Ariana's POV
"Ariana Beastin." I said, glaring at Luke.

"Luke Watson. Pleasure." He said, smirking.

i gave Luke a sarcastic smile before crossing my arms and rolling my eyes.
I inspected my phone screen.

"$80." I said.

"Hm?"Luke asked. He had taken a toothpick and was chewing it.

"Give me $80." I stuck out my hand, trying not to get caught up in staring at his rugged sexiness.

This boy has messy windswept light brown almost blond hair and piercing blue eyes. He was tall and muscular with an old too-big beanie on the back of his head. He was standing with his hands jammed into the pockets of his ripped jeans and a hint of tattoos peaking out of the top of his right shoulder.
"
Why?" He asked.

I stared at him.
"You just knocked my phone out of my hands onto the freaking ground and cracked the screen! You owe me!" I yelled.

"Actually, you dropped your phone." He stated laughing slightly.

"But you made me!" i cried.

"No sweetheart." He was really laughing now.

I glared.

"You will give me $80." i said firmly. Just as i said this, the bus pulled up. We climbed on and didnt say anything else until we got to school.
****
I sprinted away from the bus and towards the school so no one could see me get off it.
That didnt stop Luke from catching up.

"Hey Ariana. Can I call you Ari?" He asked

I ignored him.

"Okay! Awesome! See ya Ari!" And he walked away.

I stared after him.
Only Jenna called me Ari. I wont respond to that nickname unless Jenna says it.
I walked to my first class.
******
After my main morning classes, I went to photography with Jenna.

"So he cracked your screen?" Jenna said, dipping her photo into the chemical water.

"Yeah! I swear I have never been so pissed yet awed at a boy! Other than Caden." I said.

"But you like Caden.. do you maybe like Luke?" She asked.
"No way! He's not even cute." I made a face. "Plus I just met him 5 hours ago."

"True." Jenna replied.

We turned in our photos after exiting the Dark Room and went back to the main building. It was gonna be a long bus ride home.

When I got to my locker, I put my books away and walked to my bus. Luke was already there.

I glared, he smirked. I sat and he laughed.

Jerk.
*****
That night after I was done studying, I went to take my dog Joey for a walk. On the way up my driveway, I saw something on my front door.
I walked up to it and saw a letter.

Dear Ari,
i dont feel bad for your phone screen. but i dont want bad blood between us. so here.
-L. W.

Under the letter there was two 40 dollar bills taped to the door. I gasped. I untaped the letter and the money, looking around. The street was deserted. Some homes were lit and others werent. Joey was scratching his ears.

No Luke Watson insight.

"Thank you!" I yelled into the wind.
And as I shut the door, I swear I heard a "you're welcome" be shouted back.
