Forgotten Mentionables

I burst through the classroom door just in time.

"Aeriodianne Bouhadana?"

"Here" I said as I ducked to the back of the classroom.

"Glad to see you decided to roll out of bed princess" Zahvii grinned smugly.

I rolled my eyes and dropped down next to Raja.

"Stuff it dipstick. God knows who's bed you rolled out of this morning." I scoffed.

Raja burst into hysterical laughter. His eyes widened and he clutched his heart, feigning hurt.

"My goodness, how you accuse me of such horrifying acts," he gasped.

This time I was dying with laughter.

Raja and Zahvii are basically the god and goddess of the school. They are Egyptian twins and my best friends. They know just about everything about me except my past. They know how I feel about touching, but they don't question why. I think that they would be less slutty if they knew. I know calling them slutty is wrong, but when you have sex with ridiculous numbers of people in one day for fun AND keep score, it is hard not to call you another name. They accept it when I say it out loud, but they know what I really mean. Zahvii and Raja are basically movie star gorgeous. Zahvii is 6' 2" with lean caramel muscles and dark hazel eyes that could kill. His square jaw is perfect for his thick brows, sharp node and stellar smile. Raja on the other hand is a petite 5' 3" ½, muscular curves, with the save deep, intense dark hazel, cat-like eyes. Her caramel skin and long wavy hair are what she likes best. They basically could have anybody, that is why every week the hoes, jocks, and in betweens are wrangled up based on their appearance and performance. I know it seems strange, but as scorekeeper, I must say their scores are pretty impressive.

When she was able to breath again Raja said, "So Ri, what are you doing later because James and I are planning on going to the movies."

" And Rizzo and I were planning on crashing it." Zahvii smiled.

I only shook my head and smirked. I have to remember to add James and Rizzo. Also to give them extra points for quick replacement.

" A movie, on Thursday." I pretend to think about it for a minute. "Nah. Plus I don't plan on being the most amazing third wheel ever." I joked.

"Technically yo would be a fifth wheel which makes you ten time more important" Raja corrected

I just shook my head at them. I seriously didn't feel like being social today. After this morning encounter I really didn't have it in me.

Butterflies, no screw those, frogs were having fits in my stomach at the thought of his mischievous green eyes. I must have zoned out because Zahvii was snapping his fingers in my face.

" Where did you go?" he stared at me amused.

*BBRRRRIIIIIINNNNGGGG*

Talk about saved by the bell. Trying to avoid answering the question I got up and lost myself in the crowd. Once out of the classroom I migrated to my locker. Unfortunately, Raja managed to beat me there. She looked at me deeply as I walked towards her.

"Seriously though what's up. You seem to be off." Raja inquired.

I really didn't feel like explaining how Luke has moved in and has managed to rid me of my bed and dignity all in one day. I opened my mouth to just tell her I'm fine when a swarm of girls gathered at the doors at the end of the hallway. I glanced confused at Raja who just shrugged. Curious, I continued to stare at the hoard of girls to get a hint at what was happening.

"New kid" I heard Zahvii's voice whisper in  my ear.

Startled, I jumped and turned to glare at him.

"You know I hate when you do that," I scolded.

Smiling, He gently wrapped an arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer  to his side. My breathing stopped.

"You know you love me!" he joked.

I let out a weak smile trying to get my breathing at a regular speed.

It's only Zahvii. HE does stuff like this all the time. HE is safe.

I counted to 10 and let out a deep breath. I felt my shoulders relax. I'm just glad I wore a sweater because I would have had a full on panic attack if he touched my skin.

I turned away from the madness to look up at his face at his face. He raised his eyebrows at me in acknowledgement.

"What new kid?" Raja and I questioned at the same time.

As if to answer our question, the doors at the end of the hallway opened. A short, dark-skinned woman, with honey brown eyes and a short punk-pixie-like black hair.

"Maa?"
