The Fast Lane (Prodigy Love Story)

Temptation...

Chanel's POV: 

I can't believe that I'm on this trip. I can't believe that Prodigy is my partner. But what I can't really believe is that I haven't spoken to him in over two whole months. That is a long time! And even though we haven't spoken to each other, I still have a little bit of a crush for him. I can't help the way he makes me feel is turning me on!

As the bus ride kept going, some of the kids in the front noticed that something from the top of the bus was leaking down. Since the bus driver wouldn't stop, Sr. Rodriguez insisted that everyone in the front move to the back. Well, since I've been acting my normal self lately, of course nobody wanted to sit with me, so I thought that I was all good. Until, I felt the seat move and my eyes landed on him.

Prodigy.

It was as though I had frogs in my throat and my stomach filled with a bunch of butterflies. We haven't been this close in like a couple of months! I knew that it would happen sooner or later, since we were paired up for this trip, but I didn't think that it would be this soon.

He simply smiled and I just waved back. I turned my head to focus on what was outside. I felt bored, so I figured that I would play Candy Crush Saga on my iPod touch. As I was playing, I realized that I failed a level and sighed in defeat. I heard a small little laugh and looked as Prodigy tried to correct his face.

"If you think it's so funny, why don't you play the level for yourself, then." I said, with an attitude, while giving him the iPod.

"And I bet that I'll win this level, too!" He said with confidence.

Here we go again...

"Mhm... Well, I ain't betting you nothing until I see you lose to this level."

"And I'll let you know what I need you to do when I win." He said.

"You're on!"

Ten minutes later, Prodigy handed my iPod back, smirking. I looked at the screen and he had beat the level that I was stuck on. Oh gosh. There ain't no telling what kind of stuff he wants me to do, but whatever. I just want this trip to hurry up an be over with.

"Ugh, okay. What do I have to do?" I said with regret in my voice.

"Oh, you'll see, Nellie. You'll see."

On the outside, I showed no emotion. But on the inside, I was cheesing really hard. I guess because he called my Nellie, which was the only nickname anybody's given me besides Nel. I kind of felt special and almost forgot about his earlier bet with Mya.

As I turned back to the window, I felt something on my leg. I looked to see that Prodigy was rubbing his hand on my leg. I gave him a stern look and he quickly removed it.

"Too soon?" He asked.

"Too soon." I replied back.

"Haha, sorry. I just k--"

We were interrupted by the bus pulling over into some gas station. Sr. Rodriguez was on the phone and walked off the bus flipping out. The bus driver soon got out and followed him, leaving all of us kids on the bus. I looked at my phone and it said 11:34 am.

"I know it doesn't take five hours to get the capital, now!" I said, being irritated.

"Guys! Look there's something y'all should know." Sr. Rodriguez said. "We're lost."

"Man, what have we been doing the last couple of hours, then!?" Prodigy said while getting angry.

There was a whole bunch of chaos going on until the bus driver came and blew a whistle.

"We've decided to go let you guys shop and do whatever you want while we're out here. Since we can't use the money for D.C., we'll let you guys use it here." said Sr. Rodriguez.

The entire bus roared with excitement. At least we could make the best of what we got, I guess. Once the bus calmed down,, we were on our way to whatever direction the mall was. Once we reached there, I got off the bus, stretched, received my money and began to walk off until I felt someone tap my shoulder.

"Hey, even though we still don't have to be paired up, I was kind of hoping we could still stick together. You're the only one that I know and I think the dudes that came are gay or something.."

I laughed a little. "Well, come on then Prodigy! It's cold out here, anyway!"

 Soon as I said that, we carried on as if we've been best friends forever. And to be honest, it felt really comforting to hang out with him again. I didn't know how much fun he was until actually talking to him. Yeah, we've talked before, but that was just mainly for show. Now that both of our real personalities are shown, we've actually gotten along a whole lot better.

After we shopped at a few stores, we sat down for a break and to get something to eat. While Prod went to pay for it, I began to really think about life, and us in general. I mean, I know that everything's not picture perfect, but a small part of me wishes that we can try to explore that other side. My thoughts were interrupted when I noticed that my food was sitting in front of me. So, I dug in!

When we were finished, Prodigy told me that he wanted to take me to a special store and for me to close my eyes. Reluctantly I did so as he guided me in whatever direction we were going.

"Okay. You can open your eyes now." He told me.

I immediately slapped him in the face and felt the heat of embarrassment fill up all over my body. We both had a small smirk on our faces when we turned towards one another.

"What the hell was that for!?" He asked trying not to show the smile that was forming on his face.

"I am not about to go inside of Victoria's Secret so you can see me half-naked!! You must of lost your ever-lasting mind..." I said with emphasis on 'must.'

"But, this is what I wanted you to do, since you know you lost the bet and all..."

My face completely froze. I didn't know that he would try to pull that on me, well at least not today. He saw my surprised expression and took me into the store. We walked to the back where the dressing rooms were and left me there. About five minutes later, I noticed that there was no one left in the store besides us and the manager of the store.

"What's going on?" I asked nervously.

"This kind young man told me about how much he adores his girlfriend." The lady said while pointing to me when she said 'girlfriend,' "and I decided to clear the store so he can have a private fashion show from you. And, since he is a very successful singer in a wonderful group, I couldn't say no!"

"Thanks again." Prodigy said to her.

"No problem! Now, I'll be in the back office if you need anything. You can try on anything that you want to, sweetie. Have a great afternoon!" Then she disappeared towards the back near the offices.

Prodigy sat down in one of the chairs with a smirk on his face. I looked at him confused.

"You heard the lady. Go and try on anything you want!" He winked at me.

I don't even have anything to say, right now...
