Ari (Completed)

Treasure Chest of Memories

I slowly woke up to a warm cozy feeling. Carlos looked up at me, from his place on my stomach. He gave me a lazy smile and I giggled at him. "Finals start in like 15 minutes." He told me. I gasped. "I gotta go! I'll see you at lunch!" I said and ran out the door. I looked side to side and nobody was in the hallway. So I ran. I looked down and I realized I hadn't change since I got out of the ocean yesterday. Whelp. I get caught, I'm dead.

Was I seriously wearing this all day yesterday? And no teacher said a thing? Well it was Sunday, So I guess they were all home or something. I got to my room without being spotted and started getting ready as fast as I could. I threw on a slip dress, and sprayed perfume. I grabbed some ankle boot heels, a jacket, and a clutch, then I was out the door.

Today I had chemistry exams and Magic Chem. Chemistry was this morning, then after lunch was magic Chem. Pure torture. But hey! Worse comes to worst I fail them, my grades can take a hit, I'm totally ok with that. I walked to chemistry, which Evie and I would be working on. Here goes two hours of my life.

After a dreaded two hours, it was lunch time, and I was starving. I went to the cafeteria and got my food before heading outside to sit at our usual table. Mal and Evie sat across from me, Jay sat next to me as I was on the end. Doug and Ben sat next to Mal and Evie, and then, she sat next to Jay, and Carlos on her other side. "Finals was so annoying." Rose complained to Carlos. "I know hunny." He soothed her, glancing over at me. Rose followed his gaze. "Oh! Ariana! I didn't see you there! Welcome back! How was Atlantis?" She asked and couldn't sound a bit more fake even if she tried. Bitch. "Atlantis is pretty great, I mean considering I'm kinda queen of the ocean now. And uh? What are you?" I asked with fake curiosity. She looked at me in disbelief. Oh yea, I am being so salty right now and I don't even care. She let out a huff of pure anger and stormed over to her little group of divas. I stood up and walked over to Carlos and sat in his lap. I know had her full attention as Rose stared at me, eyes filled with anger. I bit my lip and smiled at her. I rolled my hands through his hair, and gave him a small kiss on his cheek. I waved at her, undoubtedly a large smirk on my face.

She let out a screech of frustration and ran away with her little groupee following her. Carlos looked at her running figure. And his jaw dropped. "Did that just happen?" He asked. I laughed. "She's gonna kill me." He mumbled. "I'd never let her." I said getting out of his lap and taking my seat next to him. I smiled and looked at the rest of our table. Mal gave me a high five. Evie was trying to contain her laughter. "She is so gonna kill you." Doug said. Evie scolded him with her eyes and smacked his arm. "She can sure as hell try." I smiled. That girl can try all she wants. But she isn't getting what's mine.

We all decided that after finals, we would go back to Carlos and Jay's dorm and "dance the night away" as Evie called it.

I walked to Magic Chem. Mr. West was proctoring our exam. He's the regular Chemistry teacher. Rose was in this class, and of course, life being its usual self, we had to sit next to each other. When the test started I answered questions and when I got to being done, Rose sneezed towards me, and all I saw was a flash of gray. "Bless you." Prince Aziz said. And all memory just left me. I couldn't remember a thing we had learned. I was lost. It was like someone had taken the questions and replaced them with those things you learned in kindergarten, that you should know but you don't remember at all.

I looked over at Rose, with my jaw dropped. What did she do? What... what happened? Rose just smirked at her paper. "Ariana!" Mr. West snapped. I looked up. "Give me your test, you will take the grade you have now, you don't ever look at another student's paper!" He growled.

My mouth dropped. Rose was snickering beside me. I stood up and gave him my exam and pencil. I grabbed my stuff and walked to the door. I placed my hand on the handle, but paused and looked back at Mr. West. "Out!" He said, sternly. I looked back at Rose and she was grinning at me. A single tear feel from my eye and I quickly left the classroom.

I went to stand outside of the exam room Evie was in. I mean... I think... I sat down on the floor and tried to think, but it was just like everything I had learned had been locked away for me to never remember. So I just sat there for another hour, staring at the wall across from me. The bell rang and the door opened. Students walked past me and looked down at me with curiosity.

Evie walked out and she looked down to see me. "Ariana?" She said confused. I looked up at her and she gasped. "Your eyes, oh Ari, your eyes." She panicked. "Mal, she'll know what to do." She mumbled and grabbed my hand.

She dragged me to another classroom and we waited there. Evie was tapping her foot with a slightly scared look on her face.

The door opened up and out walked a few students. Then Mal and Doug walked out talking about something and then they caught sight of us and quickly became confused.

"Look at her eyes." Evie pointed to me. Mal took one look and more confusion crossed her face. Mal started looking at my outfit and she pressed her hand to my right shoulder of my jacket. "Gray fairy dust?" She breathed. "Take her to the boys room. Doug, go get Prince Aziz. He's in Magic Chem right? Yea." She said then walked off.

Evie started pulling me in the opposite direction. "Is everything ok?" I asked, confused. She stopped and looked back at me. "I don't know yet Ari." She said with a sad look in her eyes. We got to the boys room and she had me sit on Carlos' bed. For the next few minutes she paced the floor and looked at me ever so often.

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked. She froze and looked at me. "Oh Ari! Of course not!" She soothed. I looked down. "Then why can't I remember anything?" I asked. She took in a sharp breath.

Mal walked in. "I know what's wrong!" She said quickly walking over to me. Doug followed with Aziz behind him. "I was called for?" Aziz questioned. Mal turned to him. "You were in Magic Chem exam with Ari, right?" She asked him. He nodded. "Yea, why?" He said. "Can you tell us what happened?" Evie asked. "Not much, the first hour was pretty silent, Then Ari got yelled at by Deley for looking at Rose's paper, which I don't believe for a second that it actually happened. But then after Ari left it was silent, but Rose was laughing as Ari was forced to leave." He explained. "Did anything happen before that?" Evie asked.

"Not really, I mean Rose sneezed, but," he chuckled. "Who doesn't?" He asked. Mal looked back at me then down at her hand. "Where was rose siting in relation to Ari?" Mal asked. "Uh... Ari's right side." He said confidently. "Thank you so much." Mal smiled.  Aziz left the room. "What did Rose do to her?" Evie said looking at me. "It's called treasure chest of memories." Mal explained.
