A Mermaid's Tail

Chapter 3

Amelia's P.O.V.
I ran as if my life depended on it. Pushing my legs to run faster, I run past Bella to my locker. I put in my code to open the lock but failed to get it right as my hands were shaking. I finally unlock the lock and the took my books out and then slam it shut.
"I told you we were gonna be late! But no! You had to have another race with Kai! If we get detention because we were late, you are so dead!"yells Bella as she shuts her locker.
"Well, we're gonna be more late if we stand here talking!" I tell Bella as I run to class with Bella trailing behind me. I take a breath before opening the door and walking in. I had English first class with Bella. Our teacher was Mrs Smith. She's a really good teacher, but she is has strange mood swings, she can be happy one second but the next she can be pissed off.
"Amelia. Isabella. So good of you to grace us with your presence." Mrs Smith says sarcastically.
"Sorry we're late Mrs Smith." I tell her. I could feel all of  the class staring at us. I hate when people stare at me, it makes me uncomfortable.
"It won't happen again" Bella adds.
"It better not... so what was it this time? Couldn't get a ride? Alarm didn't go off? Thought it was the weekend?"
"Ummm...We got lost track of time" I reply. "Alright. Just sit down and start working." She says turning away from us and writing on the board.
I sign in relief and sit down in my seat. I sit at the back row near the window side, unfortunately Bella sits the opposite side of class. That's not only the unfortunate part, the schools most popular boy, Caleb Grayson, the one that everyone loves, sits beside me. You might think that I'll be happy about that, but I don't like guys like Caleb, they only mean trouble and I don't need that in my life. But unfortunately he is already in my life. Caleb's family and my family are friends. My dad works for his dad. His family and the Morris family are the richest family in town. Caleb is the schools golden boy and his best friend Alec Morris is the schools bad boy.  Those two have been friend since they were children. They both rule the school together, their word is like the law here. I take out my copy and start taking down that notes Mrs Smith is writing on the board. Half way through the class I feel something staring hole in the side of my face. When I turn to look at who, I see Caleb staring at me, I gave him a confused look. "What?" I whisper-yell at him. He shakes his head and look at the board. What the hell just happened? I shake my head and start to take down the notes again. I look at the clock to see that there are five minute left, then I have science.
"Okay before we the bell rings I have an announcement. Since we are doing Romeo and Juliet right now and there is school play coming up, the teachers have decide to do Romeo and Juliet for the play since it overlaps with English and is a wonderful story. So if you are interested, sign up for the play." I'm gonna be in the play since I'm in the drama club, as well as the art, dance and music club. So not only will I be painting the set, helping with the music and choreography, I would also be involved in the acting. Every year they had the play I usually helped creating the set, music and choroegraphy and I was also one of the actors. Luckily I didn't have a big part, usually I was one of the extra's in the background. Bella was also in the drama, music  and dance club with aswell. Just as I was thinking that the bell went. I gathered my things and went to my next class.

Classes went on without any problems. Right now, it's lunch time and Bella has cheerleading practice so I'm in the library eating my lunch and drawing. The libary is always quite with not many people, especially during lunch time so i can draw without any distractions. Drawings is one of my favourite things other than swimming, singing, reading and dancing. I'm drawing two dolphins in the water, I had seen them on the swim I had gone this morning. I was so focused on the drawing I didn't see that someone was watching me. I was snapped out of focusing on my drawing when someone spoke.
"Nice drawing." says a deep manly voice. I turn around to see who it was, and it was none other than Caleb Grayson. "Thanks" I replied before turning around and continued my drawing.
Out of the Connor of my eye, I saw Caleb pulling out the chair and sitting beside me. I glared at him and asked "What are you doing?" Why can't he go hang out with his buddies and leave my alone.
"Nothing, just sitting here...is that a problem" he asks smirking.
"Yes" I hate his smirk so much. How I wish I could slap that smirk of him.
"How so?"
"Cuz your sitting beside me"
"Sweetheart, that is a blessing not a problem. You should be honoured." He says smugly.
"Don't call me Sweetheart! It's not a blessing and your annoying"
"Ouch princess! That hurts!" He puts his hand over where his heart is and fakes a hurt look. I roll my eyes at him.
"Why don't you do both of us a favour and go hang out with your buddies and leave me alone."
I don't know why but for the last 2 years he has been annoying me more than usual. To make it worse he is always at my house, since Caleb and my brothers are close childhood friends and his parents and my parents are best friends we always go each others houses.
"Where are you going" he asks following me. This boy can't take a hint.
"Away from you" I say walking faster but of course he catches up with me with those long legs of his.
