Chapter 31: Bookstore
"I don’t know, believe me, I’m dying to find out" she replied. Folding her arms, her hazel eyes scanning everyone in the hall, I noticed her eyes were a mixed color of a light gold but then it was gone, was it the fluorescent? Now I was hoping that wasn’t the case.
"It’s always loud with everyone, I can barely think, not a moment of silence," she said like a struggle, and then she set her orbs on me again. "But you... nothing, like an empty shell"
"Emilia" Lucas’ voice came in and it was like the spell she had on me was broken.
"Hey Cuz" she smirks but he didn’t return it, it was almost like he knew she was onto something, his eyes darted to me and then he smiled.
"Hope this little minx isn’t troubling you?"
To be honest she was more lenient with me than anyone else. I shake my head still playing what Emilia said to me in my head.
"Okay now I’m bored," Emilia said, rising to her feet.
Lucas huffed. "You’re always bored"
She shot him a look, and she whirled her prolonged gaze on me, I looked away feeling uncomfortable, and the next I heard was her retreating heels.
"Lucas" he faced me, I could tell he was avoiding me, he was doing a really bad job at that, or I was just too observant. I didn’t understand the need to but I figured it was that look he gave me in the restaurant, it must have been uncomfortable for him just like it was for me, maybe he never intended the look, but why did it come to that though, it still bugged me.
He smiled at me. "Can I help you with anything beautiful?" he asked with hands in his pocket and I blushed.
