The gang and I were heading on our way to Crossroads High School,
ready for yet another boring day of class. As usual, Serena had to stop at
every sidewalk cafe to pick up breakfast, which consisted of muffins and
doughnuts, plus the occasional ice cream cone. I didn't mind Serena's
constant pigging out or Amy's talk about some foreign subject nobody really
cared about, I just loved having all my friends go to the same school as
me. It was wonderful having the scouts in some of my classes. Freshmen year
was going great so far, especially since Crossroads wasn't an all girls
school.
The group hit the front steps of the school. Amy walked off to go find Greg, so that they could study before school. Serena and Lita ran off after some guy. That left just Mina and I. Mina jabbered on about this guy she meet last night at the local teen dance club, Nightmare, the whole way to our lockers.
" Oh my goodness, Raye! You wouldn't believe it, he was like....so into me. I think I'm going out for dinner with him again tonight."
" That's.....great, Mina. What'd you say his name was?"
" Dom. You'd love him if you met him. Think he said him and a bunch of his buddies got in last night. He's from California, isn't that grand? A real live hottie, here! I just love it!"
" Um....right. Let's head to class so we won't be late again."
" Why we leaving sooooo early? We still got half an hour before class starts?"
" 'Cause of last time! You had to stop and talk to everyone on the way in. Now come on, don't make me wait again."
For a change, we got to English class early today. We took our traditonal seats in the back row. Mrs. Hollow was there already as usual, sipping her coffee and reading some magazine. I took out my books, reading the paged assigned from last night. " Oh, no way! Raye! Raye! Look! It's him!" Mina whispered, shoving me out of my seat. I hit the floor with a thud." You twit! What'd you do that fo..." I began to yell, stopping mid sentence when I realized what she had been talking about. "That's Dom, the one with the blonde hair," she squealed.
Damn, was she ever right. Talking to the teacher were these two guys, both extremely cute. Dom, I assume, had blonde spiked hair (kinda weird looking of a hair style if you ask me), blue eyes,medium height, with a great smile. While he was nice to look at, his friend was what had caught my attention. He was practically the total opposite of Dom. He was tall, had a great golden honey tan, brown hair that hung down in his eyes, and these amazing eyes that were dark green with gold in the middle. The only thing that was weird about him outside of his cuteness was his pants, which were hanging down way too low. I could actually see his boxers. He left me pracitcally breathless.
I must have been staring because he notice me watching him. He smiled and looked me over too. I turned a wonderful shade of red as he turned his attention back to Mrs. Hallow. Mina just laughed when she finally figured out what was going on. " Geez, Raye. Let's not make it obvious okay? Didn' I tell you how hot Dom was?" she managed to say between giggles.
That's when the situation heated up. Dom and my mystery man walked over to us. " Hey, it's Mina! Thought I recognized those giggles," Dom said, while kissing her passionatley on the lips and sitting down on her desk top. " Nice to see you too, Dom. Didn't expect to see you before tonight. Hey Tobias, meet my good friend Raye, she works at Cherry Hill Temple," she said, slipping me a sly glance. That just made me turn even redder.
" Nice to meet you, Raye," he said while extended out his hand. " Pleasures all mine," I replied shaking his hand. Oddly enough, he held on for a few extra seconds, his eyes never leaving mine. For about the twentith time since I first say Tobias, I found myself blushing again.
" So you work at Cherry Hill Temple?"
" I guess you could say that. My grandpa runs it, so I kinda live there. It's more my life than work. Have you...um...been there yet?"
" Not yet, but I definently will after school. Maybe you could show me how to get there?"
" Definently. I mean....sure, it'd be no problem."
" You're definently just as Chad had said you'd be."
" Is that a good thing? On second thought, coming from him it can't be. Wait! You know Chad?"
" Yeah, he's a good friend of mine. He's the one who first offered to let me stay at the temple. Your grandfather quickly agreed to letting me stay since Chad knew me."
" You're staying at the temple?? That's great."
" Class! Attention! Open your books to page twenty seven. For now, Tobias, you can share with Raye and Dom, you can share with Mina."
Class went by way too fast today. For once, I enjoyed English. It was great having Tobias sitting so close next to me. My heart fluttered everytime he caught me glancing at him. I got even more excited just thinking about the walk home. Sure, the scouts will be there, and probally Dom, but Tobias will be there too. I can't say I even remember a word we read from the book. I do remember every aspect of Tobias' face.
