I Think I Love You

The Project

~Arianna's POV~

Another day of school. At least it was Friday. I hopped up out of bed and walked into my bathroom which was connected to my room. Turning the shower on and stripping, I got in. The nice warm water hitting my skin helped me wake up. I washed myself and rinsed off. Putting the strawberry scented shampoo in my long, brown hair. Rubbing it around, I finally rinsed it out and then out conditioner in. When I was finally done washing my hair, I turned off the shower and jumped out. I wrapped a towel around my small body and walked out into my bedroom. Across my room, was my walk in closet. I looked around, trying to find something to wear. I picked out something simple- polyvore. I got changed in my closet and then walked out, spraying my Victoria Secret perfume on me on the way out.

Grabbing my backpack and my iPhone, I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. I walked over to the fridge and looked through. I grabbed an apple and some orange juice and poured it into a cup.  "Sissy!" I turned around with the apple and juice in my hand. "Hey boo." I said giving my brother a small hug. In walked my dad. "Good morning daddy." I greeted him as I continued eating my apple. "Morning princess." He walked over to me and gave me a kiss on the forehead. "Listen, I won't be home later. I have to stay late tonight. So can you watch Dylan?" My dad was a police officer, the chief. He was really good at his job. "I have a game tonight. But I can see if Natalie can watch him. She can bring him to the game and that way I can take him home with me after." I told him. "That's fine." "Okay, well I have to go. Bye daddy, bye boo." "BYE!!!" Dylan yelled as I walked to the front door. I hopped into my silver 2013 camaro.

~At school~

I got out of my car and locked it, walking into school. I walked down the hall to my locker, seeing my friends there waiting for me. "Hey guys." "Hey Aria." That's my nickname. They are the only ones that call me that. I call Natalie, Nat and Victoria, Tori. "Oh Nat, I have a small favor for you. Can you watch Dylan at the game for me? My dad has to stay late at work tonight." I asked her. "Sure! Anything for you." She replied. She was such a nice friend. She helps me out with anything. That's why I love her. "Thanks Nat." I hugged her and continued getting the books I needed from my locker. All of a sudden, strong, muscular arms wrapped around my waist and there were lips on my neck. "Hi to you too James." I closed my locker and turned around, lips finding mine. He kissed me kind of roughly. I didn't like it. I pulled away and said, "LEt's get to class." He grabbed my hand and we walked off to our first class, English.  

I sat next to Victoria. We always sit together in English cause it's just us. Natalie has math first. James always sits with his jock friends. Yeah, he's on the football team. And the rest of the people in our class, Victoria and I don't really close to them. So it's just us. We always sit by the windows. It's actually a nice view of the school's garden. A lot of people hang out there. I was pulled out of my thoughts when Mrs. Smith walked into class. "Okay class, today we will start a project." She was cut off by everyone groaning. "Shh. Okay. This project is all about the book we just read over the past weeks. What you have to do is write about something in the book you liked. Then you have to demonstrate it to the class. So you will have to make something or bring something in representing whatever you liked in the book with a brief description." Mrs. Smith told the class. I was writing this all down, thinking of ideas as she continued. "This project is due in two week.  You will not be working on this in class so spend your time wisely. This is why this project will be done in partners." The class cheered. I looked at Victoria and she looked at me. James stood up and started walking over to who ever he was going to work with. "Mr. Arguello, sit down! I will be picking your partners!" Once again, the classroom was filled with groans. 

"Miss. Clarkson and Miss. Cosimo." 

"Mr. Butler and Miss. Winter." 

"Miss. Frosh and Mr. Arguello."

Victoria gave me a worried look. I ignored it, and looked at James. All his friends were giving him a pat on the back and he was.... smirking!?! And so was Miss. Frosh aka Ashley, the most annoying girl ever. I'm a good girl, I don't curse. But she is a backstabber. We used to be friends, until I caught her kissing my boyfriend in middle school. I broke up with him and I ended Ashley and I's friendship. 

"Mr. Nathans and Mr. Matthews."

She kept saying the partners. Then she said mine. 

"Miss. Miranda and ............... ahh, Mr. Mahone." Who is he? I turned around to look. Then I saw, Ryder looking at me, giving me a dirty look. Him?! He was my partner?! The bad boy?! Greaaat.
