Catch Me, Catch Me Not

In my town, everybody knows everybody. The population has to only be about 5,000 people. Can you imagine the social life I have. I am a 17 yr old senior in high school. I should be at all the parties, shopping my life away and having the most epic social life. But no. I'm in this no mans land ass town. We're the most excitement we get is when newcomers find there way into our land. Like seriously when movies come to our theater, it's been out for 3 weeks and about to leave other theaters. The highlight of my life is the beach bonfires that are thrown so often now, that it isn't a secret anymore. We used to sneak out after curfew to go down the beach cliff and party. It was so much fun sneaking away from our parents. But now our parents can predict when we are having them. God I gotta get out of here. My camera, I call her Lena, she's my way out. Lena and I are a perfect duo. Lena gives me so much hope that I'll make it from this place. She's my excitement: I love taking pictures. It's the one plus side to living here. In the country, the natural scenery is amazing. Tyler is so small that when news got out about the newcomers, it didn't take long before they were the talk of the town. Of course I was just as interested as everybody else. Like who would pick Tyler, Mississippi to move too. I'm just trying to make it out of this place. When my best friends ( they call themselves the "bae watchers") had told me that the new family was up at the the high school, I hurried and got dressed for class. I don't think I've ever gotten excited for school. Just as I meet my friends outside of first period I saw them. I swear these have to be some of the tallest, gorgeous human beings I've ever laid eyes on. "Layla, Layla, helllllooooo are you in there" I hadn't even realize my friends were talking to me, Damn was I staring that hard. Did they notice? "Sorry sorry, what were you saying Mel?" " Well if you stop drooling and listen I was telling you their names!" "Why don't you take a picture camera girl, it'll last longer." Giggled Quinn I rolled my eyes at them. Mel and I have been friends since the womb. Literally. Our parents purposely got pregnant around the same time so their kids could be best friends just like them. Our dads wanted two girls, our moms however, wanted a boy and girl so they could be officially blood family. Guess our dads knew what they were doing. We met Quinn in 6th grade when her parents decided they didn't want that city life anymore and moved here. She disagrees and can't wait to return to the bright lights. She says the only good thing that came out of her move was meeting us. "You see the one with hazel eyes and copper hair,her name is Charlise ." To say she was beautiful is an understatement. Her cheeks are rosy like she's let the sun kiss them for hours on end. She's a little bit over average height, with more curves then a winding road. She'd definitely hold all the boys eyes. "The male standing next to her with the sandy brown hair and gorgeous smile" Mel bit down on her lip as she described him. "His name is Carter." Carter stood about 6'2 with Hazel eyes just like Charlise . His smile seemed to be simply dreamy. Dimples so deep it looks like he had potholes in his cheek. He smile broad just like his shoulders. His body seemed well toned through the black v neck shirt he was wearing. The shirt perfectly outlined his abs. He was the pretty boy. "This last one there, mmmmmm. That one is clearly the rebel out of the group." Mel paused and giggled. "His name is Cashton." Cashton was the tallest out of the 3. Maybe 6'7. He had long limbs but they were well toned and pumped with muscles. He has soft gray eyes, deep chocolate brown hair, slim strong face, tattoos up his arms, nothing colorful though, I wonder what they mean. As he talked to the counselor his eyes sparkled with a certain gleam that seemed like his eyes enchanted you. "I can stand here and stare at Cashton all day. He's clearly the bad boy ." Quinn said with a wicked grinn. " you can have Carter, Cashton is mine!" Hissed Mel I rolled my eyes at them. "They don't even know you exist yet and you're standing there arguing over who's yours. You guys are hilarious. Come on we got class to get too." First and second period went by fast. Thank God. I don't know how I manage to make it through AP English and then AP Calculus. What the hell was I thinking? I just wanted out of this small ass town so bad, I didn't think this s**t through. I was happy to get to 3rd period. That was my elective class. It was photography. Every since I was little I loved the camera. My mother thought I wanted to be a model since I was so photogenic. But my true love of the camera was behind the lens. I love catching the angles of a person face, the contour of the body. The sparkle in the eyes. The essence of nature that plays in the background. Whenever I touched the camera it felt like it was apart of me. I got lost in the images that I captured. See when I leave Hicksville, USA, I was going to be a world famous photographer. My work would be displayed everywhere. I don't have this class with my friends. They prefer to be my model, that's until I get super serious with them about giving me more diversity with their faces and poses. They get so mad at but they help me anyway. They know how serious I am about building my portfolio so I can get into a good school for photography. I had just got Lena out and cleaned her lense for the day, when class changed. Our assignment today was to take still shots of nature and then come back and learn how to make some parts of the photo move. Then he walked in. I heard the other girls in class gasp, when I turned to see why I saw him. Cashton had walked into class. Oh great, this is going to be fun. I rolled my eyes. "Alright my beautiful muses and photography Gods. We will be having a new student joining us. His name is Cashton Manscene. Everyone make him feel welcome and partner up. We'll be going outside in a few minutes." "Ms. Ruth my partner didn't show today, so-" "That's Great Layla!! You can work with Cashton show him the ropes around here" I sighed. And walked over to him. "Hi I'm Layla. You're Cashton right?" "Ah I see you're hearing works." Cashton said sarcastically. "Look this is the only class I have that I enjoy. So if you want to try and ruin this for me and be an asshole, then screw off and find another person." "Aren't you a feisty little Luna? You probably have all the others shaking when you come around, Dontcha?" "What did you just call me!?" I rose my voice slightly. My name is easy he should get it. "I called you Luna. It's what you are." He said with a smirk "WHAT!!!" I screamed. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!???" Cashton laughs. He looks at me with this sinister grin on his face. "Oh this is rich, you don't know who you are........." *********************************************************************************************** Hey Everyone!!! SO the next couple chapters will be about Cashton. We'll get a better insight to this mystery man.Until then see ya Wordies!!
