C3 Meeting Lucien

After Nicolette and Freya left, everyone started openly pointing and gossiping about me, am sure my attitude surprised them, it's even surprising for me, I have even met someone who makes me uncomfortable like Nicolette does, neither am a rude person, but something about her don't sit well with me.

'Are you alright? Why would you turn down Nicolette invitation?' Janet asks me.

'Should there be any other reason aside because I want to?'

'I believe now that you are strange indeed.'

'Excuse me' I said I stood up to go to the toilet.

When I get to the restroom, while rinsing my face I notice blood trickles down my nose, I stare in shock at it, at my sixth sense told me Nicolette is the cause even if it sounds strange to me. On way going out, I bumped into a girl, she looked at my bleeding nose and gasped.

'My advise is that you be careful about people you piss off, you just made yourself an enemy. I hope you survive. She left without waiting for me to reply.

After lunch the day was fast to go by, I went to the diner Mrs. Jackson owns, after promising to meet both Linda and Janet to see a movie together. We quick became friends even though they kept questioning my earlier actions.

There are not many people in the diner, so we had time for a chat.

Mrs. Jackson asks me how my day was.

''My day was better than I expected'

'I heard Nicole invited you for dinner at her home tonight.'

'Yes' I replied even though I am shocked that she already knew, the people in this town gossip a lot.

'Why did you refuse get invitation?'

I sign before answering. 'It is because there is something strange about her. I just don't like her.'

''As expected'

'What do you mean as expected?'

The beds jingles indicating that someone had entered. Mrs. Jackson's attentions goes to the people coming in.

''Good day, Martha'' I turn to look at the person that got Mrs. Jackson excited and I became shocked, being as handsome as the guy should be illegal. He is a tall, light skinned guy with black curly hair that makes him cute at the same time dangerous. I instantly became attracted which is so unlike me.

'Lucien!' Mrs. Jackson exclaimed, she looks excited like she was some she is very fond of..

Wait what? Lucien? As in Lucien Thorne, the bad boy of the school? The twin of Nicolette, the person I made enemy with, oh! Kill me!'

I notice he is with another guy who is handsome but is nothing compared to Lucien, I guess that's Daniel. I am really thankful for Linda's supply of information, it gives me the upper hand. After Mrs. Jackson, Lucien and Daniel exchange pleasantries, they are turned to me.

'Lucien I want you to met my ward, Sliver I took over her responsibilities when her grandmother a good friend of mine died, may her soul rest in peace. And Sliver, this is Lucien, my godson. I notice that Lucien was staring at me strangely throughout the conversation like she was something he doesn't like, it is possible he heard what happened between I and his twin sister.

'Nice to me you' I said for the sake of Mrs. Jackson still staring at Lucien who was staring at me. Daniel coughs, that it caught both our attention. Then I notice that both Mrs. Jackson and Daniel was watching us stare at ourselves.

'And this is Daniel, Lucien best friend and also my godson.'

'it is an honor to meet the person that turn down the princess Nicolette' Daniel says not even bothering to hide his mischievous smile, so it means I am right Lucien knows what I did to his sister and he is annoyed with me. I felt a pang in my chest at the probability of Lucien annoyed with me, which annoys me because why do I care what he thinks of me.

Lucien immediately leave to sit down, while Daniel orders for the both of them, they didn't order much like regular guys does, and it is something I notice I school also most student are so little during lunch while some didn't eat at all. I wonder why?

Lucien and Daniel chatted quietly among themselves as they eat, but Daniel talks more. My eyes kept going to Lucien, even without meaning to. After they are done eating, and left the diner I immediately feel lonely and alone, what's wrong with me.

'I noticed you kept looking at Lucien' Mrs. Jackson says.

'Was I, didn't notice.' I said while pretending to be busy.

'Lucien may be my god son, but I want you to stay away from him.'

I looked at her weirdly. 'I never plan on being close to him'

'Sliver, I notice you were attracted to him, you may just started living with me but, I watched you grow up. I know you, it is for you own good if you don't fall for me, because you will regret it. Mrs. Jackson said worriedly.

I was very quiet for the rest of the day, I kept trying to figure out the reason Mrs. Jackson would say I should I would regret been attracted to Lucien. Is he a player, he looks like one but I am not sure because looks can be deceiving. Is it that he don't date ladies or don't date at all. Mrs. Jackson advise made me more curious to know everything about him.

I had forgotten of the plans I made with Linda and Janet until they came into the diner. After greeting Mrs. Jackson, by her first name Martha, it seems everyone in town calls he that except me, it is because I grew up calling her Mrs. Jackson. I tell her of own plans and she agrees to it but told me to be back by 10.

I can use this opportunity to question both Linda and Janet about Lucien, because I am really curious about him.
