawn was pretty much a moonchild with just beautiful blonde hair that felt so smooth you wish you were feeling a combination of a cloud and whipped cream and Gwen had fit the part of a goth outcast. She looked pretty much like a loner, but she made good company nonetheless. Not to mention, that Courtney looked a little prissy and a little bossy when it came to being a C.I.T.
But Lightning didn't care about those girls. The only thing Lightning was fixated on was the luscious and curvaceous Anne Maria. He kept on staring like a dog just drooling. That was until Scott and Duncan noticed him like this.
"Getting laid in dreamland again?" Scott smirked at him.
"Wha-?" Lightning said right to Scott as he just shook it off instantly, "That's none of your business. Lightning just saw a fly. I think they're outta sha-control."
"Really? Are you sure? Because that's the same look you get when you stare at someone without anyone having to snap you out of your little wet dream." Duncan snickered a bit as he sat right next to Lightning.
"I'm sha-serious, man! Lightning just saw a huge ass bug! Can we just drop it?" Lightning replied as he wished for Scott and Duncan to quit bringing it up. "Lightning just wants to eat and drink so that he can get some fuel on the inside. That way Lightning can strike down on all the other losers at Football practice today. They can't hold a candle to Sha-Lightning!"
"I'll drink to that!" Duncan replied as he held up his Coke bottle.
"Me too." Scott smiled as well as the three men both toasted.
Meanwhile, right across the line, both Anne Maria was feeling a little weary a little bit, like she was gonna pass out. But then, she only realized why she was feeling a bit woozy. There was a big fatman right in front of Anne Maria. It was pretty much Owen, knowing that he really forgot to shower since he first came to school. Dawn noticed this first-hand.
"Ack! Why in the heck does he smell like that? He smells like a godawful garbage truck with frikkin' steroids!" Anne Maria replied to the C.I.T.
"That bad?" Courtney replied as she saw Anne Maria nod, "No problem! I can handle this!"
With a plan up her sleeve, Gwen brought out a Snickers candy bar and just started to wrap it nicely and gently. And without any state of conscience, Gwen rolled the candy bar far away so that Owen finally saw it with his own eyes.
"Is that... Snickers?" Owen said as he was captivated by the flying Snickers. So he set off running, which made him lose his place in line, "Oh oh, come to dada!"
Seeing Owen lose his place in line felt soooo much worth it to Anne Maria, who felt relieved that she didn't have to smell Owen anymore. And thank goodness for that! The line finally moved up to where both Anne Maria, Dawn and Gwen finally went to the food court aisle, thinking of what to eat. Man, look at those delectable treats Anne Maria had been eyeing. Of course, Anne Maria always had such a sweet-tooth. Those desserts looked very tasty and very tangy! Anne Maria felt like she was totally in a sugar-filled heaven!
"Mmmmmm... those look tasty. What do you prefer?" Anne Maria replied right to Dawn as she was busy picking a salad.
"Ohhhh, I'm not sure if you wanna choose those. Those add in way to much sugar and can cause the slightest rise of sugar-infested diabetics around Canada. So for my sakes, I wouldn't wanna recommend it." Dawn smiled as she just passed on the offer. Anne Maria on the other hand just decided to screw it and get two very tasty key lime pies with a nice foam cup of Powerade. $4.99 was the entire cost. So the rest of the girls were finding a very good table to sit in until Anne Maria suddenly saw Lightning far away.
Holy crap, what was Anne Maria just thinking about right now? I mean, Lightning just felt so much handsome and yet his tough persona was the only thing that made the butterflies in her stomach flutter. He was always bragging to Scott and Duncan about his greatness in the football field. But yet, Anne Maria never even saw his bully side. She just smiled and sighed deep inside right at the strongman far away when she suddenly was cut off by Gwen's voice.
"Hey, Anne Maria." Gwen spoke out to her as she was still in her daydreaming state. Knowing that the Jersey chick didn't listen, Courtney shouted again, "Anne Maria!"
"Huh, what?" Anne Maria replied right over to Courtney.
"I got us a seat! Come join us!" Courtney exclaimed as Anne Maria started shaking thoughts of Lightning off for now.
"Oh, okay..." Anne Maria responded as he tightened her earrings and joined both Courtney and Dawn at the girls' table.
Meanwhile, Lightning was still bragging like always to Scott and Duncan who were feeling a bit tired.
"Okay, when Lightning sees his opponent, he's gonna take off like a rocket and minutes later, I'm gonna blow up in his sha-face!" Lightning exclaimed as if what he was gonna do in football practice, before he was suddenly cut off by the school's main nerd, Harold.
"Hey, guys! GOSH!" Harold exclaimed a bit nasally.
