Beast Inside||L.T.

Chapter 3~What She Wants Is What She Gets

Getting up for school is not my favorite part of the day but at least it was Friday. I got up and look around for my uniform in the mess I call a room. As I stood up and stretched my joints cracked. Does anyone else get that weird satisfaction when you crack your neck? I just feel way better after. I got dressed and put my make up lazily, by now this was second nature to me. I brushed my hair and pulled on my hoodie before grabbing my backpack and going to the bus stop.

Within a few minutes, the bus came and I got on. Same as every morning. I rested my head and looked out the window as all the trees blurred by. My eyes slowly slipped closed.

A little girl sobs in the corner of the classroom. A young man no more than 21 walks but to her and kneels in front of her. "Victoria? Why are you crying, sweetie?" He asks kindly.
"Brenda keeps calling my ugly. She says I have a baby face and chubby cheeks." The girl says between sobs. "Mr.Tomlinson am I ugly?" She asks softly.
"Oh, no Babygirl. You have a very pretty face. Plus you have a beautiful crying face." He wipes away her tears. "How about you spend lunch with me today? You can help me with my next lesson." He smiled and helped her up. "Torie? Get up! Why do you always sleep on the bus." A female voice that wasn't his came from his lips.

I jolted awake and banged my head on the glass. "Ow!"

"Once again asleep on the bus. Why are we friends again?" My best friend Mei says. "So tell me what this dream was about." She smiles as she sits next to me.

"This super annoying girl I know who's always waking me up. She's from Japan. She gets straight A's and is super pretty. She's a perfect example of a goodie-two-shoes. Her name is also Mei Misaki." I laugh softly.

"Hey! That's not nice Victoria Heart." She pouts. "So are you free after school? I have to babysit tonight and I don't want to be alone. So please come help me!" She asks me with puppy eyes.

"No, I'm not free tonight. I'm hanging out with someone." I frown.

"Who? Your not friends with anyone else." She asked curiously.

"He's an old friend. He moved away in like 5th grade." I make up a lie. I hate lying but I can't tell her the truth.

"Oh okay. I get it, you had friends before me." Mei moved here 2 years ago so she doesn't know about Mr.Tomlinson.

We get to school and we split up for our homerooms. The first 5 classes are boring as usual. Then we have lunch.

"Okay I brought a water, a Nutella and fluff sandwich, carrots, and a brownie," Mei says as she gets back from the bathroom. Mei and I share a lunch because school lunch is gross and I'm too lazy in the morning to make my own.

"The only Japanese person I know always brings the most American lunches on Friday. To be honest I like Mondays only because you bring rice balls in that fancy Japanese lunch box." I laugh before day dreaming about the food.

"Oh shut up! Your just lucky I share with you." She laughs and splits everything into neat half's and pours her self some water into the plastic cup that's always in her lunch. We shared the normal chit chat and slight gossip as we ate. When the bell rang for lunch to end we stood up and headed back upstairs together. We went into our last classes just like every day. At the end of the day, we met at Mei's locker before heading out. The same as every day. So much the same I almost got on the bus. I suddenly felt arms around my waist as I waited in line to get on.

"I'm sorry miss I can't let you get on that bus." I head Louis voice in my ear. I heard Mei giggle.

"You must be Torie's old friend. Bye Torie have fun!" She smiled before getting on to the bus.

Louis hugged me tightly and waved bye to Mei as the bus went by. "Louis? What are you doing?"

"I had to stop you from getting on the bus. Did you forget about our lonely hearts club meeting?" He pouts.

"Oh.. Yeah I forgot." I laugh and rub the back of my neck. "So let's get going." I smile and grab my backpack straps.

"Okay, then" he smiles and leads me to his car.

"Where are we going?" I ask and throw my bag into the back of the car.

"I thought we could go to that old movie theater then get some dinner. Sound good." He asked with a smile as he turned the car on.

"Sounds amazing now I don't have to cook dinner for myself." I laugh and return his smile.

We drive for a bit before he stops and gets out. He comes around and opens my door. "Do you care if we walk from here? Hey, we may even do some shopping."

"Of course I don't mind. I love looking in the store windows." I say as I get out. We walk down the street and he asks me random questions about my favorite color, if I have pets, and random stuff like that. We pass by a jewelry store and in the window is the prettiest locket I think I've ever seen. "Woah Louis look at that," I state and Point to it.

"Do you like it?" He asks softly and looks at it.

"No... I don't like it. I love it... I wish I had Money for it." I frown.

"Close your eyes." He says simply. I do so.

"Why am I doing this?" I ask.

"Because I said so." He laughs. I hear footsteps then nothing. 5 minutes later I feel someone place a box in my hand.

"Open your eyes." I hear Louis say so I do so.

"L-Louis is this the locket?" I ask slowly as I open it to see the neckless. "You didn't have to." I stare at it in awe.

"Yes, I did." He laughs and takes it out of the box and starts to put it on me. "What baby girl wants is what she gets."
