Darling

Chapter 4

Lola's POV

I rush into drama five minutes late and pretty spooked. My drama teacher is standing there with a look of humor plastered on her face. Before I could even tell her a random story as my excuse I trip over my own feet and land right on my face. Really Lola, can't I just make a normal appearance for once? I start to search on the ground for all of my belongings.

Before I could get to any of them I see hands picking them up for me. Big hands. Not too masculine, but enough. They look like hands a painter would paint, hands that strum gently on a guitar, hands that look so perfect to rub my lips against...

"Hi! I'm Joey!", the boy says with a huge grin stretched ear to ear. I look up at his face and all of the sudden the nervous jitters come back, but not like the ones I had this morning. They were different. These were like little tiny shock waves coursing through my body. Traveling all over, to my stomach, to my fingertips, to my lips... Lips that yearn a touch of his. Then I realized he had said something.

"Oh, hi. I'm Lola. Sorry, I can be a little slow at times, and a little clumsy." I say with redness creeping up onto my cheeks.

"No way. Were you named after the song Lola from the Kinks?" he's says with astonishment.

"Ummm... Ya! Actually, no one has ever guessed that. It's nice to see someone who has good taste."

"Me too and..."

"Are you two just going to stand there or can we get on with class", my drama teacher, Mrs. Thatch, said interrupting our conversation.

"Sorry Mrs. T", I pipe up.

"Anyways, let's get started".

No class outline for drama thankfully! All she said was we had to put on a big show at the end of the year. All we did today was introduce our selves, drama class style! First we had to introduce ourselves angrily, then sadly, then (my personal favorite) dramatically. But the last one we did in partners. We got to chose so I ran over to a friend of mine, Victoria, but before I could I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to see that boy Joey again. Immediately my breath quickens and I think my heart might explode in my chest. I don't know why I feel this way I just do.

"Hey, do you wanna be my partner?", he asked confidently.

"Of course, sounds like a game plan", a game plan, Really Lola? Are we still in 2nd grade? We walk over to a table and decide how we want to act this out. We have our minds set, and I think it will be hilarious. I've noticed that he is as much as a ham as I am. Mrs. T calls our names, and we head up to the front of the class.

"I, I, I'm Lola", I say dramatically frightened.

"My names, *dramatic pause*, Joey, Joey Woods." he says with a deep voice, a sexy deep voice I might add.

We go on stating our favorite colors, hobbies, and things of that sort. We keep up the silly dramatic dialogue as well. When we were done everyone clapped, and Joey and I were dying laughing. The bell went off right when everyone, including Joey and I, had settled down. Yes! Lunch, I can't wait to tell Cailee what happened. I pack up my things and rush out the door.
