ARIES: those who make the first impression of being a heated bitch

A T H E N A

THE STEADY HEARTBEAT in her body contrasted with the anxious ones of those around her as she scribbled in the answers on her English test. Her mechanical pencil collided with her paper swiftly until she dropped it onto her test, her back then slouching as she waited for time to pass.

Athena left the test answers visible for others since she knew her friends weren't as intellectual as her, though Athena shrugged her intelligence off, not even taking note of it. Her smartness was underrated due to the fact that she never joined those petty competitions to prove how much she actually knew.

"Did you study the entire night or something?" The sarcastic remark coming from behind Athena caused her to roll her dark brown eyes. She looked back to her right to see a brunette with his pencil set on his test as well, his arms crossed as he slid down on his chair.

"I didn't study for even an hour," she retorted as she turned to her right to face him behind her. Pulling a piece of loose string on her black leggings, Athena stuffed her hands in her sweatshirt. "I just reread the notes."

"What? Do you have some telephonic memory or something?" He licked his lips with his finger tapping on his arm. His brown eyes challenged hers as she grew more annoyed by the second. She knew he wasn't stupid since he was in an AP English class after all.

"Eidetic memory?" Athena grimaced at his choice of description, but she wasn't one to ignore. "No, it's called having a brain. Of course you wouldn't understand."

"Fiesty." Calum sucked in his teeth as a cocky smirk appeared on his lips. He leaned in towards her, his test with messy marks sliding off his desk. "I'm Calum Hood."

"And I don't give a fuck." Now, Athena knew a lot about Calum Hood, not just because he was one of the popular fuckboys of the school, but also because he was Michael Clifford's best friend.

"You look familiar." Calum furrowed his eyebrows mimicking his deep thinking. Athena rolled her eyes, diverting her attention away from Calum. "Where have I seen you before?"

"In English class." Their English class was the only class they had together, but they haven't conversed until now, for Athena sat in the middle for the first semester due to seating arrangements and Calum sat in the front -though both wished to sit in the back.

"No shit." Calum rolled his eyes, cocking his head to the side to study her. Athena was irked by his ignorance; she wasn't mad that Calum didn't know who she was. She was mad because she planned to take a nap after her test due to the lack of sleep she had and Calum was bothering her when she could care less about him. "Do I know you?"

"Yeah obviously since you are kissing my ass right now." Her eyes were drooping as she finally gave up in trying to reply to him. Her eyebrows furrowed, her head resting on her arms as the soft fabric brushed against her face.

"Can I have your number though?" Athena groaned once she heard his voice yet again. She immediately deplored staying up to watch the current tv series she was on.

"No." Now, Athena was in no way a nonentity though she was smart. This stating that she was used to boys asking for her number, but of course she knew all of them followed their dick, not their mind.

"What a bitch," Calum scoffed as he tapped his pencil against his desk. It wasn't that Calum was annoyed that she rejected him -he was more turned on by that- but a teaspoon of her bitchiness was enough to piss him off.

"Do you ever shut up or are you so deprived of sex that your dick controls your mouth?" Athena just wanted to sleep, but obviously that wasn't going to happen soon. The metal on her desk cooled her hand as she put her grip around it.
