Garcia's Property

Chapter Three

☆Claire

I hate Mondays. Especially now since I'm starting at a whole new school. It's not the friends that I'm scared of making. Making friends comes really easy to me. In fact, I think it might even run in the family except Kalon may not have gotten those genes.

Ever since we were little, he's always found it hard to make friends and I never knew why. Kalon was actually really funny and intelligent and even if I wasn't his sister I'd still think so.

But anyway what I was really scared of was keeping up with my gardes. Academically, I wasn't too good. Kalon stole all those genes. It also doesn't help that mum's become even more up tight about it ever since what happened with dad. Although, I can't blame her, she was just trying to focus on other things and ignore what happened and I get that. But it still doesn't make up for the fact that she got Blake in on it now too which is so annoying.

"I gotta go my first lessons Science and I can't be late again. See you guys later." Hunter says before walking off while we wave goodbye.

"Yea I'm gonna go too. See you Kalon" I say ready to socialise before walking off into a random direction.

After, aimlessly wandering around for what seemed like hours I decide to work up the courage and ask someone for directions. Eventhough, I really hated asking for help I was desperate. You couldn't blame me, the school was massive.

I walk up to a tall dark skinned boy with dreads who was currently facing the other way and tap him lightly.

"Um excuse me i-" I start but stop when he turns around.

This man was beautiful. He had deep black hunter eyes, a sharp jawline that looked like it cut butter, plump pink lips and deep arched brows that just tyed all his features together beautifully.

"Yea" he says in a deep baritone voice. I just stand there shocked, my mouth slightly agape at this model staring at me expectantly. But I am soon snapped out of it as he clears his throat.

"Oh uh yeah um do you know where classroom v12 is?" I ask stammering.

"Uh its right there"

I mentally facepalm myself as I stare at the door with a plate on it reading in capital bold 'v12'.

I do an embarrassing chuckle before speaking up again "Oh uh I'm really sorry I didn't, I wasn't really." I stop myself before I continue and taking a deep breath before opening my mouth again. "I'm really sorry I'm new and I didn't realise a school could have such beautiful people."

He smirks before replying, "Haha yeah I could tell and you are pretty cute but I gotta girlfriend so". Oh he thought I was hitting on him. Don't get me wrong he was cute but I wasn't really interested in getting into a relationship as this year I wanted to focus on my academic studies.

"Oh no sorry I wasn't trying to hit on you, I was just saying." I reassure quickly before adding on, " Are you in this class too. My names Claire what's your name?"

"Oh no its fine and yeah I'm in this class. My names Devontè. By the way our teacher, Mr Diatra normally comes in late so sometimes we just get an extra free period."

"He seems like my kind of teacher. So what do you do in those 'free periods'?" I ask intrigued in the conversation.

"None of your business," a random voice butt's in.

I turn to its owner to see a really pretty Latina girl with butt length chocolate hair, thin arched brows, perfect lashes, and soft, thick lips.

"And who are you?" I snap back.

"I'm adeline. His girlfriend, " She says, slinging her arm around his wait protectively. It was pretty embarrassing due to the height difference, and I couldn't help but snort.

" Ugh, Addy, stop. Why are you being so meant to her. She's Claire, and she's just a friend." Devontè clears up while brushing her arm off him. " And why are you even here? Isn't your first lesson Physcology? Don't tell me you're skipping again."

"But i wanted to be with you, and who cares about Physcology anyway?" She coos making a little baby voice, and I visibly cringe. Devontè sees and grins, showing off his pearly whites as I  feel  the heat get to my cheeks.

She coughs before asking, "So are we gonna stand here or can we get that free period you were talking about?"

"Oh uh right" Devontè says before checking his watch," We've only got 30 minutes left so we might aswell go."

"To the hideout?" Adeline questions forcing her voice to come out high pitched.

"Uh yea," Devontè replies, irritated, "Claire, you coming?"

But before I can even respond, Adelyn opens her big, fat gob again, " WHAT BUT BABY THATS OUR SPOT". And I really tried to contain it I did, but I burst out laughing. Her forced baby voice was too much. I really didn't understand why she was trying so hard to act like a baby as if that's what Devontè liked.

I could see Devontè holding back laughter too before he cleared his throat and said, " Adelyn it was never our spot, it's me and my friends spot. I only invited you that one time cus I felt bad. Now either Claires gonna come or your not."

"Ugh you know what, I never wanted to come anyways." She replies snarkly before turning to me, "Have fun stealing my boyfriend but we all know who he'll come back to once he's done with you." And with that, walked off.

What did she mean ' once he's done with you'. I tried not to linger on her words as she must have just been trying to intimidate me. Yea that's probably it.

" Well should we go?" Devontè asks all the irritation gone from his voice.

"Yes we shall." I say pushing my previous thoughts to the back of my mind.

    

                               ☆

"Haha no way she was being serious. How are you still with her?" I laughed.

"Yea she can be pretty annoying at times but she's helped me through really hard times." He smiled, staring up at the blue sky.

We were laying on the table of a  secluded bench that was just beyond the forest of trees behind the school.

"This is so relaxing. I wish I could stay like this forever." I say changing the subject. It really was relaxing though. Just staring up at the sky as the clouds passed above our heads just talking about whatever came to kind, I didn't want the moment to come to an end. And it only added that Devontè's voice was so soothing.

"Ye-" But before he could fully respond a voice shouted in the distance.

"Devontè is that you?"

It's sounded familiar and I could hear the footsteps get progressively faster.

" Oh there you are." A brunnette boy said before taking in my presence. "Seriously Devontè second time today and it's only Monday."

Huh. What was he talking about. I sat up intrigued to find out what this godlike statue crafted by the hands of Michelangelo himself was talking about.

"Matteo." Devontè got off the bench before walking over to him and whispering something in his ear before the boy shook his head and stepped back.

Devontè then turned to me. "Um Claire I'll take you back you probably need to meet up with your brother right now since it already break."

"Oh ok." I say eventhough I was still confused as ever but decide to brush it off as I do with everything and chose to follow them.
