That's right baby IM BACK AND UPDATING AGAIN!
Ariana, or as most call her, Ari. The first person to show welcome and kindness to Miguel. It's obvious from then on that some chemistry between them is bound to happen but there's feelings on both sides...
Everyday goes by and I keep getting closer to Ari, she is my closest friend since I moved. Sure Demetri and Eli are great but I haven't really hung out with them enough to bond.
Ari being my neighbor has made our friendship even stronger, we will sometimes walk to school in the mornings together and walk back. Occasionally I will ride my bike and she might go her separate ways, and that is today. I woke up late. My alarm didn't go off and since I am off schedule I am not walking to school with Ari, I sigh but that's fine, I will see her at school anyway.
After locking up my bike I grab my back pack and tread into school. I hear a familiar giggle ring through my ears and snap my head around to find the source. On my left I see Ari talking to a group of people laughing and smiling. Her smile could make me melt into pieces and her laugh makes me weak at the knees. She looks in my direction before showing an even bigger smile if that was possible. I can hear here say her goodbyes to her friends, something along the lines of catch you later, I gotta go. She jogs over to me and my heart rate increases, I had realized recently that I have really fallen for her. The problem is there is someone else.
Sam.... she seems nice and is pretty. I have a small crush but Ari blows her away. Between her looks and smile I have to choose Ari. I am afraid if I ask out Ari it will ruin our friendship, but with Sam we have no friendship to ruin. She is popular and sits with the jerks so I haven't had one conversation with her. honestly do I really like her.
Snapped out of my thoughts ari catches up,
" hey Diaz! Late this morning?"
I nod my head before letting out a long sigh I look at her before she notices. Cataloging her outfit in my brain. She wore a black skirt that stoped a little above the knee but was high wasted, along with a Maroon over sized sweater with two white stripes across the middle and white converse that stopped at her ankle.

Something along the lines of this, but with a silver necklace and her white converse.
I look away so she doesn't see me staring. Building up courage I start conversation while we walk to my locker.
" want to walk with me to karate?" I can see her eyes light up but I didn't really know why.
" of course! If I am honest, I used to train in the martial arts, but I stoped after a few years. It's always been a passion but with my dad always working and not home I just seemed to stop" even with the end being a little sad she still kept a smile on her face. It was contagious the way she smiled, even on my bad days her smile would always cheer me up.
" that's great! Then I will get to introduce you to sensei." She smiles and looks at me seemingly given an extra pep in her step.
" that sounds fun, what's he like?"
" well um, he's stubborn, has a temper, but always puts me first. Like a father figure." I smile at the memories flooding through my head."
" he sounds like a good man" ———————————————————————
Ari's POV-
After we reached Miguel's locker I couldn't help but feel extra happy that I am going to karate with him after school, not to be weird but I think guys who do karate can be really hot. Especially Miguel. Wait, what am I talking about, Miguel is hot, really hot. Maybe I like him even more than a friend. Yep I do.
I did feel good to tell him about karate, no one really knows that side of me or much about me anyway. I know a lot about other people due to them being my friend but I always put conversation about me off. When ever I am with Miguel he always asks about me, about my life.
Days went by and we continue to get closer, one of my closest friends, maybe more. He is good looking, kind, and fun to be around. Good looking is a little bit of an understatement. I really like him, after my ex boyfriend, dating was a serious no. Any guys I thought were hot I shut down. Things like finding a guy attractive were not my priority but with Miguel, I can't help but marvel at his looks. He isn't like the quote on quote hot guys, he has more personality and is different. Everyone else that the school has deemed hot look the same, if you don't know them you couldn't tell them apart. They dress the same, act the same, even have the same hair cut but Miguel doesn't listen to what the hot standard is. He is a change, and change can be good. We headed to class and the day was a little extra long, time always goes slow when your waiting for something, and in my case it was karate..... with Miguel.
