Chapter 2 - The Library

Zach Mikaels

I watched as she pulled the bento boxes out of her locker. My eyes wandered down her body. Why hadn’t I ever noticed how beautiful she was? The dark chocolate brown hair that always hid her scars. The way her hips swayed side to side with each step she took. And her legs. Gosh did she have legs for days. Long tan legs that had a nice athletic body to go with it, along with a drop-dead gorgeous face that had full lips, a tiny nose, and dark almond shaped eyes. Sinclair was the epitome of sin. Especially lust, which was clouding my head full of thoughts about her.

She kicked the locker close and I spun around fast, banging my head against the wall. Jesus were these thoughts killing me. I couldn’t let her find out about me wanting her so much.

“Zach?”

I spun back around to look at her only to find her having been right behind me. I gulped as I looked into her onyx eyes. I was lost. I was so captivated by her eyes and beauty I didn’t hear her next question. I felt a punch go to my gut, waking me from my  lecherous thoughts.

“Yes?” I coughed.

“I asked if you wanted to go to the library and eat lunch.” Sinclair growled, somewhat annoyed, but there was amusement in her question. She caught me.

I groaned and nodded. She was going to kill me for my thoughts later. Nothing was more scary that a woman who knew a man’s weakness, and she happened to have caught me staring intensely at her. She turned and walked towards the library leaving me in her wake. This woman was going to be the death of me one day. I could already tell as I watched her enter the library.

I walked in behind her and found her sitting in one of the far corners of the library. I looked at her as she held out my bento to me. I grabbed it from her and looked at the seat that was beside her. It would definitely be a bad idea for me to sit there. I looked at her sadly and walked away with bento in hand towards the other side of the library. I couldn’t risk sitting beside her without knowing what these feelings were.

I walked with my head down and weaved my way through the aisles of books and tables. The soft glow of the computers shone dimly in the fluorescent lighting of the library. Right now my only wish was to know what these feelings were that I had towards Sin. Along with knowing why I was just now noticing her beauty and why she made me act like a jumbled ball of knots inside.

Sinclair Mikaels

I watched as he walked away. Where is he going? I felt my smile slowly fall as he walked through the aisles of books and tables to the other side of the library. I looked down at my bento and suddenly didn’t feel hungry anymore. The california rolls and onigiri looked like a pile of dirt to me now, and not at all appetizing. Not that it really mattered, but it would have held me over till Zach and I got back home and I could make a “bloody” mary.

I groaned and let my head slam onto the table with a bang. I rolled it slowly to the side and stared out the window to the football field and watched as an ambulance drives away. It must be Drako. I shifted my gaze to watch the clouds muting everything around me. What was wrong with Zach?

“Are you okay?”

I slowly rolled my head to glare at the person standing in front of my table. It was a girl, and from the looks of it, a football bunny. She was pale with bright green eyes and long red hair. I glared as I noticed her physique. Long legs under a gray skirt, and seemed like she had a fit body under her white button up, but it seemed her breasts were too large for the size of the shirt. The girl had to have had b***s for a brain.

“Why are you talking to me?” I growled the question. She should be hating me like the rest of the school since Zach and I seemed to be the special ones.

“Because you seemed upset about something. And from the looks of it,” she looked over to the other side of the library. “I would say it’s boy problems. Want to talk about it?”

She sat down without waiting for permission and I just ignored it. I didn’t want to talk about anything to this chick. One because there was no way I was going to talk to a football bunny, and two because there wasn’t anything to talk about. Boy problems? Please. There was no way that Zach had feelings for me. He never said anything, never seemed to have an interest in me. I raised a brow at her as she watched me. What did this chick really want?

“You know, you should try out for the cheer squad. We’d love to have the new girl join.” She looked at her nails smiling wickedly.

“So you didn’t want to talk about boys. Just wanted to get me to tryout for the squad?” I looked at her incredulously.

She smiled and nodded. Of course that’s all she wanted. I should have figured she was a cheerleader with the way she acted, looked, and walked. If I guessed right, she had to be..

“I’m the captain by the way.”

BINGO!!! There it was. Now why did she really want me to be on the squad? I glared at her. I play her little game, maybe I can find something out. I leaned forward and rested my chin on my hand.

“So what do I need to do to join the squad?” I looked intently into her eyes willing her to slip.

Her smiled widened. Uh-oh. “Come to practice today in last period.” She stands up and flips her hair over her shoulder. “We’ll be on the field.” And with that she walked away.

Oh boy, did I screw up. I had just accepted a tryout without meaning, trying to get this girl to slip up and tell me her secret. My head slips from my hand and lands on the table with a loud bang.

Zach Mikaels

I had found a table in another corner of the library that gave me a view of Sinclair but far enough away to wear she couldn’t cause me do something I shouldn’t. I open my bento and saw the black dragon sushi roll, tofu, and chow mein that Sinclair had fixed me for lunch. There was an onigiri on the side that she had put a little face on. I smirked and shook my head. Sometimes I wondered if she was trying to be cute or if she was being herself when making my lunches.

I began eating and looked up as I heard a loud noise. Sinclair had her head on the table and seemed to be looking out the window. I looked back down and grabbed another sushi roll and realized something. I looked back up and at her bento. She hadn’t touched it. What was wrong? Was she just not hungry? Or was she feeling sick?

I continued to eat slowly as I watched her. The door to the library opened bringing my attention to the girl that was walking towards Sinclair.

“Are you okay?”

Sinclair turned her head towards the girl and all but growled at the chick. I whistled low and my eyes widened as the redhead looked to me. What were they talking about now? I looked down at my bento and noticed that I had stopped eating once the girl had walked in.
