To Take A Risk

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

As soon as those words slipped out of ,my mouth even i didnt believe them. I could tell he didnt either. For one my facial expression wasnt believable, my eyebrows rose all the way to the crease of my hair. Secondly, the way he quizically raised one eyebro just told me he didnt believe me. Why would he? "Oh yeah? What's his name?" His shaken voice broke me out of my trian of thought. "Uh-um- well- I," I stuttered helplessly. He let out a low husky chuckle that only made me angry. "His name is Spencer, if you really must know." I felt so much stronger with this lie then the last. Well, technically it wasnt really a lie, my best friend back home was Spencer and he had a extremely stalkish ex girlfriend so he had hoped that pretending to date me would give her a hint to lay off.

It didnt and it only made my hidden feelings for him stronger. When I left we didnt break off our fake relationship in hopes of keeping her away so we tried a "long distance relationship" if thats what you would call a fake ongoing relationship halfway across the country. Malcom opened his mouth as he was about to speak as Mrs. Hyper Teacher noticed our conversation and yelled, "Is your conversation that important Mr. Willow?" He shifted in his seat as his jaw clenched. "No ma'am, it wont happen again."

"Damn right it wont." I muttered under my breath, although i had a feeling Malcom heard me cuz he turned giving me a pleading look.

Thankfully puppy dog faces really had no effect on me so I could hold out for the last 15 minutes of class.

Eventually the bell rang and everyone dashed out of the classroom leaving me in, what seemed like a cloud of dust. I walked halfway across the school to find my locker. As I put in my combination and opened my locker a short, petite, brunette aproached the locker next to me. Must be my new locker partner. "Hi what's your name?" She wasnt as peppy as the teacher but still too happy for 8:00 in the morning. "Um- I'm Kyla, and you are?" "Thats a beautiful name, but you're gorgeous so it suits you, OH! and my name is Alena, nice to meet you." I could tell I was gonna like this girl, she seemed perky and straight to the point. "Its nice to meet you Alena, so this is your locker?" I said nodding my head to the locker to the left of us.

"Yup, yup, yup. You'll be seeing a lot of me missy, whether you like it or not." She said giving me a slight wink.

"I wouldn't mind at all." For my first day here, I've made a friend within an hour, impressive. Alena was very pretty as well as petite, she had llong, gorgeous dark brown hair in loose wavy curls. Her makeup was neutrelly done but absolutely perfect. She seemed to have clothes that fit her just right too, and she had a body any girl would want.

And she was calling me gorgeous? Hunny please.

The rest of the day me and Alena walked to pretty much every class together, we had 3 classes together and lunch, so I wasnt that lonely my first day of school.

Alena filled me in on the mean girls and the jocks and pretty much every high school social class and who was in it.

I knew she told it like it is, gotta trust my gut more often.

Nothing really happened that was remarkable the rest of the day, Malcom was in two more of my classes and he so kindly stayed away from me, so i had no more awkward encounters to endure.

Finally, the last hour of the day. English.  I adored english, and i love writing assignments, and by the looks of it, we had the most cliche writing assignment ever, What I Did Over Summer Vacation. Okay, who would honestly say what the REALLY did over summer vacation...ya nobody.

I sat in my sseat with Alena sitting to the left of me. The seat to the right was empty, until the final bell rang and a fair toned blonde haired blue eyed boy stepped in and slid into the desk. He looked so angelic and gentel. I'm not the one to let looks fool me though.

"Hi there." He said with a large grin and a reached out hand. "Hey I'm Kyla, and you are?" I answered with another reached out hand to shake his. "Im Brandon, you're new around here arent you?" "Yup, all the way from Cali my friend." Ok i didnt even know this kid yet I felt so comfortable. What the hell? He was about to answer but was cut off when the teacher began his opening lesson. I leaned over to Alena,"Who's he?" I asked. "He's obvi a hottie, co captain of the football team, along with Malcom, student body president, probably the best boyfriend matrial guy in this school. Oh, and him and Malcom are best friends, partners in crime, which doesnt make sense because Brandon is perfect and Malcom's a player." So i was right when it came to Malcom.

I simply nodded and turned my attention back to the teach and when i looked down at my desk there was a piece of paper that said 'Call me.' -Brandon and on the back was his phone number.

It was after school and Alena and I had went to my house to hang out. I had told her about the phone number and my encounter with Malcom. She sat, listened and when it was time for her input she said, "Ok, now it's time to have fun and doll you up. You have two bpys, probably the hottest in the school, drooling over you and your dressing conservatively." I looked at her quizzacly furrowing my eyebrows. She sighed continuing,"I'm sleeping over and we are gonna make you more gorgeous than you already are." Adding a wink at the end she smiled at me waiting for approval.

I simply nodded my head while in the back of my mind i though, "This girl may be my new bestfriend but I'm scared as hell for tomorrow morning."
