[Chapter Two || Equal Beauty And Brains]
Ugh I couldn't stand him. He actually had the nerve to look at me like that. As if he missed me and couldn't believe I was in front of his eyes. You know what? No. He couldn't just look at me with his electric blue eyes and suck me back into his arms.
But the thing I hated more was how delicious he looked...or how much good a year did to him. Turned out they didn't photo-shop him. Curse his good-looking genes.
C'mon April restrain yourself!
I resisted the urge to check him out by holding onto my anger.
"The one and only." I replied cheerfully throwing him a a smile, which I hoped didn't appear as a grimace. He kept staring at me, frozen. At-least I know I still have the ability to emit some feelings from him, and catch him off guard. Because really, I knew I was going to see him today, yet he still caught me off guard. If I couldn't catch him off guard when he didn't know I was coming, then that would be.. really pathetic, and a blow to the heart.
"You guys know each other?" Tony asked.
Nobody replied. I was too busy having my mini stare-down with Mason.
I sighed having to lose the stare-down so I could reply.
"Yeah, I used to go here. You wouldn't remember me though, I've changed." I answered Tony, seeing as no one else replied. Its not like he'd remember me anyway. It's not like we were friends back then.
“April, we need to catch up okay?” Mason said.
Yeah right.
He couldn't just not talk to me for like 12 months and then strut back into my life now telling me we needed to catch up.
A hand suddenly wrapped itself around Mason's waist as a beautiful girl gave him a small peck on the cheek. I felt jealousy rush through me.
No that's not right. I was probably just mad because it seems like he wasn't affected by me leaving. I mean, I was his bestfriend for 2 years after all, and that might not mean much to him but it sure meant something to me. And he probably didn't even miss me. He probably went through life like everything was okay; I mean he clearly replaced me with new friends and a beautiful girlfriend.
"Hey." she said smiling turning towards me.
"Im Hanna. Masons girlfriend." She said sticking her perfectly manicured hand out for me to shake.
She was beautiful. Her red pindrop straight hair and her brown eyes just popped out. And what was worse was, I couldn't hate her. She just had that inner beauty and kindness radiating off her. She didn't seem fake. She wasn't too revealing. I mean no wonder Mason wasn't affected by me leaving when he had her.
She was perfect.
"April." I said shaking her hand trying to smile . Her eyes widened as soon as I said my name and she turned back to Mason and they shared a look.
I shook it off.
"I've heard so much about you! " She told me enthusiastically.
"Okay." I replied slowly, and her shoulder sagged a little at my reply.
I really did not know what I was supposed to do. I mean, no-body wants to know they're talked about, becuase no-body knows in what kind of way they were talked about. And honestly, in this case, I didn't want to know.
"So did you get you're scedule? Maybe we have something together!" she asked grinning looking really hopeful.
A retort was on the tip of my tongue, before I looked at her eyes. Hope and kindness shone. She definitely knows how to make everyone love her.
Maybe that's how she got Mason. I had to keep reminding myself that this was not the same Mason I knew. Not the same Mason who broke the coffee table in my living room, because he had terrible aim. I doubt this is the same Mason from 2 years ago, and I doubt it took long for April to catch this Mason.
"Ugh, lemme see..." I said taking my schedule out of my pocket.
AP Functions Rm #450
PE Rm #132
LUNCH
AP Literacy Rm #210
AP Biology Rm #230
"Wow, you have all AP classes." Said Troy astonished.
I nodded.
"We have PE and Literacy together!" Hanna said excitedly. Wow, someone else was taking AP classes! I grinned, coming to the conclusion that it'd be good to at least know someone in those classes, even though it was someone I wish I could hate.
My schedule got ripped from my hands.
"We have Biology together!" Troy and Finn said.
Wow, these guys were taking AP Biology too? Guess there really are people with equal beauty and brain.
"I thought I was going to be the only smart one here.. no offense guys." I noted.
"None taken. Oh, and we have Functions together April, y'know what that means right?" Said Stark wiggling his eyebrows.
"What?"
"It means-"
"You're not going to get any work done, trust me! I had Chem with him last year, and I practically failed it because of him. " Hanna interrupted as Stark gasped.
"Piece of advice, don't sit with him." she continued.
"What? I am ashamed you think that! " Stark said feigning hurt.
Wow, I had someone I knew in all my classes. It seemed like it was going to be a great year already. Now if only Mason had none of his classes with me.I don't think I want too see him. Actually I don't think I could bare to see him more then I'd have to. Especially with Hanna. I really hoped they weren't one of those couples who showed major PDA everywhere.
"April, can we talk?" Mason asked cutting in. I looked at him with my eyebrows questioning. "Please?" he added.
"No." I said tersly. It was hard enough seeing him all fine and dandy without me. Plus, he didn't make any efforts to see me all last year, why should I make an effort so he could talk to me?
But how could I show him what he was missing out on if I didnt talk to him? I wanted him to regret not talking to me. I wanted him to regret throwing me away like I was nothing.
"Fine, go ahead... talk." I said keeping my poker face on.
"Here?" He asked looking around at all the people around us. Half of them probably listening in.
I didnt know what to reply, should we go talk or should I change my mind and not talk to him? I was scared. I wanted to know what he was going to say to me, but I didnt want to be hurt.
A shrill sound echoed in the parking lot. Saved by the bell.
Never have I loved the overly loud school bells more than I have now.
"We'll talk later, I guess." Mason said seriously.
"Yeah." I turned around and walked off to my Funtions class with Stark.
