Emily picked a very skimpy sleeveless purple gown for me and no doubt I looked kind of good in it. I looked at myself in the mirror and I noticed how the gown brought out my curves, I liked the gown, but the problem I had with it was that it was too tight and it was difficult for me to walk and breathe in it. But as they say "you have to go through pain at times just to look beautiful."
Sigh.I combed my long ebony hair and then packed it into a perfect ponytail. I applied light makeup on my face and checked myself in the mirror before leaving my apartment.Emily was going to wait for me close to the party venue so I boarded a taxi to the place where we planned to meet. When the driver got there I got down from the car and paid him, I saw Emily not too far from the place I was. She approached me and she was damn hot, her red gown adorned her body and her make-up was breathtaking.She came very prepared for this party. "Are you ready, Dakota?" She asked as she approached me. I wasn't ready for anything like this, I just came out here just because of her, I meant to be on her bed right now."I guess," I shrugged and she placed her hands over my shoulder. "What about you?"She smirked."I'm born ready," Emily said in a confident tone and I giggle at the way she sounded.We reached the building where the party was holding and we entered, the pungent smell of alcohol and cigarette smoke invaded my nostrils."Get ready, Cruise." She shouted so that I could hear her over the loud music.I was getting a headache already, the music was too loud and the smell of cigars, alcohol, hard drugs and sweat was making me want to throw up."For what?" I shouted back."To party your worries out and have the best night ever!" She said excitedly and narrowed her eyes, I did not see this party as a way to relieve my stress and worries but as a way to add to them, I was not the clubbing type.The bright disco light made me feel nauseated and I began regretting why I came there.I passed through many people partying their lives out, my body rubbing against their sweaty bodies as they danced around and it felt so disgusting.I sat on a barstool and sighed out of relief that I was out of the dreadful dance floor. I felt thirsty and I tried ordering a drink but it was too expensive for me to afford.Everywhere was quite hot and I needed to get hydrated, so I bought a bottle of water which was ridiculously expensive, I had no choice I wasn't ready to die out of dehydration.I so hated this place.While sitting in the bar feeling quite miserable, I saw Luke standing all alone in a corner, he was leaning on the wall with his head bent low. I choked on the water I was drinking when I saw him.What was he doing here?I dropped the water bottle on the bar's counter and rubbed my eyes with my hands to see whether I was still seeing properly.After examining him for some minutes I confirmed that it was him--it was Calvin Luke. I was surprised to see him here, I never knew he was the type that attends frat parties like this, he doesn't look like it at all and I wonder what he was doing there all alone.He stared my way and I quickly hid my face. Why did he decide to look this way? Even though he was quite far from where I was I could feel his burning stare on me.I began hyperventilating, if he continued staring at me like that, I would melt like ice.When I felt like he was not staring at me again, I turned and gladly he was not looking my way again.Sigh.I began admiring him, he was so damn hot, he wore a super tight black shirt that revealed his muscular structure, his hair was scattered giving him this boyish look and his sea-blue eyes were glowing across the room, he was so superficial.I felt the urge to approach him but I was too scared that what would happen earlier would happen again, but still, I wanted to meet him, this was a party people hardly snub people at parties.But if I met him what would I say to him? My mind was blank and if I just approached him without saying anything, that would be very awkward.Even approaching him will be awkward, it would make me look so desperate.I decided not to meet him again when I saw two girls approach him. I laughed, I knew that he won't even look their way not to talk of speaking with them. But to my dismay, he spoke with them and even began having a conversation with them.I felt anger surging up in me. Why wasn't he ignoring them like he did to me?One of the girls ran her fingers on him and I felt angry that she did that and I didn't know why. The other girl started coming closer to him...I couldn't watch this, I quickly turned and I lowered my head.Why Luke of all people?I felt so bad that he ignored me earlier today and then he answered those girls, I felt like I was nobody. I wasn't that attractive and this was how I have been treated throughout my life.Sigh"Hey there," a masculine voice slurred behind me.I turned and I saw a guy with a bottle of beer firmly gripped in his left hand while his other hand was raking his hair."Hi," I said. I didn't care whether he could hear me or not over the extremely loud music playing, I would not have answered him if I had something to do, but I was lonely that was why I answered him. Emily was on the dance floor dancing out her life and maybe drinking her fourth bottle of beer now.Sigh.I knew that he was just like other boys who came to the club and get wasted and tried wooing a