Busting For Trouble

Chap1 - Wrong arms, wrong time

Elijah Louis Braizér, a French boy, who just so happened to be popular in Hannahville High, along with his best friend-- Tao Xie, a player known for his various exes and charms.

On the other hand, was,

Nicholas Chuter. A young boy, who wasn't sure about his own friends. Or popularity, for that matter. His sister, Lucy Chuter, was almost like the star of the school, and knew pretty much everyone, constantly in someone's mouth. Whilst the other, Ele Barnard, was the nerd of the school, who just so happened to be dragged along all of Lucy's shenanigans.

Nobody would've thought that a relationship- or even a friendship in the first place, would ever be created between these two guys. But, after all, you should never judge a book by its cover.

Nicholas' POV;

"And so, he just leaves me with absolutely no explanation! Like, who the hell does he think he is?!"

I could feel my sister's annoying voice ring through both of my ears, as always. She could be quiet when she wanted to, but clearly, that wasn't an option with me around. I looked at her ranting & raised an eyebrow-- Just what was she saying about that guy again? The pest was more annoying than her, even a pussy, more so.

"Wowww, go on, Lucy. I'm sooooo invested in this."

I reply, my tone completely laced with sarcasm at the hurricane of words that she was spitting. I seriously couldn't handle people like her, sometimes. Why couldn't she shut up like she did when she was in class? My god. Looking at her, I could see her rolling her eyes and hitting my shoulder. Ow.. But whatever, her punches were weak for someone like me.

"You're so stupid, I swear to god. All you do is ever-!"

"ATTENTION ATTENTION, BIG THREE PASSING BY!"

A voice suddenly interrupted her, & we both looked to our lefts, onto the corridor. Everyone was standing by the lockers, leaving the.. Big three walking straight.

The big three. A trio made in heaven, and then sent to hell.
Elijah, Tao, and.. Oh yeah, who was that other one? Yeah, yeah, Sapphire.

I looked at them with a raised brow, just in enough time to see Lucy roll her eyes yet again. My sister was much, much popular than me, so I assume she knew them a little too well. Especially that one on the left, the black-haired one. He was very.. Handsome, if I had to say so myself.

I see him wave at my sister, and I can't help but be curious about it. Did they know each other?

".. You know him or what?"

I whispered, still confused.

"He's one of my 'bros', or whatever. I'm in a group chat with them & Ele."

She explained, shuddering with disgust and leaning against her own locker, before turning her back to them and opening it, revealing what almost seemed like a whole damn cosmetic store inside it. Just how did she even fit all of that in the locker, will always remain a mystery to me.

Thankfully, the bell rang. I turned around, ready to skedaddle away from her, but just before I could leave, she pulled by backpack, almost making me fall, as I then looked back at her. Before I could even talk, she asked me a question, fixing her gloss in the mirror, and then looking back at me.

"How do I look?"

"Terrible, now let me go to class."

I reply, rolling my eyes at her, but then chuckling, elbowing her shoulder lightly, to which she snickered at.

"Fine, fine. See you later, Nicholas!!"

She called out, running to class, because.. Well. She was late.

...

Hold on a moment.

SO WAS I.

Once the realization set in, my eyes widened, and I also began running over to class on the opposite side of hers. I really couldn't have another C on attendance again, otherwise that witch of my mother would kill me-!

Just as my thoughts spiraled, and I clearly wasn't looking where I was running, i bumped into something. Or worse, someone, rather.

I open my eyes quickly, just to find myself in.. Damn Elijah's arms. This Day couldn't get more embarrassing than ever. Just why him, of all people?! And especially, why in his arms?! My eyes widen once I realize who the hell it is, and i can already feel some blood rushing towards my cheeks. Worst day ever.

"Woah. Look where you're going, cutie."

He tells me, patting the side of my hip and letting me go gently, snickering, and so do his friends. His voice is a bit flirty, and I can tell that he's looking at me as if I were eye candy.

"Hold up, aren't you Lucy's older brother?"

The light brown-haired one asks me, as i then compose myself, getting back on my feet.

".. Yeah, I am."

"Didn't know she had an older brother who was this cute."

The one who was previously holding me pointed out, a shit-eating grin over his lips. Was this all a joke, or was he seriously considering me as attractive? I couldn't tell from that stupidly charming grin and French accent of his.

As Tao began talking again, I tuned away their voices, and focused only on my thoughts. Just what the fuck was I getting myself into..? Damn my sister and her popularity. If it weren't for her, I'd be just left off the hook with a warning, but no!-

"Right, right, I gotta go now though, bye bye!!!"

I suddenly speak, running past the guy, having a brief contact with him. My fingers brushed against his, and he was about to hold my hand, if it weren't for me to pull away immediately. I ran, and ran, immediately cutting the corner, to which the others had a somewhat surprised face at how sudden it all was.

Elijah's POV;

As I saw the boy run away, I turned to my best friend, who simply shrugged and told me to get it moving, considering we were going to skip class at the back of the school. As always.

While walking, I couldn't help but not be able to think of anything else except for.. Him. Lucy's older brother. Nicholas.
He will be mine.
