Devanie's POV
____________________________________________________
I laughed silently at myself when I walked to my first class of the day. I think either I made a really good decision or really bad decision. How could someone have such a large ego? He was so cocky too. I still don't even know his name.
I'm still very thankful to the fact that no one's recognized me.
Everyone else seems to not recognize me so this week or maybe even my whole year will run smoothly, I can finally leave this hell hole and do something I want to do.
I walked up to the open classroom door and peeked my head in. I spotted an empty seat in the back, ladies and gents that's what I call a golden seat.
I quickly rushed over and sat myself down to observe the room."Your that girl from earlier!" I raised my head to look at a girl that looked no taller than me. She peered her eager face towards mine. She had short pink hair with bangs and slightly tan skin. She had bright hazel eyes that you could clearly see just by standing far away.
"I'm Voyanne, but you can call me Voya!" She exclaimed excitedly as she sat in the empty seat in front of me. Voya seemed super cheery, and it was great to see someone from eye to eye.
Literally.
"You've seen me before?" I asked her as I pulled out a pen from my back pocket, it was a ball point pen, not that the information of what type of pen I used was important, I just wanted to tell you which pens I prefer to use, that's all. She nodded her head excitedly. "You were the girl that slapped Pryer this morning!"
"Oh so that's his name."
"You don't know about Pryer?" Voya eyes went wide
"Is he some kind of celebrity or something?" I asked as I started writing my name in cursive on my hand. "He basically is. He's THE Pryer Wyatt. There's four of them in total." She explained with a wide and almost creepy smile.
"There's four Pryer's?"
"No no, there's four of his friends. So five of them all together actually." She explained while constantly pushing her hair out of her face. I stared at her. I really wanted to enjoy this conversation, but we're just talking about the boy that owes me 30$.
"So basically their like Boys over Flowers, but five of them?"
"What's Boys Over Flowers?"
I immediately stopped tracing over my hand to look up and stare at her. Does this girl not know what--Excuse me, what?
"Never mind."
The bell had rung and everyone was settled in their seats, a boy in all black with platinum blonde hair walked into the classroom after the bell had rang. I quickly looked around the classroom and frowned when the only remaining seat was right next to me. Why didn't Voya sit next to me instead of in front of me?
I glanced over at him. He was extremely pale, but it suited him. I noticed he had a mole right under his eye. He had double piercings on his ear and super red lips. He looked like a K-pop star, if I'm being honest. He was slumped in his seat and totally spaced out.
Suddenly his eyes side eyed me and his dark irises looked at me for a split second then he looked away and smiled.
That wasn't weird at all.
The teacher explained all the little details and rules in her classroom. Which in fact will all be broken by me. I'm legally and adult and it'll be last year here. So I'm really not trying to be stuck up.After class Voya and I decided to skip. Who cares if it's our first day. What could they possibly do?
That same pale boy from earlier was in the halls, but this time he was with someone. He looked short standing next to him, but if he stood in front of me I would become a dwarf.
I should stop talking about my height.
I squinted my eyes to see who was walking next to him and it was the same guy from earlier.
Pryer.
Voya shook my arm to get me out of my trance. We were now standing only a few inches in front of Pryer and that boy. "So this is the girl?" I peered up at the boy from my first period. He still looks like a K-Pop star. He has that wide smile that shows his sharp canines. It was strangely mesmerizing.
"She's cute." He said and then proceeded to take my hand and kiss it. I immediately snatch my hand away. "W-What are you doing?"
"I'm flirting with you."
At least he's honest.
Voya instantly pulled me closer to her and put her hand to my ear. "River Lee just flirted with you! He's one of the five boys I was talking about!" Voya whispered angrily making sure that she was clear. "You know I never got your name Afro-girl." Pryer smirked as he leaned closer to me.
"I'm Devanie Cooper, and you owe me 30$." I said with a fake smile.
He rolled his eyes and stood straight again. "Can you relax, it's only 30$ and besides you haven't fallen for me yet." He complained and River laughed. So did Voya, but she laughed like it was the most funniest thing ever. This girl was practically wheezing.
