Mari POV
Fran started dragging me to the school garden for who knows what reason.
"Fran, what do you wanna talk about?" I asked impatiently.
"You know Janville Flynn Wood??" She asked.
"That weirdo? Yeah." I answered light heartedly.
"He's not a weirdo. I-I mean, a bit.. well yeah he is, he is. Well.... He pulled me to the janitors closet and-" I cut her off.
"HE WHAT?! DID HE DO ANYTHING WITH YOU?!" I shouted with eyes wide as plates.
"What? No, as much as I wanted to though.." She looked down.
"Good." I calmed down and stared at her coldly. "Continue." And then it struck me. "Wait what?"
"And then he started asking me about you." She smiled, totally dodging my question.
"That creep.. Kay, I'll go. Bye." I said lazily as I was about to walk out.
"What?! No! Wait! Do you think that maybe he likes you?" She asked. I stopped dead on my tracks and turned to her with a disgusted face.
"Eww, in your dreams!" I snorted. "You could just think that he'll hate me." I smiled at that thought. I mean, I don't care if he'll hate me because I already hate him.
I walked to my classroom when I heard the bell ring. I cursed under my breath. My next class would be with that Janville playboy.
I grabbed my stuff and went to the next classroom. Science. Janville. Wood. Just, great. Note the sarcasm.
When I got to the classroom, I hurriedly went to the back seat near the window. I placed my bag there and wore my ear phones, playing the violin version of Photograph by Ed Sheeran.
Poke.
What the heck? Someone just poked my shoulder. I turned to my right to see a weird Janville. Just great. Note the sarcasm again.
"What?" I asked as I pull off one of my earphones.
"I'm going to sit next to you." He said casually.
"Why'd you need to ask?" I frowned, clearly annoyed.
"I thought someone sat here." He replied.
"I'm an introvert. Don't expect much." I shook my head.
"Whatever you saaaay," He dragged out.
I placed my earphone back and stared outside the window again. I already know the lesson, what's the point in listening?
I can't wait for it to be lunch so that I could play my violin.
"May I ask you a question?" Janville asked.
"What Janville?" I raised an eyebrow at him.
"First, don't call me Janville, I hate it. Call me Jan. Second, have you dated anyone before?" He asked curiously. I was taken aback by his question.
"Uhmm... No." I answered awkwardly.
"Oh okay." He awkwardly huffed.
"Why are you asking me questions?" I asked.
"Don't mind it." He blankly said. I didn't reply, I just put on my earphones again and staring outside.
•~•~•~•~•~•
It's finally lunch. My alone time. I was walking to my locker, where I had placed my violin.
I felt my phone vibrate. I fished it out of my pocket and saw that Fran is calling me.
Phone Conovo: M-Me F-Fran
M- What do you want?
F- Where are you?
M- Huh?
F- Where are you??
M- Locker.
F- Locker? Talk more! You're so small in words. Are you coming with me??
M- Where?
F- Cafeteria
M- No
F- But... But...
M- Ugh fine
F- Yes! I knew you wouldn't say no to me!
M- Whatever be there in 5
F- Kay
Call Ended.
I grabbed my violin from my human sized locker. I walked straight to the garden near the cafeteria and hid my violin by the bushes and went to the cafeteria.
"Hey.." I greeted coldly while placing my lunch on the table.
"Hey! What's your food?" Fran asked.
"An apple, salad and water." I answered.
"Yeesh, little miss healthy!" Fran said with disgust.
"How about you?" I asked rolling my eyes.
"T Bone steak!!" Fran roared and started eating freakishly.
"For a girl you eat like a dinosaur." I stated eyeing her.
"Whatever! At least I'm a girl!" She said with a mouth full. I rolled my eyes and started eating.
Jan POV
"Bro, what are you doing?" Dwayne asked beside me. I'm now at the cafeteria, staring at Mari and Fran. They both are eating. Mari with a salad and Fran with a steak.
"Eating." I answered while taking a bite of my chicken.
"Okay, mind if I join you?" Dwayne asked.
"No." I answered. He nodded and started eating his pizza beside me.
"Are you staring at Mariana??" Dwayne looked at the way I was looking.
"No... Yeah... Maybe.." I answered looking away.
"Bro, I just found out that she's my cousin!!" Dwayne sheepishly grinned. My eyes widened.
"WAIT WHAT?!" I shouted.
"Her full name's Mariana Tryanne S. Flord. My full name's Dwayne Chris S. McBeth. Our S's stand for Steinfield! We're basically cousins! My mother's sister is her mother!!" He chuckled. I on the other hand was shocked with eyes wide and mouth open.
"W-what?!"
"Yeah!! Oh look, they're leaving!" Dwayne said while finishing up his pizza.
"Oh I gotta go! Bye!" I coldly remarked and stood to follow Mari secretly. Dwayne waved hyperly.
I was following Mari and Fran when they both split up. I swear I saw Fran glance at me when they hugged. I ignored it and followed Mari to the garden. She seemed to pick up something. It was a violin cover. She's going to play right now? At this time? There's 30 more minutes until math. There's a test, doesn't she ever study?
I followed her to the auditorium. She jogged to the stage while I sat on the back-right chair. It was dark in this part so she won't notice me. She started playing. The song was My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion. I was swaying and feeling the music. Then she hit the chorus. I closed my eyes and felt the music more.
That's when I fell off my chair causing her to stop.
"Who's that?" She asked.
"Uhh...." I thought of some excuse.
"Jan?!" She exclaimed.
"No!" I shouted.
"Oh really?" She crossed her arms and walked to my spot. I was still trying to get up. "Stupid." I heard her say infront of me. She gazed at me with her beautiful but cold eyes.
"Dumb." I teased back, frowning.
"Asshole." She said with venom clear on her word.
"Freak." I narrowed my eyes. I saw that she was taken aback by my word. 'Stupid Jan!' I thought to myself. "Uhh... Sorry.. I didn't mean to.." I said looking down. "I really didn-" I got cut off.
"Don't. I'm used to it." She said.
"I see you're good at playing the violin.." I said trying to start a conversation.
"Why are you talking to me?" She asked.
"Hmm?"
"You should be busy with your fan girls. All of them would kill just to date you. Yet you're here, listening to a pointless person's music." She said.
"You're not pointless. You're a meaningful beautiful creature. A human being." I said trying to hold her hand but she flinched.
"Don't ever go near me ever again. Don't talk to me nor listen to me play ever again." She stated and jogged to the stage and got her stuff.
