Even though we are just scratching the surface with these characters, I want to know who is your favorite when it comes to the boys?
DAMON AND TINA How many times a day was Damon going to find himself in this position? He held his cell up to his ear, listening to Ernistina go on and on about how fragile Kahlan was. He had to admit that after today, he felt like he did let Tina and his client down. He felt bad enough, and Tina was calling only to make it worse, whether she deliberately did it or not. Finally, he had to cut her off. "Well, what did you want me to do?" Damon asked. They had already talked about this before, why was she calling again to rehash? This time, it wasn't during business hours. Damon was on his way to take a shower when Ms. Bail called, but the longer she continued to 'talk' the more unlikely his shower seemed to be. He was tired. He had been running errands and moving furniture around all day. There was so much going on in the last two days. He just needed to rest and tackle everything tomorrow. Its not like his situation with Kahlan Mercer was just going to disappear. She went on and on ab
KAHLAN I stood at the bust stop. Again the sun was bright, the weather already so warm, I could tell it was going to be another hot day. To embrace the weather I wore a jean skirt and a yellow frilly shirt. I stared at my cell phone. The time said 7:04. The bus was supposed to have a 6:55 pick up, but it was late today. There was the sound of a car horn that caught my attention. I looked up to see a dark blue convertible across the street, and in it sat Chad, Brandon, Jason and Sandino. "I knew that was you," Brandon yelled out from the front seat, attracting attention. I smiled, giving a little wave. "Want a ride?" I stood there for a moment. It was just a ride to school, what was the worst that could happen? I was sure to look both ways before running out into the street and over to the car. "You know I do." Jason opened the back door and slid out, letting me in between him and Sandino. I got a whiff of the strong deodorant he wore, which smelled like fresh baby powder. I breathed
JAMES AND CARLY "Imagine my surprise when I knocked at your door last night, and your father answered." James said, holding Carly's hand, practically pulling her down the hallway. He noticed that her hand was cold, but he made no effort to warm them. James had waited at the front entrance of the school building for Carly's bus to arrive. The moment she stepped off, he was at her side, squeezing her hand and dragging her along. He always needed to be in control. She had gotten so used to being the follower that she didn't really notice until she almost tripped over her own feet. She was pigeon-toed and it astounded him that she didn't fall more than the average person. She moved her thin bangs from in front of her face, in one swift move and looked at her boyfriend. "Yeah, he told me that," She said, "I got in so much trouble." James glanced over at her. He didn't care about how much trouble she had gotten in. He was upset at the fact that he received no warning and was embarrassed. H
KAHLAN, SANDINO, JAMES, AND BROOKE "Everyone knows," Brooke replied quietly to James, after pulling him down by the gym hallway, in total isolation for the time being. It was still pretty early. Most students were either in the cafeteria or out on the courtyard. James chuckled as if it were a joke. Brooke wasn't the type to freak out unless it came to Sandino or Carly. And based on her attitude, it was. "Will you relax? No one knows anything. Its speculation." He had heard about the rumors. Many people have asked questions, but of course, him being the man that he was, he kept it a secret. Mysteries, secrets... that was all he was about. It was fun to him. It was a game. "Its not speculation, if its true," Brooke murmured, crossing her arms, staring her private lover down. James looked at her. "Did you talk to Ashley?" It was strange to James that Brooke cared whether or not Ashley would tell Carly. In realty she should be worried about the entire school, since she believed everyone
KAHLAN, SANDINO, JAMES, AND BROOKE James stared past the pretty brunette with a smile of satisfaction. "What?" Brooke asked. The buff man lifted up his hand, and with his index finger, pointed down the hall. Brooke turned, spotting Sandino with another girl. Her face practically hit the floor. James chuckled some more, this time a bit looming. Her facial expression was priceless. Brookes plan was to break up with James, and focus on Sandino. Its funny how things turned out. "Yeah," I said with a smile, trying to catch my breath, "Just like that." There was a look of realization in Sandino's eyes. Was he just as surprised by this moment as I was? "You look nervous." I chuckled, shaking my head ever so slightly. "No. Not at all." I lied. To be honest, I hadn't been in such a close proximity with a male in a while. He grinned. He had a nice smile. I held the fabric from his gray and black boy band shirt in my fingers tightly. "Is this working?" I moved my head to the side just a bit
JAMES AND CARLY Carly had run across the football field and to the back entrance of the gym. She was getting ready to open the door and head inside, When James grabbed her by her slim arm, and whirled her around. Her baby blue eyes were red and watery, but no tears seemed to make their way out. Right now, she seemed more stunned than anything. He looked at her, thinking he had the right words to say, but it seemed he didn't. She stared with hope. "Please tell me it isn't true," She sniffled. James pulled her a little closer. "Please tell me James." He stared. In the end there were only two ways he could answer this. One was to lie, while the other was to tell the truth. He was mean, but he wasn't that mean. After all, he loved Carly. He would never break her heart, at least that's what he told himself. "Of course not," he lied. His hard eyes were soft and caring. Carly stared into them. "Baby, I love you." "Then what was that back there? What was Justin talking about? Why did it so
CARLY AND BROOKE Brooke sat at the table alone, waiting for Carly. She wondered the reason as to why Carly was late. Maybe she found out! Her mind was going crazy. Carly was the best person in her life. She was always so sweet and caring, and Brooke hated herself for what she had done. What would she do if she ever lost Carly? She took a deep calming breath. It didn't matter, she told herself. She had been lying to her for so long, it had to be stopped. By the end of the day she was going to come clean to Carly. No secrets are better left kept. Besides, she hated the guilt she was feeling. Carly stormed up, taking a seat. Brooke sat quietly. Oh yes, something was wrong. She looked very upset. Just be quiet, Brooke thought. If she knows, she will talk to you. She waited a few short moments and she felt like she couldn't take it anymore. "Whats wrong?" Brooke asked, breathing the silence. Carly glanced over at her best friend. "You look mad." Brooke could always read Carly's expression
KAHLAN AND CHAD The day finally ended. It was short at first, but everything now seemed to be dragging along. I headed quietly to the bus, getting in the back of a very long line, waiting to climb aboard. I laid my head against the metal below the window, letting out a sigh. God, I wish I had my own car. I wish I didn't have therapy. I wished for so many things at this particular moment. "Hey, where are you going?" Chad asked, running up. He startled me a bit. "Home," I said softly with a smile. "You don't want a ride?"I stared the chocolate young man in his face, thinking over the idea. Was I to turn down his offer because of the destination I was heading to? I took a quick glance around, wondering where the other guys were. "The guys are staying after for football." He must've been able to read minds. What was the harm in a ride? I gave a nod. "Um, yeah, sure, But I'm actually not going straight home." I wanted to hit myself in the face for lying. Why wasn't I honest? I could ha
