Chapter 15♔ Stalking
Lucas Summer
♚♔♚♔♚♔♚♔♚♔♚♔♚♔
"Can you guys come over?" I said over the phone to Gerard, Zach, Daimon and Hayden.
You probably do not know Gerard, he is one of my best buds too but he did not come to the ball even though he is also going to switch schools, like me.
"K can." Stupid Zach and 'K', I have a feeling that is his favourite word.
"Um...sure." Gerard can be shy sometimes.
Key word: sometimes.
"I have to ask Jade." That was Daimon, since he and Jade are dating he has to ask her for permission for everything first.
"No need my man, the girls are having a sleepover at Gale's." Hayden informed him. "I'm coming too."
"See you guys at 1pm." Before they could reply, I hung up and looked at my watch.
12.31pm
I jogged up the stairs and into my room, closing the door. I stripped out of my running sweatpants and grey goodie. I just came back from my morning jog and I was sweating very much.
I got into the bathroom, locking the door, I switched on the heater and showered.
Sapphire. That's the only thing I think about now. I laughed at my idoticness. Aren't I the biggest playboy in my old school? Why do I keep on thinking of her. Sapphire. I just met her. Do I like her? She is like a witch. And I'm in her control. Sorcière.
♚♔♚♔♚♔
I unlocked the door of the bathroom, a towel around my waist, to find four idoits sitting on my clean bed.
"What the fuck are you idiots doing here?" To be honest I actually was not surprised. They did this type of shit all the time.
"You invited us here." Daimon replied in a bored tone while looking through my DVDs.
"Besides it is already past 1." Hayden reasoned, switching channels every second. I really feel like she's controlling me. Now I can't even keep track of time.
"You invited us here, so what are we going to do now?" Zach said as Gerard laid down on my bed, his eyes slowly closing.
"Hey, Gale said she was going to the mall." Hayden said.
"So?" I rolled my eyes, what does he want to do now?
"She is going with her best friends....including Sapphire." As soon as he said her name, my face turned beet red.
"Wait, does Lucas have a crush?!" Gerard shouted, he knows that I never liked a girl before so it's kind of big news...
"No..." I mumbled, taking out some clothes from my wardrobe.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh! He's lying! He likes her!" Zach shouted too.
"He likes her! He likes her! He likes her! He likes her! He likes her! He likes-" They chanted but were cut off by me slamming the bathroom door in their stupid faces. I heard them from the other side of the door still laughing.
I put on my grey turtleneck and blue jeans. I unlocked the bathroom door and got out of my bedroom.
"Bitch! What took you so long?" Zach shouted from the bottom of the stairs when I was about to go down.
"Just a second," when I reached the bottom I walked to the door behind Hayden. "Dude, where are we going?"
"You wanted to stalk Sapphire so I asked Gale where they we're going. They are going to Rosewood Mall to do shopping." He shrugged.
"I did not say that I wanted to stalk her." I muttered. "It is your stupid ideas."
"Whatever buddy, we all know you....LIKE HER!" Gerard shouted, laughing.
"Can you idiots shut up?" I growled, walking into the lift with my eyebrows furrowed.
♚♔♚♔♚♔
"Are we seriously doing this?" I questioned, getting out of Hayden's Jeep. Yup, he had a jeep.
"We're already here, might as well do it." Daimon muttered, walking in front of us.
"Ummmmmmm. Gale said they are in their favourite boutique on the first floor." Hayden said, staring and typing at his phone.
"Well, do you know what boutique they are in?" Gerard said impatiently, tapping his foot on the ground.
"I think the shop is.....Belle Femme." He replied, still typing on his phone.
I burst into laughter. "Do you know what that means?" I asked still laughing.
"No." Daimon said blankly. "And I do not care."
"It means," I continued laughing. "Beautiful Lady! So, do really want to go in there?"
"Since when did you understand Spanish?" Zach grumbled.
"Are you stupid?" I said, straightening up. " It is French you idiot. I take French as one of my subjects, plus my mom is French."
"Then we will just stay outside." Gerard stated. "Unless you want to go inside a women's boutique."
"Are we really doing this?" I asked again as I scratched the back of my head, messing up my already messy hair.
"Yup." Hayden said popping the 'p' and walking in the shopping mall.
As I followed him, a blast of cold air hit my face. Thank goodness for the air-conditioning. It's so hot this summer.
"Do you know where it is?" Zach asked.
"Um...no. So we will just walk around until we find it." Hayden shrugged.
"Are you guys stupid?" Daimon smacked the back of Hayden's head. "I can see it. It is right there." Daimon pointed to a bright coloured shop opposite KFC.
"Well, if you want to stalk her we could just hang out in KFC, it is just opposite the boutique." Gerard started walking to KFC and we followed after him.
We took the seats nearest to the exit.
"But it's SUMMER!" We heard someone shout, making us flinch but Hayden smirked and chuckled.
"That," he said. "was Gale. I could recognise that annoying voice anywhere."
"You just called your girlfriend's voice annoying." Daimon pointed out.
"Don't tell her. She is going to kill me of she finds out." Hayden pleaded. "Here you can have my fries." He pushed it to Daimon's plate.
"How long do you think they are going to take?" Zach said, annoyed.
"Girls take a looooooong time to shop." Gerard replied.
