A different sort of love (part1)

He shook his head and blinked his eyes rapidly as if coming out of a deep trans and whispered "The......the Salem......Salem Witch trials?"

At this my own eyes grew wide, his voice was deeper than I thought it would be but light enough to tell that he wasn't a tough, athletic guy. I smiled at this and headed to the front of the classroom to tell Mrs.Elliott what we had decided on. I was about to tell her when she pulled me aside from the other students and said "Alina thank you so much for partnering up with Adam, he's new and I don't want him to feel out casted and-"

I interrupted her "I know Mrs.Elliott remember I transferred into this school last year for my freshman year. I wasn't always as a Robin." (a Robin is our schools mascot) At this she looked surprised and smiled a soft kind smile.

She told me to go back and talk with Adam after I told her what our project was. Me and Adam talked for almost the whole hour about what we should put in our project until the question that had been bugging me the whole class time had to come out. "Why did you draw that picture of me?" I looked him right in the eyes trying not to look as if it angered me.

He sighed and looked down "I....like to draw.....people. It's challenging and an artist needs challenge" after he said this he looked up at me with a sympathetic look. His response surprised me seeing as how most the guys at this school would have said something like 'cause your hot babe' or 'so I can practice my moooooovvveees' so I said the only nice thing I could think of "Well I thought it looked great." I gave him the biggest gin I thought possible. He was about to say something when classes ended.

When the bell rang a got my stuffed and met up with Christa, Kently, and of course Taylor in the hall. I told them about the picture and Christa reacted like a Christa would "OH.....THAT IS SOOOO CUTE! AND HE ADMITTED TO DRAWING IT AND EVERYTHING?! THAT'S SO CUTE!" I rolled my eyes and Kently laughed.

"If you ask me that's kind of creepy, he sees you for two classes and draws you perfectly. I mean he didn't even know your name." Kently said putting her logic to "good use" as always.

"Yeah, but that's WHY ITS SO CUTE AND ROMANTIC." Christa said looking to the ceiling with big shine eyes.

I laughed "I don't know it didn't seem creepy or "ROMANTIC" as you guy put it. It just felt......innocent."

"Well either way I'll call in a few favors I have around the school to see what people know about him. I wouldn't want you to get hurt by some weird stalker." Taylor said before walking away.

"That is the reason I love that boy right there" said Christa watching him walk away. I looked at Kently and she looked at me and we both laughed. We walked to third hour -which we all had together- which was one of our elective classes creative writing. Which differences its self from English because we don't really learn anything except how to express ourselves through writing. Though Christa and Kently were much better at writing than me I did enjoyed it. Our teacher for this class was Mr.Christopher, he was a funny guy but when people (boys) in our class got too hyped up her could get serious. He was a young teacher, this is only his third year of teaching. He had black hair that he slicked back and had dark blue eyes. Today he wore a burgundy button up and black slacks with dress shoes to mach.

When everyone was in their sets (we were all in the second row) he gave us our assignment "I want you all to write a short story on you wildest dreams. It could be about you in a rock band or you being a super hero. Anything school appropriate goes. Any questions?" he paused "Non...oka-"

He was almost done with his sentence when someone broke in, a voice I hadn't heard before "You said anything goes, so are class mates fair range to?" it belonged to one of the twins, it was Jordan.

Mr.Christopher gave him a weird look and answered his question "Yes if it involves the topic and school appropriate, I don't see why not. But here's a hint if you do include a class mate, weather in this class or not, tell them first we wouldn't want anyone to get blindsided now would we."

He gave a big smile and that was it. We all started on our stories, well all except me. I had no idea what to write, I didn't have any wild dreams just dreams. Plain, old, and simple dreams. I didn't dream of becoming a shape shifter like Christa or being in a rock band touring the world on bass like Kently or even dream of going into the professional athletic scene like Taylor. I must have started my paper ten times over in fifteen minutes. I tried to write about me going into professional draw, writing books for a living, heck I even tried the whole super hero bit, but none felt right. I finally decided that I would sleep on it and made my self laugh because of the irony. The bell rang shortly after I'd given up, it was a sweet relief after hearing only silence and pencils on paper for an hour. I got up from my desk and turned around. I waited till everyone emptied the room and seeing the only three people that were there were Jordan, Lucas, and Adam.

I took a deep breath and spoke " So I don't know if any of you have 'friends' yet so if you want you can sit with me and my friends during lunch if you want. Okay?"

They all stared at me with eyes that said 'what' . But I took it as an 'okay thanks'. I smiled and started to go out the door, but after I got half way I remembered I had forgotten my books. I walked back feeling stupid. Adam (who was sitting next to the door) was gone when I turned around. I picked up my book and of course because of my luck today I dropped it under my desk. I bent down to get it, but when I went to grab it there was already a hand on it. I looked up and to my surprise it was Lucas.

He looked up and smiled at me, I looked down and blushed "Thanks" I said taking the book from his out stretched hand. "So will you and your brother be joining us at our table today?"

When I looked back at him he had a look of shock on his eyes. Then he spoke not answering my question by a long shot "You have REALLY PRETTY EYES." and that was it he just kept staring after that.

I got up and walked out of the classroom. I decided not to tell Christa or Kently about what had just happened, not wanting Lucas to feel embarrassed or anything because if he joined us for lunch it would get brought up believe me it would. I got to the lunch room and searched for Christa and Kently. I found them at a back table in the corner. Kently had already gotten my lunch for me seeing as how I was always late for lunch. I gave her the money for it and took my seat. I told them about my invitation to the boys and waited for their reaction. Christa answered it with a question "Do you like one of them?! Do you like all of them?! Any of them?! Is it Adam?! Cause if it is I called it!!" and Kently responded like I imaged, "Okay.....that's nice but why?"

"Um...I don't know if I like ANY of them, and you were betting on which one I would like?! Also I did it because it was nice."

Kently got this big fake shock look on her face and said in a sarcastic voice "You did it to be NICE, I didn't think that was possible."

Everyone laughed but me, and I was about to tell her one of my many 'witty' come back but didn't get the chance to cause someone interrupted me.

"So is there still a seat left here?"