"I am totally relaxed, and I expect my money by the end of the week." I said as I stared directly in his eyes. "Fine, that is if you don't fall in love with me." He said before digging in his pocket and pulling out a yellow butterfly hairpin.
He stuck the hair pin in my curly hair, before leaving with River. "So if I'm hearing correctly, you can't fall in love with him so you can get your 30$?" Voya asked as she turned her head towards me.
"Pretty much." I shrugged as I continue to walk down the hallway with Voya quickly following behind. "Do you honestly know how lucky you are? I mean The Pryer Wyatt is going to spend his entire week trying to make you fall in love with him. Which means you get to be pampered and every girl here will literally have drones watching your every move."
"Can you explain to me why he's so special? And his friends." I yawned as I took out the hairpin from hair and put it on my belt loop. I just wanted to sleep and get my 30$."Well there's, Pryer Wyatt, River Lee, Noah Bradford, Leo Salazar, and Fia Richard's." Voya explained, as she listed each of them like they were a listing prize for a carnival game.
She was excited for no reason.
"But why is Pryer considered a walking piece of gold here?" I asked and Voya took a deep breath and clasped her hands together.
"That's because he is a walking piece of gold. His family is crazy rich, for there hotels, business buildings, resorts, and so much more. In the center of it all is Pryer, the face of the industry. He's one beautiful face, that's why every girl, including myself, has a major crush on him. Girls and sometimes guys would do anything for his attention. In junior year a girl showed up to class in lingerie to get his attention, luckily for her it worked. He never has girlfriends either. It's kind of weird if you ask me. He only has one night stands." She finished explaining all inn one breath and exhaled dramatically when she finished.
"Have you had a one night stand with him?"
"Not yet and I just got here and your the first person I see. I'm not exactly knew to this school, but he's never noticed me. Not even once." Voya's her cheery attitude dropped instantly.
"He's too full of himself anyway. He thinks I'll fall for him in less than a week. Which is absolutely ridiculous." I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, but he's cute isn't he? So are his other friends, but Pryer stands out the most." Voya said dreamily while batting her short eyelashes.
"Why aren't you girls in class?"
We both stopped dead in our tracks when an administrator called our attention. Let's be honest with ourselves. We did the only thing we could do.
We ran the opposite direction.
Lunch had finally rolled around and I wad starving and of course the cafeteria food sucked straight dirt, but there was no surprise about that. Just your typical American school is all, nothing personal
I sat at a table near the window next to Voya. She brought her own lunch which did not look appealing to me at all. Suddenly the cafeterias noise volume went from a 10 to 10,000 in a split second. I paid my attention towards the main doors to see Pryer and his group of animals.
They were walking towards our table and Voya made it completely obvious that she was trying not to combust. "Their coming towards our table Devanie!"
The girls in the room did not look happy at all when they realized where they were heading. Pryer made it to our table first and grabbed a random chair to sit in. He sat next to me and his friends circled the table with their chairs. No one said anything, but all five of them stared at me. I dropped my fork annoyed and Pryer spoke up.
"Hey Devan, I just wanted to say hi." Pryer smirked for the 12th time today and leaned in to me. "First of all your too close, second you said hi, third what ever your trying to do is not working." I said obviously irritated as I shoved my tray of disease (food) away from him.
"So your the Devanie Pryer keeps talking about? If my eyes are working right I'd say your kind of cute." A boy said beside River. He had super light brown eyes and brownish hair. He smiled at me showing his extremely deep dimples.
"Well today's your lucky day." I said and laughed nervously.
"I'm Fiacre (Fe-are-kay) Richard's, but you can call me Fia(Fe-a) ."He winked at me. I fought back the urge to insult him, but there was no reason. He didn't say anything stupid, and nice smiles are my weaknesses.
"I'm sure you remember me, don't you?" River said in an amused tone. "How could I forget you, you're so special." I said sarcastically. "Oh so she's sarcastic. She's a keeper." River exclaimed in Pryer's direction and he just rolled his eyes.
"She is really cute, if you don't take her I will. I mean look at how small and cute she is. She even has freckles she is definitely my type." Another boy said. He was sitting next to Voya who was still silently freaking out. He had super dark brown eyes and straight brown short and messy hair. Every few minutes he'd run his hand through his hair to keep it out of his face.
