Outside The Lines- Teaser #1

Okay, so since I asked you all on my message board which story you would prefer, the majority said option #3. So today I wrote 14 pages of the story, and I had a lot of fun doing it XD This is a teaser for it, so that you guys can see what it'll be like since it was the one most of you wanted! :) I'm fairly sure the title of it will be "Outside The Lines". Anyways, here's the teaser: 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                Dimitri walked into the room with Kim. He was playing with the edge of his scarf, listening to whatever Kim was saying.

                He strut into the room, commanding everyone’s attention with his appearance. I glared at him as he came over in our direction and sat near us with Kim.

                “I’m so glad they changed your schedule and gave us classes together!” Kim said, smiling at him.

                “It feels wonderful not to be tragically parted anymore, I must agree,” Dimitri said, releasing the edge of his scarf.

                “Great. Now I have lunch, English, and two study halls with him,” I hissed.

                “We have lunch, English, and two study halls with him,” Thalia corrected.

                “But you don’t have to sit next to him in English!” I said, struggling to keep my voice down so that he wouldn’t hear me. “Every time he shakes his head, it looks like a jar of glitter exploded on the desk!”

                “He’s really not that bad, Theo. He’s just a little flamboyant,” Thalia said with a shrug.

                “A little?” Oliver and I asked at the same time, shooting her looks that announced how idiotic she sounded.

                “Okay, okay. He’s the definition of overly flamboyant. But he’s not that bad of a person,” she amended.

                “Yea, neither were Hitler or Stalin,” I said. “I bet they could all have a wonderful tea party together!”

                “You can’t compare him to Hitler and Stalin just because he wears flashy clothes and puts glitter in his hair,” Thalia said in annoyance. “He doesn’t kill anyone!”

                “You can’t prove that. I bet he murders hobos and steals their clothes,” I said.

                “It would explain why he never matches,” Oliver said with a nod.

                “What if he puts the glitter in his hair because he thinks he’s Edward Cullen?” I said.

                “You mean he thinks the sun makes him sparkle?” Oliver asked.

                I nodded. “Yea, so he puts glitter in his hair. Then he steps in the sunshine and BAM! Instant sparkle.”

                “Oh my god, Theo, you’re a genius!” Oliver cried.

                “More like a moron,” Thalia grumbled.

                “This study hall is so boring,” Dimitri said, that musical voice of his drifting back to us.

                He was leaning back in his chair, his feet crossed over Kim’s lap. He was wearing rainbow colored Vans that sparkled.

                “So make it fun. You always make things fun,” Kim said.

                “Yes, yes I do,” he said, smirking. He looked around the study hall, eyeing everyone as if he were a hungry predator. His eyes passed over us as we pretended to be talking amongst each other.

                I kept my head down, not wanting to look at him. The sight of him disgusted me. Honestly, how could anyone go around looking like that?

                “I’ll be right back. I have to go get help from my math teacher,” Thalia said, standing up and disappearing out of the classroom.

                I looked down at a piece of paper, doodling on it in my boredom. I just wanted the bell to ring and release me from this hell. Today had been absolutely terrible.

                “Excuse me?”

                I cursed in my head as I forced myself to look up. Dimitri stood in front of me, his arms crossed over his chest and a smirk on his face.

                “You’re the guy I sat next to last period,” he said, sitting down in the chair in front of me.

                “Yes, I am,” I said, trying to keep my voice and expression neutral.

                “Did we have homework for that class?” he asked. His eyes were the color of frosty glaciers, brought out by the combination of mascara and eyeliner. Not that a guy should ever be wearing mascara or eyeliner.

                “Yea. You’re supposed to finish the scene we’re on,” I said, wishing he would go away.

                “Who was that girl you were sitting with?” he asked, completely changing the subject.

                Oliver coughed in his arm to disguise a laugh. I resisted the urge to kick him in the shin.

                “That was Thalia,” I said.

                “Thalia,” he said slowly, testing the name on his lips. “That’s a pretty name. Is she your girlfriend?”

                At that, Oliver couldn’t even disguise his laughter. He laughed and buried his face against his arm to muffle it. Dimitri promptly ignored him, keeping his icy eyes fixed on my blushing form.

                “Thalia is my sister!” I said defensively. “Jeez, don’t you have any siblings? Can’t you tell when people look alike?”

                “Of course. I have a fabulous little brother named Galen. He looks just like me. And I have a sister, but we look nothing alike,” he said, a slow smirk coming to his lips.

                My heart went out to anyone related to Dimitri, especially anyone that looked like him. Oh, Dimitri’s poor little brother.

                “Congratulations. I’m working, so can you leave me alone?” I asked, getting irritated now. I didn’t like him talking about Thalia.

                “I can see how hard you’re working. It does quite a lot of focus to make such beautiful scribbles,” he said, gesturing at my paper. I blushed a little and covered it with my arm.

                “Did you need something?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.

                “Oh calm down,” he said, waving his hand at me. “Don’t get your panties in a bunch. I’m just making conversation.”

                “I don’t want to talk to you,” I said flatly.

                Dimitri clicked his tongue and shook his head, glitter sparkling down to the desk. “Now, that’s hardly fair. You don’t even know me.”

                “I don’t want to know you. Goodbye,” I said.

                “Oh honey, everyone wants to know me,” he said, his lips curling up into a mischievous smile.  

                “Not me,” I said, promptly turning away from him.

                “Kimberly darling, this boy is being stubborn,” he called over his shoulder.

                Kim got up and came over to us, grabbing Dimitri’s arm and pulling him to his feet. She rolled her eyes at him.

                “Sorry about him, Theo. I need to get him a leash,” she said with a sigh.

                “Get me one of those pink collars with the spikes to go with it,” Dimitri said, pointing at his neck.

                “Just get him away from me,” I grumbled.

                “Such a grumpy gills. What did Kim call you? Theo?” Dimitri said.

                “That’s his name. Theo,” Kim said.

                “As in Theodore?” Dimitri asked.

                “Don’t call me Theodore,” I said, glaring at him. I hated it when people called me by my full name.

                “I think you’ll find that I rather enjoy full names. I’ll catch you around, little Theodore,” he said, winking at me before leading Kim back over to their seats.
