THE KORA CHRONICLES: Her Chosen Fate

up for the party

How I wished hours would've just sped up and get myself out of school
I needed to do some quick shopping and rock that grand party...I needed to dress to impress...not for everyone ....only for Dylan....as I placed my books into my locker a girl popped up beside me... She was not in my class but I had seen her a couple of times...she was in the cheer squad

"Hey"she said with a genuine smile
"Hey"
"Nice hand bag you got"she remarked
"Thank you...."
"You must be Shayne....right??...."she asked
"Zara Shayne"I said holding my hand out to her for a hand shake... and we shook hands

"Maya Gerald... Head of the school's newspaper...."

And a cheer leader

I  gave her a genuine smile

"I heard you're running for the SG presidency"she went on
"Yes....yeah I am"I said nodding
"Great....I thought maybe we could have you interviewed before the campaigns start.....just to give your supporters motivation..."
"Great idea!"I exclaimed
"How about tomorrow"
"Sure .....I'm good"
"See you then"

She said and walked away
God aren't people just angels sometimes....as I smiled at myself I noticed someone standing at the end of the row...looking at me....Dylan... All cute...all height all manly
I closed my locker making no attempt to follow him....he walked over anyway

"So you still coming??"he asked gazing down at me
"Yeah...why shouldn't i??"
"You're a smart girl... I thought you wouldn't want to waste a school night on a party while you could be solving calculus at home"

I rolled my eyes at him...truth is YES .....I definitely wouldn't waste a school night on a party when I could be doing something conservative at home

"Doesn't mean I don't want to have fun"I said with a small hint of mischief

He grinned and bit into his lower lip

"I like you Shayne.... Totally unpredictable"he said nodding

If you're looking for unpredictable... You found it

I stopped myself from saying "I like you too Dylan....totally hot...incredible and the one I crushed hard into" instead I just smiled and shifted my handbag to the other hand
The way to keep a guy on you is to cut him off when necessary...be a little mysterious and a bit mischievous.... It worked for guys like Dylan... I think....

"So see you tonight"I finalized not waiting for his reply as I walked away...I was all kinds of beaming hotness and radiating fire.....
*******
As soon as school was over...I drove to the second best place I knew....and that was the diner where my best friend....Jay Dante worked.... So far.....I knew he was a cool guy...we met five years ago when I got ganged up in the streets and he beat the crap out of the hoodlums....then we became pals....we saw each other almost every weekend and he told me he had just arrived in the city....he was in college and worked a part time job at the Torre's Diner....he had the looks...tall...dirty blonde...bluish eyes...the striking jawline....and he was built...I couldn't imagine how a girl would not fall for him.... I could not imagine how I did not fall for him
.... Though he had hardly spoken about any girl...he had no reasons to hide that from me because we were on the familiar grounds and I do tell him about my personal life....though as we grew close he told me he was on a run....he didn't exactly tell me why and I respected it that he wanted to keep it to himself....I once thought he was a criminal...but he was just so nice he couldn't fit in a mug shot....I pulled over in front of the dinner and walked in.....I headed for the booth at the corner and plopped myself down....as soon as I walked in he spotted me and I waved at him as he served a table...he raised two fingers and mouthed two minutes....I nodded as I started going through my phone......
And in two minutes he walked over to my table with my drink at hand..
