*| Stay Away From Him |*

Artivia

"Mommy do I have to go to this new school what if they don't like me", I tell my mom pouting. We moved from Maryland all the way to Virginia. I'm Asian mixed with Mexican. My mom and dad met when one of their family members died from an ambush attack. Years later they married and had me.

"Don't worry they will like you just be yourself", she said.

"Remember what happened last time"

"This is a new school and new people"

"You said that last time and the time before and the one before that", I said. She sighed.

"I know baby but maybe this school is different", she said. I sighed and nodded. We pulled up to Virginia High School. There were kids just chilling in front of the school.

"Alright baby have a good day at school", my mom said as I got out the car. I waved as she drove off. I went inside and was immediately hit by someone.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry", a girl with bright green eyes said helping me up. I dusted myself off and she handed me my bag.

"You must be the girl Artivia everyone is talking about"

"What how"

"Word gets around very fast I'm Symphony", she said.

"Well you already know my name", I said.

"Oh I'm lemme show you to your locker", she said. She grabbed my hand and led me to a locker with a keypad on it. I punched in my id number and it opened.

"Ok so I have your first three classes and then the rest of them are upstairs ok", she said and I nodded. I grabbed my books and we walked to class. Then the hallway got quiet.

"Why is it so quiet", I asked. This most gorgeous guy in all black came walking down the hallway. He looked at me and he had the most captivating yellow eyes. He smirked and kept walking. Everyone was looking at me and started whispering.

"What's going on", I asked. She sighed.

"That was Adonis Brant he is this weird dude everyone knows", she said. Then another girl came and sat by us.

"Nobody has ever heard him talk before, but what ever you do stay away from him"

"Why"

"People say he's dangerous and one time a kid went missing when his girl friend broke up with him for the kid", the girl said.

"I'm Artivia", I tell her.

"I'm Jinx", she said.

"So where you from", she asked.

"I'm from Maryland well other states since my dad is in the Army so we would move from state to state", I said. The teacher walked in and class began.

Through out the day I was being stared at but at least I made some friends. Something I have never done before. I was walking upstairs alone to my next class which is art. I made it to my class right when the bell ranged. Everyone was looking at me, but at the back corner I felt more intense eyes stare me down.

"Umm you must be Artivia Hulten right", the teacher asked and I nodded.

"Well I'm Mr. Fisher but you could call me Danny if you like", he said and I nodded.

"You can take a seat next to Adonis in the back", he said. I clutched onto my bag as I walked closer to my seat. I sat down and I could feel him staring me down.

"Ok class since we have a new student let's just paint whatever we feel like and to make it even better let's make this competition whoever has the best painting will be put on the wall of fame", Mr. Fisher said. Everyone cheered.

I grabbed pencils markers paint and a can of spray paint. I put my earphones in and began. I reached for the green paint but stopped when I saw another hand. I looked up and saw Adonis staring at me. He grabbed the paint and gave it to me. I slightly smiled at him. Mr. Fisher came and saw our paintings.

"Looks like we got some serious competition back here", he said. I had my music low so I was able to hear. I was finally done I just needed to outline some parts. I grabbed the yellow can and sprayed it.

"Very nice I like that I think we have a new winner here people", he said out loud. He grabbed my painting and held it up for everyone to see. People cheered and clapped.

"Yeah this is definitely going up there", he said. The bell ranged and everyone left. I grabbed my bag and walked to my next class which was the class all the way down the hall. It looks kinda empty back here. I opened the door to find the room empty but a Grand Piano in there.

"Hmm I guess I'll stay here for now", I said to myself. I sat on the seat and running my hands along the keys. I positioned my hands and started playing.

I have been writing this song for awhile now and I had nowhere to play it. Now is my chance. We had a piano coming in but it hasn't arrived yet.

"You sing good", I screamed when I heard the voice. I looked up and saw Adonis.

"W'w'what a'are you d'doing here", I stuttered. He chuckled.

"I have this class to you know", of course he does. How great. Note the sarcasm.

"So where's the teacher", he chuckled again.

"I am the teacher", what the fudge. He sat next to me.

"I've never formally introduced myself", my name is Hov H to the O V. That part ran through my mind when he said that.

"I'm Adonis Brant and you are"

"You should already know since everyone is talking about me", where did that boost of confidence come from.

"Well as you can see I'm an out cast not everyone is comfortable with me being here"

"So why stay"

"I have my reasons why did you move here"

"I have my reasons", he smirked.

"So we playing that game", what game I didn't know we're playing a game.

"Yeah I guess"

"No but for real why did you move here"

"Well when your a military baby you move from base to base every few years so we ended up here", I said. He nodded. The bell ranged and I grabbed my stuff.

"See you later Artivia", he said as I walked out.

/\/\/\

I arrived home and my dads car wasn't here. Like usual. I walked inside and my mom was watching tv.

"Hey how was school honey"

"It was good...sorta kinda but I made two friends so that's a good start I guess", I tell her.

"Well I'm glad I made some snacks if your hungry", she said. I went to my graffitied room done by myself and saw my dogs Shasta and Oreo on the bed. Shasta is a Tibetan Mastiff and Oreo is an English Bull Dog. Oreo she is a little small dog and then you have Shasta who is a fucking beast. Shasta is more than half my height.

"You guys stayed in here all day", I ask them and they barked. I smiled.
