The Love/Hate

11. Raquelle, Glasses; Batman and Darth Vader

As soon as u get into Maths I freeze at a sight I never thought I would see...Ryan and Raquelle!

Their faces seem to be morphing together and Raul e's eyes flutter open as I see Ryan's tongue poke the inside of her cheek. She pulls away from the kiss and starts walking up to me, Ryan following.

"Hi, sweetie! Long time no see!" She pats me on the back, batting her mascara coated lashes at me, flicking her strawberry blonde ringlets. Ryan looks uncomfortable right now.

I just go along with it, "Hey, Raq!" She was right, I haven't seen her since the holidays ended. "it's not what you think!" Ryan suddenly splutters, he looks nervous but why?
why would he think I'd care if he and Raquelle Porter just kissed in front of me?
Do I care?
NO!

"Ryan..." but 'Raq' interupts with a whisper in my ear. she bends over, flashing her knickers to Ryan as her short skirt flies up. I notice many of the guys gawking at her. "Listen, Eva. It's a new year, so stay outta my way! You hear!" before she leaves, she adds, "And stay outta his way too, got it?" And she struts off, her hair waving out behind her.

*******

I decide not to sit with Ryan but he keeps sending me apologetic looks from the other side of the room. I'm sitting with Lukas, a quiet boy in my art class. I've never actually spoken to him before so I don't know what to say about him.

*******

After a while of incredibly difficult math questions, Lukas turns to me.
"You're that girl."

I blink back, what girl?
"That girl...um...You're Eva right?" I nod and he studies my face. "Are you really as emo as they say?"

I look down at my clothes, some black jeans, a yellow summer rank and some blue pumps. Emo?
"Do I look Emo?"
Lukas shakes his head, "Guess not. You only wear primary colours though."

here we go, I've had to tell this story so many times already. "I only wear primary colours because I am my own person, my own colour, and I think primary colours are the only real colours so they stand out more. Secondary colours are overrated."

"That's deep." Lukas turns back to his work and I copy two more of his answers secretly.

"I know you're copying my answers by the way." he says and makes me jump.
"Sorry, I suck at maths."

He smiles an removes his glasses to give them a clean. I start giggling and he looks up at me, "What?"

"You look so different without the glasses!" and he does, he's actually pretty cute aswell: with big brown eyes and messy curls, he could actually be semi-attractive!

"Yeah. I don't actually need these, I wear contacts." I gasp, he chuckles. I grab the glasses from his hand and put them on, the lenses make everything so magnified and blurry!
"Woah!"

He smiles and puts the glasses back in his pocket. "Okay, I'll leave them off for today, just for you though."
I nid and bite my lip, how is it that I only just met Lukas and I'm already getting butterflies?
I'd thuus what it feels like to like someone? i wouldn't know, It's new happened to me before.

*******

"So, you're a neutral, right?" I ask casually, poking his firm bicep with my pencil. "Only by day," he pokes me back, "Hero by night... don't tell anyone but my real name is Bruce, Bruce Wayne!"

I burst out into a fit of giggles and start chanting loudly, "Nananananananana Batman!" He joins in and the teacher writes our names on the board.

"I LOVE DC... but I prefer marvel!"
"Everyone prefers Marvel, cut batman some slack!"

I flick my hair and put on an action expression, "Personally I just see him as some wannabe darts Vader, he has the voice and everything!"

Lukas starts breathing loudly and I hold my breath. "Eva, I am you're father!"

"Noooooooooo!" I scream out, falling off of my chair as I do. Lukas helps me up and the teacher yells DETENTION at treetop of her lungs, we just start laughing again and I can't help but see out of the corner of my eye, a jealous rage creeping over Ryan's face...

*******

So, new character Lukas, huh? Do you like him? Do you hate Raquelle?
Yay! double update!
