Genie In A Bottle.

Genie In A Bottle. Chapter Five.

I was in front of Mrs. Gerhart, anxiously waking as she flipped through my new portfolio. She would nod here and there every few moments but hasn't said a word. I wanted to shake her down and tell her to tell me something. I worked so hard most of the night all the way to two in the morning.

Finally, she closed it and handed it to me smiling, "Better Andria. The angles are good, the edit perfect, and the models are great. Real handsome boys.",

"Thanks.", I said, referring to how good she said it was. "Amazing what you can do in two days.",

She nodded, "Well, it was perfect. It was surely different. Were they your cousin or something?",

"Uh," I said, biting my lower lip. "No, they're both my friends. I asked them and they said yes.",

"Oh.", she said. "Well, you did great. Good job.",

"Thanks Mrs. Gerhart.", I said before walking out of the room. I had a smile on my face as I walked over towards my locker and started packing my things. After stuffing my books in my bag, I closed my locker and turned only to almost run into Sammi.

"Hey, I just wanted to let you know I'm having a pool party this weekend. You should come.", she said, but didn't sound so excited to ask.

I raised an eyebrow, "Whhhy?", I questioned.

"Because then you can bring Levi for thanks for inviting you.", she said in a very 'duh' way.

"Well thanks but I'll object. Goodbye.", I said, walking around her, but she grabbed my upper arm. I looked at her, "Let go of me.",

"Wait.", she said. "Please Alex, just come over. He'll only come if you ask him. I'll do anything.",

"I don't want anything from you, Sammy.", I told her. "And it's Andria.",

She scuffed and turned, "Whatever, I don't care. Just come and...I don't know, swim, eat, dance, I don't care. Just come.",

"I been here for three years and the only time you've talk to me is to talk trash. You really think I'll come just because you want Levi to come also?", I asked. I humorlessly chuckled, "Look Sammy, Levi and I have known each other for awhile. He's family friend. You know how wrong it is for a high schooler to be hanging out with a cop? Advice, stop trying.", I said, turning around.

"I'm eighteen and about to graduate. It's not gonna look weird anymore and my uncle is also a cop in the same station." she said.

"It's not gonna happen." I said coldly

She grimanced at me, "You're such a bitch."

I smiled, "That's my middle name, don't wear it out.", I said.

I walked out Hayden High and saw Levi in his usual spot, turning his key to his bike around his finger. I walked over to him and he looked up when I was a few feet away, "Took ya long.", he complained.

"Got held up.", I said. I raised my hand, "Don't ask. Lets just get to the library.",

"Yes, ma'am.", he said, getting on the bike. I took my helmet out my bag and put it on. I slid on and put my bag in the middle of Levi and I. I wrapped my arms around his waist and he was off.

When we got to the library, we climbed off and we into the library. I showed Levi the way and we went to the last floor where some people where. I smiled when we got the table, "Hi, I was in here two days. I sign portion and my friend Levi want to also.",

They looked at him confused and looked over his uniform. A thirty-some woman pointed at him, "You want to help? Don't Mayor Henders have the cops on his side or anything incase people like us try to stop him.",
