I really hope you guys enjoy this chapter!! :) Things are interesting now ;) haha please tell me what you think of it!!
Ari's POV:
I stalked through the hallways sulking and noticed all the strange looks people gave me. Maybe it was because Louis had his arm slung over my shoulders again. I shrug them off for the tenth time and give him a glare. "Stop!" I growl but it comes off as a whine. Great, there goes that threatening demeanor. He chuckles at me and throws me a wink. "Come on babe, you know you love it." I huff and turn away from him, not bothering to try to hold another conversation with him. "Don't ignore me now babe." he whines and I roll my eyes.
"Ariel." he says shortly and I finally turn to look at him. "What?" I snap aggravated and he grins. "Can we just get this over with? You know, be friendly towards one another?" he asks and I have to stop my jaw from falling. He's joking...right? I thought he was going to laugh and call it a joke but he didn't. He stood there with a smile on his face and I sighed. "Fine. Just don't touch me anymore." I reply and his smile gets bigger. "Great! Let's go to the first class then." he says happily and I nod. "First is science." I say and he groans. "I hate that class." he mutters and I giggle. "Doesn't everybody?"
"Touché." he says and I roll my eyes. "Come on." I say and motion for him to follow me. He does and soon we walk side by side without fighting or yelling or attempts to touch me. I can't believe that I'm actually walking side by side with him. He's acting like a civilized person...I don't know how to react right now. "Look Ariel...I know I didn't get a very good first impression on you, so can we start over?" Louis says and looks at me hopefully. Was I really going to give him a chance? Wait, why am I even thinking about giving a guy a chance? Maybe you should just break him like all the others...he seems willing enough. Yeah that sounds good. "Sure." I say and smile at him. He smiles happily and nods his head.
"Great!" he cheers and I roll my eyes. He sure does seem a lot happier than when he did in the classroom. Maybe he was just putting on a show. "So the science building is a separate wing from the school." I say, leading him through doors that would lead us into an entirely different section of the school. "Alright. And what happens if I get lost?" He asks and I give him an amused expression. "You're screwed." I say seriously and he laughs. "I'll try not to be screwed then. Even though that's fun." he says cheekily and winks and I snort. "Oh yeah, so much fun." I say dryly and he gives me a confused look. "Nothing." I say and continue to lead him into the science wing.
Louis' POV:
Was it just me or is this girl really gullible? She really thinks I'm not going to try and make a move on her just because we agreed to be 'friendly?' Haha no. My friendly involves a lot of touching but I don't think she knows that. From the way she carries herself I can tell she's confident but at the same time there's something different about her. Something I can't place my finger on. I follow her as she talks on and on about which class is which and what teachers taught it. I just stared at her as she explained it with an emotionless expression. Did this girl ever have happy feelings? Or was it just me that she acted like this around?
"Okay Louis, do you got all that?" she asks turning around to face me. I give her a smile and nod. "Got it!" I say and she nods. "Alright then next is math and english. They are around the same area so you should be okay." she says and takes off again. What is with her and walking so fast? I have long legs but I still don't speed walk like there's someone chasing me.
"Whoa slow down there speed racer!" I say finally catching up to her. She cocks her head to the side and lifts one eyebrow, making her look extremely cute and vulnerable. Her green eyes seemed to glow and suddenly I felt myself staring into her eyes. "Speed racer? I'm not walking that fast." she says innocently and I snap out of my trance and laugh.
"Well it may be just me, but I don't walk very fast." I say with a shrug and she smirks. "You're gunna have to keep up if you don't want to get lost." she sing-songs and I narrow my eyes as she walks away with her hips swinging back and forth. I smirk and decide to play with her a bit. I run up behind her and grab her waist, throwing her over my shoulder. "LOUIS PUT ME DOWN!" she screamed and I laugh. "I'm keeping up." I say and she groans. "This is not what I meant." she grumbles and I chuckle. "Well I like this better, don't you?" I ask and wink and I can tell that she's rolling her eyes at me. "No I do not! Put me down!" she demands but I ignore her.
"Nope. You're mine now! You belong to me." I say jokingly and for a moment I feel her tense up. She knew I was joking didn't she? "Haha...funny joke there Louis." she says and lets out a laugh, but I can tell it's strained. I set her down and see her face is all red. "Are you blushing babe?" I ask cheekily and she narrows her eyes. "The blood rushed to my face because you threw me over your shoulder, you idiot!" she hisses upset and I smirk. "I thought you'd like it. I was keeping up with you." I say and she snorts. "Yeah...right. You just wanted an excuse to touch me didn't you?" She asks and I raise my hands up in surrender. "You caught me."
