The Aces • On Hold

prologue

I hate school. Tests upon tests every week. And teachers giving out failing grades as if it were nothing and wasn't leaving a dent on our souls. Okay that was deep.

Anyways....summer is coming to an end and on top of that my parents are sending me to a school across the country. So here I am on my flight towards my living hell for the next ten months. And on top of that there is a crying baby on the plane.

Kill me now.

I groan out loud and hit my head with the magazine in my hand. Someone chuckles in the seat next to me and I lift my head up, curious. I meet the brown eyes of who I think is Indian with glasses I think he stole from Harry Potter. I let out a dreamy sigh at the sight next to me and cover my mouth. My cheeks turn hot, embarrassed when he instantly smirks at my stupidity letting me know he heard me.

"I know right." He says and runs his hand through his hair. My cheeks turn hotter when he grins at me and sends a wink my way.

He then digs in his pocket to take out a piece of gum and puts the bubblegum in his mouth. He turns to me and raises his eyebrows, stretching his hand out to me with a piece of silver paper between his index and middle finger.

"No thank you, I already have some." I say and take my pack of gum off the tray in front of me and show him it.

"Strawberry huh?" He says as he puts the piece of gum in his mouth. I smile at him not knowing what to say and place my strawberry bubblegum back on the tray.

He turns back around and continues to watch the movie he left off on and I go back to reading my magazine.

"Have a great stay!" A worker at the airport says as I pull my luggage out the doors. I smile at him and continue walking out. I get hit with warm air when reaching the other side of the double doors.

"Analia!" Someone yells and I look up from the phone in my hands. And I see my model sister waiting in all her glory, waving her hands at me. I smile and walk towards her with a huge grin on my face not caring how ridiculous I looked.

My carry on suddenly drops and out comes out everything inside it and out the zipper I forgot to close on the plane. I groan for the millionth time today and bend down to pick everything up. I hear someone scoff not too far from me but was too busy to look at the culprit and too tired to even care.

I stand back up to already see my sister surrounded by cameras. She looks at me and points towards the exit letting me know she'll be there once she clears her way towards me. I sigh and walk around the paps and towards her car parked right outside.

As soon as I turn around, I meet flashes upon flashes as my sister, Noel walks closer to me. The paps soon leave when they see another famous person walking out the airport and scurry over. I look at the people running, wondering what all the fuss is about. They were running towards a guy about my age with black aviators on and the guy who sat next to me on my flight. It was as if they were models by the way they passed through all the cameras without a single hair on their head messed up and the fact girls were gushing over them right next to me.

"Oh my god, they're coming our direction!" the girl in the blush pink dress said and immediately padded her hair down even though it was inhumanly perfect on this windy day.

I turn my head to immediately meet someone's wide shoulders and furrow my eyebrows. I look up to get a better look at the person blocking my view but a voice stopped me, "Analia, get in the car!"

I clutch onto the handle of my suitcase and look at my sister in her luxurious car, "You didn't have to come all the way here, I could've just hailed a cab or order an uber."

"Why would I let you do that when I could just pick you up myself." she said with a wink.

I roll my eyes at her and look back to notice the man with wide shoulders was gone. I turn back to her and fake smile. Flashes block my line of vision and turn my head to glare at the photographers.

"Analia, quick!" I look back at my sister who wore a worried look as her car started being surrounded by cameras. I push people away and quickly got in after opening the and throw my suitcase in the back .

Noel immediately speeds away from the cameras and towards the highway once I got in the passenger seat and closed my door. I turn around in my seat to look back at the up roaring commotion behind us and laugh amusingly as the flashes become more frequent and some paps even try to chase us.

I turn to my sister who smiles while looking at the mirror to look at the commotion behind us too. She puts on her sunglasses as we switch lanes and heads onto the highway.

Noel turns the music up and the song of the summer starts playing. I look out the window and smile to myself. Maybe this year won't be so bad.

Oh wrong was I.
