ARLEN

"Dex! Right here!"

I was honestly so happy. This day was a blast! I even made a list, so normally I would rank the day in my mind on how good and how bad it was. So this is how it is right now!

GOOD THINGS                                                                                                                                               BAD THINGS

Selon is sitting with me!                                                                                                                                  Dional

Science Competition!

Making Elmery angry!

                                                 Making Elmery laugh...

Ok, this was something that was making me confused for some reason. It was a bad thing since she was literally laughing at me. Good thing...I have never seen her laugh, it was like as if it was a new emotion to her. Every time I looked at her, she either had a poker face on or is extremely angry. The closest she is to the happy emotion is when she is smirking, and that was just annoying. This though... it seemed like a genuine laughter, something she did after a longtime. Even Selon seemed surprised...

Why was I thinking about it so much?

"Hey!" Dex nudged me, "Are you ok? You were zoning out, who are you thinking about~" he started nudging me continuously, I pushed him away and blushed, "N-no one..." I stuttered.

The scary thing was, I was thinking about Elmery.

"Thinking about Selon, are you? Anyway, don't you have a Science Competition coming up?" Dex asked.

"Ya, I do! I'm so excited! I have to go all the way to Mumbai for it."

"Mumbai?! From Delhi?"

"Yup!"

"Your so lucky! I've always wanted to go there on holidays, but my Mom says it's a waste of money," he explained.

"Oh...Well the colleges there are-"

"Hey Dex!"

I flinched. That voice was...

"Hey Van! What's up?" Dex greeted.

"Your still coming to the arcade right? I'll be very disappointed if you-" he noticed me staring at him, "Any problem?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "N-no.." I said looking out of the window, the trees look lovely today!

"Anyways.." He shifted his gaze over to Dex, "your coming right?"

"Ya, of course! Why wouldn't I?"

"Great! I'll see you there!" He patted Dex on the back, he looked at me for a second before walking away. I gulped, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"What's wrong?" Dex asked.

"N-nothing.." I said before looking out of the window, well this day just got even better! [Note the sarcasm.]

But wait, there's more!

I got off the bus, with Van and Selon behind me.

"So, Lexan what are you doing for the weekend?" Selon asked him.

"I'm going to the arcade with my friends!" he said cheerfully.

"Oh cool.. What about you Arlen?" Selon asked.
