Trina.. Woman of steel

October 30

30th October 2550

I was jubilant to find out that my art and geography was the periods which were same as him. But before that we had to assemble to get the results of the ‘Good-looking judgement’ which I felt was the lamest name ever. It was some type of poll to vote for the most good-looking person, though I recalled voting for Valtor since he asked me too. We were seated, waiting for the results to announce. Basically, Some damn cute blonde guy with one of the most gorgeous eyes I have ever seen and the most awesome attitude of walking eve. His name was Nova Redgers and came 2rd, in front of Valtor! Yay! And first was him. Seeing him again almost got me a heart attack, still remembering that I was dreaming about him the whole night, he came FIRST! But I found out that his name was Helia Eminem, kind of a cool name, I taught. Every girl was standing throughout the whole time since the first three were called. Many were cheering for Nova but a bit more for Helia then EVER!

Glitter was murmuring that the top three were tied actually. I was in a bliss of happiness when I found out that the first period was art. I had dressed confidently in a grey laced loose top and skin tight black tights with grey ugg boots but I was still betting with Terra that morning that Helia had a girlfriend and I would give up 2o pebs if it was false and vice versa. Carrying my black sling bag, I walked in, trying to suppress my anxiety when people were looking at me. I was sure that they heard about the news of Helia saving me from Mona. Boy, gossip sure travels fast here. I sat at a seat in the front row, just in front of Valtor and I saw him winking at me. Why was he winking? At me? I just ignored his usual childish behaviour and looked forward when I had realised that I had been sitting with the ‘famous ones’ and jocks. I was about to slap my head when I felt people sitting to my right and left. So after the incident they did not think I was useless after all? I still remembered them looking through me but now looking AT me. I smiled weakly but then faded when I realised Helia sitting to my right and Nova to my left. Wait what? I had art with Nova too? How come I had not noticed that at all. Usually all these jocks would flock useless people away from the first two rows but now they did not breath a word to me. Luckily Fang was not there. I uttered a prayer when Helia said “Hi”  to me casually. Casually? I would beg to differ because I was wrecking a pandemonium inside but somehow managed a calm composure outside and shushed a small ‘hi’ somehow. I could feel Helia looking at me with confusion even though I was not facing him. Suddenly I felt a hard kick on my chair and Valtor’s irritating voice saying, “pussy”. That moment I turned around to Valtor and gave him my meanest look and saying, “ill skin you alive if you call me that again.” In my usual voice but Valtor was amused by my look and was stifling a giggle while I shoved him lightly then it struck me that Helia was around when I heard Helia say, “Wow..” I was a million percent sure he was shocked that I had turned out to be crude. I jumbled out random word which came from my head. “T-that was not meant for you.” You stupid! I was never talking to him and when I looked at him… an urgent urge of lust creeping into me. He looked adorably handsome in a simple green tee and dark green jeans but with matching sneakers which looked custom made instead. I gulped saliva down my immediately-gotten-dry throat. In the daylight, I was mesmerised by him, lucky to know that none of my roommates were in art at the first period. They would tease me then. When I managed to tear my eyes away from him, I could smell envy of the famous girls to know I was ‘flirting’ with Helia. Fortunately our art teacher, miss Iris entered. When ms Iris went out of the class to collect some stuff, I heard Valtor whispering to Helia, “She is head over heels for you.” “AM NOT” was the first random lie that escaped my lips, words crashing into Valtor. “See?” Valtor continued, with a smirk plastered on his face, grinning towards Helia who seemed to raise his eyebrows blankly. I am such a fool!! AHH! Helia just smiled at me and extended his warm hand out and I immediately grabbed it like a love-starved teenager. Honestly…. I was. His damn soft hand made me too comfortable for my liking. Luckily, we slipped our hands away at the same time and he introduced himself, ”Hi, I am Helia.” . I returned him a really shy look, amazingly able to be alive and not have the urge to… you know. “Hey.. I am Trina.” . I shot Valtor the i-will-kill-you look but it amused him more. I turned my head around in shame.

Lessons went by with a blur with the jocks so nice with me and the popular group treated me as one of them. I just could not believe it. But during break time, I decided to sit with the popular group, an attempt to ignore the weird questions my friends would ask. I was seated next to Valtor when suddenly an uttermost soft hand laid on my left shoulder in a polite manner. I turned to my left to see Nova Redgers staring at me. Yes he was staring at me. My heart skipped a beat and my hand got clammy and it was trembling with anxiety. I saw his gorgeous blue eyes poring into my eyes, studying me intently. I started blushing like a freako. Thank God he acted like it was oblivious and introduced himself. I just nodded and Valtor helped me introduce myself to him, though I did not like it when he said that I was an annoying orange. I nudged him with my elbow rudely but he just shook it off as if it just tickled him. He looked seductive in a cyan blue button-up shirt and dark blue trousers with blue sport shoes with “The Redgers” imprinted on it. Nova asked in a rather formal but very polite manner, “May I sit by your side?” My eyes were as round as saucers. Hunky Nova Redgers asked weirdo Trina Spectra to sit by her? Am I dreaming of gummy bears dancing under a colourful rainbow or what? I nodded firmly. When he sat down, his charisma made me almost swoop down. Valtor came to the rescue and helped me up. He chuckled and sprouted to Nova, “Good job attracting my cousin, Nov. Keep up the good work.” I wanted to slap him that instant but he saved himself by turning around and starting a conversation with Helia. I muttered to him, “You lucky… for now.” .Then I had remembered of my bet when I saw my friends sitting at a table nearby, gesturing me about my bet. I needed to ask that question to him. How will I?  I just shrugged off like I don’t know who they were the fact that they were existing on this planet. They did frantic hand gestures to me but I had pretended not to see them. Eventually, they stopped, looking obviously jealous. I congratulated my great acting skills but it seemed that I had spoken aloud because Nova was looking at me with curiosity. He then asked, “Are you okey? Is something bothering you?” his blue eyes filled with genuine concern which made me feel we were in a flower field and I wanted to fall on him as I got mingled into the deep ocean of blue in his eyes. But instead I managed to stifle out a “No.. nothings wrong.” . Nova gave me the are-you-sure look. I just shrugged to Valtor who was busy chatting with Helia. “Psst..” I whispered abruptly in his ear. Valtor almost jerked which made me giggle. He turned towards me, Helia as well. “What?” he asked with a sudden spring of tension, like as if I have been harassed. “Uhh..-“  I was cut off when one of the jocks, Trever came and whispered into both their ears. I could not make up what they were saying though. They just stood up and left. What.. you leave a girl here alone? Oh yah, I had Nova but he seemed… unimportantly important. I turned back to look at him and suddenly he sent me a cordial smile and before I knew it, I was engaged in a conversation with him. He seemed so friendly, understanding and amiable. Every time he nodded his head in agreement, he was so adorable that I wanted to squeeze his cheeks like he was a gummy bear. I got to know him better in that conversation and I was telling him about Valtor(Revenge..hehe). Once break time was over, I skid back to my gymnastic practice. Boy, I only love my rhythmic gymnastics because it calms my nerves a lot. And the fact that both Helia and Nova were in the judo team and their fights were awfully loud and usually worried me. Especially during my previous days. Since I was more fond in the rhythmic team, I felt it was the only happiness I got. But I was wrong. Completely wrong.
