WHAT WERE Y*U THINKING?

hello guys.

enjoy,

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

LIZZY’S POV

After giving him a mini tour round the big building, we got to the administrator’s office which was also in the building.

He needed to get his schedule and timetable from there anyways.

“this is it.”

I said and gave the door a slight knock before entering.

Once we walked in, Mrs Tori looked up from her pile of documents staring at us from under her glasses. She calls herself my biggest fan and I cannot possibly count the amounts of autographs I have given her.

“Hi Tori, my friend here wants to get his schedule, he did not get his e-mailed to him.”

She beamed with smile as she stared at me before turning to Noah and then nodding as if remembering who she was dealing with.

“Mr. Kings?”

She asked unsure but she got it correct.

“yes ma’am.”

“welcome to the royals. You transferred late so you were not part of the students who got their timetable made on time. But I think I have it here. Once we heard you were transferring, we made yours too.”

She can so talk but I did not say that.

She opened one of her drawers and pulled out a document. After getting it out she stretched it to Noah.

“here this is it. Your locker number is there. Your changing room locker number is also there. All the information you need is there.”

“thank you.”

“you welcome.”

We turned to walk out; the bell could ring any moment from now. And I would not like to be late for my second class.

My first class’ teacher called in sick so I used that chance to give Noah the little tour and also brought him here to get his schedule.

Halfway to the door I heard a squeal.

Someone tell me this is not happening.

“Lizzy, I watched your new movie and I so loved it. You looked like an angel as always. My young niece is such a big fan. Do you mind an autograph?”

Her young niece? I wonder how many she has because I keep on signing for them.

I faked a smile and walked back to her table, grabbing the pen and signing the autograph on a handkerchief.

Once I was done, I handed it back to her with the fake smile still on my face but once I saw how she grinned my annoyance flew away, and I found myself smiling back before turning to walk out with Noah.

I blame my mum for such weak and kind heart.

After the whole autograph session, I walked out of the office with Noah behind me.

He was smiling at me, smiling not smirking. Well that was a first.

“why are you smiling at me like that?”

I asked confused under his gaze.

“I caught you.”

I got more confused and that got me raising my eyebrow.

“what?”

“I caught you covering your frown under a smile.”

I shifted my gaze; well he was definitely staring throughout so I guess it was not that kind of surprising that he would notice that.

Except from this question,

Why was he staring?

“I get tired you know; all this paparazzi lifestyle feels choking at some point.”

“do you regret doing all what you are doing now?”

I chuckled; I did all this right from the start of my life. Right until some moments, it feels quite normal to me, it feels like the normal type of normal.

But slowly I realized it is not normal for a journalist to be on your tail. For normal people to listen to every word, you say during an interview to check maybe you will make a mistake or slip off.

For them to criticize every cloth you wear, how you talk, who you talk too. Where you go to?

“I did not have a choice. So, I am not sure I regret making a choice I did not make. Anyway, let us see your schedule.”

I collected the documents from and brought out the timetable copy. I went through it all and we had a very similar timetable aside from on Friday and some other periods.

“we have the same subjects every day except from Friday where I have acting class while you have physical education. And some other few subjects like that.”

“wow, such a coincidence.”

“I know right.”

I said with a grin and gave him back his copy. He collected it and placed it back inside the file.

“Your best friend and your best friend, are they an actor or actress?”

I paused and stared at him wide eyed. How could he not know them? The both of them or one of them?

Where did he move from?

“you do not know them?”

“yes.”

He said nodding.

“you do not know the mystery bands?”

“I do.”

“Pete is their main singer.”

“that is a big lie.”

He exclaimed making me chuckle.

“I honestly did not know.”

“yeah, I figured out. Olivia sings under the name Liv. Pete and I are the only ones who calls her that before but now everyone knows Liv.”

“wow no one is actually normal here.”

“like I said being here together makes it seems more normal. But no one is an average kid here.”

“figured that out now.”

