Chapter 5: Curiosity is Just My Thing

“Sorry, I thought you’re Natalie.” I muttered, removing my arm around her and proceed on eating my pizza like it’s no big deal.

But I must have said different profanities in different languages already.

“It’s okay.” I heard Aria mumbled. “You smell really nice though.” She sniffed,

I bet I wasn’t meant to hear it but we all heard it anyway and Drake laughed loudly.

“Absolutely right about that.” Josh chuckled.

I finished my pizza although deep inside I have this new ego boost because they think I smell nice. I tried my best to hide my smile.

Drake smirked. “Dude, we can still smell you in five yards.” He said and took a mouthful of pancake in his mouth.

“You smelling me now?” I teased and drank my coke.

Drake grinned widely as he chewed. “Only you, hot shot. So write your sweet-smelling name on the sweet-looking sheet to experience the sweet-awesome life of playing basketball!” He hollered as he stomp the try-out sheet to me for the fourth time.

“You’re not going to give-up do you?” I sighed.

“Only when Natalie goes out with me.” Drake winked at Natalie.

“Never.”

“Exactly.” Drake nodded.

Natalie then added, “Besides, guys who play sport are cool.”

“Will all of you stop saying that?” I demanded.

“Hey, I said that!” Aria pointed out.

“Exactly.” Georgina emphasizes and narrowed her eyes in my direction.

I gave them a flat look and turned my attention to Josh and Brody who started bickering again.

“I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and spill out a smarter statement than that.” Brody said.

Josh snorted. “Oh really, how nice is that?”

Drake slaps the table loudly, surprising the girls and getting the attention of some. Josh and Brody stared nervously at Drake who looks scarily frightening.

“Good, now that shut you up.” He smirks.

Being friends with Drake is fun… but also scary.

You’ve got to be kidding me. I groaned inwardly.

I would rather have a two-hour History class than to be a part of this pairing nonsense in Psychology.

Mrs. Jenkins, the marshmallow, expects us to “get to know” our partner and something between the lines of telling your “first impression”.

Well, it would be reasonable if we haven’t known each other ever since we started schooling, Stupid. 

Supposedly, the pairing is by surname and I would supposedly be paired with my sister, but Natalie claimed that she already knew every fiber of my being and asked for an exchange.

And supposedly, it would be the ones whose surname’s starts with V or X, the ones before or next to your surname. But no, she picked G. And the only G in this class is Aria Gabriels and Tim Gottfried.

Of course G and W are awfully close. It is only 16 letters apart, genius.

It’s a no brainer who I got paired to. I have this feeling that Natalie and Georgina’s been teaming up on me and Aria.
