I AM NOT A WERE!
Sophie
Chapter 3
It seemed like Cooper was outside my door, waiting for my mom to leave, for a while because almost as soon as my mom left, I heard a knock on the door.
I was expecting Derek to be at the door, but when I opened the door, it was Cooper. "Oh, it's you." I said flatly. I didn't have time to worry about him. My things are supposed to get here soon, and I would have to organize them, and then I would have to go to the front office, to get a schedule and everything. I would also have to have Derek show me inside the school building (it will open only in three days, just as everyone will be coming back and getting lockers), so I won't be late for class. I would have to get myself settled, and I would also have to write letters to everyone back home, and say my final good-bye until after high-school.
"Sophia!" I heard, and I snapped back into my senses. "Is everything alright?" Cooper asked, for once, his tone was sincere, but looking in his green eyes, I could see he was just pretending. "Just call me Sophie" I told him, and then "Wow." I said, just now looking at him, really looking at him.
He's tall, about 6 foot 2 I would guess, and his eyes are green, really green, like fresh grass. His hair is dark brown, like the wet dirt after the rain. He has high cheek bones, He also has very tempting lips, full and pink, but they're not the same as Derek's. They don't make me want to jump at him and kiss him right on the spot.
"Did you know you're really good-looking?" I asked him, and that made him blush. Yet, it didn't make my heart skip a beat like when I saw Derek blush. "Ye-yeah. Girls tell me that all the time, why?" He said, his cool mask slid off his face completely.
"No particular reason. I just realized it now though, so I said it out loud. Is that a problem?" I asked.
"No, it's not. Did you really realize just now?" He answered with a question again, and at that I started laughing.
I was laughing really loudly, and then, of all people, Derek walks into the room. I stopped laughing almost immediately.
"H-Hi Derek!" I said, trying to get myself together again. "What's up?" I ask, trying to be casual. What's wrong with me? Why can't I talk to him normally? I thought to myself, hoping the guys wouldn't notice my face is almost as red as my eyes.
"Nothing much. I heard someone laughing so I came to see who it was. What was so funny?" He said, with a light expression, like he doesn't care I was with Cooper, even though he did say I was hot.
"Haha, you see, I asked Cooper a question, and then he answered with a question, and then I answered him with a question, and then he answered me with a question, again, and then I started laughing. That's what happened." I said, trying to sound casual, but it sounds like I failed miserably.
'Haha, I guess it is funny. Listen, I'm kind of hungry do you want to join me for lunch or not yet?" He asked me, and when he stopped talking I realized I was staring at his lips again.
"Sure," I said, at the same time as Cooper, and then Derek and I realized he was still there.
"Oh, sorry Cooper," Derek said, "I only have enough for two people. We can eat together next time. I get my allowance next week again."
I blushed, realizing it means we're going to be just the two of us, like we're on a date.
"Let's go." I said, my voice lower than I remember it ever being, almost like a whisper. "Alright," Derek said, and we walked outside the "Black Building."
