Meant To Be

"What?! He dropped out of school?'' Sam shouted at the cafeteria.

''Shh... You're getting everyone's attention dude. Calm down and speak softer.''

''Oppsie..'' Sam said with her hand on her mouth, looking around. ''So? What's next?''

''He actually found a job as a bartender in Bound. Ya' know that place? He says it's near my place.''

''This is seriously not gonna end well.'' She raised her eyebrows at me before continued, ''That place, is well known for sluts, babe.'' Our eyes meet for a while.

''Am I supposed to have any reaction?''

''Shouldn't you have any reaction? Hello? He's your boyfriend? He's gonna work at a place full of bitches? And I even heard that the bitch over there loves to hang out there.'' She tilted her chin up to the direction of another table. I followed her gaze and saw Mitchy Marcell. Well, our past go a long way back starting back from kindergarten. She came from the most well-off familly in the state. All I can conclude is that we were rivals right from the start for no apparent reason. Everything she does irritates me, and vice versa.

"Right. But still, I trust Des." I nodded to myself.

"You serious babe?"

"Come on. Everything will be fine."

"Well, I don't care anyway. We are going to hang around there tonight. And don't you dare decline my offer. Its been forever since we hang out."

"As always, you're exaggerating things. Its only a week. And I might be grounded if I go home late tonight. I almost was yesterday."

"Don't worry. I always have my way through your parents." She gave me a grin. "Come on. It will be fun."

"You won't let things off easily will you?"

"What do ya' think?"

"Fine." I threw my hands up as a sign of surrender. "You win. Meet me after school.And I will go to your place AFTER my mom's permission. I seriously need your closet so much."

"Deal. Now off to class. Don't get too excited with all those hunks waiting you there." I rolled my eyes and stood up. I waved Sam goodbye and went off to my locker. It's chemistry class, the subject I hated most. I slammed my locker close and got shocked when I saw Mitchy's face right beside me.

"What? Your locker is over there. I did not provoke you."

"Well, I just wanna walk this path, but seems like your ass is blocking the way. Now could you please get out of the way? And maybe you might want to be on a diet. You are extremely fat."

"Excuse me? You are making things hard here. Just mind your own business and I'll mind mine." I glared at her and walked away, slamming her shoulder with mine. Anger built up in me as I stormed my way to class.

I took a seat at the back of the class and started doing my own things for the next five minutes. I took out my chemistry notepad and a pen out, ready to take notes. I may not like to study, but neither do I want to fail my exams. I don't want to repeat this year all over again. Just then, someone came up to me, knocking my desk. It was Jay.

"Hey there. What's up?"

"Yeah right. What's up with you?"

"Calm down Rose. I came here to apologise. For yesterday. I thought you were someone else. Someone I knew. Sorry."

"I accept your apology, and it would be best if you leave me alone before I vent my anger on you. And DON'T, ever call me Rose." I looked up, staring at him.

"Right. Girl power. How about a self introduction? Come on. Let's just be friends. My name is Xavier Emerson, everyone calls me Jay, I came from-"

"Well, I don't think that's neccesary."

"Well, I think it is." I let out a sigh, admitting defeat. I shook his outstretched hand.

" Roxanne Clover. Now could you please get out of my sight?"

"Right, friend." A smile lit his face. His face was even more perfect with a smile, but I was too angry to just be attracted to it. Finally, he walked back to his seat just in time Mr.Moone walked into the room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Fann asked me to tell all of you that it is time to choose your extra activities, and you will have to go to the office after school for more details. Now, don't get too excited here, we're starting our class." The noise level started to rise. I was getting excited too. I heard that there are new activities available this year. "QUIET!!!" The class turned into silence, and thats when Mr.Moone started his same old boring chemistry class.

***************

The bell rang, and the peaceness of the class turned into roars of laughter. I walked out of the class and headed towards the lockers. I left my things neatly before turning into the corner to the office. There, loads of people stood there waiting. I went to the back of the queue, but it wasn't long before people started to queue up behind me. Suddenly, someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around and saw Jay.

"Hey there. What activity are you going to sign up for? Maybe we can enter an activity together, sweetheart."

"Stop it. I don't wanna go to the same activity as you. And trust me. You are getting on my nerves, friend."He hold his hands up innocently. "Look, I know you mesmerised tonnes of girls and a whole lot of them are following you everywhere," I hold my chin up at the direction where the girls giggle away at the sight of him and continued, "But I am not one of them. Seriously darn not."

"Okay, but I did not and will never treat you like one of them, coze you are not. And I admire you that way." He winked at me, which gave me goosebumps all over. "Hey, it's your turn. Go on." He tenderly pushed me to the front and Ms. Fann came face to face.

"Here's the list of available activities, bring it home and think about it. I want the reply slip to be fully filled, and passed to me by tommorrow." She passed me the paper and I walked away with fast speed, just in case Jay follows me again.

I walked towards the carpark area where Sam and I had agreed on meeting. There she was, sitting on her car hood, next to mine, as if in a Hollywood show. I almost burst into laughter. "Seriously babe, stop it. Or you may be on the front cover of the school's magazine next week."

"Seriously babe, don't fool me. I write the school's magazine." Both of us laughed at our own jokes, hard for others to understand. Sam was very different from me. Her studies, I must say, is awesome. To me, she is a genius. She is pretty, amazing. Jealousy always overtook me whenever she got surrounded by guys. She was hard to resist.

"Where's your slip?" She took out a piece of paper and waved around.

"Come on, it's time for a parental talk." She giggled all the way through as we jumped into our own cars respectively and drove off to my place. My heart started to pumped faster as we were one step closer from home. Sam better not get me grounded.

We drove into the garage, and walked to the front door. I turned the key in with trembling hands, while Sam pressed the door bell. I didn't expect her to come faster than me turning the key. There, we came face to face with my apron-wearing mom.
