*Next Day*

It's the morning after yesterday's tragic event and the last thing I want, is to be held up again by the stupid crowd of girls blocking the front entrance but low and behold, when I get to school, the same crowd of girls from yesterday are yet again blocking the way. Talk about a pain in the ass. Anyways, Rowan stayed home so it's only Meedan and I. I let out a sigh "do you want to go through the front or back?" Meedan asks breaking the silence. I think for a moment "I'm feeling reckless today so let's attempt to go through the front" I answer with a determined look on my face. Meedan looks at me like I'm crazy but holds my arm soon after "here we go" I say while preparing myself to be trampled. We take off to the front entrance and into the crowd of girls. I hang onto Meedan for dear life until someone shoves me on accident and I start to fall backwards. I close my eyes waiting to hit the ground, but, I don't. Huh? Instead of landing on the ground I landed on someone. They're holding me up by the arm. I open my eyes hesitatingly and to my surprise, Souji and Meedan are both holding me up. "Um. Are you ok?" He asks me quietly, trying not to let the girls notice him "y-yeah" I answer shakily. When I finally come back to reality, it turns out we had already made it inside without dying. They both let go of me slowly "thanks" I tell them with a blush. Souji shrugs his shoulders and walks away. "Those girls are monsters" Meedan says, interrupting my thoughts. Before I can say anything, she starts to walk to class
"Anyways, I gotta get to class. There's a test today, see ya" she calls out from down the hallway. I watch her disappear into a room. I sigh just as my phone starts to ring. Who the heck is calling me at school? It better not be my brother. "Hello?" I answer " hey Ariana, it's me Rowan. I'm sorry for calling while your at school" she tells me. I start walking to class
"What's up?" I ask her. She stays silent for a while like she's thinking about something. I stop in front of my classroom "can you tell John to reschedule our date tonight?" She asks after a million years. John is Rowan's boyfriend. I'd rather not talk about him but I'll do it anyway. John is a junior at our school and he's in Class A. That's all I'm saying for now. I sigh "sure" I answer. She breathes a sigh of relief "thanks Ariana, I knew I could count on you" she replies "your wel-*click*" she hangs up before I can finish my sentence. Ok. Before I can walk into class, someone grabs me from behind and covers my mouth. Oh great. Now I'm really going to die. "If you scream I'll hurt you" a guys voice whispers in my ear. I freeze in place. "Follow me" he says. I get a cold feeling in my gut. Yeah, never mind. I'm not dying today. I kick the guy in the nuts making him fall to the floor. "OWW!!! Jeez Ariana, it was just a prank!!" A familiar voice tells me. I look down and it was my friend Patrick. The king of changing his voice. He was absent yesterday. In case you were wondering. I grab him by the shirt and put him in a head lock "do you have a death wish?" I ask him. He taps my arm "I'm sorry, please spare me." He begs. I drop him roughly. The late bell rings. Wow. I'm right in front of my class. I groan in frustration "Now look what you did. You made us late to class!!" I snap irritated. Patrick rolls his eyes "stop being such a goody two shoes, it's annoying" he retorts while crossing his arms. I shake my head and walk into class. We're both greeted by a book flying at us at light speed. I duck and it hits Patrick in the face, leaving a red mark right in the middle of his face. My teacher hits the desk "why are you late!?" He asks. I stay silent and stare at the floor. I've never been late before. "I tripped sir and Ariana was nice enough to help me" Patrick answers breaking the silence. Mr. David raises his eyebrow "oh really?" He asks suspicious. "Yes sir" I finally say. He stares at us closely "just sit down" he replies while rubbing his face. Patrick shrugs his shoulders and goes to his seat. I sigh in relief and rush to my seat. My teacher stands in front of his desk and crosses his arms "Since Ariana and Patrick are late, every single one of you lousy students will be staying after school to help the janitors clean the bathrooms" he tells the whole class with a glare. All of us boo. A random girl stands up "No offense Mr. David, but that's bullshit!!" She snaps while slamming her desk with her fist. "Watch your mouth Winnie" he tells her. Great. Now we're all being punished for something I did. I raise my hand "what is it now Ariana?" My teacher asks irritated. I stand up "instead of punishing the entire class for something they didn't do, how about you just punish me and Patrick?" I suggest. Patrick glares at me from across the room. I ignore him. "Is that what you want?" Mr. David asks. I nod my head. He scoffs "well that's too bad" he answers. I hang my head in shame and sit back down. I tried. Winnie groans "thanks a lot you two!" She complains. "Shut up Winnie!!" Patrick retorts. She scoffs "unlike you two dumb asses, I actually have a life out of school!" she snaps. That's it. "Unlike you Winnie, I'm not scared to kick your ass out of school." I say, mocking her. The class erupts with "oooooh". Mr. David slams a book on his desk gaining all our attention. His eyebrow is twitching in irritation. He fixes his glasses " if you're all done arguing like kids, I'd like to start class" he tells us. We all apologize. Except for Winnie. " You all may be in a school for gifted teenagers, but you all act like stupid four year olds fighting over a toy. Even my 7 year old daughter doesn't act like that." He complains while shaking his head. Did I mention that Mr. David is only 25? No? Well now you know. For the next hour he lectures us about our behavior. I look over at Patrick while Mr. David rambles on. He's asleep with his eyes open. Creepy. How did I become friends with him? I think back to when we first met. Me and Patrick became friends in the 6th grade. I would always stand up for him when people bullied him for being gay. After that, he always stuck by me like a duckling following its mother. It feels so long ago. I sigh and take out my project that's due today "Pass your projects up to the front of your row please" Mr. David requests. Once that's done, I lay my head down on my desk and close my eyes.....

*Lunch time :)*

As soon as the bell rings for lunch, I jump out of my seat and bolt to the cafeteria with Patrick right beside me. Meedan is already there waiting for us. She stares at Patrick " where we're you yesterday?" She asks him. He smiles, showing off his bright pink braces " I had an orthodontist appointment" he answers. Meedan and I hum in response and walk into the lunchroom. My eyes immediately land on Souji. He's sitting in the same spot as yesterday. Patrick holds my shoulder " Who is that hottie?" He asks us quietly. I roll my eyes " That's Souji. He's an exchange student from Japan" I answer. He's still just drinking a red juice pouch. Patrick makes goo goo eyes at him and drags us over to the him. Wait. I didn't get to get my lunch. Oh well, I wasn't that hungry. We sit down "Hi Souji" Patrick says right off the bat. Souji ignores him and looks at me "hi Ariana" he says. I blush and smile "hey" I retort. Then I remember what happened yesterday. Meedan notices "we're sorry about yesterday" she tells him for me. He shrugs his shoulders "it didn't bother me" he retorts. An awkward silence falls over us. I decide to break the silence " Aren't you hungry?" I ask him. He stares at me "no" he answers bluntly. Ouch. Patrick stares at him with hearts in his eyes. Souji notices and raises his eyebrow " who are you?" He asks. Patrick blushes and flips his hair. Ugh. He's trying to flirt. " My names Patrick, I'm best friends with Meedan, Rowan and Ariana" he answers. Souji sighs " I don't mean to be rude but, are you gay?" He asks. *insert crickets* I had a feeling he was going to ask that question. Me and Meedan look at Patrick who's face is frozen in a look of shock. He laughs awkwardly " Was it that obvious?" He asks. The 3 of us nod our head. Patrick looks hurt "I'm sorry If me being gay freaks you out, I'll leave" he says then running out the cafeteria. All of a sudden the lunch crowd rushes in. I stand up and run after him. Dang it Patrick!!....
