Ariel's POV
The rest of the day went well. I met a girl named Flora and she was really nice. I found out that she had a sister who used to study here in Atlantic High. She is now living a successful life working as a reporter. That motivated Flora to come here.
Throughout the day teachers were introducing us to the school and welcoming us. We even carried out some ice-breaker games to get to know each other more.
I came to know Flora during a game called "Fishing net" and we had to partner up. At first I thought she was the quiet type who wouldn't be so enthusiastic towards the game. It turns out I was wrong. She was so into the game she kept tugging me to where she wanted to go. Then we had lunch together.
"Don't you think our batch is cool?" she asked.
I looked up from my plate of spaghetti and nodded. Then I took a sip from my cup of blueberry juice. When I placed it down, I swear to God I almost choked.
Before me stood a tall, blond, perfectly tanned creation of God. No, I'm not talking about myself. Even though it was possible. He looked at me with his sea blue eyes and let out a small laugh. This instantly made me drool. Oh fellow rare species please take me to your castle where we can ride a unicorn to who cares where...
I fantasized about how we were going to get married and have a family and live in a castle where everything's perfect. It would be called The Castle of Ariel and-
Just as I was trying to remember his name, Flora snapped me back to reality. Literally. She was snapping in my face.
"Cut it out. Can't you see I'm trying to imagine the two of us together?"
"Actually, no I can't. You looked as if Medusa had just turned you to stone" she said.
I was suprised at how fast the two of us were getting along. We just met a few hours ago.
"Well if Medusa had a brother then yes, I did just see him. Do you remember his name? I can't start calling him Medusa or some guy name for Medusa"
It took a while for Flora to remember but she finally did.
"Eric! Yes, Eric! I remember from the time he hit me hard with a dodgeball and was scolded by Mr Tride during the ice breaker game. He was tough. And mean. You don't wanna go near him, Ariel. I have a bad feeling about him.
Of course, I still couldn't just let him go. I had to know this guy better. Who was he? What kind of person is he? And most importantly, does he have a girlfriend?