"Hey, Harold..." Both Scott and Duncan replied tiredlessly.
"Would you like to build up support for my upcoming campaign coming this November?" Harold smiled as he suddenly put a campaign button on Lightning that said 'Vote Harold McGrady V. GOSH'. Lightning was a bit annoyed by this, "I'm gonna be President of the student council. I'm gonna wipe Courtney's ass all over the floor!"
"Ew, dude... why in the hell would you wanna do that? That's a bit disturbing!" Duncan exclaimed as he cringed with a laugh.
"Don't laugh! I intend to do it in the campaign trail with Noah as my campaign manager!" Harold exclaimed as he gestured over to Noah who was busy chowing down on chili fries.
"I'm not associated with him." Noah said right to Lightning's entourage.
"Build support, huh?" Lightning replied as he put his hand on Harold's shoulder, "Lightning thought of an interesting sha-way to build you some support?"
"You do?" Harold smiled onto him.
"Yep! Scott, Duncan?" Lightning said to the two guys as they both grabbed Harold lightly. Lightning on the other hand, grabbed a magic marker from his pockets and began to write on Harold's face as the nerd was feeling some sort of major wedgie. The words 'Suck it' was now displayed all over Harold's face, not knowing until right now that he was humiliated.
"I'm certain that means yes, then. Thanks for your support..." Harold said with a bit of an embarrassed scowl as he slowly began to walk away.
"It's no sha-problem with us. Even Lightning gives losers a break." Lightning said with a bit of nonsense as he both gave Scott and Duncan a high-five.
Meanwhile, back at the girls table, Dawn had seemed to notice Anne Maria just still blushing.
"I never knew you blush every time you eat." Dawn said right to the Jersey girl.
"So what? It ain't a problem with ya, isn't it?" Anne Maria said to the moonchild as she was minding his business.
"No, I always sense something of what they're feeling." Dawn smiled reassuringly.
"What's ya point?" Anne Maria said as she chewed down a piece of key lime pie.
"For example, you're feeling a bit red in your heart." Dawn said once again, "Red in my heart is the color of love. So that must mean you really have feelings for somebody."
"You can't be serious..." Anne Maria said with a little scowl.
"I guess maybe that must be the reason you're drifting off space for some reason. Were you looking at somebody?" Gwen said as she wanted Anne Maria to blab it out.
"I was so not looking at somebody!" Anne Maria exclaimed to the goth girl.
"Admit it, Anne Maria. You have a crush on somebody, is it? I knew in these several hours that we known each other, you would pounce on somebody so quickly. You dog!" Gwen exclaimed as she sipped on her soda.
"So untrue. I was busy squashing a bug with my left eye and I wanted to suffocate it." Anne Maria said as she secretly lied to both Gwen and Dawn who were smiling right at her, not believing what Anne Maria said. So knowing that they wanted to keep bringing it up, Anne Maria let out a sigh, "Okay, fine. I maybe have a 'little' crush on somebody..."
"Little, hmm?" Taunted Gwen, as she noticed Anne Maria looking right at Lightning. The jersey girl then leaned in scoffing with a whisper "Never tell anyone."
"Okay, yes, I won't tell!" Gwen promised as her grin grew bigger as she was finally going to find out Anne Maria's crush.
"It's that handsome jock," Started Anne Maria as Gwen looked around, scanning all the jocks, but only to growlangrily upon seeing.. "Lightning."
Hearing this from Anne Maria, Dawn and Gwen let out a gasp.
"What?" Spluttered Courtney as she got back into the conversation as she quickly sat down after getting some refreshments. She then looked right at Lightning who was gobbling down a can of Coke and soon faltered., "You cannot be serious! He's so..."
"He's just so him and dumb and so Sha-nnoying." Gwen said as Anne Maria groaned, "And not to mention a bully! Okay Anne, who is your real crush?"
"Its him," Anne Maria replied and explained as she was pointing right to Lightning. She just drooled from the outside, while Courtney and Gwen glanced at each other, "And besides, he's nice to me."
"It's so he can kiss you." They both cried as Dawn looked utterly confused, "It's true."
Hearing this lie coming from Courtney, Anne Maria just shook her head.
"No, he's not like that! I'm begging you." Anne Maria replied as she got up and started to walk towards Lightning's table with Scott and Duncan wolf whistling as she walked but Lightning glared at them. Anne Maria still had no idea why she liked Lightning? Was it because of his luscious abs? Or his brown cute eyes? Yeah, it was definitely those things. But it wasn't meant to last though as Anne Maria gasped, just quickly snapping herself out of her day-dream as she looked at Lightning.
