Arianna Jess Carlton , she's the biggest nerd in her school, Willston high. She's the loner and has been since she started, but who would've known that this 17 year old girl could kick your ass ten times over. She's the legendary "Ari" or also known...
It came to soon, it felt like a second ago we had just left the house when in fact it had been quite a few minutes. We pulled through the school gates as the bell rang loudly, unlike what I expected none of the students moved, they all just turned and gave their attention to the vehicles.
My mind is whirling with how bad this probably looks, I fumble with my hands and look down. I felt as if every eye here was made to judge my movements. To be blunt this whole situation felt awkward. It's not that I've never been watched by a thousand eyes before, trust me I have but I just wasn't used to it as a nerd.
The whole point of this disguise was so I didn't catch the eye of anyone from the student body, but now in this moment practically the whole school body was staring at me.
We all had stepped out of the vehicles and stood in our own group circle in which I seemed to be the only one concerned over the looks.
"You ready Ari?" James nudged my side, I slightly nodded and glanced up catching Zayden's eyes that watched me curiously.
His gaze was strong as he took a couple steps towards me, he looked as if he was about to say something but was interrupted by someone hooking their arm through mine.
I turned to see Mar, her head raised , looking proud with all smiles.
"Let's go girl, time to get this show on the road!" I laughed at her enthusiasm for a moment distracted from my nerves. I looked towards the rest of the group that stood behind us some with mischief eyes and some glaring.
In this moment I felt happy,
I felt like I have someone there for me, not just someone, a group of people.
I looked at them and I smiled, a genuine smile. They smile back, and for some reason it felt like it wasn't just them helping me, but it was also me helping them.
I turn back around, push my glasses up, hook my arm tighter around Mars' and I take the first few steps forward. Every step I took made me feel more confident with myself.
Suddenly I came to an awful realization and stopped walking.
"shit" I mumbled under my breath.
"What happened ?" Mar asked also stopping alongside the others.
That's when I run off like an idiot past everyone.
"The bell rang !!" I scream behind me towards the group, hearing their laughter at the other end of the hall.
I look back right before reaching my class making eye contact with Zayden whose eyes sparkled as he smiled, he looked so carefree right now and for some reason it made my heart beat loud and fast.
I couldn't have stopped my own smile from showing even if I had tried.
I turned around walking into the class with a huge grin.
"You're late Arianna, that's a detention for you!"
I groan slightly but looked at the rest of the class seeing only about 10 people present.
'what the fuck, why am I getting a detention when I'm one of the only people here'
I didn't say anything to the teacher though and just sat down, perhaps everyone was still in the hallway staring , as usual not minding their own business.
I'm surprised with how I'm handling my first detention, maybe it was because I already knew who was more than likely to be in detention with me.
With that my smile reappeared, before I took my notebook out and began with some notes.
My phone beeped a few minutes later, I pulled it out to see a text from the bad boy himself.
'Once a nerd, always a nerd :)'
I chuckle slightly, knowing that I hadn't even acted running to class it was second nature. My phone beeped again
'A cute nerd ;)'
and with that today has officially started to be a good day.
As school ended I didn't know if i should just skip detention especially since I had to pick up Jake from school.
Someone grabbed my arm lightly stopping me, turning I see Mar.
"Do you have detention?" She asked smiling although detention honestly wasn't something to smile about.
I nodded "yea, sadly, I might not go though I have to pick up Jake"
"I'll pick up Jake, I'm going to be picking up Zay's sister anyways" says Caleb appearing out of no where.
"He's the only one who doesn't have detention" inputs Mar , I nodded thanking him as he leaves, me and Mar walk our way to detention.
Walking into detention it was really packed, but we easily spotted the group all of them excluding Caleb being here.
We make our way to the seats but before we get there some girl slides into a seat and Lesley slides onto Zayden lap wrapping her arms around him.
I stopped in my steps as i watched her graze her hand over his chest, she leaned in more towards his ear whispering something that caused him to smirk . She bit her lip slightly got out of his lap and winked at him before looking at me and smirking again.
This for some reason angered me. It made me frustrated and I honestly had no idea why so it made me confused.
I held my books a bit tightly my hands becoming a pale white and red as I slightly loosened my hands.
She walked passed me shoving me to the side.
"Bitch" I mumbled under my breath, I heard her heel clacking come to a stop as she pivoted around.
"What did you just call me?" she said as her manicured hand shoved me a little.
"no-o-thing" I stuttered quietly , still being the nerd I am supposed to be.
"What do you mean nothing what the hell did you call me?!" She screamed slightly, her glare being one to kill with no mercy.
I had no control over my next few responses and I knew they were going to cause hell.
