The Fairy Next Door

9: Lucas: Be My Girlfriend

"Aine," I ran over to her.

It's Friday. And I was excited. Today I'll be asking her out. And I hope she says yes.

"Hi," she had her hair in two pigtails with flowers. She truly is beautiful.

"Come on let's get breakfast," I led her to the table. And we got what we always got.

"Your father tattooed your name on my arm," Lance said.

"Whoa," I looked at his arm. Sure enough, there it was, Irene's name.

"What?" Irene looked shocked. "Oh gosh, I'm sorry. My father shouldn't have done that."

"So you finally got the courage to tell Shawn," I said. "Tell us, how it go?" I laugh.

"Well I went yesterday to talk to him," Lance said. "And I told him about Irene and me. He seemed calm and listened to me. He didn't seem angry at all. He said it was fine, that Irene could choose who to date. And that was it. He told me he would talk to Irene. But I don't think he did. Did he?"

"No," Irene sighed.

"Well I left your house," Lance said. "And not sure what happened after that. I woke up, in the middle of the park. With my arm bandage. Now I don't think he took me to a tattoo shop. I think he did this himself. With magic. Because last night it was shinning."

"Oh, I'm so, sorry," Irene looked down. "I am so, embarrassed."

"It's fine," Lance said. "Now how am I suppose to tell my parents about this."

"Well the good thing is that Shawn accepted your relationship," I said.

"True," Lance hugged Irene. "It's fine baby."

"Okay," Irene sighed.

"Oh," Aine tugged on my sleeve. "Here, for you all." She handed us some bracelets.

"Thanks," I said and handed one to Lance and Irene.

"Wow," Irene smile. "So, beautiful. They look magical."

"Your welcome," Aine smile.

The bell rang. We headed to class.

I've never been this excited about school. I'm excited because I'll be taking Aine to see my home. And then I'll ask her out.

It was lunchtime, and I was let out of class a bit late.

"Ouch," I frowned. I walked down the hall. I was heading to the cafeteria. "Let go."

"Oh come on," that was Max and Aine. "I like you. You should go out with me. I think you're cute. I know we just met, but come on."

"No," I heard Aine. "Let go of me."

I turned the corner. Max had Aine against the wall. With a hand on her wrists.

"Let her go," I said. Max only groaned and pulled away. Aine ran to me. I held her. "Stay away from her. I mean it, Max. Don't make me tell grandpa your harassing innocent girls."

Max glared. I know he was afraid of grandpa.

I led Aine away from him.

"You alright?" I asked.

"Yes," she looked down. "Max has my number. And I don't know how he got it; he freaks me out."

"Ah," I'm going to hurt Max. "Don't worry I'll deal with him later."

"Thanks," we enter the cafeteria. Lance and Irene, we're waiting for us.

"Did something happen?" Lance asked.