girl but end up making a fool of themselves. But, no doubt he was good looking that was why I answered him."What is your name, milady?" He came so close that our lips were just inches apart from each other. His breath smelled of alcohol. He moved his head up and down examining every inch of me.Was he scanning me?Our eyes met, his forest-green eyes stared back at me. He was so beautiful... beautiful? Emily had to see this guy, no, I don't think that would be a great idea, she would eat him raw like a chocolate if she met him."Is anything wrong Mi Belle?" He noticed my recent reactions and sensed that something was wrong.He wasn't drunk he was tipsy. I guess."No-no no-thing is wrong," I stammered and adjusted myself so that it would seem that everything was okay. But not a single thing was okay when he was in my proximity."If you say so, I'm glad everything is ok. So what's your name?"My name? I shouldn't be giving my name to strangers right?"I am Dakota by name," I told him and grabbed the bar counter behind me to support me so that I wouldn't fall.Why was he this close?And who was he?'Some things were so beautiful that when you see them, they would throw you off balance' he was the perfect example of that statement.My legs were wobbling underneath me, I don't think I would last a second if he stayed this close."An ugly name for a princess like you." He scoffed and at the same time praised me.Really?I was angry about his io remark about my name but I let slide when I remembered that he was half drunk, if he wasn't I should have slapped him till he begged for his life. But, I couldn't imagine ruining his beautiful face."I'll call you mi belle, Belle in French means beauty."Hey, I know that. "You are a paragon of beauty." My cheeks flushed and turned bright red. Why I'm I blushing? He doesn't mean what he said, he was drunk for goodness sake, Cruise.Gosh, I should stop drooling over fine boys."Thank you." That was the best answer I could think of."Could we go on a date tomorrow?" He asked and pulled a bar stool and sat beside me.His already asking me out on a date? He was so confident.I sighed."Is it not early for that? I barely know you," I said sheepishly and he chuckled."Nothing is too early when it comes to you, mi belle, I can take you right now, right here." I shrugged, he sounded like an obvious playboy. I was still pondering whether I should give accept or not. "I barely know you too, mi Belle. I want to know you the more." He smirked.Quite convincing."But—" he held his index finger against my lips.I froze. My brain cells stopped working and what I could think of was how wonderfully chiselled his jawline was."No need to be scared, I don't bite," he said with a grin on his face.He was a stranger and yet I didn't feel uncomfortable around him...who was he? And what does he want from me?"I think I will be taking my leave now," he said and turned around. "I'm Justin Lemon, by the way," He told me and I giggled slightly, he had the name of a fruit. "Nice name," I said smirking and he chuckled."I know, I get that a lot," he said and I smiled, we'd just known each other for barely ten minutes and it felt like I'd known him for long. "What department are you in?" I asked and he ran his hand through his hair. "Criminology," he told me and I became surprised, he didn't look like it, he looked like he was in the pharmacy department--that was the den of hot boys, while in the criminology department only geeks and bookworms type of boys that were there. "That's nice, what level are you cause this is the first time I am seeing you here?" I did not know everyone in school but I was familiar with most students' faces, and I had never seen his face before."300 and I'm a transfer student." He was on the same level as I am! He was a transfer student just like Luke! But he was m
I woke up with the sun rays streaming through my room window. I blink rapidly and use my hand to cover my eyes from the brilliance of the sun.My head ached badly, I couldn't fully remember how I got here. All I could remember was that I was with someone last night and the person drove me here. Or was it a dream?No, it felt too real to be a dream.Who was I with?Justin Lemon, yes I was with Justin, the hot guy with a Spanish accent that has the name of a fruit."Justin!" I shouted and looked around hoping that he was there. Then I noticed a piece of neatly folded paper tucked by the side of my bed. I hurriedly picked the paper up, I knew there was an important message in the paper.I unfolded the paper. Just as I thought it was an important message-it was a note from Justin! It reads:I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye before I left. You were so fast asleep that I didn't want to disrupt your sleep. See ya later, my sleeping mi Belle. ~Justin.I couldn't remember falling asleep in his
Emily?" I whispered. "I have great news for you." I was eager to tell Emily how Luke stared at me for some seconds.She turned to me and I was as ready as possible to break the news to her. She perceived that it was not something of great importance and stared away quickly. I frowned."Emily this is urgent," I persisted and her eyebrows furrowed."For goodness sake, Cruise, we are in a lecture session.""I know, but this is very urgent," I pushed on and she rolled her eyes, right now my brain couldn't process whether what I was doing was sensible or not. "Ok fine." She finally gave up, she turned to me again and asked, "What is it?"I straightened myself for the hundredth time."It's Luke," I said giggling and my cheeks began turning red."Yes, what happened to him, did he die?" She asked bluntly."No, no he did not die, I won't be happy if he died," I said honestly and she rolled her eyes."I'll be happy if he did so that you can let me be for a damn second," she said through her
