I tried everything to get out of his grip but ,He wouldn't budge. He cupped my face and started kissing my neck ,I felt disgusted and I balled my hands into fists and was ready to use magic.
But ,I suddenly heard someone groan in pain. The guy that was on me was pulled and thrown on the floor. My eyes widened as I saw Lucas beating the shit out of the two wasted guys.
They were laying on the ground with blood all over their faces. I hated the sight of blood and I felt my lunch coming back up. So ,I just turned on my heels and walked away. Seconds later ,I heard footsteps from behind me but ,I knew that the wasted guys were already passed out and that it was most probably Lucas.
I kept walking anyways and didn't slow down my pace ,he managed to catch up to me and was now walking backwards as he was facing me.
"Don't I get a thank you?" he asked raising his eyebrows.
"I didn't ask for your help" I scoffed.
"Your welcome ,Princess" he said smirking.
"Please get out of my way ,I appreciate what you did back there but ,like I said before ,I didn't need your help" I spat and pushed past him.
"I just wanted to make sure that you're alright and that no one hurts you ,Princess" he said frowning his eyebrows.
"First of all ,you're not my personal bodyguard. Second of all ,I hate it when you call me princess. And I can defend myself because I am-" I quickly shut my mouth and my eyes slightly widened.
What the hell is wrong with me? I was just about to reveal my secret. It's his fault that he always drives me crazy. He gave me a confused look .
"It's nothing ,just forget what I said" I said and quickened my pace.
"Sure. Goodnight ,Laurie" he said.
After a couple of minutes I heard footsteps from behind me. I turned around scared shitless.
"Why are you following me? Are you stalking me?" I asked raising my eyebrows.
"What? Can't I walk in this street?" he said innocently with a slight smirk. I shook my head and kept walking.
I finally reached my house and Lucas was still walking behind me. I walked to my house and opened the door ,Lucas smiled at me and I just slammed the door in his face. I ran upstairs to my room and peeked out of my big window.
Lucas was still standing there and then walked back in the same direction we came from. Wait ,he doesn't live near here? I thought that's why he was walking behind me.
Suddenly realization came over me and I felt slightly flattered and happy but also guilty. He walked behind me to make sure that I was okay ,that just made me feel warm from the inside. But ,I felt guilty that I treated him the way that I did. He was just being nice and I was being my bitchy self.
The smile that I had on my face turned into a frown when I realized how much that I've changed. I didn't use to be bitchy or mean ,I used to be nice and always happy and hyper. I really did change.
I plopped on my bed and didn't bother to change my clothes. Aunt Emma called for me and told me that dinner was ready but ,I wasn't hungry. I've never been hungry ever since Justin disappeared ,my parents died and me moving to another city ,leaving my friends behind.
I drifted into a deep sleep wondering why was everything that's happening to me was happening. They do say that everything happens for a reason so ,what's that reason for everything that's happening to me?
********
Today at school it was pretty boring and nothing really happened. It was quite. Wait a sec? It never is quite. Where's Lucas? He didn't bother me today at all and I didn't see him all day...Why do you even care ,Laura? It's not like I like him or anything. Yeah...
I went back home and went straight upstairs to my room. I dropped my bag on the floor and plopped on my bed closing my eyes. Minutes later ,I was awoken by a noise. I looked around and didn't find anything so ,I thought that I was just hearing things. I fell back on the bed and closed my eyes once again.
Thump...Thump...Thump.
What the hell is that sound? I stood up and walked to the window. I opened it and looked around not really seeing anything or anyone .
"Right here" I heard a voice ,I screamed in fear and jumped slightly .
"Lucas? What are you doing here? On a tree?" I asked raising my eyebrows at him.
"I just came over to finish the project that we started a couple of days earlier" he said with a shrug.
"Ever heard of doors?" I asked as Lucas climbed my window and stepped inside of my room.
"It's much more fun this way" he said grinning at me.
"You know what's not fun? It's you with a broken neck or something?" I said shaking my head at his actions.
"I wouldn't have fell" he said smirking ,I just shook my head. Talking to Lucas or trying to convince him with something is like trying to persuade a child that unicorns does not exist.
He took off his leather jacket and threw it on my bed. Typical Lucas. He then walked to my desk and rested his two hands on it.
