Chapter 2- The Meeting
RING!
Finally, Lunch. My favorite time of day. I walked up to my locker and put my books away. Jayne slams her locker, which is right next to mine.
"Hey girl," I said to her.
"Hey, have you heard the news?" She frantically waved her arms in my face.
"No, what news?" I stopped her arms and turned to walked down the hall to our lunch spot.
"Only the biggest news in the history of our school. Lucas Lambent is coming here to finish his last two years of school. Our school. Apparently he's hosting the Artistic Contest for teens! And his dad is sponsoring the contest!" She shouted.
"That would explain why there's limos and screaming teenage girls with posters in the front of the school right now." Sure enough a long black limo pulled up with tinted windows. Everywhere the eye could see girls were running to stand waiting for Lucas to come out. "Yah, poor kid. He won't know what hit him-" My sentence was cut short because I rammed into a hard wall.
"Oh. I'm so sorry." A male voice came from above me. Correction, it wasn't a wall I ran into, it was a boy. Great. Just my luck. Another humiliating thing. "It's fine. I wasn't looking where I was going," I said as I tried to collect my book fast.
"Here. Let me." the stranger bent down and picked up my science book. He held out his hand for me to take. I looked at the hand for a second. He must have noticed my hesitation because he laughed and said, "It's just a hand." I took it and he pulled me up. Man, he's so strong!
I realized Jayne has been quiet this whole time. She's been standing there with her mouth open. Huh, I wonder why. I turned to look at the stranger and instantly know why. Standing before me is a gorgeous green-eyed, shaggy dirty blonde hair, muscular, six-foot tall Lucas Lambent. He's the son of millionaire artist, Steve Lambent. He's a model for the teen magazines, and an artist himself.
"You know it's not polite to stare." He smirked at me. That snapped me out of my daze.
"You know it's not polite to run into people." I countered back. He just laughed. God, his eyes are just so sexy. No, stop it Rena. Don't think these things.
"Well, the girls I bump into are usually all over me." I scoff. Gezz, the audacity of this guy. He thinks he's so cool doesn't he?
"Well, not everyone is the same brainwashed teenage fan-girl that you encounter. Anyways, aren't you supposed to be meeting your fans now? There are a ton of girls over there waiting for your pretty face to jump out of that limousine." Upon seeing the look on his face when I mentioned the girls I added, "Or are you just hiding from them? That's considered rude. I think you deserve to get trampled by a thousand girls."
He looked at me with a strange look in his eyes. "Wow, I've never met a girl like you before. You're something different. What's your name?" He handed me my book back.
"I'll take that as a compliment. My name's Rena, and that's Jayne over there." Pointing to a still dumbstruck best friend. Lucas took my right hand and kissed it lightly.
"Pleased to meet you, Rena," he glanced over at Jayne, "And you, too, Jayne." He then dropped my hand. "I must really be going. I'll see you around." He looked at me one last time then left.
"Wow. That was… Wow. Did you see the way he looked at you? Oh my, I think I see love in the air!" Jayne exclaimed.
"There is no love anywhere, Jayne. He's just a charmer. Making girls fall at his feet then leaving them in the dirt. Besides, he would never like a girl like me. Come on, I'm hungry. I want to eat."
"Dude, if that wasn't love, I don't know what is." She got this excited look on her face. "And he's going to be judging the contest. He'll get to see your artwork." She squealed.
I sighed. "Sometimes, its hard to believe you're my best friend."
"I know. Lets go eat." She laughed.
Thanks read & review. I promise to make the next chapters longer. Sorry they're so short. :)
