The Locket, Chapter Two

Young girl finds out shes a fairy

Getting to know

    “OMG! Tyler!” Lassie ran up to him and they hugged. I walked over to get the rackets and Zac walked up to me.
“You didn’t call last night.” He said in a semi sad voice.
“I was starting to think you don’t care.”
“I had to work on my dress.”
“That’s right I forgot that you were making your dress.” He said with his cocky smile back on his face.
    When we got the rackets and got to our court when Lassie says,
“I call being on Tyler’s team!” Tyler had a big grin on his face as his cheeks got a redish tinge to them. Zac laughed a little beside me.
“That means I’m on your team, Lilly.” Great, just great.

    As we were playing Mr. Johnston told us and couple of other groups to go outside and play volleyball.
    As always the weather is always nice, it’s a good thing that Lassie and I are wearing short shorts and tang tops.
    
    Tyler grabbed a volleyball and jogged back to us.
Once he got back he gave the ball to Lassie then he took off his shirt. And just so you know Tyler looks really good without his shirt, like I mean really good. I turned to see what Lassie would say, and sure enough she had her eyes all over him. I let out a small sigh.
    “What?” She asked.
“Oh, nothing.” And I laughed.

    About 10 minutes through the game Zac ran to the side of the court and he also took off his shirt off.
And as he ran back to stand beside me, sweat ran down his face and his amazing abs (abs! Just like in my dream!).

     I have never seen anyone like him, other than in my dream last night.

    After gym I went to my locker to put my stuff away, Lassie came up to me.
“Did you see how amazing Zac looks?” She asked.
“I didn’t really notice.” That was a sad lie. She looked at me in a funny way, she said bye then walked away.

    On my way home a black car pulls up beside me, the window rolls down and a formulary deep voice comes out, it was Zac.
    “Are you going to call before the dance or what?”
“Why do you want me to call you anyway?”
“You said you don’t know me, and now you are. So hop in.” I looked at him in disbelief.
“Are you coming or not?”     
“My mom will be home soon and yeah.” And again bad lie.
“Right, then I could come go to your place and do some homework”.
“We could do that.” He gave me a his cocky smile.
“Then hop in, I’ll drive you there.” I went up to the car opened the door and sat down.
    “So where do you live?” I told him how to get there and the whole way no one talked.
    When we got to my place I got out and started walking up the side walk.

     “Are you mad at me or something?” He asked me suddenly.
“Why would I be mad?”     
“I don’t know. It’s just the way your acting.”
“I’m not, I just don’t know why you want to get to know me. No one really likes me, Lassie is my only friend.” I hate admitting it but it’s true.
    “Well I will be your friend too if you give me a chance.” He said once we got to the door.
“That’s really nice of you.”
“Just don’t tell anyone, alright.” He said with a cocky smile. And I couldn’t help but smile up at him.

    I opened the door and walked in. Zac put his jacket on the back of the couch.
“Nice place.”
“Thanks.” I sat on the floor and I took out my math text book and put it on the coffee table.
“What are you doing?” He asked, I looked up at him.
“Making it look we’re doing homework, so when my mom gets home I won’t get in trouble.”
“Good idea.” Then he sat down beside me and pulled out some paper from my binder. “Now it’s time to get know me.” He smiled, and leaned back ageist the couch.

    “Okay, first my favorite colour is black, my favorite animal is a horse, and I have a black horse named Shamrock.” He said with a laugh, I kind of smacked him (playfully).
“What?” He asked in a playful way.
“I don’t really care about that stuff. Where are you from?” He looked down then back up.
“Silver wood.” I have heard that from somewhere but where? He looked at me.
“I’m not crazy, I’m really from there.”
“Not to sound crazy either but that place ‘Silver wood’ I think I have heard that from somewhere. A dream maybe?” He looked at in me in the eye. And he leaned forward towards me.
“I don’t doubt that.”
“What do you mean?”
 “Uh. Well… Uh…I want to tell you but I just can’t. Not yet.” He leaned back again, sigh.
“Okay. Uh do you have a sister or a brother?” I asked.
“I have a sister named Bellis Perennis it means wild daisy, but I just call her Bell. She looks like me other then the eyes, their almost purple.”
“How old is she?” He smiled at the thought of her. I haven’t seen him smile like that before.
“12.” He grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and started drawing a picture of a girl. She had long hair and dark eyes. Her face was similar to Zac’s.
    “This is what she looks like. She is everything to me, but she isn’t here.”  Just the way he said that I knew he meant it.
“Where is she. If you don’t mind me asking.” I asked wishing I didn’t.
“She’s still in Silver wood.”
“Oh I see”.

