#Chapter3
-New Beginnings-02
I thought we were friends, dude.
I slowly turn to face her and give her the best smile that I can muster up.
/"Please, go away/" I request
/"Not a chance/" she says thoroughly amused by my reaction
/"Princess?/" Bailey asks with a suggestive tone as Faith wiggles her eyebrows suggestively
/"Nothings going on between her and I/" I say with wide eyes
I don't need anything being said about her and I's 'relationship'.
Her and I don't even like each other.
Plus we don't even know each other's name.
/"Wow, princess, so us being lab partners means nothing to you?/" She questions with fake sadness as she places a hand over her heart
/"Nothing at all/" I say emotionlessly
I glare at her as if silently telling her to go away but she just continues to stare at with obvious amusement.
/"Would you like to join us?/" Faith asks as she motions towards the seat beside me that's currently holding my backpack
Really, Faith?!
/"I don't know, I wouldn't want to intrude/" she says
Please don't intrude.
/"No, please intrude/" Bailey encourages
What is wrong with these two?!
/"Okay, if you insist/" she says as she grabs my backpack and sits down before gently placing it in her lap
/"You two are dead to me/" I mutter to both Bailey and Faith but they don't hear me as they continue to stare at the new girl
I seriously need to get her name.
Wait, no I don't because that'll make it seem like I care.
And I don't care.
Right?!
/"If you don't mind me asking, what's your name?/" Bailey asks her
/"My name is Aurelia/" she says with a bright smile
Aurelia Kingsbury.
Her name sounds so expensive.
But I can't deny how beautiful it sounds.
/"Thank you, princess/" she replies to me with a small smirk
Oh god.
She heard that.
I can't believe I said that.
I feel my cheeks quickly become warm as I awkwardly look down at my intertwined hands.
/"Ex-Excuse me/" I say quietly as I slide out of the booth and quickly make my way towards the door
I don't know where I'm going.
I just know that I need to get out of here.
I aimlessly wander the hallway until I'm stopped by my ex-boyfriend.
Who shall remain nameless.
/"Wow, so you're stalking me now?/" He questions with a tone of disbelief and slight amusement
I roll my eyes at him as I cross my arms.
/"Leave me alone/" I say as I go to walk around him only to have him block my path
/"You just can't get enough of me, huh?/" He questions with amusement as his eyes rake my body up and down
/"Sorry, babe, I'm with your best friend now,/" he says with a shrug
/"Oops I mean ex-best friend/" he says with fake sadness
/"Move/" is all I say as I go to step around him only for him to block my way, again.
/"Why, are you trying to run away from your problems again?/" He questions
He's one to talk.
/"I'll tell you one more time, get out of my way/" I say as I bump past him only for him to roughly grab my upper arm and yank me back so that I'm standing in front of him
/"You can't run away from this, Hanna/" he says with an evil smirk
I start to worry a little as his grip on my arm never falters.
I reach my free hand up to pry his hand off of my upper arm only to fail.
Instead he tightens his grip around my arm and uses his other hand to violently yank my hand away from previous one.
Ouch.
I start to feel a throbbing in my arm as well as my wrist.
/"Let go of me/" I say as I yank to try and get out of his grip
His eyes continue to roam my body sinisterly as if he's planning on doing something bad to me.
/"No, I think we still have some unsolved business/" he says lowly
/"Get off of me/" I say
/"She said to get off of her/" the familiar voice says
It happened so quickly that if you blinked you might've missed it.
Aurelia's fist connected with my ex-boyfriends nose so hard that it threw him off his balance.
He takes a few steps back and reaches up to grab his nose.
/"What was that for?/" He yells out with a tone of frustration
/"Stay away from her/" Aurelia demands with a hard tone
I turn to face her only for my breath to get caught in my throat.
She looks so powerful.
Her black hair isn't in a ponytail anymore but instead lazily parted to the side as it flows around her face and down her shoulders.
Her grey eyes are a smokey grey, as if she's trying to calm a fire inside of her.
Her facial features are hard as she stands there watching my idiot of an ex try to stop his bloody nose, incorrectly might I add.
I think she broke his nose.
/"You'll pay for this, Kingsbury/" he says with a glare before throwing me a disgusted look and stomping off
Aurelia quickly turns to face me but continues to remain emotionless as she examines me for any injuries.
/"How is your wrist?/" She asks after she's done examining my arm
I move my wrist back and forth only feeling a dull pain.
/"It's fine,/" I reply
She nods her head.
/"Thank you for helping me/" I say
She deserves it.
Without her who knows what would've happened to me.
/"You're welcome, princess/" she replies with a slight smirk
/"Really, we're back to this?!/" I question her
/"Fine, what's your name?/" She asks genuinely
I raise an eyebrow at her.
I feel like this is a trick.
/"What?/" She asks
/"Is this a trick?/" I ask her with no hesitation
/"Really, what trick could I possibly pull right now?/" She asks she with crossed arms
I guess she's right.
/"My name is Hanna/" I decide to tell her as I give in
/"Hanna Wilder/" she says my name which causes my body to feel tingly all over
Whoa.
What was that?
I stand up straighter to try and hide this feeling.
My ex-boyfriend never made me feel like that.
/"Pretty name/" she says as she tucks a strand of her black hair behind her ear
Her eyes never stray away from mine as she does so.
This girl is dangerous.
I've never met anyone like her.
Much less seen.
I need to get out of here.
/"Thank you for your help, but I have to go/" I say as I make my way towards the double doors
/"Hanna/" she calls out to me
/"Yeah?/" I ask her as I turn back around to face her
/"You forgot your backpack/" she says as she slips my backpack off her back and holds it out for me to grab
I blush with embarrassment as I awkwardly make my way towards her and grab my bag.
Our fingers gently graze against each other which makes my breath hitch.
That's so weird.
My hand begins to feel tingly and my knees start to feel weak.
/"Thanks/" I say as I grab the bag and place it over my shoulder before making my way towards to double doors.
So many things happens today.
My ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend started dating.
A new girl came to our school.
Bailey and Faith were practically bowing down at the girl's feet.
My ex-boyfriend almost tried something with me.
And finally the new girl and I may be on the road to acquaintances.
I think I need a nap.