"How nice of you, but no thanks." I said as I turned my attention to Voya. He was leaning towards her to get her attention, but had no idea that his body was pressing against Voya's. "I'm Noah by the way. It's an honor to meet Pryer's next victim."
Pryer's next victim?
"I'm Leo, and don't mind these idiots they just want to get in your pants." He smiled at me warmly, he had short curly brown hair that was similar to Pryer's. His eyes were almost exactly the same color. "I'm kidding, I want to get into her shirt first." River said." See? I'm harmless."
"I'm Voyanne, but you can call me Voya." Voya said shyly as Noah finally realized that he was pressed against her and immediately moved away.
"She's cute too." Noah as he stared directly at Voya. This whole time she did not look at anyone directly in the eyes. I noticed that Voya's ears began to turn bright red and she stared taping her foot out of nervousness.
"Can you not hit on every girl you see?" River said shaking his head, like he wasn't just doing the exact same thing. "Don't act like you haven't done the same thing. You were hitting on Devanie earlier." Noah complained like a little kid.
"That's because I'm so much cuter than you. "River said as he winked at Noah which only made his ears red and his emotions angrier. "Now you guys are flirting with each other."Fia said as he rolled his eyes. "Anyway, Devie--"
"Devanie." I corrected Pryer. If anything needs to be set straight its that we are not on a nickname basis.
"Anyway, Devie. The boys and I have a boxing tournament tonight and your going to be there as my special guest. I already bought your ticket so you can't turn me down."Pryer said as he smiled at me. "What if I don't show up?"
"There is no way that you won't. My attentions all on you now Devie, don't forget that."
Fia, Noah, Leo, and River awed in amazement as Pryer shut me down with his words. "Babe, I missed you." A girl with super long blonde hair with bright red lip stick came to our table and sat herself right on Pryer's lap. Note that Pryer was still sitting right next to me.
"Is this the one after my spot?" She asked as she eyed me up and down. She was wearing a short black denim pencil skirt with a red rube tube top. She wore big gold earrings and she had fishnet stockings under her skirt.
"How low did your standards drop?" She said as she kissed his neck and cheek and he didn't resist her actions at all. "You look confused. Did you think you were the only one?" He asked amused and his friends and including the girl laughed with him. He was enjoying every bit of this.
"This is the lovely Aurora. Aurora meet Devanie, Devanie meet Aurora."
I stared at Pryer. Who does he think he is?
"Is she your girlfriend?"
"No she's not my girlfriend! Devie, you should know by now that I don't do girlfriends. I'm sure your friend Voya has updated you with that. I mean she has been following me around for the past three years. "He said in an annoyed tone while looking at Voya.
I tried my best to keep my composure and not kick him in the balls. "So what exactly is she?" I almost cringed at my question, what was happening right now? How'd I get myself into this?
"She's my side chick, the longest one I've had actually. Her body is just too perfect to pass up."Pryer said as his hands were firmly placed on Aurora's waist.
Side chick?
I have never been more confused in my entire life.
"Anyway I hope you can make it tonight, see you soon Devie. Let's go." All five of them including Aurora left the table and I immediately turned to Voya who was staring at her plate of food.
"Are you okay Voya?" I touched her shoulder in an attempt to comfort her. "I guess he's right. I know a little to much about them don't I?" Voya had this sadness in her voice that did not match her sunny appearance at all, just looking at her you could tell she was a happy person. "We've only met each other today there already all over you. It took me 3 years. I can already tell how confident and brave you are. "She looked up from the table and smiled at me.
"Then that just means that they're blind and they have no business or no right to say anything about you. Boys will be boys. Remember that."
"Brave as always. I know you weren't originally planning to, but let's go to their boxing tournament tonight. It'll be fun, besides there'll be going against there rivals tonight. It'll be quite the show." She says evilly.
"Bare chest's, abs, and pure sweat. All the things girls love." She said dreamily and I rolled my eyes, should I still be qualified as a girl? Although sweat can seem hot it's still sweat. It's still gross--but that's not what Voya's worried about.
I guess I'm going to a boxing tournament.
