A while later in the crowded auditorium of the old school…
When Lily saw the crowd of students that had gathered, she instantly became shy again, which was a relief for Elly. She even felt pity when she heard the students make fun at Lily again.
"Let them talk, you're so much better than that! The guys will be on stage any minute now, we have to make it to the front row. Let me tell you, these boys are gonna make you sweat!"
Lily rolled her eyes – Elly got on her nerves and the air in the auditorium got stuffier by the minute. She was here for the music, not because of the looks of the band members. Lily was no fool, she knew she would never date a rock star, or 'someone equally barbaric' like her mother would put it. She was too committed to her 'world' as much as she sometimes hated it.
But from the moment the members of 'Lincoln Hawk' entered the stage, Lily became a whole new person. Up until know, she had only encountered drowsy classical music, but these boys made her heart flutter and she went crazy like the rest of the audience. She was dancing wildly with Elly and didn't notice all the boys at school staring at her with delight. Nobody had thought it possible that this stiff young girl could be so vivacious and beautiful.
All the female students became envious and even more hateful towards her. Emily was sick of her boyfriend Bryan constantly staring at 'the slut's' breasts. No one was watching when she threw the bra with Lily's name on it onto the stage as a revenge. It landed right at the feet of the popular and attractive singer Rufus.
He raised his eyebrow and started thinking while his band mates finished their song. He normally hated intrusive little brats, but this time he had a vague feeling he could not explain. He only knew he had to act – for whatever reason.
A moment later, the girls all wanted an encore, especially screaming Lily, who could hardly be controlled by Elly. But some girls knew about Emmy's evil plan to make Lily look stupid and enjoyed the silence and the fact that Rufus was willing to play the game. Lily would surely leave school and not come back.
Emily smiled gleefully and Elly went pale as a ghost as she looked at her enemy's diabolic face. It got even worse when all the students started laughing and shouting as Rufus picked up the pink bra. Lily almost fainted when she recognized it. No one else here had a designer bra like that, and he, the stud muffin, as Lily had decided to call him for herself, he of all people was holding it.
"Who does this beauty belong to? Ah, there's a name on it. Lily? Lily Rhodes? Would you come to the stage?"
16
years old, Rufus was more the timid kind, whose wild side only showed
with a guitar in his hands. But tonight, something special was going
to happen, he knew this deep in his heart.
Lily, however, was
shaking inside and outside from this embarrassment. She didn't know
who had done this to her, but it would surely stay with her all her
life. Elly felt pity and wanted her friend to get away from school.
Emily, however, was not willing to miss her big moment and pointed
towards Lily, shouting loudly:
"There she is. That's the
Rhodes slut!"
While the crowd went crazy and Elly went over and
slapped Emily in the face, Lily didn't trust her ears when she
heard Rufus' warm, sexy voice.
"She doesn't look like a slut to me. Unlike most girls here. Come on Lily. I won't hurt you."
Lily turned around, tossing her long blonde hair, so Rufus was captured by this striking fairy, so different from the others. He just had to meet her. Lily, however, didn't know what to do. On the one hand, she felt flattered and had to admit that she had already fallen for this dark haired, attractive boy with the manly voice. On the other hand, she feared that he was just like the others, wanting to play a cruel joke. And even if he was sincere, flirting with him would make no sense. Her mother would surely do her best to destroy a romantic relationship.
What was she to do? She had to catch her breath when Rufus jumped off the stage and approached her...
