The Debacle Named AvaRafe

5.My New Future Partner In Crime!

With the "Alone by Marshmello" song as my alarm, I woke up with a new yearn for revenge planned in my head. Yep, thats my alarm. You see, I'm a big Logan Paul fan, and I love his dab! So when he used this song as the background for his dab video, I fell in love with it. Actually Rachael introduced this legend to me.

If you're curious who this Rachael might be, then I can give you a backstory:

I met Rachael when I'd been to Hawaii to attend my cousin's wedding. She was a local there and she was like, the only one who was curious enough to get to know about me. She was quite outgoing and I loved that about her. She wasn't judging me with whatever heck, that I was doing. All in all, I had my best time spent with her. I only wish if she was here right now with me. This whole mess would've been easier to clean up.

So back to the present, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. Let's just hope I don't get caught up or anything. Finger's crossed though.

So rejuvenating myself with a hot relaxing shower, I get dressed into a plaid flannel shirt and cargo pants. Yeah, judge me! Who cares? I'm a savage, baby!

I grab my slingback off of my bed and head down the stairs. The first thing I notice is the aroma of pancakes wafting through my nostrils. Woah, that means Mum's home and she sure is in a good mood, since she's making PANCAKES. It's like her comfort food. When she's really happy, she makes those! So I go straight to the kitchen and hug her from behind.

"Hey mum, when did you land?"

"Hey sweety, I just came this morning. Missed you baby" she says turning around and embracing me in a big Bear hug. This is the coolest thing about this household. No matter, to what extent we live apart, the love between us never dies down. Atleast I'm loved enough at home. That kinda makes it up for the hate I garner outside. But I'm cool with it. Family comes first right?

After having a big Mum-Daughter bonding session, involving her feeding me those yummy blueberry pancakes drowned with maple syrup, I'm all full and make my way to the school. Well, here goes nothing.

As I enter the gates, I try my best to be invisible to all, not that they pay me any attention anyway, but with all that happened yesterday, I guess they might try those things again. So I keep my guard raised high up. I reach my locker and dump my slingback in it and carry only the books needed for my classes. I don't want anyone ruining my favourite bag!

So far, so good. I enter the maths class, and make myself comfortable in my seat. I always choose the seat by the window. That way, if I grow bored with the teacher's ranting, I can entertain myself with what's going on outside. The seat next to me mostly remains vacant, but sometimes if there's some new kid in class, he/she opts for it since it's not attention garnering seat. No one looks this way, like Ever. And I love it that way.

I slowly turn my phone on and instantly go to Wattpad app. Yep, that has to do, seeing as I can issue no more books from the library. Plus, I love the stories published there. Rachael really was a bit irritated by my obsession with this app back in Hawaii, because it was like, as if I breathed because of it. I slept reading on Wattpad and the first thing I did after getting up was check for any new updates! She called it a "Futuristic Black Magic Spell Book" because I used the black background with white font to get into the mystery feel of it.

As I'm busy reading this murder mystery where the protagonist is about to reach the dead end of the dark tunnel, which is really a tense moment for me, a book bag is dropped on my desk with a thud and I immediately give out a shrill cry that sounded scary even to me. My heartbeat goes on an overdrive and I clear my throat, trying to calm myself. When I look up as to who scared the crap outta me, I'm met with a genuinely scared face who's on the verge of making a break into a jog, probably miles away from me. I don't blame him though. I straighten up and try asking him to cool down.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I was reading something spooky and you just scared me. So sorry, I'm Ava by the way. Uhm... N you are...?"

I stop my rambling and try to get him to speak. I don't miss the bobbing of his Adam's apple as he tries to ease up his crease lines off his face. He seems timid, like he's scared of something. And now, when I actually see him, he doesn't seem familiar. Maybe he's new here, or maybe I never noticed him around here. But he's kinda cute, for not to be noticed. He's got that sweet-boy-next-door kind of face, with brown eyes and matching deadlocks on his mane. But he is yet to speak a single word. When I start thinking that maybe he's mute or something, he speaks -

" Adrian. It's Adrian.... Yeah, I got scared too. And sorry for scaring you. I couldn't find any other empty seats, so thought I can occupy this.... Uh ... I can sit here right..? Or is it occupied?"

He's really cute right now. He's quite terrified of someone as harmless as me! I've never been in a situation as bizarre as this one. So before I can stop myself, I burst out laughing. This seems to scare him even more, since he backs away from the seat. I laugh hard at that.

Finally after calming down my laughter, I move a bit towards him, (to which he backs away further) and tell -

"Adrian, chill. I'm not going to eat you up. And yeah this is a free seat. You can sit here. Don't mind me, this is kinda strange for me. It's not everyday that I get people scared of me as if I'm their biggest bully."

This seems to have the desired effect in him. And he relaxes considerably. And I get to see his dazzling pearly whites as he smiles genuinely at me.

" Gal, you are really something else altogether. I was wondering if you really are crazy or something. But it's cool, nice to meet you." He says and brings his knuckles towards me.

For a second, I think he's going to punch me in the face or something, But then I realise, he just wants to fist bump with me. So I go ahead and do it anyway.

Then suddenly I get this idea that I can convince him to be on my side on my way to destroy Rafe Karrington. It's better to have someone's back to fall on if things go awry. Atleast I would have someone who will look out for me. But then it seems selfish to simply involve him in a mess that he doesn't belong to. So I just push that thought to the back of my head.

"It's nice to meet you too Adrian. Are you new? I haven't seen you around here. Not that I'm so social that I know everyone. But you are the first one to actually bother speaking to me in school. So... Yeah..."

He seems taken aback by my little confession. He stares at me and a look of thoughtfulness crosses his eyes.

" I don't believe you. How can a beautiful girl like you be so lonely in senior year of high school? But if that's really the truth, then I think something is really wrong with them. But not anymore. Know that, you have me now. Even I'm all alone here. So maybe, you know.. Can we be ... like... Friends...???

I really feel like I'm dreaming right now. A person is asking to be my friend. And a guy at that! I do a mental dance. Then I just beam at him and pull my hand out for a hand shake. He eagerly shakes hand with me and we turn to the front.

That's when I notice, the class has been eerily quiet and there are 40-50 pairs of eyes staring right at us. But the most intense glare is coming right from the middle of the classroom from a green eyed monster!

Uh-oh, what did I do now?
