Fairy Tale Dreams

Chapter 6-Deep Crimson

It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” He said looking back at the scenery. Eriexia nodded, “Yes. Yes it is.” Matthuis is held out his hand, “Shall we?” She looked at him carefully then cautiously placed her hand in his. They began to dance...

It was the day following the Justin trauma/ romantic encounter and Luke was just styling his hair when his alarm went off.

“Oh f*** I’m gonna be late."  He grabbed the first shirt he saw, struggled into his shoes, touched up his hair and rushed out of the house, a bagel in his hand. As he approached the wall, Luke saw that Cat had waited for him.

Cat clocked Luke’s outfit, even with a crumpled t-shirt a scruffy hair, he still looked hot.

“You’re late.” She said with a smile in her voice.

Without stopping, Luke grabbed her hand and pulled her along with him.

“So,” Luke began, now running backward, as they approached the school, “you and Justin.”

“What about me and Justin?”

“Well, uh, you kissed...”

“And?”

“Well, um, you don’t kiss someone like that unless it mean something.”

“Just cause he kissed me...” Cat stopped to catch her breath, “Just cause HE kissed me, it doesn’t mean we’re going out or anything.”

Luke leaned against a lamp post, “So, he wouldn’t mind if you came round mine after school?”

Cat smiled, “Are you...?”

Luke turned a deep crimson, “No, it’s just- I mean... Carol... I mean... Mrs Budd... I mean... my mum...I...”

Cat grabbed his hand to stop him from falling over. He turned a deeper shade of crimson and looked down at the hand Cat was now gently holding. She followed his gaze, they looked into each other’s eyes. Silence.

In the distance, the bell rang. They broke eye contact and started running again, but they didn’t let go of each other’s hand.

It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” He said looking back at the scenery. The scion nodded, “Yes. Yes it is.” The prince held out his hand, “Shall we?” She looked at him carefully then cautiously placed her hand in his. They began to dance...

The lunch bell rang. Scarlet and Cat found Yazmin waiting for them outside their class. She had a smug expression on her face but her honey brown skin combined with her ruby red hair, made it look more excited than smug. She was in a black leather skater skirt and a highlighter blue and highlighter pink leopard print one shoulder shirt with pink Doc Martens. She had a couple a blue bangles on and had done well in applying her make up so it looked like she wasn’t wearing any. Although they didn’t have a uniform, Westfield High was strict about make up.

“So...” Yazmin said in excitement. Scarlet looked at her in confusion. “So- what?” Scarlet was in a short black pencil skirt, a white straight collar shirt, black Doc Martens and was wearing black geek chic glasses instead of her contact lenses.

Yazmin gaped like a fish then turned to face Cat, “Oh my gosh! You haven’t told her!?”

Cat smiled.

“The most amazing thing happened to you and you haven’t told her?” Yazmin sighed and put her hand on Scarlet’s shoulder, “Oh, Scarletta, you have got to move home rooms.”

“I am, they’re moving me already; tomorrow there will be a new member to the zone.” Yazmin jumped up and down in excitement, “Great cuz I’m not sure I keep this going. So any way back to the topic of Cat.” She stopped and took a deep breath, “So, sir was giving us a prep talk when...”

“Luke and Cat walked in.” Piped Pixie from behind them. Cat, Scarlet and Yazmin turned to face her. She was wearing a denim mini skirt and a top that made it hard not to laugh at anything she did. She had also managed to grow two inches taller than she was in home room.

“What? Never seen high heels before?” Pixie asked sarcastically at their shocked expressions. Yazmin shook her head and put her hand on her hip, “You do realise that you are violating the school rules,” she paused, “Pixela Ocean.”

“And you do realise that you are starting to sound a lot like Scarlet.” Pixie said copying her pose. “And besides everyone does it so I don’t see why you have to pick on me half of the time.”

Yazmin looked her up and down, “Well!”

“You guys do realise that there is nothing wrong with using correct grammar terminology.” Both Yazmin and Pixie rolled their eyes. “So anyway, Luke and Cat.”

“Oh, yeah. As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted,” Yazmin said, shooting Pixie a look, “Sir was giving us a prep talk when Cat and Luke walked into the room and...”

“...they where holding hands.” Justin finished explaining to Jet and Saxon.

“OK, wait! So is Cat going out with you or Luke?” 

Justin put his head in his hand. He knew his jet black haired friend was  in top sets for everything but sometimes he could act like the worlds dumest person.  He looked up, “You’re just not getting this are you. Cat and I are just friends.”

Saxon raised an eyebrow, “Friends that smooch?”

Justin groaned. Although one had jet black hair and the other had dark reddish blonde hair, Justin could see the connection between the Zodiac cousins,

Defeated, Justin said, “You know what? I’m just not gonna...”

His voice was drowned by the noise coming from the cafeteria and seeing as it was raining outside, it was no surprise that it was packed. The boys sighed. This was gonna be one heck of a lunchtime.

Looking back at the scenery, Matthuis said, “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” The scion nodded, “Yes. Yes it is.”

“Shall we?” He said holding out his hand. She looked at him carefully then cautiously placed her hand in his. They began to dance...
