Teenager

Chapter 8~Hidden Truths

"Arianna" Frankleen called as he distributes their test scripts round the class
Arianna snatched the script from Frankleen, and her jaw dropped
"a 90? I got more than this. Why is this Physics teacher always crazy" she lamented

Frankleen distributed on "Ivy. Ivy Lane" he called and someone suddenly snatched the script from him, Ivy stands up quickly, looking confused
"Hey. Give it back" Frankleen ordered
Arianna giggled "Ivy Lane. A 40"

Arianna bursted out in laughter
"That's not even close to the pass mark" she mocked and other jerks like her joined in the mockery
Ivy stood frozen at her desk, THIS WAS WHAT SHE ALWAYS TRIED TO AVOID, DON'T THEY GET IT, SHE HAS NO FRIEND BECAUSE OF THIS... SHE'S AFRAID OF BEING STABBED. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME she looks around and storms out in shame.
"Arianna-

"Let me" David interrupted Frankleen sharply. Then he turned to Arianna "what on earth is wrong with you? Have you gone nuts?"
"take it easy dumbfuck" Arianna said moving slowly away from David.

"Wait who the fuck are you? Do you think you can just talk to anyone anyhow" David yelled angrily at her
Arianna looked at David in deterioration "who are you to question me? The assistant senior male prefect? Do I have to remind you you just an assistant? Batson you are an assistant, an assistant for crying out loud"
David looked at her with a chortle "you got a 90? If you were smart enough you should have scored 100. So stop ranting you clout chaser"

He didn't wait for her response as he also storms out of the class and a loud bang followed his exit.
Arianna turned to others in the class "what?" They all scurried to their business at her yell.

David stopped immediately he sights Ivy sitting at a corner with a sad look on her face and her swollen eyes.

SHE MIGHT HAVE CRIED HELL.

He thought to himself. With a long sigh, he walked up to her
He crouched beside her and she moved to the wall a bit
"Hey" he managed to say
"Go away. Disturbance is the last thing on my mind now" Ivy said avoiding David's gaze
"Actually-
"Actually what" Ivy snapped immediately. She sounded angry "Arianna, Kaid, you all are the same. Just that your own birds don't flock together"
David ran his hand through his hair.

He lowers his gaze "no, we aren't. We are different, everyone differ from the other"
"Is it a crime to be dull? Is it my fault my dumb brain isn't carrying academics. I read but after some minutes i just go blank... Is it my fault, I'm trying my best" Ivy wept, David moved nearer closing the gap between them
"It's not your fault. That Arianna was trying to be a jerk, she was trying to hurt you" David patted her back

"Hurt? Hurt! Hurt!! Hurt!!! Is what I feel every damn time. That's why I withdrew to myself, friends are fake, they are like green snakes under green grass, they will strike when you are not looking. If hurting me was what Arianna wanted there" Ivy snorted "well she succeeded"
David disagreed "not yet. I don't know what you might have passed through but it's not over yet. You can still win this, you can still be the brilliant Ivy, I disagree with you if you say you are dull. No one is, it just takes one to develop"

Ivy wiped the tears on her face "will you tutor me" she batted her teary eyelashes hoping for a positive answer.

"I was hoping you'll say that" David chuckled
Ivy stands up and smiled at him "thanks" She muttered and leaves David sight.

SHE SMILED, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HE WILL SEE HER SMILE, SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.
David heart leapt in joy as his gaze followed her, never thought it would be this easy. What he had been contemplating on for the past years.
"Ivy I love you" he whispered

Chris' P.O.V.
Arianna's annoying taps leaves me with an angry face. I followed her gaze with mine and it landed on Table 9, where Gideon, David and Frankleen were sitted
I cleared my throat and she shifts her gaze to me.

With a long hiss, she returns her gaze to the trio at Table 9. IS SHE LOST STARING AT GIDEON? WELL NO, APPARENTLY NOT THIS TIME.

"Ari what's wrong with you" Brittany asked dropping her cutleries
Arianna shrugged "nothing"
"Well I think there is" I blurted out to Brittany and turned my gaze to Table 9 "she's looking at them"
Brittany rolled her eyes returning her gaze from Table 9 "when will you stop being Gideon's puppet"

"I'm not his puppet" Arianna shot back angrily earning everyone's gaze
"She isn't talking to you dumb dumbs" Brittany said and they all returned to their meal.
I picked up my fork "Ari tell me, does this guy even likes you"

"He doesn't Ari. He's not even giving you any attention" Brittany replied sharply
"I'm not staring at Gideon" Arianna yelled and Gideon turned slowly to our table. Few seconds after, he, David, and Frankleen stands up from their table moving out of the cafeteria.

"Will you stop yelling" I scolded
"And who brought you into this matter. Who are you sef?" Arianna said eyeing me
"Arianna" Brittany called giving her sister a glaring look.
"What" Arianna retorted "you and your petty boyfriend you should get lost"
She said and storms out angrily
I looked at Brittany, she fakes a smile and leaves also.

I lowered my head avoiding everyone's gaze, THESE TWO SPOILT BRAT. MOREOVER, BRITTANY AND I AREN'T DATING SO WHY CALL ME HER BOYFRIEND. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT.

Chris' P.O.V.
"I heard the brawl at the cafeteria. You and the Damons" Victory said
I nodded "yeah. Total disgrace"
She chuckled "you gave yourself in yunno"
"What do you mean" I asked looking keenly at Victory. WOW! IS THIS THE FIRST TIME I WILL LOOK AT HER INTERESTINGLY. SHE'S VERY CUTE AND THE KIND I CALL SPEC, SHE'S MORE THAN PRETTY, DON'T MIND DATING HER THO.

"Don't you hear rumors?"
"About myself?"
"And the Damons" Victory added. Then she continued "are you really dating Brittany"
"No" I replied her sharply and I probably caught her smile for a second
"But you are always with her. Them" she frowned.

I chuckled knowing what she meant.

"is this about Brittany or the Damons"
"Answer me" she shot
"Just on normal levels. There's no relationship between us except friendship" I replied "and why do everyone think we are dating"
"Coz you frolic and flirt with her" she shot angrily "do you like her? Just say it and let me air out my feelings"
"No, I don't like her. Wait, your feelings?" I puzzled, squeezing my face in confusion
Victory looked away "nevermind"
"Do you like me"
"Chris" I heard a feminine voice. The feminine figure pressed her body against my back and I realized who it was COMMON NOT THIS TIME...