We were walking down the senior’s hall now with lots of lockers on the wall and their owners going through them or arranging it.

As we walked to the next class, calculus, the whole crowd parted making Noah smirk from beside me.

“wow, so you have such a reputation here.”

I guess he wanted to ask but later decided to change it to a statement seeing as how the whole crowd still part ways.

“yeah, I am part of those in the high ladder.”

Being an actress, a model and a future CEO, yeah.

Still walking down, the hall my eyes caught Shawn King the bad boy with his girlfriend in his arm looking like they just made out against their locker once again.

But he was staring mouth opened at me, we know each other, we sit together during lunch, so I am sure it was not me he was looking at like that.

And that left only one person, I turned to my side and Noah was smirking at Shawn.

Wait, hold on a minute.

Shawn King, Noah King. Something is familiar there.

Their names, their surname is the same. They were cousins. Shawn was the one who recommended the royals to Noah according to what he told me.

This is so ……… I do not even know what to say than I was a fool for not summing things up together.

“Is that Noah?”

Shawn asked surprised making Noah chuckle,

“no dude, it is his twin.”

He walked closer to him and they did that bro hug stuff.

Shawn was taller, had a little more biceps than Noah and looked more manly that him too.

Noah had this babyish face that just made him so cute with that eyes, that killer eyes. I looked at Shawn’s eyes but his was just blue, a light blue, the color of the sea.

“hello Chloe.”

He greeted Chloe and gave her a quick hug; they seem to know each other but that was not surprising since she and Shawn has been dating for close to two years now.

She had him wrapped around her fingers and he was slowly losing his title as bad boy. Back in the days, Shawn was always in the detention room for fighting, for smoking, and other typical bad boy stuffs.

But one day, he came to school with Chloe and all that reduced.

I tried to do that with a boy too and look where and what that got me. Heartbroken and trust issues.

“hey Lizzy.”

I heard a feminine voice bringing me out of my thoughts.

It was Chloe, she was not really my friend, I had few people as friends here but also everyone as friends.

“hey, how was your summer holiday?”

“it was great.”

She replied with a smile. She was dressed in the same color code.

Her deep red hair made her look really good in the outfit.

And her smile, she was really beautiful, and I could see how she got Shawn wrapped around her fingers.

She has always been so beautiful and kind.

“long time no see Noah.”

Shawn said with a smile, first time I was seeing him without a smirk except when he was with Chloe of course.

“I saw you last month and you got my ass transferred here.”

Shawn just chuckled at the annoyance in his voice leaving me more surprised. Do not blame me, we have been seating on the table for years and this was time seeing him chuckle.

“don’t you like it here?’

“I am getting to like it here but I like this person here already.”

Which person?

I got my answer when he placed his arms round my shoulder.

Oh, I am the person!

did he just say like this person; me?

Chloe’s face filled with surprise could not march mine, mine was on a whole new level.

‘Boys don’t do good Lizzy.’

My annoying subconscious reminded me slowly spoiling my mood because I knew her plan. To remind me what happened?

‘Just let me enjoy this moment’

I said back or more like pleaded.

‘what happened the last time you did that?’

Shit!

She just had to ask that right?

The sound of the bell brought me back to reality.

“Noah, we have to go.”

“oh, see you during lunch then.”

“no, just go.”

“God, Chloe how do you cope with this dude?”

He asked annoyed but he did not get a reply because I literally pulled him away from there with my tiny hands in his.

“what was that about?”

I asked, the look on his face showed that   he knew what I was talking about, but he decided to act innocent like he did not just drop fireworks in my heart.

“what?”

He should drop the act.

“what you said back there.”

he nodded finally dropping the act.

My heart was beating so fast, I am sure if not because of some students walking around he would be hearing it. That was how fast and loud it was beating. But I covered it up with a smile, a nonchalant one.

“I like you as my friend, you are my first friend here. What were you thinking?”

If that did not just break my heart, I would probably me lying.

Shit!

What was I thinking?

what was she thinking?

lol,

thanks for reading.
