Crystal Academy.
Friday
Music class.
Areum's eyes were glued to her phone as she scrolled through her twitter. Suddenly, she felt someone sit beside her.
She blinked, looking up only for her eyes to meet with a pair of grey ones. The person smiled, "Hi, beautiful."
Areum smiled, "Hello, Kanye."
He pouted a bit, "It should be, 'hello, handsome.'"
Areum rolled her eyes, "Your parents named you Kanye."
He pursed his reddish lips, "You're hurting my poor heart." Areum giggled."I'm feeling fulfilled. "
He made a sad face, patting his chest comfortingly," It's okay heart. Don't be sad, she likes us anyways. "
Areum chuckled at him. He smiled at her.
Just then, they heard," Hey you! "
Areum wanted to ignore it, but the voice came again, even saucier" Are you deaf or what? "
Areum glared up at the speaker," I don't know about you, Serafina, but i can hear very perfectly. Thanks for asking."
Their classmates placed their full attention on the duo. Areum never replies Serafina. Wow. It's gonna be hot.
Serafina scoffed, her painted red lips in a disgusting smirk, "It's good to check on fools once in a while."
Areum smiled sarcastically, "Then you should start checking on yourself."
Someone whistled as Serafina's face turned red, "Excuse me?"
Kanye frowned, "I don't think this is her fault. You walked up to her and started it."
Serafina's face softened a bit as she spoke to Kanye, "But Kanye! She just called me a fool!" She pouted and Areum cringed before replying, " Even God knows i didn't point at you while talking."
Serafina glared hard at Areum, taking a step forward. Everyone anticipated the next thing but then...
" Settle down, students!!! "Mr Blooms walked into the class and everyone scrambled to their seats, excluding Serafina, who stood there, glaring at Areum with hatred.
Mr Blooms frowned at Serafina." Miss Lopez. Please go and have your seat. I was talking to all students and i am very sure you... "
"... That's enough! " Serafina spat rudely before walking to her seat.
Everyone murmured. She believes she owns the world just because she's the principal's niece. No teacher can punish her no matter how badly she behaves.
Classes started.
As others learned, Serafina was glaring at Areum and Kanye, who sat side by side, learning and laughing.
She hates that! Kanye belongs to her and she'll make sure to have him. But first, she needs to deal with Areum.
⭐⭐Lunch ⭐⭐
Arizona sat in the class, reading a book. He was working on his literature project but soon got tired, so he decided to leave that and continue reading the robotics book he was reading the previous day.
His mind then flashed to Areum: Her excited face whenever she's talking to him, her cute, unfading smile whenever she's around him, that bright grin she gives him whenever their eyes meet or anytime she sees him around the school or in class.
It makes him more awkward around her. Anytime he sees her beautiful face, all he wants to do is stare and stare. But then he doesn't... Yes. That would be creepy, number one and two, She might not even like it...but the way she stares at him sometimes, makes his heart skip. Gosh...
"... rizona! Arizona!" He suddenly heard, feeling soft taps on his shoulder.
He looked up to see... , "Ella! You're back!" He beamed.
Luella grinned, taking a seat beside him, "Missed me?"
He smiled at her,"I guess so. "
" Aw. I missed you too. "She grinned at him. He smiled," How was Mexico ? How is your mom? Is she okay now? "
Luella nodded, looking down at her feet," She's better.I came back yesterday. I wanted to come over to your place this morning but i decided to surprise you.. So.. Ta-da!" She smiled at him.
Arizona smiled. Luella is his friend... Obviously. She is the only one he talks to in the whole school... Now excluding Areum. They became classmates last year and she took an interest in him. So, they're usually together in the school. They come to school together infact.
"So, tell me, how has school been without me?" She knows Arizona is a shy, unsocial guy so he's probably gonna say nothing so juicy.
Arizona smiled, "Not bad. I uh... I made a new friend." and Areum's beautiful smile flashed into his head.
Luella gasped in surprise, her brown eyes widening, "It's a lie!" She whispered dramatically.
Arizona chuckled, "No. It's not. I actually did."
Luella smiled excitedly, "Who is he? How did you two meet... Wait, i bet he talked to you first."
Arizona smiled, staring down at his book, "She's a girl though."
Like magic, the smile on Ella's face vanished . She frowned, "A girl?" That's impossible. Arizona doesn't even look at girls sides.
"Yea. Areum Kyung." Arizona replied and Ella's pretty face turned sour. Areum! That popular singer... One of those high school big girls she hates.
"But how? Did she bully you or what?" Ella asked, her voice not so cool.
Arizona looked at her and she quickly used a smile to cover up her initial annoyance.
"Areum doesn't bully. Besides, we had a project together, that's why." He said, noticing Ella didn't seem to like the fact he's friends with Areum. Why?
Luella quickly discards the topic, "I've heard you, Arizona. Let's leave that. Anyways, i was hoping we could go and have ice-cream after school, maybe in the evening." She grinned happily.
Arizona frowned a bit, remembering, "I have to meet up with Areum by then." He said.
Luella frowned, "Meet up for what?"
Arizona raised a brow, "What else?"
Ella sighed in annoyance, "Tomorrow then."
Arizona pursed his pink lips, "We're going to the library."
Ella wanted to groan but she suppressed it, clenching her right fist instead, "Okay."
Arizona stared at her apologetically, "I hope you don't mind. It's for our project.Don't be annoyed."
Luella forced a smile, her hands clenching tighter as she stood up, "I am not annoyed, Arizona. It's okay. Your project must be important. We'll see later then." and before he could even say anything else, Luella stormed out of the classroom.
Arizona sighed. She could have just waited to hear what he wanted to say next. It's okay, he'll call her later.
The bell indicating the end of lunch went off and soon the students began to trope into the class.
Noone seemed to acknowledge his presence and he absolutely loves it that way. He loves his peace ✌.
⭐⭐
Luella settled for her next class. It's English class and 'fortunately', Areum has the same class with her.
Luella watched in annoyance as Areum entered the class with her best friend, Riel, two other pretty girls following them.
She hates those big girls. They always feel they are the best and they feel they can have whatever they want anytime they please.
She sent Areum a murderous look.
'You won't take Arizona from me, bitch. '
