Darkened

Chapter 4

"This is my most favorite part of the school"Lisa declared as they entered the library which earned them a stern glare from the librarian.

Meg grinned as she couldn't help greedily inhaling the smell of books around her, she loved reading books.

Lisa wandered off to the shelves which had 'New arrivals'on display and Meg moved towards 'English literature'

Numerous books from her favorite writers of all times looked at her from the shelves and she beamed when she spotted a copy of 'Midnight summer's dream', her all-time favorite placed in one of the higher shelves.

Stretching out on her toes she tried to pick the copy off the shelf with her average five feet and four inches height and no high heels to her aid her fingers barely brushed the bottom of the book's spine.

She stretched as far as her body would allow and cursed under her breath each time she failed. Finally, the frustration getting better of her and she jumped and pulled out the book but the sudden force made other books tumble and fall down on the floor and one of them smacked her right in the middle of her forehead and fell on the floor open.

"Ouch !" Wincing she bend down to clean up the mess quickly before the librarian found out.

"Excuse me" She heard a smooth voice behind her and deliberately ignored it.

This whole situation was so embarrassing she would rather pretend she was alone and nobody saw it.

"Excuse me, You are blocking my way," said the voice again

Annoyed, embarrassed with and a smartass retort on the tip of her tongue she turned around from the pile of books in front of her and then........froze.

She couldn't be rude to that face. Nobody or at least no girl could.

Standing in front of her was a guy who looked like he had stepped right out of one of the many romantic fantasy books she had read.

A handsome face with chiseled features, straight nose, and sharp plane cheekbones, thick messy black hair swept across his forehead. His eyes were as grey as storm clouds dangerous and intimidating fringed with long dark lashes.

Freaking gorgeous.

The only intelligent words Meg could mumble out were "Umm...ok" as she hurriedly steps away and he walked past her.

'Broad shouldered', She noted " and 'Tall , much taller than me and he smells good too....'

She blinked shaking her head at herself, she had never t been the kind of girl who swooned or drooled over a guy , she didn't intend to start being one now though the guy was quite possibly the most handsome one she had ever seen. Bending down she quickly cleaned up the mess.

"Whoa!was that Roan Mastlor just now?"Lisa exclaimed Meg hadn't even noticed her come as she put the books back in their places.

"Who?That grey-eyed guy?" She asked feigning disinterest.

Lisa gave her a sly smile nudging her with an elbow"Stop acting like you didn't find him hot, I saw the way you were staring at him"

"I wasn't staring at him, "Meg said quickly, maybe a little too quickly which made Lisa chuckle at her "I was just looking nothing more"

"yeah, rite"Lisa's tone made it clear that she wasn't buying it.

"You weren't even here to see or say anything"Meg said pressing her lips together the way she always did when she was being stubborn.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I was just in time to see the mess you made and he asked you to excuse him"the I got-you-so give up already expression was clear as day on Lisa's face which caused Meg to sigh as she mumbled "fine" which wasn't fine at all.

Lisa chuckled throwing an arm around her shoulder "Its alright, no need to act like a pissed off drama queen"Meg gave her a small smile to tell her she wasn't pissed off but just a little bit embarrassed.

But it seemed like Lisa was intent on discussing him "Boy, that guy really is something, isn't he?"

Despite herself, Meg agreed "That means he has lots of girls dying to go out with him"

No disappointment there, nope not at all.

"Yeah, many girls I know of but he isn't that type"

"Isn't that type? What do you mean" she asked equally surprised and curious "He is gay?"

"No, he is not that I can say for sure"

"Then what?"

"What, what?"

"Why doesn't he go out with any of the girls ?"

"Well, that is something no one knows " Lisa shrugged " He doesn't talk with anyone much, mostly keeps to himself. Such a waste good looks.rite?"

"Yeah" No arguments there.

"Umm...can I ask you something ?"

"Yeah"

"Are you serious about Cam?"

Lisa chuckled "are you asking me this because I think Roan is hot?"

"Well...yeah" Meg gave an awkward shrug.

Lisa laughed "More than half of the school population drools over him, I'm just admiring the view, no crime" She winked "Besides no good comes out of chasing Roan he just isn't interested in girls here, God knows what kind of a girl he likes..." She rolled her blue eyes making Meg wonder that maybe once upon a time Lisa had been among the girls who chased him but had failed

" Whatever he doesn't seem real....but Cam"Meg saw a dreamy look come into her friend's eyes and just like that she had dismissed Roran "He is real. What we have is something...you know...its...."

"Ok ! Stop with your swooning already. it's gross"

"Gross?"Lisa asked pouting like a toddler.

"Yeah, all your lovesick speech and expression is weird, it makes me want to throw up"

Lisa shook her head laughing at Meg "You are crazy !"

Apparently even the librarian thought that they were crazy and kicked them out....
