The Next Now

Chapter 32: Friends

Henrietta's P.O.V

After Maths, I wait for everyone to exit the class.
My eyes follow London as she packs her things but still doesn't exit the class.
Is she waiting for me? Or does she always do that? How haven't I noticed her before?

"Girl, why's Archer looking at you like that?" London asks as we walk down to her locker, which is two lockers away from Jay's.

I turn my head quickly to see Romeo looking at me indeed.
What does he want?

He's standing with his group of friends. They were all together by some lockers.
-
Aaron Smith, A very hot dark haired bad boy with brown eyes. Nobody dares to cross him, He's the leader of their gang.
-
Ethan Rivera, A super hot human with black hair and brown eyes. The Captain of the football team. My secret cough crush cough
-
Archie Peters, A very hot brown haired boy with chocolate-brown eyes who always has his way. Everyone adores him, and everyone is in love with his smile.
-
Maddie Henderson, She's really pretty with her brown shoulder length curly hair. You try her, you try Aaron, Romeo, Ethan, and Archie.
-
There's Patricia Anthony, Archie's girlfriend. She's a sexy blonde with green eyes. I hear she's calm but I've never really spoken to her, or any of them. You try her, you especially try Archie. You'd also be trying Aaron, Romeo, Ethan, and even Maddie.
-
On bad days, Juliana Oren is part of this group. She's more like the Mean girl and Queen 'bad word', but she's on vacation now.

Slowly, I tear my eyes away from the beautiful ones of Arsenal Academy. Yup, that's the name of this oh so wonderful School.
I remember it sounding really preppy the first time Jay had mentioned it to me.

"I don't know, maybe he's looking at the lockers" I shrug

"Yeah, He obviously doesn't think it's weird to look at the lockers intensely" London chuckles and I quickly catch on to her sarcasm as we start walking to our next classes

"Really... Maybe it's nothing" I laugh lightly "What period do you have next?"

"Gym" She smiles

I blink... Is she smiling? When she has gym?

"Yeah, I like Gym" She chuckles and I realize I asked that out loud "Honestly, I don't really know why"

Wow

"Wow" I breathe "Well, I have Chemistry... Ugh! Mr. Malfoy" I groan

"Uhh.. Mr. Malfoy?" She raises a brow

"Oh right.. Mr Malcolm" I guffaw "Friday Night Harry Potter Marathons" I laugh and she does too before pausing abruptly

"You do that every Friday?" She asks in disbelief

"Yup... I can't go to Parties, I don't want to" I tell her and she nods before we stop at the Gym

"So, see you later?" She gives me a small smile, unsure

"Prepare little baby Energica for me" I smirk and she breaks into a grin before laughing and turning around.

I walk towards my locker, moving stealthily past the remaining students in the hallway

"I never knew you talked to anyone besides Jacob" Someone says behind me

"What do you want?" I sigh as I open my locker and take out my Chemistry textbook, not once looking back at the boy at the locker beside me.
If I do, I'm afraid he just might be closer than I think

"So we're back to this?" Romeo sighs and I finally turn to look at him, and yeah I do have to take a step back.

"Huh?" I ask, actually confused
