#*Caroline's POV*#
Next day was a complete mess. It was not easy being a Junior. The number of assignments that had to be submitted kept on loading over us. Most were to be submitted by Monday, which was after the weekend (thank heavens!). Then there were group assignments to be done and I was pretty sure I had a role play in the upcoming class, AP Lit. I've heard they keep class plays every term. It was also the class I shared with the one-n-only Cameron Leighton.
Steph waved me over by her side and then went on to Taylor Swift's boyfriend. From there she landed on chattering about Bebe Rexha's hits and how passionate and dedicated she was, then to Miley Cyrus and after that, I just tuned out her gossip. That girl needs gossip as much as we need oxygen to breathe.
By lunch time, I felt like I ran through a wheel like a hamster for nonstop two hours. To say I was exhausted was an understatement. I lined up at the counter and headed towards our table. I sat beside who I thought was Charlie. I was going to ask him a doubt that was stuck in my mind of our Calculus assignment when I was surprised when it wasn't Charlie's eyes that met mine. These were chocolate brown, luring me into oblivion.
But they were unlike those which I had been dreaming about, day in and out.....Ah!There you are subconsciousness, ready to taunt me?
Don't be sarcastic with me, I know you in and out since I practically live inside you.
Ew! You talk like I'm the host plant and you're the germ living inside me.
You mean I'm a parasite? Did biology fly out the window? Especially since you've been concentrating more on Leighton than the lecture in class.
Oh, shut up!
I brought my attention back to Cameron. He just stared at me, and his strong jawline became so sharp like he wanted to kill me. I sheepishly grinned, I'm sure it looked like I never smiled in my entire existence.
He stalked off furiously, tray in one hand and bag in the other. Weird much? Maybe I shouldn't have intruded in his personal space, but he could have smiled, wasn't it the best accessory everyone owned?
I look around searching for Steph and the twins when I realized the twins had to attend an Orientation like I did when I came here. I scout for Steph and find her talking to a few other girls near the corridor.
I walk up to her just as she smiles at me. I wait for the girls to leave and Steph pulls me over to a table, motioning for me to sit.As I settle myself she heads over to the cafeteria and gets us a couple of wraps. Motioning for me to eat, she unwraps one and says,
"So you know that you're a newbie here, and you haven't really gotten a chance to be acquainted with the others at school so why don't you come to my party this weekend? The whole junior and senior classes are going"
"Wait you're holding a party? Why?", I enquire, curiously.
"Simply, but also because my parents are heading over to Montana to visit my grandma.",she replies, "The girls here wanted to find someone's place to hold a party and I said mine would accommodate all the girls. It's a Girls-Only party!! So, your crush won't be there sweetcheeks." she continues grinning. I deadpan at her.
"So would you grace us with your overwhelming presence?", she adds cheekily. "It would give us a chance to blend in the crowd. Charlotte will be there too. Plus, it would be a fun sleepover." Steph looks at me, anxiously awaiting my reply.
"Sure, I'd like to see how parties are done in the West.", I said, smiling at her.
"Good, cause I wouldn't have gone otherwise.", she says hastily, getting up just as the bell goes off, signaling the end of recess.
"Seriously, you wouldn't have attended your own party?", I chuckle at her.
She laughs at me,"Honeycakes, you don't know what I'm capable of."
I twirl, walking backward in front of her, as we head to class. "Really Madonna." I say playfully mocking her," What are you capable of?"
We walk out to the hallways ,just as she looks over my shoulder and, " You're gonna crash", is all she says.
Split second later, I'm on the floor with books all around me. Steph looks at me and laughs hysterically.
"If you're done mocking me, would you give me a hand.", I say grumpily.
"Sure", she says helping me up.
I look over at the other person in my minor accident. He's probably in the same class as us, a bit taller than Steph and I. He's wearing a blue denim jacket with a black shirt underneath, and currently, his hazel eyes are looking at me checking him out.
"Oh, I'm so sorry for that, I hope you're okay.",I say, embarrassed.
"Oh, um, it's okay, I'm fine. Just let me pick my stuff. Got Mr. Turner next, and I sure don't want detention.", he says picking up the books. "By the way, I'm Aiden. Aiden Hastings. But, you can call me Aidy.", he adds flashing his straight white teeth.
"Hi Aidy, I'm Caroline Winston and this is my friend Stephanie Tykson. I'm really sorry, here let me help you with that." I reply bending to pick up the books.
"Nah, it's okay. You guys aren't familiar. Newbies?", he asks.
"Yeah, you?" questions Steph.
"Been here all along. Nice seeing you guys.", he answers.
"Wait up, you have History with Mr.Turner?", probes Steph and Aiden nods, "Cal here has the same class, so you guys head along, its my free period and I'm not wasting my time walking a 17 year old to class.", she resumes wickedly. I glare at her and she just smiles innocently and then mouths, -Second option, just in case your crush doesn't work out-
"Sure, I mean if it wouldn't be any trouble, yeah why not." I utter, not wanting to seem rude.
"Fine by me." responds Aiden, grinning.
As I walk along with him, I look over my shoulder at Steph, glaring daggers at her and flash her the bird. She just winks at me and walks to the library, while I head over to the ever dreadful History with Aiden by my side.
