Hey guys! I hope you're enjoying the story so far. So this is Drew, Kennedy's love interest, who in reality is actually Rob Lowe. One of the sexiest men in the world!
Rob Lowe has recently become one of my biggest crushes and he's the real reason I wrote this story.
Isn't he just a cutie?
- - - -
My dad gave me his deadly stare and I quickly looked over at my mom with wide eyes that read, 'please help me!'She shook her head at me and I continued to pull the trick that I had been pulling since I was 6 months old and she eventually gave in.
"Oh, Bill. The girl is 16. I think she looks cute!" She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned up, kissing his cheek before she turned to the Martin's, who sat quietly. "And these are the Martin's! Their our new neighbors."
My dad continued to stare at me for a moment with a blank expression before his eyes darted over to the Martin's and his whole demeanor changed to this cheerful guy.
I felt my cheeks burning when I noticed Robert's eyes on me and how he was checking out my outfit. I shifted as I stood awkwardly while biting my bottom lip. I always do that when I'm nervous.
I checked my watch and it was really time for me to go. "It was nice meeting all of you, but I must go!" I went to run out the door until I heard my mother call my name.
Ugh..what now?
I slowly turned on my heels and looked at my mom.
"Why don't you take the Martin Kids with you? I'm sure they'd love to go and even make some new friends!"
Is she being serious?
"But, Mommy," I gritted my teeth. "Don't they have some moving to do? I would hate to interfere with that." I gave her a fake smile before it quickly dropped due to Mrs.Martin.
"Oh, I think it would be good for them to meet some kids around town! School's just around the corner and it would be nice to know that they already have somebody they know around." She patted the back of her husband and gave him a curious look. "What do you think, John?"
Of course he agreed and I rolled my eyes in my head, before letting out a sigh.
"Well let's go. It's bad to be late where we're going." I grabbed the keys to the car and made my way out, with the new kids following close behind.
"So...where are we going?" The oldest, Matthew, asked after a long silence and tension had filled the vehicle.
"To a skating rink. Do you guys skate?" I glanced into my rear view mirror and looked at the two boys in the back and then I looked beside me at Lisa.
"I skate. The two asswipes in the back do everything else that involves the use of a ball." She explained while looking back at the two with a small smirk.
"Shut up, Tweetie!" Drew reached up and smacked his little sister in the back of her head before he let out a tickled laugh at her shocked reaction.
All of our laughter filled the car as they explained where they were from and what they liked to do.
The Martin's came from West Virginia and the reason they had came to the city was because their father was a business owner, he sold cars, and had decided to move his company somewhere where it could get more exposure.
From the sounds of things, they had the perfect life. Lisa was a cheerleader and gymnast while her brothers were in other sports. Matthew was the basketball star and Drew was a football star. They lived in a mansion and had a descent life.
Once I pulled up in the parking lot, we all got out quickly and let me tell you, it was packed tonight.
"Stay close by." I warned as I started to make my way through the crowds of people inside. I bumped into several people as I pulled myself through the crowd trying to find Rizzy and Sharon.
"Riz!" I shouted when I noticed her tight black curls bouncing around by a nearby Pac-Man. She didn't hear me at first, but Sharon did and she pointed towards me.
I waved towards the two, still pushing through the crowd along with the Martin's still close behind.
A soft gasp escaped my lips when I felt Drew's lean body brush up against mine. I could smell his strong cologne as it invaded my scents and I could taste it on my tongue.
"Sorry.." He whispered in his gentle, yet firm voice and I shook my head. "No, it's okay."
I felt like my insides would explode when I caught his gaze and we stood in the middle of the crowd, just staring into each other's eyes.
His eyes were a piercing blue, I really felt intimidated as I went to open my mouth, but but no words came out.
Just then someone cleared their throats and I quickly snapped my head into the direction of the noise.
It was Rizzy.
She had one of her hands on her hip with a lollipop in her other. She looked Drew up and down with a skeptical look before she winked at him and I.
"Uh, hey!" I was quick to let the tension disappear and I noticed everyone exchanging looks. "Let's go get some skates!"
Everyone quickly snapped out of the awkward trance and we all made our way over to the check in desk.
"I think it's love." I heard Sharon whisper and Rizzy's small giggle. I rolled my eyes and let out a low groan.
This is going to be a long night.
"Matt is that you?" A sudden voice called and we all turned to see the biggest jerk in town, Ricky, walking over with his little gang following right behind him.
We all looked at each other with same exact confused expression expect for Lisa, Matthew, and Drew.
