The New Kid

Chapter 2

Emma's pov

"You can probably stop starring at him now.." Calum snapped his fingers at me trying to get my gaze away from the boy across the classroom.

I couldn't help it, there was another new guy and boy was he attractive. He wore a flannel, black ripped skinny jeans, a lip piercing and his hair was darn near perfect. He was probably the most attractive guy I've ever seen at my school.

"Sorry for being interested in someone I've never seen before" I said a little bit too quickly as a bit my lip.

"You weren't quite as 'interested' in the lad with pink hair, and in this town having hair like that is pretty in interesting Em" Calum snorted.

I usually love Calum but right now I wish he would just shut up. I'm just a little bit curious, it's not like I'm going up to him and asking him what his name is and where he lives. "Hey now Cal, you and I both know that I'm not interested in assholes who look like flamingos" I laughed which made us both burst out laughing.

Unfortunately Calum and I had only one class together this semester. Which really bummed me out because he is my best friend. When it was lunch I made my way from my locker to the table we usually sat at with Liz, Ashton, Calum and I. As usual, I was the first one at the table then Ashton and Liz joined me, they were having a conversation about how cool their science teacher is while I was concentrated on the sandwich my mom made me.

"Hey, this is my new friend Luke from English and he is going to sit us. Emma, he is also in our biology class" Calum said almost too friendly.

I look up to see the boy I was starting at in Bio. Of course Calum had to befriend him, of all people. Just act normal Emma, it's not like he is famous or anything like that.

"Hi, uh, I like your shirt" Luke spoke softly yet confident at the same time.

"Thanks, they are my favourite band. I'm Emma, and that's Liz and Ashton" I hope I wasn't being too friendly. I was kind nervous when talking to him, but I was unsure why, he was just like all of us, a regular teenager.
"Actually I have to go, I'll catch you later guys" I put all my stuff back in my backpack and rushed off.

I didn't mean to act rude but I didn't feel like eating lunch with someone I barley knew, no matter how hot he was. The rest of the day was slow, and as soon as the bell rang I was outside waiting for my dad to pick my brother and I up. He dropped me off at the diner, which also wasn't far from my house. I didn't mind helping my mom with the diner, we knew all the people and they were always friendly. Right after I finished bringing Mr. and Mrs. Williamson their food I heard my mom call me to take table number fives order.

"Hello welcome to Mindy's diner, what can I start you off with?" I asked politely as I looked up and saw the faces of the two new boys Luke, the flamingo, an older man, and woman. They woman had shoulder length blonde hair, bright blue eyes that looked friendly and a nice warm smile whereas the man was bald, stern and had no facial expression.

"Oh hi, Emma, right?" Luke asked nicely. We made eye contact for a second which was broken once the boy with pink hair spoke.

"Nice place this is. Too bad the servers could use a bit of improvement" The boy smirked, he seemed amused.

"Michael be nice, the service is nice and fast here. Hello, I am Marie, this is my husband Craig and these are our boys Michael and Luke; seems like you and Luke have already met though" Marie flashed a friendly smile and I noticed it was genuine.

"We have Biology together, hopefully you all feel welcome here, can I take your orders?" I asked smiling

After everyone had left, and we cleaned up my mom and I headed home. I finished off the night with a warm bath, thinking about how that boy played with his lip ring. Why was I so intrigued by him?
