Why We Get Along

*Bella's POV*

On my way to school everyday, I mark what day it is on my arm. In very tiny letters I have the days of the week from Monday-Friday. With a simple black marker, I mark the day as Friday. The previous marks from the previous days are faded to gray. After putting the marker away, I pulled down my sleeve just above my elbow, enough to just cover the days and marks.

I'd only landed one foot in the door when I was bombarded with greetings from everyone. Many people crowded around me with flailing arms as waves.

"Good morning everyone, hope your morning is well! But I really must go, things to do, people to see. I'm in a hurry cant you see? So now I really must go, Down the rabbit hole I go~!" I quickly spouted nonsensical words to distract the crowd as I walked away. I peeked around to find my friends waiting for me in front of my locker.

*Dean's POV*

Me and Airallia noticed Bella making their way towards us.

"Down the rabbit hole, huh?" Airallia asked Bella with a snobby tone to her voice

"Not childish enough for you, you big baby~?" Bella just had to give a remark back to Airallia. I simply sighed and rolled my eyes as they continued to bicker like an old married couple.

I pulled a book out of my bag that I had been obsessing over this week. As all my body weight gently leaned back against the lockers. To block out any bickering or background noise, I got reinvested in my book for about the 30th time this week. Drowning others out is something I typically do quite often.

This book was truly something amazing. The world around me seemed to disappear and transform into the fantasy world on the pages of my book. Magical, wonderful things surrounded me, filling my mind and my reality with the beauty. My Fantasy world. At the end of my chapter, i paused to take a moment with a deep breath. I closed my eyes while reaching my hand out to the imaginary world around me. My hand glided over a figure to trace around a wonderful and muscular dragon. 

I was suddenly snapped back to reality at the sound of an alarming class bell. My eyes shot open when Airallia had started shaking me

"Wake up nerd," Airallia shook me so hard I thought she was trying to give me whiplash.

"Your next adventure awaits, to Camelot my friend! In the realm of Arthur you may learn many things of out medieval past." Bella continued being their nerdy self, referring to my classroom as Camelot. I slightly giggled and smiled at them.

"Ill learn what I can Sir Merlin," I played along and a giggle escaped Bella's lips

*Airallia's POV*

Listening to them talking nonsense was confusing, but theirs giggles are something to treasure.

A slight smile tugged at the corners of my mouth at their giggles. They seemed to take notice when they looked at me. I flinched and felt my cheeks heat with embarrassment. Quickly turning away in the direction of our classroom.

"Lets go to class... We don't want to be late" Each of them hung onto an arm of mine and engaged into conversation.

"So, whos ready to sneak out for some ghost hunting tonight~?" Bella said and I smiled, They knew exactly how to distract me before my thoughts had taken over.

"So ready! My house tonight, so careful of the gremlins," Dean said with a serious tone but with a giggle "They got nerf guns for Christmas by the way, just a heads up" I squealed at the thought, but Bella giggled.

"sounds great, Ill shoot them right back~" Bella  said with a slightly evil tone to their voice.

I looked down at Bella then down at Dean. I let a giggle escape my lips before we entered the classroom.

The late bell rang as we settled at our desks. We all looked at each other from our corners of the room with smiles. The weekend was almost here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know its not the best, Ill get better at writing, I hope- But I hope this was good enough to start my new story about my characters. Its my first time actually publishing one of my stories about my OC's. 

This will hopefully be the normal length of each chapter since its really all I have time for cause school takes up a lot of my time. But ill try to post at least once a week too.

Anywayssss, if anyone actually reads this, thanks for reading! See you next week, fingers crossed!
