Got a Hold On Me
“Oh? Now why is that?” He asked, taking a seat beside me on the steps.
“This is my first day.” I said simply.
“Freshmen?” he asked with a raised brow.
I shook my head “Sophomore.”
“Sophomore. Nice.” He smiled.
Nice? what did that mean?
“So.” He flashed a flirtatious smile before continuing “Where are you from Jude?”
“Um,” I had to think for a second before answering “California.”
He nodded “Ah, that explains the tan.”
“I guess it would.” i answered quickly hoping to hide my nerves.
“So what brings you all the way out to the east coast?” he adjusted himself before continuing “Surly there are high schools in California.”
I nodded “Yes, but none quite like this one.” I said with more confidence.
He chuckled “You have no idea.”
Curiosity got the best of me “Oh?”
He leaned in closer “But you’ll soon seen.”
I gave him a questioning look but didnt ask.
He pushed himself up from the cold cement steps. Towering over me he bent over and said “Tomorrow there’s this bon fire thing, I want you to go with me.”
I sightly lifted my chin “Um, okay. I guess.”
He smiled lightly and raised an eyebrow “You guess?”.
My heart stopped. Obviously that wasnt the response he was looking for.
“I guess,” he put a little extra emphasis on the word guess “I’ll let that slide” he said with a wink. “I’ll meet you at nine out side of the Lady Gala.” he began to walk away.
Wait i dont even know his…
“By the way, the names Chase.” He said over his shoulder.
She let out a breath, obviously deciding on where to start “Well. Taylor and Chase are similar in a lot of ways. They both come from old money, they live in the same dorm, they…”
I asked without thought “Don’t all Juniors live in the same dorm?”
“No.” she said, looking at me in surprise before clarifying “They’re apart of the Franklin Hall.”
“What’s so special about that?” I asked
She sighed “It’s an invite only dorm. The girls have one too, usually both houses don’t start picking new members till the second week of school.”
“What’s the name of the girls dorm?”
“The Crawford Galla.” she replied with a twinkle in her eye “Anyway, back to Chase.” She adjusted herself on my bed then continued “As I said earlier, him and Taylor are similar in alot of ways. They’re both extremely attractive, they both have money coming out of there ass,” Not exactly a picture i wanted etched into my brain, “They both have this school wrapped around there fingers. Whatever they want they got it. However.” She paused and twisted her lips “Where as Taylor is our residential ‘Bad Boy’, Chase is more of the heart-throb.” Suddenly the whole boy band analysis popped into my head. I tried to keep from laughing. “But dont get me wrong. Chase has broken a few hearts. He’s got into just as much trouble as Taylor actually, maybe more.”
“Okay, so i’m confused”
She laughed “I figured as much, see Taylor has this I dont care attitude. He’ll do and say whatever he wants whenever he wants. With him what you see is basically what you get. Chase on the other hand puts more thought into things.”
I wasnt quite following “What is that suppose to mean?”
“Hmmm,” she put her face in her hands and took a second to respond “Chase is kind of mysterious.”
“Oh” I nodded “So do him and Taylor get along?”
“Actually, the guys use to be best friends since childhood. That is until last semester. They had this huge falling out, it was all anyone could talk about for weeks. No one knows exactly what happened but rumor is this semester they have to be on separate floors and they wont even be in the same room as the other.”
“So they hate each other?”
“Basically.” she nodded.
Wow.
“And now it would seem that they both have a thing for you.” She shook her head “You are in for one wild ride.”
Your tellin me.
