The boys and I arrive at school the following week. And it's time to start looking for our girls.
We each separate to go to our lockers. After that we just roamed the halls for a while observing the girls. When the warning bell rang most people scattered to their classes leaving the halls deserted. Of course there were still some students around but one caught my attention.
A girl, she was wearing tight fitted dark blue washed jeans and a plain black v-neck with Air Jordan 10's. She was thick but the good kind. Light skinned and had hair going down her back. And I'm praying with all my might that she is a wallflower so that she can be my target.
"Bringgg." the late bell went off and we casually stride to our classes.
......
My first class is English and I have it with Jason. When we walk in the teacher is in the middle of introducing herself and the expectations for the new school year.
"Mr. Rivera and Mr. Williams I suppose." she says.
"Yes ma'am." I reply
"And why are you late on the first day."
"We had a situation with our schedules."
"Alright well take your seats." We looked around the classroom and found some seats in the back. I took out my phone and started messing around on it.
After a while she started asking questions and calling on random people so I decided to at least find out what we were talking about. Looking to the person on the other side of me I saw that it was a girl and her hair fell covering the side of her that was towards me.
"Psssst." I whispered. "Pssst."
"What?"
"What are we talking about?" she rolled her eyes.
"Just basic rules of the school, so that we remember." and then she turned away allowing her hair to cover her side again ending all conversation.
"Thanks." I said anyway. I looked over at Jason nodding at him.
"Is that your girl?" he asked
"No but I have a clue of who I want."
"Who?"
"I'll show you her later bu...."
"Mr. Rivera can you answer the next question for me." I looked at the board and realized that the girl lied to me, we were not talking about rules but about writing skills and things like that.
"Ah." I cleared my throat "Can you please repeat the question?" she sighed but did as I asked.
...........
Sitting in science falling asleep I hear the late bell ring but I don't care enough to lift my head. The teacher starts talking and all that bad stuff when the door opens and closes causing him to pause in his speech.
"Why are you late?"
"I'm so sorry I just got confused with the hallways."
"Fine you're excused find a seat." Then he continues from where he left off.
A minute later the chair next to me gets pulled out making me lift my head. My eyes connect with the girl's from the hallway and I instantly bite my tongue and stop what I was about to say.
"Hi, is this seat taken?" she asked quietly.
"No it's all yours." I replied as she sat down.
"Thanks." I just nodded. I'd get my chance to talk to her later.
"Okay so we will start the semester off with a project. You most likely will stay in the same seat for the rest of the year unless I move you. So after I put you into your assigned seats then I'll explain the project."
"Amanda and Rian, Taylor and Micheal, Justin and Mariah......Armani and Louis."
Who the fuck is that? I looked around the classroom and couldn't figure out who she was so I just sat down and waited till everyone else was paired up.
The hallway girl walked over to me with a small smile.
"Louis?" And that right there made me break out into a grin. She would be my partner.
"Yea, and Armani right?"she nodded and opened her mouth to say something but Mr. something interrupted.
"Okay so this is an in school and out of school project basically it's so that you get to know your partner better and I get to see what you know. I'm gonna pass out the direction sheet and help those who need help to get started." We got our paper and read over it. The assignment was a pretty easy topic so we had nothing to worry about.
"These projects are things that you have learned in your previous years of school and it's just a review every group has a different topic. Use your time wisely you have the rest of the period."
"This is a pretty easy topic."
"Yeah but it has a lot of requirements."
"Here let me see." I took the paper and read over it smiling to myself. She was right which meant we would have to spend a lot of time together. "Alright then let's get started."
.........
She doesn't talk a lot. She's really shy. And every time I call her beautiful her light brown milky skin is over taken in the color red.
"Stop it." she snaps at me. I laugh.
"Why? What exactly am I doing wrong?" I asked leaning closer to her.
"You know what you're doing and stop distracting me from this stupid project." I laughed again and nodded deciding to give her a break from my teasing.
"Okay so when are we meeting up and whose house?" I asked when we were packing up waiting for the bell.
"Umm not my place and it doesn't really matter to me."
"Okay so this up coming Friday my place after school." she blushed and nodded. Then when the bell rang we went out separate ways.
..........
At lunch the guys and I all sat together with of course the rest of our friends.
"We have a good amount of new kids in our grade this year." Jason murmured.
"Yeah I noticed." Carter voiced.
"More importantly there are new girls which equals new bait." Blake joined in. Just then as I looked up my eyes locked in on Armani. She was with that girl from my English class that I sat next to. They were both cracking up at something as they got their lunch.
"That's one of the finest new girls we got this year." Blake says next to me. I look at him to see that he's staring at Armani.
"I already called her." I say instantly.
"Shit are you serious." Jason says.
"Yes very much so back the fuck off."
"Calm your dick man dag." Carter said.
But still none of then have removed their eyes from her. She looks up and our eyes connects and she smiles and looks down. I smirked and turned to the guys.
"Are y'all interested in anyone else?"
"Yeah her friend." Carter said nodding to the girl with Armani.
"She's a bitch." came my instant reply.
But he just rolled his eyes at me.
.......
In my next period I walked in right before the late bell and looked for a seat. A smirk slowly overtook my features as I saw Armani and her friend in the back with an open seat behind her. When I sat down her friend- I really need to find out her name- glared at me causing my smirk to grow as I sent her a wink.
"Hey Louis." Armani said quietly.
"Hey Mani."
"Mani?" the other girl demanded "Don't call her that!"
"And why not?" I said smugly as I leaned forward.
"Because that's my nickname for her and I'm the only one allowed to use it."
"Ivy don't it's ok." Armani said quietly.
"Yeah Ivy don't start stuff."
"You little piece of...."
"Alright class I'm gonna go over the rules and expectations for my class then you may do what you want but only for today because next week we're gonna kick into gear....." he went on explaining everything he expected of us while I continued to shoot smug looks at Ivy and play with Armani's hair making her shiver.