□■□■□■□■□■
After forever, they finally came out. I could easily recognise her by her golden blonde hair, I also noticed that she has big chocolate brown eyes that seemed to shine. I smiled at her sense of fashion. She was not the girly or slutty type who wears really short skirts or shorts and shows off their body. Instead she's the type who wears jeans all the time. And I find it absolutely cute.
"Ewwwww." Zach gagged. "Can you stop? You are staring at her like a creepy pervert."
I blushed, "No! I am not staring at her!"
"Sure you weren't." He said sarcastically. "Where's the other girl?" He asked suddenly.
"Oh, so you like the other girl?" I smirked raising my eyebrow.
"No! I was just thinking why she did not kiss me." He wondered. "It is cause of that stupid dare Lyon gave me." Lyon is Zach's enemy. But they're step brothers.
"LET'S GO TO PIZZA HUT!" Again we heard a shout. We all looked to the direction of the noise and laughed. We could see Gale running up the escalator and the 4 of them walking.
"Is your girlfriend that noisy? How can you stand her?" Gerard complained, but I could see him staring at someone. I followed that direction of his gaze. He was looking at the girl with light brown hair. I smirked.
"Hey Gerard, are you a guy?" I asked.
"Yes." He answered, looking at the girl.
"Is your hair dark brown?" I continued.
"Yes." Again he answered.
"Do you have blue eyes?"
"Yes." His eyebrows were furrowed but he was still looking at the girl. It was clear he was irritated by me.
"Do you like that girl?" I chuckled.
"Yes." He answered again.
I burst out laughing, soon Hayden, Daimon and Zach joined me. It seems they we're listening to our conversation.
"I mean, NO!" He yelled, his face as red as a tomato.
"I t-think you are the WORST liar on earth!" Zach laughed, a hand clutching his stomach and the other, holding the pillar for support.
"Whatever!" Gerard yelled. "Do you want to follow them or not?!"
"Looks like he wants to stalk her." Daimon whispered to me, still grinning.
Gerard glared at us, obviously he heard us.
"Okay then we should g-go." Hayden said, containing his laughter.
□■□■□■□■□■
"Um, table for 5." I said to the waitress who was winking at Zach. Flirt.
"Hehehe, come right this way." She giggled placing her hand on Zach's arm and squeezing it as she led as through the table. We kept our heads down in fear of being spotted by the girls.
As soon as we were seated down, the waitress whispered something in Zach's ear and when she was walking away he smacked her butt. Disgusting.
"I lost my appetite." Hayden gagged, putting his hand over his mouth and clutching his stomach.
"So....I guess only two pizzas?" Zach asked.
"Make it three." Gerard said, raising up his hand for a waiter.
"Good thing it was not that waitress again." Daimon shook his head, after the waiter who took our order left.
We were just one table away from Sapphire's table. A couple was separating our tables. I stared at her smiling face. For a moment her eyes seemed golden in the light. She must have sensed that I was staring because she suddenly turned making me duck my head under the table.
Aftwr a few moments I looked up again to see four pairs of eyes staring at me. "She almost saw me!" I yelled in a hushed tone.
"That's cause you were staring at her you perv." Daimon smacked my head.
"Woohoo!" Gerard cheered. "The pizza is here!" Taking a slice of pepperoni pizza.
"Hey gimme some too!"
□■□■□■□■□■
"That was delicious." I burped, we had just finished three pizzas, large pizzas.
"Wait! Where did they go?" Gerard yelled in a whisper.
"Shit, I think they left." Daimon said.
"Wait! I got a text from Gale that she sent them home already. And she also said that she could...see us." Hayden sighed. "We suck at stalking people." He groaned.
"Wait she wants to talk to you." Hayden said as he handed me his phone.
I put the phone to my ear.
"Lucas? Is this you?" A voice asked.
"Uh, yeah. You're Gale?" I said into the phone.
"Yup. I'm Gale. And I want to get straight to the point. Sapphire obviously likes you and I know you are a playboy. Hurt her... then say goodbye to your little friend between your legs. Are we clear?" She threatened.
I gulped. "Yes ma'am." And she hung up. But who says you can't feel two things at once?
Actually the me inside was jumping in joy. Her words reapeted in my head. "Sapphire obviously likes you.""Obviously likes you.""likes you.""likes you.""likes you."
"Dude!" Zach smacked my forehead causing me lose my balance and bump into a girl. Her dyed blonde was in a pony tail and she had very light brown eyes. She looks kind of like Sapphire. But Sapphire's hair is prettier and Sapphire's eyes are more lively.
"Sorry!" She squeaked moving out of my way.
"Sorry." I apologized. "It's my fault." She turned her head and looked at me. "This idiot here pushed me." I pointed to Zach, oblivious to her staring at me.
"We have to go. Sorry." Gerard apologized quite rudely and pulled my arm, leading me outside the restaurant.
"Dude! What the hell is wrong with you? Saying you like Sapphire and then flirting with another girl?" Hayden smacked the back of my head thrice, making me glare at him.
"I was not flirting!" I retorted.
"You were."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Ye-"
"Can you dickheads shut up?" Daimon complained, slamming my head with Hayden's head.
"Ha! Dickheads." Gerard laughed.
"Can you just bring me home?" I asked, rubbing the spot on my head that hit Hayden's head.
"Which one?" Hayden asked, as we all walked back to his Jeep.
"Dad's place."