He stared at me, surprised, he never expected me to do this, he didn't know that I was this crazy, even though he towered above me and I had to stand on my toes before I reached his collar, I wasn't scared.He frowned and glared at me. I rolled my eyes while still holding his shirt."I won't leave unless you say something," I told him with my eyes shut, I knew that this was stupid and outrageous, and I was going to be overwhelmed with embarrassment, but I didn't care.The hall was rowdy and I thank God for that, everyone was busy and didn't notice the little drama that was going on between Luke and me."Talking to you is not necessary," Luke said with his voice as cold as the North Pole. His voice was quite deep and his American accent sounded heavenly. My grip became weak and Luke removed my hands from his shirt."I have finally talked to you, I've done my part now it's your turn," he brought out his homework and threw it at me, "submit my homework you annoying pest." He said through
I woke up and began preparing for school. I checked my phone and I saw a text from Justin, I smiled and opened it.Justin: "Buenos Dias, Mi belle"I smiled and replied to his greeting. Justin was one of the nicest guys I have ever met, he was funny and very interesting, he liked watching criminal documentary shows and he normally tells me some of the very interesting and scary ones he has watched. I imagined him becoming a very super hot detective.I checked what today was and it was Friday, today was a special day, it was the semester's cup finals and Luke's Team and Justin's Team were playing against each other. I was so excited about the match. I didn't like football so much, but I badly wanted to see Luke and Justin play against each other. Those two were like enemies and they always competed against each other. Some days while I was with Justin we normally ran into Luke, and the air surrounding us changed, the look on their faces whenever they crossed paths showed the hatred they
The second half began and I had high hopes for Justin and his team, they were going to win, there was no way Luke was going to win! Well, I didn't want Luke to win because I disliked him and I preferred Justin who was nice and friendly to him.The players came out and I began shouting Justin's name. He turned my way and he was able to spot me in the crowd, he blew me a kiss and winked at me. My cheeks became red like tomatoes and I felt butterflies in my stomach. When I turned around I saw many girls sitting beside and behind me reacting the same way I did after Justin blew me a kiss. I frowned but quickly smiled, I didn't want anything to ruin today for me.This was the best day ever, I regretted not watching football throughout my life, if I had known I would have viewed football differently.The match began and Justin's team started nicely. Justin got the ball and headed towards the goal net of the opposing team, he dribbled past the defenders and passed to one of his teammates.Jus
LUKE POVAfter the football match, I returned to my horrific apartment which was just a bedroom flat in a really bad shape, I couldn't stand people following me wherever I went, that's why I always left school early. Every time Luke can you go out with me? Luke, can you be my friend? Luke, can I have your number? Luke, can I have your I*******m handle? Luke this Luke that...Luke doesn't care about all of you or anything else. I punched the walls and my hands went through them and I shook my head when I saw that the wall was almost falling because I have punched too many holes into them.I really need to work on my temper. I pulled my shirt and picked up my phone, I don't know why X hasn't called me up till now, I wanted to know what my mission is, I wanted to accomplish it and leave this forsaken place and school. I called X and she picked up the call immediately. "Hello pretty, boy," she said with a flirtatious voice and I frowned."Screw you, X," I said through my teeth and she gi
Luke's Pov. I couldn't sleep throughout the night, the voice of that girl kept on ringing in my head. It was so frustrating, no matter how much liquor I drank it wouldn't get her voice out of my head. The sun began to rise and I rolled out of my bed, I had lectures today so I had to go to school. I scanned the whole room with my eyes and then headed to the shower. I wasn't fully mechanical, most of my human organs were still intact, and I still looked very much like a human. But what made me look outlandish was the shiny blue core on my chest, which was my power core. It was a Nuclear reactor and it give power and sustained the robotic parts of my body, without it, I won't be able to live.I put on a black plain T-shirt and black jeans trousers. I checked the time on my wristwatch and it was almost 9:00 am, and my classes were starting by 9."I guess I won't be using the taxi to get to school," I muttered to myself and flew out of the window. I made sure nobody saw me as I fly in th
