He was strange. I couldn't really put my finger on it, but something about him seemed odd.
From his appearance before me and Blake ambushed him he looked like a confident jerk who's head is stuck up his own ass. But after seeing the panic in his eyes at our sudden appearance that assumption didn't seem to fit him.He was a nervous fumbling mess. It was funny. It was cute. "Nice to meet you P-Parker. My names Imani nice to put a name to the face that's been watching me all week," I grinned. His face heated up again and his tan cheeks burned brighter than a tomato. He's much taller than me, but that's not too surprising. Most people are taller than my 5'4 height but that doesn't mean I can't stand up for myself. Averting my gaze from his steely grey one I glance over at Blake who's still ripping into his friend.
"So P-Parker care to tell me what that goblins name is?" He snorted at what I called his friend "His name is Wes. And don't let him hear you call him a goblin. He'll throw a temper tantrum."
"Look here you little mongrel take back what you said right now before I rip your tongue out of your body!" Blake screamed face matching her hair. Both of them proceeded to glare at each other before huffing and turning to face me and Parker. "IMANI""PARKER" they both shouted before glaring at each other. Before I could even speak, one look at her appearance made me scowl. Her hair once again was wild flying everywhere and her ponytail holder was tangled at the end. "Blake" I groaned "It took me 30 minutes to fix your nest." Dragging my hand down my face I glanced over at Parker.
Once again he looked embarrassed. Neck a light shade of pink and a nervous smile adorning his face.Cute.
"Look it was cool meeting one half of you guys," I remarked sending a glare towards Wes "But as you can see I have to redo her hair meaning I'm going to be late to class," a glare directed at Blake. She shifted under my glare and mumbled out an apology causing Wes to snort. The smirk was knocked off his face literally once Parker smacked the back of his head. He directed a glare at Wes which caused a sigh of defeat to escape his mouth.
"I'm sorry.... what's your name?" I turned towards her pouting figure and gestured for her to respond. Finally she grumbled out a Blake for him to hear. Before he could open his mouth to speak again I grabbed Blake's arm and dragged her to the nearest bathroom. Ignoring her shouts of protest I looked over my shoulder towards Wes and Parker again. "See ya Goblin and P-Parker," laughing when I heard shouts of protest and anger from Wes and a groan from Parker.

Breathing deeply I burst through the doors of my first period. The bell dinged not to long after I ran in thanking God that I managed not to be late to class. Sending an apologetic smile over to my teacher I made my way to my seat.
Sighing I ran a hand down my face and pulled my books out of my bag. Panic surged through me when I realizedI forgot my books.
"Shit" I mumbled "Shit shit shit," frantically I searched through my bag hoping my books would magically appear in front of me. Sighing in defeat I slumped against my seat hoping we wouldn't need out textbooks today.
"Class pull out your textbooks and turn to page 264." Just my luck I guess.
As I prepared to get lectures for being unprepared.... again, a body plopped down in the chair next to me. Glancing over I saw it was Eli and the first thing I noticed was the textbook he placed on the table.
Sucking up my pride a turned towards him offering my best puppy face I could muster up. He took one look at me and let out a small chuckle. "When are you going to be prepared for class Ani?" Ruffling my hair he moved the textbook to the middle of the table.
Scowling at him I moved to fix my already wild hair and punched him in the arm. Wincing he rubbed his arm as another chuckle fell out of his mouth "Is that any way to treat your savior. Don't you have any manners Ani?"
Grinning I hugged him to my side thanking him for saving me once again. He chuckled again kissing the top of my head causing warmth to spread throughout my body. Placing my head on his broad shoulders we began reading what was in the history book.
Glancing up at his strong Carmel jaw I smiled to myself content with the position I was in. "Take a picture. It might help you later on," he chuckled out with a wink.Flustered I removed myself from his shoulder and faced forward. He let out a deep laugh and grabbed my hand intertwining our fingers "I was joking babe you know you can stare all you want," he remarked with another chuckle. Pinching his shoulder I let out a laugh "Shut up loser," and proceeded to listen to the current lesson.
