Chapter 4

Ariela's POV

I just stood there, in shock of what Liam just told me. I was of course smiling like an idiot. He thought I was pretty? Oh this is a major step up than defending me. Oh my god! He thought I was pretty! Yeah he said it before but I thought he was just being nice. The girls saw that I was frozen on the spot so they rushed over straight away.

"So, what did he say to you?" Amy asked jumping up and down.

"He thinks I'm, I'm..." I stuttered trying to get my words out but they were stuck in my mouth.

"He thinks you're what?" Ali asked jumping up and down as well. She acually sort of screamed it so everyone in the cafeteria was looking at us. Including Liam. I just glanced at him and he had a big smirk plastered on his face. I dragged the girls to the corner of the cafeteria so nobody could hear what we were saying. Everyone went back to what they were doing by this point.

"So I was smiling at the ground a lot because he said he was gonna hurt the boys if they were mean to me again. So then he lifted up my chin with his finger and told me not to look at the ground because I was too pretty!" I whisper yelled. Then the girls and I went in to a squealing and dancing frenzy. Jumping up and down and totally freaking out which earned the attention of the cafeteria once again. I looked at him once more and he was laughing at how happy I was. All I did was smile.

The bell had finally rang for us to start our afternoon classes. Let's just say they were absolutely dreadful. I had the 2 girls screaming in my ears for the next 2 hours so I was unable to pay attention. Math was horrible, Ms. Carson asked me the answer to a question and I was about to say Liam Payne but I stopped myself and said that I didn't get it. I already knew what we were learning because I take Math Advanced as well as Math Academic, but it's not like she needed to know that.

The final bell had rung and I was just itching to get to detention so I could spend some time with Liam. I went to my locker and put everything in it-this time actually organizing it-waving good bye to Amy and Ally and headed off to room 245.

When I arrived at detention nobody was there. Except Liam. I'm pretty sure that we were gonna be the only ones there because there were only 2 names on the board and they were ours. Yes, Mrs. H is that old fashioned, but I guess this was a good thing if I wanted to talk to him alone. I walked in and Liam looked up at me and smiled, I did the same to him.

"Mrs. Hendricks said she would be back in an hour. She went to go photocopy some stuff." Liam told me.

"Okay, so what do you wanna do in the meantime?" I asked him, my words clearly meaning we skip detention for an hour. This is clearly not in my good girl nature. I am slowly but surly breaking away from that.

"I think we should go and mess with certain boys lockers. Do you agree?" he asked me, a smile playing up on his lips.

"I'm totally in," I said enthusiastically, "I think I'm a little too excited over this." I laughed while making our way towards the door.

"Hey, if I were you I would be too," He said with a smile. He walked ahead of me so he could open classroom door for me. I thought this was so gentleman like.

"After you m'lady." He told me while bowing.

"Why thank you kind sir," I said playing along. I could only guess that I was smiling like an idiot and my face was red from his actions.

We walked out and started laughing at what we had said to each other but making sure to be quiet as there were still teachers lurking around. We rounded the corner to their lockers. This was going to be prank they would never forget. As we approached the lockers I asked Liam,