"So ,Where's the project?" he asked ,I walked to my desk and got the project out and then put it in front of him. I walked back to the window and looked out of it as Lucas was saying something that I didn't quite catch a thing from.
"Laura? Laura ,are you even listening?" I heard Lucas say as he grabbed my hands gently.
"Are you crying?" he asked with concern in his eyes as he caressed my cheeks.
"No ,My eyes are just forming water in the form of tears" I said sarcastically ,he rolled his eyes.
"Why are you crying?" he asked ,I'm just overwhelmed with everything that has happened and that's happening to me.
"Reasons" I said breaking the gaze.
"It obviously is" he said sarcastically while rolling his eyes.
We went back to our project and we finally finished it. Oh god ,I thought that I'll never get rid of it or Lucas. Now that we're done with this project ,I don't have to see him again. Just when I thought that everything is starting to get my way ,Aunt Emma comes crashing all my happiness down.
"Will you stay for dinner tonight ,Dear?" she asked Lucas right before he was about to leave.
"I don't think he can ,Aunt Emma. It's getting dark already" I said as I started pushing Lucas towards the door.
"Nonsense ,It's only six o'clock" she said waving her hand in the air.
"Yeah ,It's only six o'clock" Lucas said smirking as he crossed his arms.
"Come help prepare dinner ,Sweetheart" Emma said gesturing for Lucas to follow her.
I glared at him as he followed aunt Emma to the kitchen and he just grinned at me making me groan in frustration.
Dinner was boring...for me. The rest was just having the time of their lives while I was stabbing the chicken with my fork. I was burning holes into Lucas's head but ,he just ignored me and kept on talking with Emma and Robert. They were laughing and talking while I was just thinking of ways on how to murder Lucas.
I was cut off my bloody thoughts when Lucas said that he had to go. I grinned at the news and Aunt Emma just gave me the 'Show some respect' kind of look. I just ignored her ,Lucas thanked Emma and Robert for having him for dinner and then I had to walk him to the door. Cause Aunt Emma said so ,please note the sarcasm.
"Goodnight ,Princess" he said smiling as he walked out of the door.
"Don't call me that" I snapped.
"Whatever you say...Princess" he said smirking ,I groaned in frustration and slammed the door shut. This boy really does know how to get on my nerves and sadly he drives me crazy.
After Lucas left I went upstairs to my room and fell on my bed. I drifted into deep sleep as I was really tired. I was really mad at myself for always crying in front of Lucas. I sighed and decided that it would be better if I fall asleep and stop thinking about it.
The next morning ,I just took a quick shower ,brushed my teeth and threw my usual clothes on. Which are leather pants and a huge hoodie. I threw my hair in a messy bun and didn't bother to put any makeup on. I grabbed my shades and backpack and jogged down the stairs.
I grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl and said goodbye to Emma and Robert who were drinking coffee while eating some pancakes. I really stopped having a big appétit after everything that happened in my life.
I jogged to my Ferrari and hopped in it. I started the car and grinned at the sound of the engine roaring. I did say before that I drag race ,right? So ,it was logical for me to love cars especially race cars. I actually haven't had a race ever since I got here and I really wanted to have at least one race.
Me and Zander used to drag race together. I really do miss him and Riley ,I wish if I could see them soon. I sped down the road heading to the death hole or whatever you want to call.
I went to Skyler's as I was her ride to and from school. She turned on the radio to the usual kind of songs that she loves. By now ,I was over the type of music that she hears and stopped complaining as I found out that it was useless.
Me and Skyler got pretty close over those past weeks. We got closer that I got to the point of telling her some of my secrets but ,I never told her about me being a wizard and probably will never tell her. She's probably gonna freak out about it and I was afraid that it might slip her mouth.
Cause if you haven't noticed by now ,Skyler loves to talk a lot...A lot.
I parked the car in my usual spot ,grabbed my backpack and slung it on my shoulder. I locked the car after Skyler got out of it. We walked together towards the school ,we went our separate ways when we entered the school as we had different classes.
I walked to my first class which happens to be math ,Yay...Did you note the sarcasm? I sat on my usual chair at the back of the class and zoned out the second the teacher opened her mouth.
"Laura ,can you answer this equation?" she asked raising her eyebrows ,my head shot up and I looked at the equation on the board that was behind her. I really hated math and right now there's nothing that I hate more than this woman .
