-*-*-*-*-*-

Oh.My.Friggin.Gawd!!

He has the most beautiful eyes ever! They are a deep green with grey specks.
Oh shit! I should probably answer before he starts to think I'm some idiot.

"Uh..huh.... Ye-ye-Huh!". On second thought, maybe I should just shut up. I merely nod.

Antonio gives me a blinding smile and sits next to me.
He offers his hand and says "I'm Antonio Dominic. What's your name?"

I shake his hand nervously and say "I'm Arianna Evans. But friends call me Ari. Though Nate calls me Aribari. My Mom and Dad call me Aria. I dont even know why. But my sister calls me HairyBeary. She's my twin sister. Though we don't look alike. But we think alike. She's taller than me. I like chocolate! Do you like chocolate? I don't like white chocolate though. My dad used to tell me that white chocolate was made from Cockroach poo. I don't like cockroaches. I don't like any insect. I think its because they can fly and I cant. Do you want to fly?!" 

And THATS what came out of my mouth.

Why oh why did my word vomit disability come out now! Antonio throws his head back, roaring with laughter.
All the other students look over to see what's happening but luckily the teacher was too busy with something at her desk.

I cross my arms over my chest defensively and grumble, "Glad someone finds this amusing."

"What was that?! I didn't even catch your name after all that!" Antonio says, accent very much there.

"Call me Ari." I simply say, too afraid if I 'wordapuke' again.

Antonio smiles at me one more time and says "Its very nice to meet you Ari" and turns to the front of the class since Miss Hilary started her lesson in history.

I think I just died right there.

-^-^-

I could hear most of the girls were gushing about the new boy a.k.a. Antonio as silently make my way to my locker, loading my books in and taking out my Music book.

As I walk to Nates locker which is just around the corner, I feel someone tap my shoulder.
I turn around to see Zachary Hudson. I groan in exasperation, knowing what was coming next.

Zachary, a tall lean boy with jet black hair, had been after me for nearly a month so far.
Every week he would make it a point to ask me out, either for a movie or to just 'hangout' at his house. I didn't like him one bit because he was known for dumping girls once he got what he wanted from them.
No matter how much I rejected him, he still wouldn't give up, believing that me rejecting him was just a sign that I liked him even more.
I don't even know what he was thinking to believe such a thing.
When a girl rejects you more than three times, its a sign that she doesn't want you.
But noooooo, he didn't think so.

"Hey Arianna! I was wondering if you'd want to have coffee with me and then maybe go back to my place, maybe watch some Netflix and chill?"

I give him the flattest look I could muster and say "Do you really not know the answer to that or do you just love the sound of me rejecting you over and over and over and over again.....??"

Zachary takes a step closer to me while I cautiously take a step back. Something in his eyes told me he wasn't going to take No for an answer.
Huh. Shocking.

He keeps stepping closer to me while I step back until I'm trapped between him and the wall.
The area is already deserted because classes have started.

"Why not Ari? You know you want me. Why don't you just drop the act and go out with me?" he puts his hand beside my head blocking any chance of escape.
He presses his body against mine making me wince.
My face scrunches in disgust at his action.
Willing all my strength to my leg, I bring it right up swiftly and the next thing I know, Zachary is in the opposite side of the hall clutching his crotch in pain.

"You bitch!" he yells at me.
I take my time as I walk upto where he is, grab a thick tuft of his hair and then bang his head against the lockers.

"Is this enough of a signal for you to back the fuck away?!" I say, eyes burning with anger.
I take a deep breath before smiling cheekily and say, "I hope so", before walking away from Zachary who is staring at me, shock and fear clearly written on his face.

"Now that's what I call feisty!"

I spin to my right to see Eli leaning against the wall looking highly amused.

"Not right now Andersons" I say, not in the mood to deal with him at the moment.
But I am pleased with myself for letting Zachary know I'm not like other girls.

I don't feel like going to class after this so I walk out to the football field. I sit on the grassy side, beside the field.
Eli wordlessly does the same.

After a long silence, Eli speaks up, "I would have come to help you beat the bastard up but it didn't look like you needed it so I just sat back and watched. I must say, I'm quite impressed."

I smile at that and then ask,

"What were you doing out there anyway? Shouldn't you have been in class?"

"Well, I was waiting for you outside the music class and when I saw that you hadn't come yet, I decided to look for you."

After sitting there for an hour, only exchanging a few words, the bell rings signaling lunch break. We silently walk together towards the cafeteria and get our lunch.

Eli follows me as I walk over to my table which is empty since none of my friends have reached yet.

I turn around to see Eli still behind me, "What are you doing?"

He shrugs and answers, "I want to sit with you."

Still puzzled with his decision, I ask, "What about your richboy friends?"

He makes a face at my name for them, "Ill call them over too" and sits at the table.

I take the seat next to him, which happens to be where I usually sit, and start eating.

Five minutes later, our table is full with Eli, Shawn, Mason, Josh, Natalie, Tasha, Nate and me.

As I look around at my friends talking and laughing, I feel content with my life.
These are the people who I wouldn't mind growing old with.

I learn a few things about Elis' friends. They aren't exactly what I expected them to be like.
Shawn was a pretty nice guy. He and Natalie seemed to hit it off pretty well too. They were laughing and smiling at each other and I thought, they looked perfect together.
Mason and Josh were nice guys too. They seemed to be the jokers of the four. They looked like brothers cause they acted and behaved alike.

As I was observing everyone with a happy grin on my face I looked at Eli to see him looking at me too. He smiled at me and I smiled back.

Just when I was actually considering the fact that maybe he was a nice guy after all, he licks his lips hungrily and then looks down at my slightly showing cleavage.

I take back everything I just thought about him!

I hope you liked it! It isn't the same as all the previous chapters. This one isnt as funny, but still shows a bit of Aris character.

Anywhoooo,, Please Comment/Vote/Fan!!!

Lot of love, farts and kisses, Sitara
