Chereads / Her Unguarded Heart / Chapter 10 - First Hurdle

Chapter 10 - First Hurdle

"Hello, it's nice to meet you all. I've heard alot about all of you." I say in a serious tone but with a smile on my face.

We stand there in silence, awkwardly waiting. The first one to break the moment was Monica, thank the moon gods for it. "We didnt really hear much about you, but I feel like you are a friendly person. So any friend of my sister-in-law, is a friend of mine." She extends her hand out and I shake it, she has a firm hand shake. I can tell she's more thank just a regular lolita girl. She has light brown eyes, with the long straight lashes, and she has freckled cheeks, along with strawberry blonde hair that reaches her shoulder. She looks to be about 2 or 3 years younger than me, but she has a mature aura.

Her brother is the complete opposite, he has dark brown hair with green eyes, a dark tanned skin as if hes always outside. Which based on his club activities and hobbies I say he probably is. And his behavior first comes of as a child, but I dont know enough to say. He attempts to approach me with a hug, which I kindly refuse by placing my hand on his chest with a simple "no". He backs off with a smile admitting defeat, "You're a little feisty for a country girl, but I like you as well. We'll be hanging around alot though so you better get used to me." Alicia hits his chest and he let's out a little grunt.

"I'll keep that in mind," I attempt to make a small joke which works for the most part, except for Olivia of course.

She gives off a nasty vibe, if she wasnt human I would of eliminated her as a possible threat. She's your basic blonde hair blue eyes bitch. I can smell her crazy hormone drive as well, now I see why she hates Alicia. But she looks no more threatening than a kid, or to say shes just a kid. She's like 5 ft. She only stares me up and down and offers a fake smile.

Kendra seems to be the only one who doesn't suspect me, as she offers a genuine bright smile. "I come from the countryside as well, it's nice to have someone who understands my origin as well." She shakes my hand in and overexcited way.

After everyone is done with their introductions Alicia asks her boyfriend, "Where's Blaine?"

"He couldn't make it, apparently he got sent to a last minute meeting." Jose shrugged as to that's all he knew.

"Well that's a disappointment, but there's always school. But for now let's get some shopping done!" Alicia said as she turned around and led us away.