"You're a pervert." she mutters and I laugh. "Yes, I will own up to that one." I say and she rolls her eyes before giving me a guarded look. "You're so confusing." she mutters and I furrow my eyebrows. "Confusing? How so?" I ask and she gives me a cautious look. "One moment you're mean and all up on me, the next you're a cheeky pervert who's a bit nice, if I can call it that." she says and I look down. "No one understands me." I admit and she sighs. "Same here." she muttered it but I heard her. "No one understands you? I find that hard to believe." I ask unbelievably and she stares at me wide eyed. "Oh umm...uhh...you weren't supposed to hear that." she mumbles lamely and I smirk. I tap my ears and say "I got sharp hearing love."
She rolls her eyes but I'm curious about her now. "Tell me what you meant." I try and she gives me a hard look. "You wouldn't understand. No one would." she says tightly and I narrow my eyes. "You aren't giving me a chance. I may be able to understand you!" I fire back and anger glows in her eyes. Uh oh.
Note to self: don't make a redhead angry. "Why would I try to give you a chance? I hardly know you and you...you're just like the rest!" she yells and I give her a confused look. "The rest of who?" I shout back and she groans.
"Guys! All guys are the same!" she screams and I take a step back in shock. I've heard girls say this before but the way she said it really took me by surprise. I've never heard anyone say a sentence with so much hatred in their voice. Something must've happened to her, there's no other reason why she'd have so much hostility in her voice. "No we aren't." I say in a calm voice and she rolls her eyes.
"Like you'd know. You don't know anything." she mumbles darkly and shoots me a hard glare. "Let's just get this over with so I don't have to deal with you anymore. I'm tired of this." she growls and for some reason her words hurt me. She begins to walk away and a frown came to my face.
No. I'm not going to let her get away so easy. She's incredibly fit and she's hot, I've just gotta make her mine. I always get what I want, and I'm not letting her break that streak. When she first ran into me I thought he was perfect, but her temper and attitude just draw me in more. She's like bait that I'm dying to grab. Cheesy yes, but it's true.
I follow beside her silently as she walks through the hallways. After her explaining where most of our classes would be she turns to me and her face is emotionless. "It's lunch now. We'll go to the cafeteria and you can sit wherever. Just not by me." she threatened and took off again. I smirked to myself and continued to follow her.
When we got to the cafeteria Ariel practically ran away from me and sat down at a table full of girls. Oh, maybe she was serious when she said she didn't want me by her. I smirk but stroll over to a group of guys. "Mind if I join you?" I ask with a smirk and the boy with curly hair grins. "Not at all. I'm Harry." he says and sticks out his hand. I shake it firmly and we sit down. "This is Niall, Zayn and Liam." he introduces, going down the line on each boy. "Nice to meet you. I'm Louis." I say and they grin. "I have a feeling we'll get along just fine." Zayn says coolly and I smirk.
"What makes you so sure?" I say and he laughs. "You messed with the Troublemaker so that automatically makes you one of us. We don't really like her." Zayn says and I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. "Troublemaker?" I ask and he nods. "Ariel Valentine. She's known as the Troublemaker around here. Causes guys so much pain and suffering. Always breaks their heart." Liam says and my eyes widen. Something flashed in my head from what Ariel had told me. "Guys! All guys are the same!!" I nodded my head and smirked.
"She's feisty." I comment with a chuckle and Harry's eyes narrow. "Don't get attached to her." he warns and I smirk. "Please, I know what I'm doing. She's...my new game." I say and look over to where she's sitting. Her red hair cascades down her back while she smiles at something a girl with brown hair said. She turned to look at me and she glared before turning away quickly. I chuckle and focus back on Harry and the others. Zayn, Niall and Liam all have smirks on their faces while Harry gives me a look of warning.
"She doesn't like to play games mate. Just ask Zayn. He tried to hook up with her once, when he first got here. She made him cry like a baby. She has this way of getting into your head before she just breaks you, so be careful, or else you'll end up like him." Harry says with a slight smirk to Zayn, who in return glared at Harry. "I didn't cry like a baby." he mutters back and I laugh.
"Oh I'll make her play my game. Because I always win." I say confidently and smirk at the boys. They don't know who I am or anything. None of these people here know what I'm capable of. "Then do us all a favor." Zayn says and I turn to look at him. "What?" I ask and both him and Harry smirk. "Break her heart for us." they say and I grin. "Sure thing." I turn my head to look at the fiery redhead and chuckle. Ariel doesn't know what's coming for her.
OH NO!! :o Is Louis really going to break her heart?? And what do you think Ariel is hiding?? Please let me know below!
