Chapter Four: Tour of the town
I couldn't help but worry as I followed Seth through town. We were currently looking in a cute little clothing store. Seth was holding an arm load of clothes that I was planning on trying on. I pulled out another pair of jeans and then set them on top of the rest.
"Ok, I'll try them on now." I told him, leading the way to the dressing room. He set the pile of clothes down on the chair in the dressing room then stepped out, waiting for me on a chair just outside the dressing room door. I shut the door, flipping the lock before quickly changing into a light grey dress that hit about two inches above my knee. I looked in the mirror and smiled. It looked amazing as it clung to my figure.
I stepped out of the closet, showing Seth the outfit. "You look beautiful." He said with a smile. I did a small spin then walked back into the little room.
It took at least half an hour to finish trying everything on. I had only decided on about fifteen items, not including the four pairs of shoes. Seth carried the clothes to the checkout and I carried the shoes. The girl smiled at me. "I'm guessing you belong with the Cullen family?" She assumed.
"Only recently. I'm Alexis Black." I told her. It felt odd to say my last name was Black but I knew it was something I would have to get used to.
"I thought so. You have the same good looks as the rest of that family." She smiled at me as she finished scanning my new items. I gave her the debit card that I had gotten only today.
I thanked her and Seth helped me bring my purchase out to the truck. Well, more of I helped Seth bring the stuff out. We looked around some more and I found a small heart shaped locket, deciding to get it for Kassie. I already had the perfect picture of the two of us together for it. I pulled the picture out of my old wallet and slid it into the small frame.
Seth and I decided to grab something for lunch just after noon. He took me to his favorite diner in Forks. We ordered and waited for our food. "So, what was it like growing up with them if you don't mind my asking?" Seth asked.
"It's fine. " I told him honestly. "It was nice. I was perfectly happy with my life actually. I mean, we moved around a lot but I didn't mind moving. I loved to travel and see new places. I never really suspected that they weren't my real parents or that they had taken me when I was a baby. I mostly got what I wanted and to me it seemed like any other normal childhood."
"So you were happy there?"
"Yep. I was a hundred percent happy. Well other than the unhappiness that being a klutz brings. I've always healed fast though so it wasn't ever a big deal."
"I guess it just seems weird to me that someone wouldn't have any idea that anything was wrong. But it seems that they gave you nothing to be curious about."
"Ya. It seems odd to me now but I mean, thinking you were kidnapped as a baby isn't something most people suspect." Our food came out and brought a smile to my face. It smelled amazing. I had always loved hamburgers. I took a bite and smiled bigger.
"Good huh?" Seth asked. I nodded, taking another bite. It didn't take me long to finish my food.
"So do you mind showing me around the school?" I asked.
"Nope. Lets go." He said, helping me up. He held the door open for me then opened the truck door for me and helped me in, shutting it after I was settled comfortably in the seat. He really was a true gentleman. The dad who had raised me was the only man I knew who was. Though I'd only actually lived in cities where you don't usually find many.
Seth drove to the school, parked and ran around to my side to open the door. "Thanks." I said, getting out.
"My pleasure."
I smiled and pulled my class schedule out of my bag, handing it to him. He looked it over a few times before handing it back to me. He led me to three classes before the bell rang. Seth was leading me though the crowd of people but it didn't take me long to lose him when I ran straight into someone, causing them to drop their books.
"I am so sorry." I apologized quickly. I bent down to help them pick up their books but ended up slamming my head against theirs. "I'm sorry." I said again as I grabbed a few books. I stood to find myself standing in front of a hot guy which brought a smile and slight blush to my face.I handed the books over and apologized again.
"It's ok. I don't mind having a beautiful girl run into me." He said with a wink.
"If you care about your safety you should. I'm a klutz." I told him smiling.
"I'll risk it for you." He smiled and took a small step closer. "I'm Luke." He said as he shifted his books to one arm and held a hand out.
"Alexis but you can call me Lexi. All my friends do." I told him, shaking his hand.
"So I guess that makes us friends then Lexi."
"I guess it does. "
"Well since we're friends do you want to go do something tomorrow after school?" I blushed a bit.
"Only if I can bring someone along with me."
"Not a boyfriend right?"
"Nope. I'm single. Just my little sister."
"Then I don't mind. If she's anything like you I like her already."
"You'll love her. Everyone does." I told him with a smile.
"Do you have a cell phone?" He asked.
I nodded and pulled it out of my bag, handing it to him. He took it and pressed some buttons then handed it back.
"Now you have my number. Mind if I get yours?"
"Nope."I said, holding out my hand. He placed his phone in my hand and I put my number in his contacts.
"Well I better go get to class. See you tomorrow." He said before taking off. Only a few second after Luke left Seth appeared by my side.
"Sorry. I kinda spaced out." He apologized.
"It's fine. I got to meet someone new."
"Who?"
"His name is Luke. Do you know him?"
"Lexi, everyone knows him. He's one of the most obsessed over guys in school."
"Cool. We're going out tomorrow." I said with a smile. Seth looked a bit sad but quickly covered it with a smile that didn't hit his eyes.
"Come on, lets finish your tour." He said, looping his arm though mine.
Hope you liked it. Hoping for comments and opinions on what shout come next. She has now met guy # 1 (Seth) and guy #2 (Luke) Now she just needs guy # 3
I am sorry that it took so long to get this chapter up, I've just been dealing with a lot of personal stuff the past few weeks. I'm going to try harder to get chapters up faster.
Anyway, let me know what you think.