    The next hour I would ask him questions and he would ask questions. And finally my mom walks in the front door.
“Oh, hello. Who are you?” Zac stood up.
“My name is Zac. I’m tutoring Lilly in math.” That’s a good lie I guess. My mom looked at me then back at Zac.
“Well it’s nice to have you here.”
Zac sat back down started to write some math questions down.     When my mom left the room he stopped.
“Now you know me and I know you. Will you go to the dance with me?” I sat their looking at him not really ready to answer.
“Okay, why not?” He finally asked.
“Zac are you staying for supper?” My mom asked. I wonder if she hard us?
“No, I got to get home. See you tomorrow Lilly.” He grabbed his jacket and left.
“You’re failing math?” I’m really good at math.
“A little but it won’t happen again” I said as I put my hands in the air.
“Okay. Let’s eat then.”

    After supper I went to me room and finished my dress, it looks just like the one in my dream.

    At school the next day I saw Zac smiling at me as some of his friends were talking about girls and what not. I found Lassie skipping towards me.
“So did you call him yet?”
“You’re not going to stop asking if I don’t, are you?”
“Nope. So did you?”
“No. But he came over last light and we talked.” Her mouth dropped.
“He came over to your house last night!” Can she be any louder?
“Yeah, and now I got to go to my class, see you.” Then I went to me first class.

    During lunch, Zac came up to me and picked me up by my legs and walked out the front doors of the school.
“Where are you taking me!”
“For a walk I really do enjoy walks.”
I was kicking him and yelling.
“Put me down!” and “Let me go!”
“Alright.” He said.

    He put me down in the middle of the field. And before I could run back to the school he threw his arms around me and forced me to keep walking with him. Great.

    After a while a group of guys, that think they’re so cool. One of then I think his name is Samm, he has short blond hair and wears his pants down really low so you can see his underwear. That so stupid. And I think another one is named Ryan, he has longer brown hair with a hat and he also wears his pants down low. And the other two guys I don’t know at all.
    “Where are you going?” Asked Samm.
“Going for a walk.” I looked up at Zac and he looks down at me and I hope he can read my eyes because they were saying. ‘Why are we here?’ He looked back at Samm and said.
“Lilly and I haven’t had lunch so we’ll just go back inside.” Zac started to walk away but Ryan grabbed his shoulder.
    “Not so fast. Where do you think you’re going?” He asked (he‘s not really smart). Ryan looked at me and when he did the wind changed and I could smell beer and smoke coming from him and Samm and the other two guys. “We should really get inside.” I said in a small voice. Samm pulled me out of Zac’s arms and lifted me by my hips. “I don’t care.” He said in a harsh was. Before I could say anything Zac punches Samm in the face and as I fall to the ground. “Yeah but I do!” Zac said. Zac pulled me up to my feet. “Let’s go back inside now.” I nodded and followed him to the school.
    Once we got inside the bell rang.
“Do you want to go see a movie tonight?” He asked randomly.
“I would like to but I don’t know if my mom will let me.” I’m hoping she won’t.
“Do you have a cell phone?” He asked, I nodded
“Then call her after school and ask.”
“Only if you buy everything.”
 He looked at me and gave me a his cocky smile but nodded then walked away.

    On my way to my next class Lassie found me and she asked.
“Did you finish your dress? The dance is tomorrow.”
“Oh yeah I’m done it.”
“Oh I almost forgot. What do you want for you birthday?”
“A book, and surprise me.” She smiled and walked away.

    When I got to my soical class, I was sitting in my desk and doodling and when the class was done I looked down and saw a bunch of hearts and in the middle of the page it had Zac’s name. I quickly covered it before anyone could read it. Great I was starting to like him.

    I walked to gym class and saw Lassie sitting beside Tyler and on the other side of Tyler was Zac.
    I sat beside Lassie and then Zac stood up and sat right back down beside me
“Don’t for get to call.” He whispered in my ear.
“I won’t.” Why! I screamed inside my head.

    Mr. Johnston came in the gym.
“Who cares about life?! I don’t! And I don’t need to spend my life with her!”
    Here we go again. Every time Mr. Johnston goes on a date and gets dumped he comes to school and let’s everyone know about it.
