5. The Trio

Enjoy :)

"You seem kind of tired today... did you sleep well last night?" Harry asked me as he drove us to school.

"Nope... I can't sleep." I mumbled.

Lesson I learnt? Never stay up the whole night when you have school tomorrow. I could have two hours of sleep but no, my mind wouldn't agree with me.

Right now I am feeling really sleepy when I have school. Thanks a lot, mind.

My eyelids are becoming heavier by the second. Maybe I could just close my eyes...

"Helena!" My eyes flew open.

I saw Harry mumbling something but I could exactly hear them.

"What?"

"We're here." Harry got out of the car.

I got out of the car and stifled a yawn and stretched my arms. It felt great.

"Hey I gotta go see my teammates... I'll catch up with you alright?" Harry gave me a quick hug and went off towards his football teammates.

I sighed and walked towards the school building. If only I have friends to depend on... I see other kids meeting each other here and walking together to their class laughing. It could be individual or pairs but they seemed to be sharing a close-knitted friendship.

As much as I am grateful if someone catches up with me in the parking lot to discuss about some school-related stuff, I want the real deal.

I want friends that I can depend on and share inner jokes with, not barging in the middle of people's conversation hoping that I can somehow catch up.

I felt an arm slung on my shoulder. "'Sup Pikachu."

"A-Alex?"

"Great I thought you forgot all about me." He smiled at me.

"How could I? Especially since you told me that yesterday's going to be the night I'll never forget."

"Come on then, let's meet my friends." He steered me into another direction.

"Your friends?" I echoed.

"Yeah. Why?" He asked me.

"Nothing... come on let's meet them." My voice sounded enthusiastic.

If only he knows how I feel inside. Seriously what do you think you're doing? Obviously my mind would think like that. I mean they are like the bad boys in the school. They do whatever they wanted and no one really stopped them.

Well, I heard that the principal has spoken to them countless of times but I guess people don't really change.

We walked towards two guys who were leaning against a sleek black car. Alex looked really happy to see his two pals. I, on the other hand was feeling uncomfortable. What if they hurt me?

"Hi I'm Danny!" I blinked.

Danny just said hi to me and that was not something I had expected. I expect them to maybe give me a curt nod... something other than saying hi.

"Uh... Is she okay?" Danny asked Alex in a worried tone.

"Yeah she is." Alex replied him and turned to me. "Lost your voice Pikachu?"

"Shut up. I'm just a little... nervous." I admitted.

"I think you're scaring her Danny." Owen spoke.

Yeah, both of them are Alex's friend and they are similar in certain ways. Like I mentioned earlier, they're partners in committing offenses. And they are undeniably good looking in their own ways.

Danny Richard is the one with the shoulder-length black hair. He would have looked dangerous if only he didn't have a baby face. The feature that most girls like about him is his bright blue eyes. Yeah I agree that he looked cute but I just find it weird if someone has dark hair and contrasting irises.

Owen Ford on the other hand, is like the good boy in the group. He is the one with the cropped short blond hair and tan skin. I guess what makes girls admire him is his dazzling smile. Really, he looked kind of innocent that makes it hard to believe that he's involved with them.

Lastly, Alex Gold. He is the leader of the three. He is also blessed with looks that makes girls melt when they see him, or that's what they said. I wonder why I didn't feel it that way...

"Hello? Earth to Pikachu?" Alex snapped his long fingers in front of my face.

"Uh... I'm sorry what?" I asked them.

"We were kind of introducing ourselves to you... I"m Owen." He let out his hand.

"I'm Helena Williams." I returned his handshake.

"So why are you nervous?" Danny asked me.

I gave him a blank look. "You told Alex earlier that you're nervous." Danny pointed out.

"Well, I didn't think that I'd meet you guys today if you know what I mean. Because you're the Trio, you're the-"

"Hold up." Alex stopped me. "The Trio?"

I nodded. "Or the Hot Shot."

"What else?" Danny seemed interested.

"The Hotties, the guys..." I recalled.

"You know Pikachu, I never pegged you as the gossiper." Alex commented.

"It's not gossip. I just know stuff because I talk to different people." I defended myself.

"Alex why did you call her Pikachu?" Danny asked. I never thought he is observant.

"Long story." Alex answered.

"The names they call us... I'm pretty sure Sabrina would be pissed if she finds out that she isn't recognized as a part of us." Owen finally spoke.

"I hope not." Alex said.

Sabrina? Who is she? She sounds familiar but then again, I talk to everyone. I was about to ask them who Sabrina is when the bell rang.

"I gotta go to class." I walked to the school building.

"See you in lunch!" Danny shouted.

As I promised, new characters are introduced. Except for Sabrina.

Who do you think is Sabrina? How is she related to the guys?
