Chris's POV.

"I swear I've seen her before .." Marty just looks at me like I'm a crazy person. "Bro , she just moved here , how could you possibly know her ?" I stop to turn back and look at her one more time. She was lying down on the green , soft-looking grass with earphones in her ears , wearing nothing but a pink and purple bikini on that fine , smooth skin. She had an angelic , innocent face which i felt as if i knew it from somewhere.

"Hey , Dummy ! I'm talking to you !" Marty says as he lands a rock-hard fist on my shoulder. "Ahhh , what the heck , man !" I yell out in pain. I , once again , turn to the beautiful , perfect still-painting that was her only to gaze into her beautiful , brown eyes. She smiles as she gets up and put some lotion on her skin. I smile back as i turn to Marty to ask him a very , very important question ... Well , to me it was .. "Who is she ?"

"She is someone who'll never be yours , boy." the stupid asshole replies with what i thought to be a teasing tone. "Why you gotta be such an a-hole , man?" ... "I'm your friend , and friends are always real with each other , man. That right there ... " , he says as she points at her , "is a priceless artifact and you , my brother , can't ... won't be able to afford it." he replies as he shrugs his shoulders. "Yeah , maybe you're right. Or maybe she the type that don't care 'bout that." I say with an optimistic tone. "Nah , man .. They all the same. All of em."

We finally reach Marty's house and it's like everyday i seem to forget how big and awesome it is. "That never get old." He chuckles as he says that , commenting on the fact that my jaw drops every time i go there. "Shut up !!" i hit back , landing my fist on his shoulder as i run inside.

"Hello , Mr James." i hear his butler address him as he opens the door. i forgot he has that. "Hey , Frank , how is it going ?" he says to the butler and i assumed it was a rhetorical question cause he didn't even bother replying. "Come in , man. And stop drooling all over my front door." he say says with a smirk on his face. I couldn't help it , the house is ... Damn.

"Hello , Mr Jackson. Pleasure having you here with us again." "Uh , come on , man. Just call me Chris." i throw my hands in the air as i give a heavy sigh.

Marty throws a 500g pack of Doritos my way as he takes out a pack Lays for himself.

"I can't stop thinking about her , man." i start , referring to the girl we both saw earlier. Something about her made me feel at ease. Maybe it was her eyes , or her smile. Somehow she seemed different and that intrigued me. Somehow , she seemed familiar. "If you don't , we won't finish this match and won't get to begin with the assignment for tomorrow." he says with a straight , gaming face he had on.

Marty and I had a habit of procrastinating assignments , studying , every other thing that was important.

"What assignment ?"
"That fvcked up math assignment"
"Oh , that assignment." i say as i throw another Dorito chip into my mouth.

A few moments later , after everything that happened registered in , i paused the game , jumped up and shouted , "Wait , it's for tomorrow ??!!"
"Yeah , why ?"
"That thing is like three pages long, it's gonna take us all night to complete !"
"Crap ! Are you serious ?" he switches off the Console , grabs his things and we get started.

Few hours later ...

"Thanks , man." I say as he drops me off at home.
"Yeah, no prob , bro. Be ready by 7am tomorrow , I'll pull up to pick you up."
"How can i say no to a free ride ?"
"Who said it'll be free ?" he say with a smirk on his face.
"Wait , wh - " before i could finish my sentence , the a-hole reffed his Mustang and drove off.
"Whatever .." i say as i walk inside the house , going straight to my room , throwing my bag on a nearby chair and jump on the bed as i fall into an imminent sleep.
