All three of our cars parked beside each other. I was looking at the window beside me the whole time, when Enzo's car parked beside us. He looked at me, I saw a glimpse of anger in him.... He looked away from me and turned off the car. I opened the door and got out, Natasha hurriedly followed me.
Ryder came walking beside me. "Haaa...so are you excited? You're finally here. This is going to be fun. Studies are fine here." He said while walking, I nodded at him. Jason, Sofia, and Enzo were walking behind us. As soon as we left the parking lot, everyone stared at me. I stopped, and they also did.

A group of boys and girls were standing a few miles in front of us. They kept whispering and looking at me.
Boys had that evil smile in their faces, staring me up and down. I continued walking and then heard a whistle. "Hot Damn! Where did you come from?"

"Just now, I saw her about to break that guy's arms.. "

"Wow! Her hair is nice.".

"Haha, what the hell are you saying??! She looks full of herself.  But that guy beside her is hot!"

 "I don't think I know them, but they look familiar.. "

"Who are they? Some kind of a New Squad? Or what?"


"They look extra rich. It's outstanding!"

People kept talking loud enough so we could hear them. "Is that Enzo? Oh my god!!" Two girls came running towards Enzo. And a guy was following them. He stopped me. "Heyyyy... I don't think I've seen you before. You're new, right?" He asked me. I crossed my arms and stared at him with no intention to answer. "Mm... uuh.... the silent type, aren't you? Let me tell you, how about I take you out for dinner tonight?"

"No, you won't." I heard Enzo. I turned to look at him. The two girls were holding his arms, each one from a side. He pushed them and came to me, pulling me away from that guy. "Hey Enzo. You got yourself a girlfriend? Good choice, bro." He said. "What?!! Enzo, that's your girlfriend?!! I thought you never---OK ENOUGH!!!" One of those two girls came, and I cut her off. I stopped all of this before everyone started thinking I'm dating him, which I'm not. "Let's make one thing clear! Enzo is NOT my boyfriend!" I said loud enough so those who won't stop whispering and staring at us can hear me as well. "Oh, cool, you're single! Want to be mine?" The guy said and winked.

I looked at him with an eyebrow raised, removing my glasses. "Beautiful eyes too, I see. Please?" I rolled my eyes at him and walked away, ignoring him. "Damn...." He said. "Rude!" A girl said.
But I ignored them and continued walking. Everyone was looking at me, for what? I don't know. But what I know is....I'm feeling like a queen. Everyone's attention was on me when I  didn't do anything. I felt nervous but I didn't show it. Is it all because of our cars? That's how they are when They didn't even seem to know that I'm Cleo Marino. What will they do when they know about it?!


I walked in between the crowds of students who were talking but looking at me. They moved away. A group of girls were standing in the middle of the way. I rolled my eyes, and of course, they wouldn't move. I did not ask anyone to move from my way, I could've just gone from beside them. These girls were standing looking at me in an irritating way. Eating gums like how donkeys eat grass.

I laughed at the thought. And they turned angry. I didn't bother, I just turned away from them, walking beside them. And blondie moved her leg, tripping me, or that's what she wanted. I jumped and turned to her laughing. "What are you trying to do? Trip me? Are you a child? Don't try to do that again, it doesn't suit your age."
