Just My Sometimes Stupid Luck

Chapter 5 : Shocker

Chapter 5 : Shocker

Aireal’s P.O.V.

After Aphrodite said that Ricky might want revenge, I was in panic mode the rest of the night. I really hope I don’t have classes with him.

I fell asleep, but was tortured by those horrible nightmares that haunt me every night. I know it’s my fault, but does my self-conscience really have to do this to me? Why make be grieve both day and night? I sighed, I guess I’ll just have to get used to it.

“What are you sighing about? You still haven’t even been to homeroom.” Natie asks playfully as we slowly make our way to the mess hall for breakfast.

“Nothing, I was just thinking about what will happen if I have a class with Ricky.” I lie easily. I’m such a great actress. I’ve been lying since I was 7. Ha. But at the time, it was mostly with my over-active imagination. Now, it’s to cover up my real thoughts, my real feelings.

“I’m sure it will be okay.” She pats my arm reassuringly.

I sigh again. “I hope so.” I really doubt it will be okay, that annoying voice in my head states pessimistically. Stupid sub-conscience.

We walk through the doors of the mess hall and the noise is like a slap to the face. There’s seniors screaming at each other from the other side of the room, freshman all huddled in a corner doing god knows what, sophomores flicking food at one another off their spoons, and juniors jumping up and down on the tables. I thought this school would be a lot stricter. You can instantly tell who the popular kids are, the jocks, the losers, the band nerds, the drama freaks, and the emo and scene kids. This is just like every other high school. Social Levels and Popularity Classes.

“Hey there good lookin’.” A boy says while walking up to me. He looks like a junior. Those are always the worst.

“Hey.” I sigh. I just want to eat.

“Wanna come sit with me?” He says with a wink.

“I have a feeling that we wouldn’t only be sitting if I said yes.” I state coolly. I know I’m right.

“Maybe.” He bites his lip a little, which I have to admit is sexy. But I’m not interested. He’s not my type.

“I’m gonna have to turn down your offer. I’m going to eat with my roomies.” And with that, I walk away towards the food, Natie and Aphrodite on my trail, leaving the junior boy standing with his eyes following.

After deciding on a bagel with strawberry cream cheese or a cinnamon roll (I chose the bagel), We slowly made our way to an empty table booth on the far side of the room in the left corner.

“Hey Babe!” My head snaps up to see Spencer coming our way. He slides into the booth next to Natie and me.

“Hey Baby,” Natie says, pecking him softly on the lips. “Did you make it to your dorm in time the other night?” I can hear the worry in her voice when she asks the question. What’s up with that? All that’d happen from my understanding is maybe a detention.

“Yeah, it’s all good.” He smiled at her, taking a bite out of his cinnamon roll.

“Hey guys!” Another strange boy yells, coming up to our table and sitting down and wrapping an arm around Aphrodite’s waist. He makes eye contact with me and asks, “Who is this enchanting young lady?”

I blush and hold out my hand. “I’m Aireal, but you can call me Air.” I glance over at Aphrodite, who’s staring at me like she wants to stab my hand with her fork.

He shakes my hand and smiles, “I’m Alex. Very nice to meet you.”

I just nod and pick at my bagel. Alex is really hot. He has bright green eyes, which are behind a pair of nerdy looking glasses, but they look really hot on him. His messy black fringed hair falls in his face and brushes his cheeks. He has on a black V-neck sweater that shows some of his tattoo, which looks like a name of some sort. I can’t see his pants, but I’m sure he looks great in those too.

“Hey Alex, will you walk me to class please?” Aphrodite asks sweetly. I can tell she is still mad about Alex and I talking. What’s her problem? It’s not like I did anything wrong.

“Sure, Love. See ya guys.” Alex says while getting up from the table. I can see him steal a glance at me, then quickly head to the doors with Aphrodite.

“Bye!” We all call quickly.

“Ohhh Aireal. You’ve just got on Aphrodite’s not-so-nice side.” Natie says warily.

“What’d I even DO?!” I question. “What’s her problem? All Alex and I did was shake hands!”

“Uhh, she has a jealous side.” Spencer says hesitantly, fumbling with his cinnamon roll.

“But I didn’t do –“

“Hey Babe,” Ricky says, cutting me off. There he goes with the ‘Babe’ thing again.

“Don’t call me babe. What do you want?” I say coldly. I’m already starting to get a headache.

“I was just wondering who your homeroom teacher is. I have Mrs. Smith and…” I stopped listening after he said he has Mrs. Smith. DAMN IT! Why me?!

“So, do you want to head to class or would you rather be late?” Ricky asks, getting a little irritated.

“Why would I want to go anywhere with you?” Now I’m getting irritated.

He holds up his hands defensively. “I’m just trying to be nice to you. Please just walk with me.” He pleads, giving me his puppy dog face. I hate when he does this because no matter how much he pisses me off, I still love him and he knows it.

I sigh out of my nose. “Fine. But you aren’t allowed to talk to me.” I get up, sending Natie and Spencer a ‘See ya later’ and stomping off outside.

“Do you even know where the class room is?” Ricky asks, a smirk on his face and a slightly amused look in his eyes.

“I said don’t talk to me.” But then I realize that I really don’t know where I’m going. . I guess this means I have to talk to him.

“Too bad, Babe. It’s this way.” He nods his head in the direction of our homeroom.

“Don’t call me –“ I’m cut off when he grabs my hand and pulls me toward him. “What are you –“ He cuts me off by putting his lips on mine. I just stand there, frozen in place, too shocked to do anything but stare into his piercing bright blue eyes, that are looking right back into my aqua marine-gray eyes, as he kisses me hard. They’re like liquid, so beautiful and clear.

He finally pulls away and I can see his eyes glaze over. “I love you Aireal.” He stares right into my eyes, searching  for my reaction, searching for my answer.

Before he can do anything else, I run. I’m running as fast as my legs will carry me. I don’t know where I’m going, but I just can’t take this.

“Aireal! WAIT!” I hear Ricky yell. It only makes me run faster.
