You're My Forever

His Name Is Lucas | 40

The Next Day...(Veronica's P.O.V)

I got dressed in a white cropped t-shit with some black cargo pants. I put my hair half up, half down, brushed my teeth, then went to school with Jack. 

I went up to my travel and tourism class and sat at my regular seat. Jeremy often sat with his other friends in this class and I was left alone but I was completely fine with it. Sitting alone didn't really bother me. 

But about three minutes later, while I was just on my phone, somebody walked up to me. A boy. I've seen him in this class before but we've never talked or anything. I didn't even know his name. 

His skin was light, he was pretty tall and his hair was light brown, curly and he had a fade. His eyes were very interesting and pretty. They were like golden brown, but so light brown that they were almost yellow.

"Hey, I'm Lucas." He said with a very friendly smile. "Oh hi. I'm Veronica. Or Roni." I said with a smile and small chuckle. "Mind if I sit here? Kinda looking for some new friends?" He asked me, still with a smile. "Yeah, sure." I said happily. 

So, he took the seat beside me. "It's nice to meet you." He said, holding out his hand. "You too." I chuckled a little bit as I shook his hand. 

"Did you go on the Louisiana trip earlier? I don't think I saw you." He asked me, still sounding very friendly. "No, I didn't. I've been to Louisiana way too many times. But was it fun?" I told him. "Yeah it was really fun. We got to do a lot of sightseeing." He explained.

We started talking more and more. We continued to talk and got to know each other pretty much for the entire period. He seemed like a really nice guy! I could definitely see myself being friends with him. 

Lunch... 

I went to my locker to swap out my binders and after that, I went to the cafeteria. I found Jack pretty quickly and I went over to him. I greeted him happily as I sat down beside him and he kissed my cheek. 

"I made a new friend in one of my classes today." I told him happily. "Oh really? Finally seems like you're getting over this shy thing." He said and both of us chuckled. 

"But he is a boy.. His name is Lucas. Are you ok with that?" I asked him a bit nervously. "Yeah, of course. I trust you Roni, I've known you forever." He smiled, putting his arm around me. I couldn't help but smile as well. 

"But goddamn, that name.. 'Lucas'. It reminds me of this dude who I literally can't stand. I swear he's my number one enemy. But, since this Lucas has befriended you, there's no way he can be the Lucas I'm thinking of." He told me. "Yeah definitely. This guy is like super nice. There's no way you'd hate this guy." I said back. 

Ema's P.O.V... 

When the lunch bell rang, I went to my locker like I always did to freshen up. But while I was there, I saw someone walk up to me from the corner of my eye. I looked over to see Lucas.

"I already don't wanna do this.." He sighed, leaning his shoulder against the lockers. "Too bad. We made a deal." I told him firmly. "But I'm already bored as fuck. She's so different from me, definitely not my type of person." He crossed his arms. 

"Lucas, You have to! You'll get used to her eventually. Just act as her ideal best friend. The big day will come before you know it and then you'll never have to talk to her again." I told him. "Ugh, whatever..." He sighed before walking away. 

He'd better not mess this up.

After School...(Coltin's P.O.V.) 

Shayna and I usually always walked home from school together since we lived in the same direction. And that's what we were going to be doing today. 

I was too nervous to confess to Shayna yesterday and I was still very nervous today but I had to do it eventually. So I decided to try today. 

We met up when the bell rang and we both greeted each other with a smile. We began walking. We had about ten minutes of walking together before we had to part ways. And that meant that I had ten minutes to build up my courage. 

About five minutes into the walk, all I could think about was confessing to her. I was barely even paying attention to what she was saying. 

Shayna's P.O.V... 

"Have you ever had Ms. Jefferson as a supply? She's hilarious." I asked Coltin with a laugh as we continued to walk. But I got confused when a couple seconds past with no answer from him. I looked at him, still while walking. "Coltin?" I said, confused. 

He suddenly stopped walking so I did too. He turned to me. He looked down into my eyes so I looked up into his as well. His eyes were freaking gorgeous.. They looked brown but if one were to look super close, they'd see that his eyes were actually a very dark green colour.

"I can't keep pushing this off.." He mumbled, his eyes still on mine. "P-Pushing what off..?" I asked him, slowly beginning to get lost in his eyes. He took a deep breath. 

"I like you, Shayna. I've like you a lot for a while now.." He spoke quietly but firmly, with a small smile. My heart immediately skipped a beat. "Are you serious..?" I asked him quietly, almost whispering as a smile started to form on my lips. He nodded, his fingertips sliding down my arm before holding my hand. 

Instead of telling him I feel the same way, I decided to show him.

I held his neck in both of my hands as I quickly pressed my lips onto his. I felt his smile against my lips as his hands held my hips. He pulled me close against his body as we continued to kiss gently with passion.

After kissing for about ten seconds, we slowly pulled back and rested our foreheads against each other. We both giggled. My arms went around his neck and his went around my waist as our foreheads stayed against each other. 

"I like you too, Coltin.. if that didn't already tell you..." I whispered back, a smile on my face. "Then can I take you on a date next Friday?" He whispered but sounded happy. "Definitely, for sure." I whispered before pecking his lips once more.
