"So what are you going to the dance as?" I asked sitting down next to Aisha at lunch. Aisha and I have gotten close, she's really smart, and good company.
"Oh well I was hoping to do this funny partner science costume with Sam-" I cut her off.
"Why would you want to do a partner costume with Sam?" I asked with my eyebrows raised.
"We used to be friends, but I guess now that she's friends with Yasmine she can't be bothered to talk to me. I tried to talk to her about it yesterday at lunch but Yasmine cut in and started making fun of me." Aisha explained looking down. I felt really bad for her, she's really nice, and no one deserves to be treated like that.
"Well, first off Yasmine's a stuck up bitch, and second it's Sam's loss you're a great person, and anyone would be lucky to be your friend." I said giving her a reassuring smile, making her look up and smile at me.
"Thanks, but I still don't really have a partner for my costume." She said looking back down.
"Well, I already have a costume but I could be your partner if you want." I suggested.
"Oh no it's ok, I would want your costume that I'm sure you'll look great in to go to waste." She said shaking her head.
"Are you sure. I wouldn't mind." I replied smiling slightly.
"Yeah I'll be fine I guess I could just do the costume by myself it just won't make as much sense." Aisha said shrugging her shoulders slightly.
"Ok, are you two done doing your little girl chat now?" I heard Demetri say from across the table startling me a bit.
"What when did you guys get here?" I asked looking at the boys.
"Five minutes ago, you two were too busy talking to notice." Demetri replied causing me to roll my eyes at him.
It was silent for about 6 minutes and it was starting to become awkward so I decided to break it.
"So what's everyone going to the dance as." I asked looking at everyone.
"Oh well I was thinking of going as a plastic surgeon." Eli said.
"I'm going as necromancer, and no it's not a wizard." Demetri said pointing at us
"I know what a necromancer is, they communicate and summon the dead or something like that." I responded. "But aren't they kinda like the wizard of the dead and such?" I added earning a glare from Demetri.
"Oh shut up." Demetri grumbled turning back to his food.
"Ok, I'm gonna go to the vending machine. Anyone want anything?" I asked grabbing the money from my bag.
"Oh could you grab me a water?" Aisha asked. I nodded and walked over to the vending machine.
I got the water for Aisha and a bag of chips for me. When I was making my way back to the table couple of Kyler's goons stopped me blocking my path.
"Hey assholes, get out of my way." I said not wanting to have to deal with them today.
"Why we just wanted to talk." One of them said talking a step towards me making me take a step back.
"Yeah well too bad I don't feel like talking." I said trying to push past them.
"And why is that sweets." The other said with a small smirk making me cringe at the name.
"Because I have better things to do than waste my energy talking to you." I responded finally being able to get around them, only for one of them to grab hold of my wrist.
"Hey that wasn't very nice now was it." The one holding my wrist growled.
"Yeah that's the point." I say wrapping my hand out of his grasp and slam my foot on his, I'm sure that it didn't feel good since I was wearing healed boots today. "Oh, and one more thing." I said taking a step towards the pair. "If you ever try to touch or touch me again I will shove those trays so far up your asses that you'll be picking them out of your teeth for weeks." I said smiling sweetly turning around and heading back to my table.
"Hey what was that all about?" Eli asked me as I sat back down at the table.
"Just the usual, Kyler's goons being dicks as usual, nothing I can't handle." I responded winking at him, in turn making him blush a bit and look back down.
Lunch had finished up and I walked to History with Aisha. We got to the class just before the bell rang so we had a few minutes to chat.
"So I saw you wink at Eli, what was that all about?" She asked wiggling her eyebrows at me.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." I lied.
"Oh come on I see the way you two are with each other, you obviously like him." Aisha responded.
"You know what there's no use of hiding this from you. Yes ok yes I like him I think he's cute." I said giving up on trying to keep it a secret.
"I knew it, Miguel owes me 20 bucks." She said making me whip my head in her direction.
"Aisha please tell me you two didn't bet on Eli and I." I asked putting my head in my hands.
"Sorry Nova we couldn't resist." Aisha shrugged.
"Ok whatever. I mean how could I not think Eli's cute, he's sweet, caring, smart, and there to comfort me when I need him." I say slightly blushing remembering that night on my roof.
"You know, you should ask him to the dance." Aisha said nudging my shoulder.
"I don't know, what if he says no?" I ask looking down at my hands at the thought of being rejected by the guy I like.
"Are you kidding, any guy here would be crazy to say no to you, you're a catch and if he can't see that then he's blind?" She said making me smile at her kind words.
"Ok then I will." I responded, my mind starting to drift off into thinking to what events tonights dance might hold.
Hey guys sorry for the wait I have a lot of things going on in my life at the moment and I couldn't find time to upload I hope you can forgive me.
