ARABELLA*

PART 1 || PILOT || FIRST DAY*

There I was, sat in my dads car I stole a week ago, facing my new college, Roundview.

I glanced around whilst blowing smoke from my almost worn out cig. As I began to feel myself doze off when suddenly there was a knock at the car door. I opened my eyes and a boy bent down and just looked at me. He had curly hair and a bracey smile. It made me giggle how cute I found him. Not in that way though. 

"what?" I asked.

"my friends," he pointed to two tall boys staring directly in my direction smirking. 

"what about them?" I asked again. 

"They think you're pretty. I mean I do to but they already said you wouldn't go out with me or anything" The boy began waffling. 

"shut up" I interrupted. Not in a rude way just to bring himself back. 

"oh right sorry" he apologised as I saw his smile fade. 

I felt bad, I had to say something. 

"your name?" I asked. 

"oh JJ" he smiled. " wanna know what it stan-"

I cut him off. As much as I loved how cute he was I was already running late.

"no sorry, I'll see you around JJ." I smiled at him throwing my cig out of the window and stepping out of the car. The sun heated up my long baggy top that only covered the very top of my thighs earning warm breezes hitting my skin. The burning of the metal on the long necklaces and bracelets I wore felt nice in a weird way. I began walking until I reached the three boys. I smiled at the two who clearly weren't JJ, knowing they thought I would talk to them. I stopped.

"hi JJ" I patted his shoulder to see him blush. I looked at the other two and gave them a smile as they both looked confused why I didn't talk to one of them first, until the one who was covered in tattoos spoke to his friends.

"here comes another." he whistled. 

I turn my head to see a girl in similar clothing to me, with similar makeup and similar jewellery. Her fishnet tights looked identical to mine and that's when I realised. It was the talk of the town, Tony Stonem's, sister Elizabeth Stonem. She was rather beautiful. I just smiled at the girl earning one in return, I also nodded to the boys to show I was ready to leave. 

"cya boys" I spoke confidently to the three, walking off with a little more sway in my hips than usual.  I turned whilst walking to see the tall tanned boy who's hair fell perfectly and obviously JJ, how could I miss him, still staring in my direction causing a chuckle escape my lips.

Minutes passed and it was now time to enter the hall to have our welcoming's. I sat next to Effy, who smiled at me, and near Pandora, who was getting too excited.

"calm down panda" effy warned. 

It was weird because she instantly settled like Effy was holding her at gunpoint or something. None of my old friends never listened to me like that. I turned around to get a good look at everyone and who I would be spending my year with.  Of course my eyes have to lock on to the boys I had encountered earlier this morning. All I did was smile at the three, mainly JJ,  although the one with the cut under his chin was really pretty. 

"she smiled at me" JJ said blushing.

bless him. 

"she uh, she didn't smile at you, JJ" The taller boy spoke. 

I couldn't make out what they were saying but I felt bad for JJ as the look on his face dimmed.

"I think you find she did, I was the one who talked to her first because you were too much of a pussy to do so. My mum always says I am charming, she's clearly right. She definitely likes me she had the sparkle in her eyes." JJ said trying to prove a point.