Not to mention that Beth, another nerd of the school, walked right up to Lightning, just blushing and giggling like a school-girl. Seeing this, Anne Maria secretly wiped the drool off her face.
"Would you like to go out later?" Beth replied to Lightning, who looked right at Anne Maria and smirked. The jock soon nodded as everyone gasped in shock. Suddenly, Beth had skipped away to her table, which made Anne Maria just madder than an angry Jersey bull. but before she did, Anne Maria suddenly snarled in her ear.
Meanwhile back at History class, Anne Maria looked right at Beth in a disgusting state in mine, knowing that she was busy watching Lightning and Beth pass notes to each other when the teacher wasn't even looking one bit. It looked very disgusting to say the least. So as an insult to injury, Anne Maria felt a little annoyed knowing that her crush was hanging out with someone so ugly!
That was when Anne Maria formulated a plan to get Beth right out of the picture. Knowing that she hadn't listened at all in the History lesson, Anne Maria just whispered right into Beth's face.
"I'll give you a few tips on dating." She said bitterly, as the lessons kept on passing over and over again. Having the teacher hear this, he suddenly turned to Anne Maria.
"Anne Maria?" The teacher said right to her as the Jersey girl suddenly jumped.
"Who is Henry VII?" Anne Maria shouted and blinked in surprise as her teacher sighed. Inresponse, the teacher looked up, just paling in shock.
"Lightning and Beth, you two will be staying with Anne Maria and me after school, in detention!" The teacher spoke sternly to the pair as Anne Maria giggled, knowing this only worked to her advantage.
As soon as the History lesson ended, Ann Maria, Lightning and Beth stayed in their seats in detention as the Jersey chick got up and sat near Lightning, hearing what he was whispered to Beth.
"Let's get outta here." Lightning whispered right to Beth, who looked very shocked but nodded. Just like spies, the two climbed right through the window as Anne Maria followed. Lightning then spoke right to Beth once again.
"Meet me in 20 minutes." Muttered Lightning as he ran to his house, which forced Courtney and Dawn to see Anne Maria spying on Lightning and Beth, as they walked towards her.
"You really like him, don't you?" Courtney sighed, "I suppose you can but when it ends in heartbreak remember, I'm always right."
Anne Maria was being suddenly pestered by an excited Beth, who smiled at an incredible force, which forced the Jersey babe to look down at her.
"Yes?" Said Anne Maria.
"Come on, you need to give me tips and a makeover at you're house." A loud yell was heard, mainly from Beth, as Courtney and Dawn glanced at Anne Maria.
"We'll go too." They sighed depressingly.
Soon they arrived at Anne Maria's home, Courtney, Beth and Dawn were in the living room as Anne Maria rushed after them.
"Aren't you thirsty?" asked Anne Maria as she gently shoved Dawn and Courtney into the kitchen, before turned to Beth, as she simply whacked her in the face leading to Beth entering an unconscious state. Anne Maria then opened a storage room and dragged Beth's body into it, before locking it from the outside.
As Courtney and Dawn walked to Anne Maria, she suddenly blurted out, "Beth went home."
The two girls who simple knew where Beth was looked very suspicious as Ann Maria gave a war cry, just whacking the two girls as they soon became unconscious and were dragged into the storage room.
Anne Maria then smiled, as she dusted her hands and got into a car, therefore going to the restaurant which Beth had blabbed about. She knew the date was there as Anne Maria stepped into the hospital, seeing a table labeled Lightning and Beth. Somehow, Anne Maria turned up one minute late and Lightning was nowhere to be seen. Really seeing this as an insult to injury, Anne Maria just growled angrily and stepped out of the restaurant.
Courtney was right about Lightning. Anne Maria would never talk to him again.
However, after Anne Maria had left, Lightning had finally come back as he sipped his shake and sat down.
"Still not Sha-here, Damn, how do I win this- Sha bet, dating an ugly girl." Lightning grumbled a bit moodily.
Anne Maria arrived home feeling a sense of anger and disappointment, as Gwen came over soon after, only to hear voices coming from the storage room. Feeling out of panic that Gwen finally found out, Anne Maria hit Gwen over the back head and shoved her into the room, but the door locked with Anne Maria inside. What a godawful mistake she made.
Beth looked annoyed that Anne Maria would do something like this. And in response, she pounced on Anne Maria and the two started to fight. Dawn tried to resolve the situation while Courtney just cheered for Anne Maria.
"This is what boys do." Courtney muttered right to both Dawn and Gwen as Beth and Anne Maria spent the entire night fighting their asses off.
Hmmmmm... a love triangle between Lightning, Anne Maria and Beth? Sounds very interesting. What will happen in the next chapter, honestly?
Meanwhile, read and review, my science bitches!
