Focus {ON HOLD}

Chapter 8

The lunch bell rings and students start piling into the hallways. Since fourth period is my last, I decided to go have lunch with my friends to pass time.

My friend Mia drives us to Panera's. I order a Chicken Caesar salad and sit at the booth.

We take our time eating and even go to the mall after. I buy myself a really cute nude lipstick that I'll probably wear tonight.

My friends keep on bugging me about the date, and I try my hardest to avoid the conversations.

Yes I'm excited, but a part of me feels a little guilty about this.

But then again, I'm known to be a shy good girl that'd rather choose to read a book at home than to go to a party. People tell me to let loose and have fun, so that's exactly what I'm doing.

3:30

I was in the girls locker room, retouching my makeup and hair. People were rushing to get home, so I was alone in the room.

I did a light makeup with fierce brows. My hair was up in a sleek ponytail and I wore a cute long sleeved romper with wedges.

At 4:00, I waited in the parking lot for Scott to come out. Luckily, there was no one else, and only a few cars left.

I was sitting on a bench, scrolling through Instagram, when I heard shoes clicking behind me.

"You ready?" Scott says as he walks past me, to his car.

I look around to make sure that no one is near, and approach his car gorgeous black Range Rover.

We get in and buckle up.

"You look beautiful." He says putting on his Ray Bands.

"Thank you. You're looking pretty snazzy yourself." I say, making him laugh, "so, where are we going?"

"I'm going to stop at my house real quick to freshen up, then we'll go to San Fransisco." He started the car and began driving.

"Okay, cool."

San Fransisco is only 30 minutes from my town, so it won't take long to get there. Going there means that there's a less chance of anyone we know recognizing us.

----

We pull up to black steel gates with a sign on it that reads Stone Creek Homes.

Scott presses a small remote that opens the gates. We enter the neighborhood filled with amazing houses.

My house is a decent sized, cottage styled house so these houses are way different than what I usually see.

We drive along a narrow road until he turns into the parking lot of his home.

"Here we are." He takes out the keys and gets off the car.

I follow, with my mouth wide open.

"You live here? I thought teacher salary was difficult to live on?"

Scott chuckles, and shakes his head.

"I come from a different family.."

"What do your parents do?" I say gliding my fingers along his huge front door. He unlocks it, leading me into an even more extravagant inside.

"My great grandparents were founders of a company. So when they passed away, they split they're earnings among their children. My grandfather ended up getting the house and a few million dollars."

"Wait, so this is an old house?" I shockingly say.

"Well yes, but we've done some remodeling. My parents are filthy rich, so they moved to LA, giving me this house. My mom is actually trying to get on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." He said embarrassed.

"Hey, don't make fun of her! I actually like that's show." I admit.

"Well I'm going to go get ready, so make yourself at home." He says before hurrying up the set of huge black stairs.

I go into the kitchen and get myself a glass of water.

10 minutes quickly pass when Scott finally descends from upstairs. He's in a nice black suit with a really expensive watch, from what I can tell.

"Ready to head out?" He asks, smoothing his hair.

"Yes." I walk to the front door, following him. I'm greeted by the amazing aroma of his cologne. "You smell exquisite."

"Thank you, and nice use of the vocabulary words." He says, with a small laugh.

----

After driving for 45 minutes, we finally arrive in Sam Fransisco. The sun is setting, so all the buildings are lit up.

"I'm taking us to an awesome movie theater, then to one of my favorite restaurants." He's getting off of the Bay Bridge and driving into the city.

"I can't wait." I say, truly excited to see what the night unfolds.
