The Phoenix I Met

Chapter Three

ARES

I walk up the sidewalk, and into the school. And on the way i couldn't stop thinking about that guy from the elevator. Just can't get him off my head. Luckily this school is big enough that I'm not noticed by too many people, i hate being the new girl. Making my way to the front office, i go inside and wait at the desk.
"Hi can i help you?" A nice, older looking brunette woman asks me. "Hi, I'm Ares Rose, today is my first day" i say.
"Ah yes! Your mom is Margaret Rose" she smiles. "So here is your class schedule, and some other things you'll need. Your first class is right down the hall, last door on your left"

"Thank you so much" i smile, taking the paper that she gave me and leaving the office. The hallways were busier as classes were about to start and everyone was rushing. I keep my head down as i walk through, making it to the last door on the left. This felt much more comfortable. It's a small classroom with about 25 desks, only a little over half of them full.

"You must be.." the man trails off as he looks at the binder on his desk. "Ares"
"Yes" i say quietly.
"Go ahead and take a seat... Hmm... Next to Tyson. Hey Tyson can you raise your hand real quick" the teacher says. A boy with dark blue hair sitting on top of his desk raises his hand and shoots me a small smile.
"And get off the desk, i don't need your fat ass breaking it" the teacher says and i can't help but let out a laugh.

Maybe this school won't be so bad after all.
I sit down at my desk, letting my backpack fall to my side. "Hey, I'm Tyson Granger" the guy smiles, putting out his hand.

"Ares, but everyone calls me Arie" i take his hand. "Ah! An American!" He practically announces.

"What part?"

"New York" i answer his question.

"Sick! I've been there a few times too"

"Tyson, if you could stop scaring away our new student, I'd like to begin our lesson" my new favourite teacher says.

"I'm just being friendly!" Tyson defends himself.

English class goes by quickly, and i actually really enjoy it, not just the fun teacher, but having this Tyson guy to talk to every now and then during class was pretty fun too.

Next class is math, which I'm very excited for. Not that anyone in my life cares, but I'm phenomenal at math, for some reason i pick it up very quickly. It's my self proclaimed super power. I walk into the class and instantly feel uncomfortable when i see the dual- haired guy from the elevator. I make sure to sit on the opposite side of the room from him, but that didn't stop us from making some seriously uncomfortable eye contact. We know we both saw each other this morning, we know we live next to each other, but it's just weird. I love this class, and this teacher. The class is small, probably because it's such an advanced level, but i don't mind. Lunch time comes and I uncomfortably make my way into the cafeteria.

This is the worst. Where do I even sit? I don't know anybody here.

"Hey American girl doll, come sit over here" I hear Tyson say.

I walk over to the table and he makes room next to him for me.

"Meet the gang" He says gesturing to the table.
"This is kenny, Max and Ray"
"I'm Ares" I introduced myself to the table.
"So why Japan?" The boy who I think Kenny, asks me.
"What kind of dumb ass question is that?" Max says and I laugh.
"No it's fine" I stop laughing.
"I have fashion week in two months, and my mom is working with some new companies here"
"Fashion week? A model?" Kenny questions.
"Yeah" I answer vaguely, I take notice of the looks exchanging between Tyson and kenny.
"I knew you were a model, I mean come on look at you" Tyson says.
"Dude" Ray shakes his head, finally speaking up for the first time since I came to the table.
"What I'm just saying! She's pretty!" Tyson says.
"Thanks" I laugh, eating my lunch.
"Ignore him, he's obnoxious" Ray says.
"Will do" I laugh.
My day goes by pretty quickly, and it was great. My last few classes weren't too challenging and i feel like I've made a couple friends. Sadly they're all boys but it's harder to warm up to girls, especially when you're a model and your mom is famous. I can't wait to see who I will be here.
