Chapter 2

The next day i went looking for him. It was hard to get the information I needed. He'd never let anything go about his house, place. I didn't know anything. I stood in the hall. Right before the office of the receptionist. It was a women. She looked very friendly. She had two little braids in her beautiful red hair. She was a little full-bodied. And she had a flowerdress on that ended at her knees. What can I do to extrude her?I asked myself. Before I could think of a plan, someone walked through her door. I couldn't hear the conversation. I was too far away. I tried to look through the window, I saw them talking. The women and the boy. Then, the women ran away with the boy. I thought that they would be away for a while, so I decided to break in. Slowly I walked to the door, and watched if nobody could see me. Good.There was nobody. The hall was totally empty. I opened the door, and closed him immediately. It worked.I was still perplexed of myself. For a few seconds i just stood there. I didn't know what to do. Think, think, think,I said to myself. I have to get his file.I started to look in de closet. I opened the stock. Hundreds of files. How the hell am i going to find it?I started to look at the files. It was alphabetical. Good. I just had to look at the name ''L''. Nothing, nothing, and nothing. Where was it? I had no courage anymore. I didn't knew his last name. I had never asked him that. Never mind. this is not going to work.But then I heard voices. Damn it!The officelady was back! What do I have to do?I was panicked. Totally panicked. I couldn't just face her. Think, think, think! Stay calm, stay calm.Those words haunted trough my head. Then the door opened. I didn't think anymore. I just dived under the desk. 'No, everything is fine, Mr Dumble,' I heard her say. 'The problem is solved. The boy is on the first aid. He has lost a lot of blood, but he is going to make it.' What happened?Every question I asked to myself, was clueless. I just had to find the answers, solve this. I tried to be quiet. Stop breathing. But it was harder then I thought. I heard footsteps. And then I heard the door closing. And I heard the lock. Click. It was locked. How was I going to break out? Did I just had to sit there waiting for her to come back? No, I had to do something, I said to myself.
I tried to keep calm, but it wasn't easy at all. I had messed up everything again! I sat on the floor for awhile, trying to find a solution. Ok, you have to look for a way to go out,I thought. But how! I had hit the desk which was in front of me. I wasn't a violent person at all, but I was too mad with myself.
I heard a noise, like the window was being opened. I checked it and I couldn't help screaming and walk back when I saw who was in the window. I stumbled with a chair and I fell.
I felt good, I wasn't hurt or something. But I was pretty worried because Lucas was in the window, and he saw me falling. Why was I so awkward? I preferred to don't know what he thought about me.
I supposed he would be worried or he would go when he realized it was me who was inside. But he was still in the window and, how incredible, he laughed out loud. Lucas was gorgeous there, bending over, and laughing in a way that I've never seen before. It was too much beauty.
Then I understood he was laughing of me. I stood up trying to keep my tone as much as it was possible. But my way to move just made him laugh harder.
"What is so funny for you, huh?" I asked, in a mad mood –I was angry.
He couldn't answer because of his laugh. Lucas tried to keep calm and he jumped from the window.
"Shall I ask if you're all right?" he said between laughs while he talked toward to me. "It's kind, I only ask you that." He suddenly stopped laughing to think on what he said. But –I don't know why –he decided to forget it and laugh again.
"Why are you here?" my voice was still mad.
"It's me who should ask why you are here. Don't I?" he replied. That made me shut up for awhile. He laughed again.
"It's not your business" I said. I walked toward the window, and I wanted to push him to make him clear that I was mad at him. But he walked a step back to let me go.
"It's not" he said. I was closer to the window "But seems if you had a problem."
I stopped walking and I turned myself to see him.
"It's not your business" I repeated.
I opened my mouth again to say something else, but he was suddenly holding my body with his arm and his hand was on my mouth. I couldn't talk –because of his hand, but for the surprise as well.
"Someone is coming" he whispered. "You're pretty lucky, Luna" he smiled, but his eyes were worried.
I didn't touch the floor anymore and I understood I was in his arms. He walked toward the window.
"Hey! Let me walk!" I protested.
"Shut up. I'm taking out your problem, girl".
He jumped through the window and we were on the sidewalk. As soon as we were out, he left me on the ground and he separated of me. There was nobody on the meadow of our school. It was empty. I could see the road close.
"Oh" I said. "Thank you". He had carried me out, so I was a bit grateful now. But I was still mad with him. He laughed of me!
"The bell rings in ten minutes" he commented.
I didn't know what to say. He was still far from me.
"What were you doing there? Alone?" he asked. Lucas stared at the green grass.
I fought against myself inside to choose an answer. Seconds passed.
"I do not understand you" I finally said.
He smiled a little, but his face was worried and sad.
"I don't understand myself, either".
"You were disappointed on the bathroom the other day. You said I will not see you anymore."
He sighed.
"I have got some questions…"
"I haven't got the answers" He didn't allow me to end my phrase.
"Sure" I said, and I turned back to go home. I could feel him behind me.
"I am very sorry. I haven't thought on what you are thinking about my mood and me. I just thought of myself… It's quiet unjust, though".
I stared at him again, and Lucas was watching me as well. I couldn't help adoring his face, his pale skin, his dark hair, his lips, his nose… his eyes. I opened my mouth automatically. He sighed.
"I'm leaving town" he said.
My heart beat too fast. I couldn't hear anymore, and I really needed help to stay up. I almost couldn't hear my name when Lucas called me. Why his words mean so much to me? Who is he? He's nobody, I don't know him.
"Who are you?" I was sure I had said it. But I couldn't hear it. I couldn't hear his reply.
'I asked, who are you?' I said again, but now i had an overtone in my voice.
'Lucas.' he said.
'That's not what I mean.' I sighed.
I collected all of my courage and asked:
'If you had a diary, what would you write in it?' It was a good question. I didn't doubt on that.
He sighed. 'I would write..' he started. 'I would write: I have met a girl. She is beautiful. Extraordinary. We talked. It was epic. But then the sun came up, and reality came back in. We can't be together. I am not normal...' He sighed and looked to the ground. 'I would write that I'm in love with her.'
My cheeks turned red. My eyes turned big. I didn't know how to act. For the umpteenth time. 'I.. I don..' I could not finish my sentence. Indeed, I could not finish any sentence. Then he laughed. 'What?' I asked concluded.
'Nothing.' he replied.
His smile. His eyes. There was something wrong. I saw his beautiful white teeth. But there was something strange. His canines turned very sharp. His eyes turned more red then I had ever seen them. His smile disappeared. I did not know what to do. But there was something that said: 'danger' in my head. I'd put my thoughts off.
Run.
I turned my body to the other side, and started running. I felt like I was trapped in one of those terrifying nightmares I always have. The one where you want to run. But you can't move faster. Those nightmares where the clock is ticking. Tick tock.Over and over. I had never ran so hard in my life. I didn't even knew I could run that fast. While I was running, I looked after me. Where is he?He left. That made me even run harder. I was in danger. Then I saw something flash in the trees. It looked like a really big fast bird. Wow.What was it? I tried to concentrate on the road. Shocked. He just stood there! How could he move so fast? I turned my body to the other side. I almost stitched in my own tongue. This was the limit. My body could not handle it anymore. I stopped. This is it,I thought.
'What do you want?' I screamed.
'Shhhtt.'he tried to calm me down. Why?
'Please, stay calm. I don't want to hurt you.'
