"Right" Ezekiel said. And drew on a blank piece a paper five sections but left one bigger than the others. "How do you think people describe you?" Ezekiel asked making her frown.
"Isn't the question supposed to be how I describe myself?" Mallory asked back. "I don't care what you think about yourself I want you tell me what people think about you" Ezekiel said.
"Why?" Mallory kept her frown in place. "If I ask you to describe yourself you'll speak great things about yourself or who you believe you are but that's not really you it's who you want to be" Ezekiel said as he leaned back on his seat. "The way I describe myself is the way anyone here would describe me" Mallory shrugged.
"And how is that?"
"A great person" Mallory answered. "Okay" Ezekiel said and didn't ask her anything else.
"Is that all?" Mallory widened her eyes. "No um, are you always this bitchy to everyone you meet?" Ezekiel looked at Mallory.
Mallory didn't look at him or answered. She turned the page on her notebook and began doing work for another class. Ezekiel got the hint that she was no longer going to talk to him but felt bad he didn't call her straight forward a bitch he meant her attitude but it did not come out the way he wanted. Now he was the one who felt like a jerk.
A few minutes before the bell rang he whispered over to Mallory, "I didn't mean to say that" he said. Mallory put her Cartier Pen away and closed her notebook before turning to look at him.
"But you did" Mallory smiled and stood up once the bell rang.
As he stepped out of his class he watched as Mallory walked towards another building and couldn't help but think what would happen if she'd tell her friends what he said to her. It shouldn't matter to him what they would think of him but it did and it mattered because he knew they had the power to get him kicked out and he really wanted to be in that school to get into a great university. He could get into one being in a public school but this private school was a really big ticket.

"Hey are you okay? You seem upset or bothered" Dimitri asked Mallory who was grabbing a different notebook from her locker. "I'm fine. Actually, what did you think of me when we met? Better yet what do you think people think of me?" She shut her locker and looked at Dimitri who leaned on the locker besides hers.
Dimitri smiled, "why?"
"I just want to know" Mallory looked at him. "Hey, you're perfect" Dimitri pulled her into a hug. "Who cares what people think about you" he said once he had her embraced in a hug.
"I care" Mallory said. "Why?" Dimitri furrowed his brows. "Forget it" Mallory pulled away. Dimitri grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him to kiss her but before he did he smiled, "you're amazing" He said as he leaned in to kiss her.
Ezekiel walked towards his locker to grab another pen because he lost the one he was carrying in his backpack. He turned and saw Dimitri and Mallory kissing down the hall where her locker was. He grabbed his pen and left thinking how it was that the two richest kids in school were a couple. He thought that it only worked like that in movies.
When he met up with Liam and Devin they talked about where they would meet for Jasons party. "I'll pick up both of you" Liam said to them.
"I dont think so, you drink to much. I'll pick you guys up" Devin nodded. "So it's set, Friday night" Liam smiled. "Do you guys have any girl friends?" Ezekiel asked them. "Yeah, you want us to introduce you to any of them?" Devin asked.
Before he could say anything Devin stood up when he heard Dimitri call him. Ezekiel turned behind him and saw Dimitri and Mallory talking to Devin. He thought that maybe Mallory had said something to Dimitri and now they were telling Devin because Dimitri looked at a Ezekiel about two times as he talked to Devin.
Once they were done speaking Devin went back to his table with Ezekiel and Liam.
"Goodbye Mal" Liam yelled with a grin. Dimitri turned to Liam with a frown and stuck his middle finger out. Liam smiled and stuck his middle finger out too. "He seems very protective of her" Ezekiel said.
"He's in love with her, he'll do anything she asks him to do or anything he has to do to protect her"
"You're friends with him?" Ezekiel asked Devin. "No not friends. My father has business with his parents at the moment" Devin shrugged.
"I have to go back and ask Cynthia, I'll catch up with you" Mallory said to Dimitri and walked back. She walked by the table where Ezekiel was seated and turned to look at him with Liam and Devin.
Liam playfully winked. He didn't like her he just liked bothering her. Liam and Devin where a year older than Mallory and Ezekiel. They were in the same grade that Bellami and Scott were.
Mallory rolled her eyes and continued walking towards her table.
"Who would you go for Mallory or Bellami?" Liam asked Devin.
"I went out with Bellami in middle school so Bellami" Devin said. "What about you?" Liam asked Ezekiel.
"I haven't really met Bellami or seen her that well" Ezekiel said. "Well just for your luck she's walking this way"
"Bella" Liam called her over. Bellami hesitated in walking towards them but did. Ezekiel looked at her and could see the resemblance between her and Mallory. He didn't know what their parents looked like but they must've looked good because both Mallory and Bellami were very attractive. Bellami looked at the three of them and looked at Ezekiel for a few seconds she thought he was handsome but had no idea who he was. Mallory and Dimitri had yet not mentioned him.
"Hey are you going to Jasons party?" Liam asked her. "Why?" She asked. "Go with me as my date" Liam smiled.
Bellami smiled, "not happening" She said and left. Both Mallory and Bellami had the same colored eyes however Mallory's always stood out more because they often seemed dark blue and Bellami's always looked a light green. Bellami had black hair and Mallory had brunette hair.
Bellami was taller than Mallory and a bit more slimmer. She had her father's genes and Mallory had her mother's.

The following day Mallory took her seat besides Ezekiel and grabbed her piece of paper to begin her sketching. "Who's your favorite person?" Mallory asked Ezekiel without looking at him.
"As of right now my father" Ezekiel answered. "Why as of right now?" Mallory asked. "It might change" He shrugged.
