Chapter 13. Locker and Aria.

Next day.

I walked through the hallway, straight to my locker. I took my locker key out of my pockets and put it in. The locker didn't open.

I frowned, trying again and again. It just won't open.

I punched the locker frustrated.

"Ow," I squealed, rubbing my hands.

"What are you trying to do girl?"

I turned to find Devan standing behind me.

"This locker won't open. What's wrong with it?" I complained.

"Umm Mel, this isn't your locker, its 260 and yours is 261," he assured.

"What?" I checked the number, "you are right," I finished.

"You punched the poor locker," Devan joked.

"I am sorry dear locker," I said making a puppy face.

"Enough of that, I got to go, see you later" Devan said, and ran away.

"Excuse me, that's my locker," a sweet voice called out.

I turned around and found a girl with a toned body, long straight blonde hairs, and big blue eyes, sharp nose, tall, tanned and moreover beautiful, just as everybody likes.

I just smiled and moved aside.

"I am Aria, and you?" she said opening her locker.

"I am Melissa," I trailed off, "never saw you around."

"because, I never came to school in this session," she said confident.

"You got such a long leave, they approved it?" I asked confused.

"It's the advantage of being the principal's only daughter," she said smirking.

"You are Aria Baldwin?" I asked for confirming.

"Yes, I am the one," she trailed off, "biology class?" she finished.

"Yeah," I finished.

"Let's go together if you don't mind," she offered.

"Sure, I would love to," I said. I really would.

"Don't treat me like an alien, I am just a normal student," she said staring at me.

"You are different, I thought you would be bragging about being the principal's only daughter," I spoke my heart.

"I do brag about it, but not to you," she said.

"Why? Now you are treating me like an alien, I am just a normal student," I said what she said a few seconds ago.

She smiled and said "you are different too, cause if I said that I was the principal's daughter to any fresher, they would flip out, but you didn't, so I like you," she finished.

"So? We can be friends?" I asked.

"Sure," she answered excited.

We both giggled. She was really nice.

"But, trust me I am bitch to everyone in this school, everyone hates me and loves me at the same time. They love me, because they are scared of me, you can say," she spoke.

"That's bad. I don't even understand how can you be so sweet and all bitch-y at the same time?" I asked confused.

She laughed and said "I am the lead cheerleader and every school has this thing, to hate us, I have no idea why." She sighed.
