First Day With Lucas

Chapter Fourteen 

Andy and I are patiently waiting in the Principal's office. It's our first day to help and tutor lessons with Lucas and Selena. This is how special they are, we need to wait for them for an hour. I want to use my magic to stop the clock so that I can no longer meet Lucas today. 

 Finally, the door opens and I see Lucas and Selena enter the Principal's office. He smiles at me when he sees me seated on the right side of this room next to Andy. How does he feel close to me? It started on the night of the Prom when he danced with me. After that night I feel Lucas wants to be close to me, but, no, it will never happen and, other than that I can't stare at him for so long. 

"Good morning everyone." Mrs. Gray greeted us. 

Mr. Badeau is on the left side standing next to Mrs. Gray. He smiled at us and felt so confident in both of us. 

"I gathered all of you here for the announcement and task each of you will be doing." Mr. Badeau stated his concern. 

"Mr. Anderson and Ms. Smith, Andy and Thana will be the ones who will help you to make it to the final so I am counting your cooperation on each of you." 

Selena looks too kind and shy. She is so quiet and smiles a little to Andy and me, while Lucas has an attitude of being so arrogant and blunt. I am hoping that we will get along, I will try to act normal and I would forget the night when I saw him all naked, then everything with me will be alright and yes, I can make it because I am a witch and he doesn't know it and nobody knows, so I should use my magic power over him if he doesn't cooperate with me. 

Yes, a bright idea. 

Afterwards, we went to our class and later in the afternoon I will be starting to tutor Lucas on all the lessons that he didn't catch up on, I hope he will listen to the lessons today so it wouldn't hard for me and besides how can I tell this to my mother especially to my GrandMa. I just exhale. My heart beats fast as I think I will meet Lucas and be with him for a long time. I stared at the clock hanging on the wall as it seemed I heard its seconds every minute that passed by brought a strange thrill to me. 

After my last classes, I walk towards the library. I will meet Lucas and today is the first day to lecture him about all the lessons that he didn't catch up with. This is the beginning of my daily life. From where I stand I can see him patiently waiting. He smiles when he sees me coming. I slowed down, even more, I couldn't face him. Why can't I forget that night? Should I need to use my magic to stop the hour and let all the people and everything freeze. 

"Hi."

He greeted me as I reached him, I just smiled at him and walked toward the library. I think this is the best place to lecture him, not too crowded, no more people gossiping and that is all that we needed to be silent. 

"Have a seat," I command him. 

"Open your book on page 51 and read the chapter of the lesson, then I will ask you some questions if you are done reading. He was smiling while he opened the book. I don't even know if there is anything about what I have said. 

" What is funny? " I bluntly asked him. 

"Nothing, you are just too serious, can't give us ourselves a break… Come-on we both just had finished our class. Why don't we have some snacks? Fifteen minutes break…"

"No, every second is important to me, so I don't need to waste every single minute of the day." 

Okay… Okay... You are so serious, you are funny. "

I'm getting caught up in what Lucas says. What does he think we're doing? Is it just a game? I am trying to avoid looking at him. There's a moment he took a glance at me and smiled. Is he trying to be friendly or what? I avoid his eyes, I don't want to remember that night when I visit him in his house. 

"Are you done?"

"No, I have not done it yet." 

"Then, why don't you concentrate on what you are doing?" I told him angrily. 

Lucas closed the book and stared at me intently. 

"Hmmm… Don't you like me? All the girls here want me to be their boyfriend. 

I just looked at him with my naked eye. I scanned his personality. I am trying to read his mind but at that moment I do that I could remember the night when I saw him naked. Oh, my what is happening to me. I can't concentrate on using my magic. I stood in my seat and picked all my belongings.

"Where are you going? We are not done yet." 

"If you are not being serious about this I am free to walk away, it is not my problem if you can't make it on the final." 

"Oh, I am sorry, I am trying to be nice to you." I just stared at him and put my belongings on the table. 

"And… Another thing that you should remember." 

"Okay, I am listening." 

"Don't fall in love with me." 

Lucas just stared at me and laughed out loud. 

"You are so funny… Ha ha ha… Of course, I won't, you are not my type." 

I suddenly felt sad by what Lucas said but why I felt that? I went back to my seat and continued reading and so did Lucas. The good thing about this is I will not be worried that he will flirt with me just like he does to the other girls of the St. Claire Academy and I am a witch I am forbidden to love immortal. Oh, what am I thinking? How is it possible that he will like me? I am overreacting and yes Lucas likes girls who are pretty and well-fashioned. 

After he reads the chapter I prepared a questionnaire for him just to know that he understands and if it is remaining in his head all he has read. I am impressed he answered correctly all the questionnaires I prepared for him. I don't know if his brain is empty or if he is just too lazy to study, I mean he is able to catch the chapter he reads. What's up with this guy? Sometimes he yawns and just looks at his watch. Does he have something important to do or does he want to go home? 

It was already past 7:00 in the evening when we end up our tutorial classes all the buildings of the school are closed and the only thing that gives light is the lamp located near the campus gate. Lucas hurriedly picks up his things and walks away. I left alone in the library and hurriedly went out and walks towards the gate of the campus. It's the first day with Lucas for a long time. Well, not bad. He may be arrogant, but then he acts a little kind in his personality. I am hoping that it will end soon.

I can't even practice my magic power, it's a long day for me and I feel too sleepy. Few students go out of the campus at the same time, I walk with them up to the highway and on the road. Until I get to the place with many trees. I hardly see any more students walking at this time. There were private cars that pass along and give me a signal light at a time, I keep walking and doesn't care and apologise for not riding in the vehicle passerby along the way, maybe their intention is good, but I kept always in my mind of what my Grandmother said to stay away with the people. Our place is just two blocks away on my way towards our home. 

I feel the negative energy. To my astonishment, I saw a man with fangs and his eyes are sharp and burning like a fire, his eyes staring at me looking too furious and with anger in his looks. I suddenly opened my eyes because I felt so frightened I gasped on my breath and the fear engulfed my entire body, then suddenly someone was holding my hand and I calmed down a bit when I saw that Mia was holding me. 

"You startled me." 

"Come with me, we need to get away from this place." 

"Why?" as I questioned her to my surprise. 

She suddenly grasps my hands and takes me away to that place without answering me.
