Her heart was in the wrong place you could say. She was a wild thing, never wanting to settle down. Her eyes were like charcoal and her lips were a rose red the first time he saw her. Her delicate brown hair curled to the tip.

Any conversations that had started quickly seised for the doors bell shattered them. All heads turned towards the door and whispers went amongst all of them. A drunken frat boy was first to greet the exotic goddess, but she shooed him away. Many others fell to her feet. "What's your name?" One asked. His rich clothes reeked of anything in the small pub and grill. She smiled at him shyly, but not as she was shy. She wasn't. Her lips just curved up in a small manner almost as delicately as her hair. She leaned closer to the young, desperate boy and whispered softly in his ear, "trouble." The whispers started again and a couple laughs formed from her 'audience'. "You don't believe me?" She said in a mock-hurt. There were multiple 'no's'. She did a bit of a cackle before sitting at the bar, facing them all. He stood in the back, quite amused by the stories that she told.

"Lies." He mumbled loud enough that she could hear. She raised her eyebrow at him. He smirked and crossed his arms. "That's never happened. You'd have proof."

"Are you saying I don't have proof?" She questioned him. She stood up and made her way towards him, through the desperate amount of boys. "Why don't you come with me and I'll show you proof." She more of demanded then suggested. She grabbed him by the strings of his sweatshirt and pulled him out front. Once they were put she started walking away. He stood there again watching her. She turned around and scowled at him. "Are you coming or what?" He nodded and followed the spunky brunette. She skipped down the abandoned street, he was following close behind.

"So trouble, what's your real name?" He asked catching up to her.

"Lara." She said. Her tone was soft. "What's yours?"

"Luke." He replied, smiling. He watched as her attitude changed and her finger run along the glass of the stores. "Where are we going?"

"Places." She turned down an alley. He noticed the direction she was going.

"What are we going to do places?" He got a bit nervous. His breath was catching up with his walking speed.

"Don't you want to see trouble?" She stopped and turned around. He adjusted his collar. "Are you scared of me, love?" Her tone was teasing. She was close to him now and he could feel her breath. She sighed and grabbed his wrist. "Don't worry, darling, we won't get caught unless you're loud. Be a ninja with me."

She pulled him to the entrance of the zoo. This was her spot and she never took others here. He was lucky. She saw the low spot in the wall and boosted herself up. He followed behind hesitantly. She dropped down and walked to the snack bar. She picked up a bag of chips and left two dollars on the counter. "Always pay for what you take, hon."

"You're something else, trouble." He chuckled and left another dollar seeing on the sign chips cost thee dollars. She crunched on the Doritos walking past the penguin exhibit. He saw the small black and white men and squealed as manly as a squeal can get. She let out a flutter of laughter watching him watching the waddling around the enclosure. "Penguins!"

"You like penguins?" She stated more than asked. It was quite obvious he liked them. Well not just liked them, loved them. He waved to them and smiled as they slid down the ice. "You're adorable."

"Look at that one! And that one! That one is sleeping. That one is definitely my favorite! He's so cute!" He kept saying about each one. She told him they had to go, but he insisted that they stayed for awhile longer. She told him no, and he finally agreed. They left the zoo and started walking back through the alley to the pub.

"Was that proof?" She needed to know if he believed her now. He smirked looking down at his feet.

"Sure." He teased. She rolled her eyes and kept walking. This good boy interested her greatly and she had an idea in her mind. She wanted by the person that changed that.

"I'm having a party tomorrow night. Show up, will you?"

"Why not." Luke was thrilled on the inside. Knowing her, he knew she would throw a killer party.

"It'll just be me and a few wild things. I think you'd be a great adaption to our group." She smiled at the boy. They split off for the night, leaving both of them in a state of distress.
