ARCHER'S POV

School resumes again as usual with the madness vibe taking it's course among students with heart felt joy about meeting up with friends after such long periods. Well, me, I'll say I have just a very friendly bestie. The only one who has been there for me through thick and thin. We've got no reason to be involved in the crazy vibe cos we meet virtually almost everyday. And speaking of she. There she comes now.

Ruby Quinn. My one and only best friend who really sees me for who I am and not for what I've got. It seems that's how fellows and ladies were measured in Lake lullaby High School. I smiled as she walked over to me wrapping me up in a warm friendly hug all smiles.

"Sup Ruby."

"Hello. Look who got cuter and hot during the holidays." She said winking at me. I scoffed. There she goes again. She had this routine of saying sweet things to me just to make me forget about what others thought about me. I decided to play along not to hurt her feelings. I beamed at her.

Although, my mind was made up this term. This was our final year and I really needed to achieve what it takes to get up into a good college to achieve my dream. Nothing was gonna stop me not even Hazel Gabriella. The beauty queen of Lake Lullaby High School whom I've fantasized about for ages till my heart bled. I sighed and smiled walking hand in hand with Ruby as she chatted me about her experience the previous day towards the classroom.

We stopped at the door of the classroom and admired the change that took place during our absence. The class was still empty and we walked in taking in the beautiful change before us.

"Waoh." Ruby commented.

"Beautiful isn't it?" I replied.

She nodded excessively and grinned rushing to pick a chair at the second, middle row.

"No no no Ruby. We made a deal. I'm picking our seats this time. So get up. Now. Quick."

She pleaded with me but I refused. She pouted her lips and blinked at me. That technique has always worked for her but not this time. I smirked and pretended like I was going to change my mind. Her face lit up with expectation.

"No. Now get up." I said and she feigned annoyance.

" Fine. Have your authority. Which chair are you picking?" She said and stood up.

I smirked and walked over to the chair she stood up from and sat down patting the chair beside me for her to sit. She frowned at me with a look that made me know she thinks I'm stupid.

"What's the difference? You could have just sat down to avoid the whole drama." She said and I laughed.

" Well well well. Isn't that the lovely famous couple, Archer and Ruby." We heard a voice say. We turned towards the door to see who it was and I frowned resting my face against my palms. My nightmare has finally surfaced.

"Come on. Not now." I muttered.

The famous green eyed cute bastard walked up to me extending his hand.

" Good to see you Archer. It's been a long holiday."
