The beauty of change

Chapter one

Aphrodites POV

Walking into the school gates, I check my phone for my time table, 'great digital design then math' getting to my locker avoiding people eyes I put in my code, locker 005 is all you can see on the old wooden red locker, our lockers are so small, especially on the senior side of school, you have to crunch down on the floor and all you can fit is your bag and a few folders, I gave up on folders at the start of the year, so all I have is my bag and a munch of looks and loss papers every where.

Gathering my digital design work and math books I walk into home room.

I hate home room, i have no friends in my class so I site with my two ex best friends as they talk about how great their lives are going to be together, I feel so excluded and horrible, I don't even want to think about what we used to be, so I pit my head phones and and read my book.

'Shit! The math test is today and I haven't revised!' I scream in my head, 'how stupid am I to do that, I completely forgot the math test existed' I moan as I slump down in my seat.

"Um hello?" I hear a unfamiliar voice muffle through my blaring music.

I pull my ear phones out and look up to see the most gorgeous guy I have ever seen, his skin is fair, and his bluey hazel eyes seems to be looking into my soul, his brown hair is messy like he's ran is had through it a number of times, and let's not forget his body! Damn! He's not huge but he sure does have muscles, I can easily beat up anyone in my school with those muscles, then the smell hit me, he smelt amazing, like cinnamon roles and sugar, with a mint of mint.

"I'm sorry, I just saw you sitting here and I thought I will come say hi" I realised that I was checking him out and a blush attacked my checks, 'great job Aphrodite! You gust ruined any chance of ever seeing this guy again!' I nod my head and go to put my earphones back in, trying to avoid any more awkward moments, saving him time and me never ending embarrassment.

"Isn't it rude to put your earphones one while talking to someone" he chuckles while reaching for my earphones to pull them out, when his knuckles touched my check I felt tingles and pull away, 'idiot! He is being friendly and you pull away! Stupid stupid stupid!' I internationally lecture myself.

Why is he talking to me? Why isn't he looking at me with disgust? Where did he come from? I don't remember seeing him around, and I sure as hell would remember seeing that face and body.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable" he quickly blurts out, then I realise what a true idiot I am, I haven't said a single word to him yet!

"I'm Aphrodite" my mumble was so low that I wonder if he will even hear it, the smile on his face says he did hear me, and he was very happy I decided to say something.

"Hey, I'm Oscar, Oscar Wellmoon"

Oscar, what a simple name but yet I feel like my world has changed, that one word can make me fall to my knees if I was standing.

"Why are you talking to me?" I blurt out, maybe he wants something from me, maybe he just wants to play with me then throw me to the dogs, maybe he wants to become my friend and then tell everyone my secrets, maybe he-

"What do you mean?" His head is slightly tailored to the side and he has the most genuine confused look on his face that I don't know if I believe him, he could be a good actor for all I knew.

"What do you want from me? Why are you here? With me?" I must sound like a butch but I don't mean to be, I'm just defensive, if he wants something from me he might as well just say it, I don't want to be court up in anything that will hurt.

"Well honestly..." he looked really nervous now.

What is he about to say?

Is he about to say he just wants to use me to get good grades because I look smart, pick up the look part

Maybe he wanted to know who the two girls are beside me (my two ex best friends)

Maybe he wanted me to do work for him  and be his little minion, be a good little dog and do what I'm told.

I'm new here and I was hoping you would help me around..." he said it so fast  and so low I only just barely heard him.

I did not expect that one...

His hand is rubbing against the back of his neck and he looks like someone is holding a gun to his back and the words are being forced out, maybe they are being forced out, maybe he doesn't actually want my help, I'm just an easy target to talk to until he gets some real friends.

What should I say to him?

What should I do?

Maybe I should ask one of the others in the class to look after him for me.

Maybe I should act cool and see if I can keep him as a friend, it would be nice to have a new friend.

"Ummm I don't know..." I mumble under my breath

He looks like a Greek God and here he is talking to me, a low life, a peasant, why would he hang out with me, I can think of at least 20 other girls who will look great next to him.

The though of other girls with him suddenly made me angry, why am I angry? I don't know him, he doesn't even know me, nor will I ever deserve such beauty in my life, someone who is as chubby as me doesn't deserve people like him.

"Oh come on, what's the worst that can happen" he say as he sits down beside me slumping down in his chair, legs spread apart, and the arm closest to me resting on the back of the chair, turning his body to me to give me his full attention.

Man he's really not going to give up any time is he?