"I don't know" I said.
"And why's that?" she asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"Because I don't know?" I said more like asked while raising my eyebrows.
"I don't like your attitude young lady and I don't like you either zoning out every session" she said sternly .
"Well ,maybe if it wasn't so boring ,I wouldn't have zoned out" I said and quickly regretted that .
"Detention" was the only thing she said to make me say a bunch of not so lovely words under my breath.
I grabbed my backpack and walked out of the class as I saw the whole class whispering and snickering slightly. I flushed in embarrassment and headed to the detention class.
After I 'served' my detention ,I walked into the hallway heading to the cafeteria. Rachel was all over Lucas just as usual and sadly he wasn't stopping her. I felt kind of jealous to be honest. Wait ,what? Why would I be jealous? It's not like I like him or anything ,right? Right...
I walked to the cafeteria and stood in the line to get food. I spotted Skyler sitting at our usual table ,she waved at me and I gave her a small nod with a slight smile to tell her that I noticed where she was. It was finally my turn when three girls cut the line and stood in front of me ,taking my turn.
"Excuse me but that was my turn" I said raising my eyebrows at them.
"Sure ,Sweetie" Chloe said rolling her eyes.
"And?" I asked waiting for them to realize that they just took my turn that I've waited for ,for so long.
"And you're gonna be a good girl and wait till we take our food" Nicole said with a fake smile.
"And why would I do that?" I asked getting impatient by the second ,I really did have a short temper and it doesn't help that I'm a wizard.
"Be-cause ,we always get our food first" this time Rachel spoke.
"Well ,there's first times for everything" I said and stood in front of them.
"Get out of our way now ,bitch" Chloe said through gritted teeth.
"Or?" I challenged her raising my eyebrows. The next thing I know is Nicole pushing me making me stumble and fall on my butt. The whole cafeteria erupted in laughter and I felt angry instead of embarrassed.
I stood up and balled my hands into fists ,I clenched my jaw as my blood boiled. And suddenly today's special plate which was a Spanish soup was all over the three of them. They really are special...in their own way.
The whole cafeteria laughed even louder at this and the three poor girls groaned in frustration and turned on their heels just like chick flick movies. I know that I should probably be happy but ,I wasn't.
I ran out of the cafeteria with tears rolling down my cheeks and to the football's field. I sat on the ground and pulled my knees to my chest hugging them while my head was resting on my knees.
I started sobbing ,everything was just so overwhelming. I wasn't crying because of what those plastics did to me back there ,because trust me I couldn't care less about them.
Life was proving to me everyday that it really was meaningless. I lost everyone that I love ,they kept telling me to move on and that it'll be okay. But to me these are just plain lies. It will never be okay and I will never be able to move on even if I tried to.
It was official ,today was so not my day. And to sum it up ,Lucas showed up.
"Are you okay ,Laura?" he asked with his hand on my shoulder ,I shook my head.
Why was I being honest with him? Oh come on ,an idiot would've known that I wasn't okay. So ,why lie to him?
"I'm so sorry for what they did back there ,they really can act like bitches sometimes" he said as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder ,I moved my head up looking at him with raised eyebrows while giving him the 'Are you kidding me' look.
"Alright ,alright. All the time" he said as he put his hands up defensively. This made me giggle ,he really did look cute right now.
"I love it when you giggle" he suddenly blurted ,I blushed and looked away.
"You're so cute when you blush" he cooed ,I blushed even more if that was even possible.
I stood up and was about to head back to school when Lucas's voice stopped me "Where are you going?" he asked.
"Back to school?" I said raising my eyebrows.
"Don't you know that we have the rest of the day off?" he asked as if I was a crazy person ,which I assure you I'm not .
"And why is that? It's a typical Thursday" I said trying to get my point to him.
"Exactly ,we always ditch school on Thursdays. It's kind of a ditch day but not completely cause we come in the morning" he said nodding slightly.
"And what exactly do you do when you 'ditch school'?" I said making air quotations around the words 'ditch school' while raising my eyebrows questioningly at him.
"Why we go racing of course" he said smirking his billion dollars smirk...
I decided to publish this chapter seeing that I won't be able to publish any chapters this week. I have exams so , yeah...
I wanted to ask you guys a favor.
