Almost everyone were excited about the newbies party. Everyone except June.
The girls had one issue.
Dress.
Why, they must look good to attract the ROCK band. Of course, the ROCK band members didn't care less to how they looked. It's all part of teens drama.
" Alessie, I'd finally get to show you my house "
Aria said smiling at Alessie. Alessie nodded.
" Where do you live? "
She asked already budgeting her expenses. So much for just a newbies party.
" Oh me, I live in the middle of Douglas "
Aria said taking a look at June's book.
" Really? "
Alessie asked unable to believe it.
Hell, only Rich people live there. Just who are Aria's parents?
" Where're Douglas? "
June suddenly asked trying to get her mind off the party.
" Common June, everyone knows Douglas "
Aria said carelessly. June adjusted her glasses.
" Everyone except me "
" June she didn't mean... "
Alessie chiped in to cover up for Aria
" I know. Just me asking though
"
June said collecting her book from Aria
" Hiyah ladies "
A boy greeted walking towards them
" Oh, Steve "
Aria said smiling at him. Alessie took a good look at him.
He looked familiar though.
" Oh, I'm Steve in case you don't know "
Steve said extending his hand. Alessie gave him a small smile.
" Steve you say "
" Yup. I knew you didn't know me. "
Steve said laughing sheepshisly. June frowned
" And who are you? Old Mac' Donald? "
" June! "
Aria called angrily. Alessie couldn't help but laugh. June was getting fiesty each day.
" I'm sorry. I mean no harm "
Steve said explaining himself.
" June, you were really harsh "
Aria said nodding. June just rolled her eyes
" Anyways, I'm your classmate in case you don't know "
Steve said hands in his pocket
" We can't know you all. Remember, we're still tagged newbies "
Alessie said bringing out an apple and taking a bite.
" Oh, that's why "
" So what's up? "
Aria asked Steve trying to start a conversation.
" Nothing. Just trying to woo someone "
He said laughing again.
"you must laugh a lot don't you "
June said annoyed with the fact that he was forcing a conversation and Aria was helping him.
" June,.why're you such a granny "
Aria said teasingly. Alessie frowned.
" Aria "
" I know, I know "
She said and kept shut. Steve scratched the back of his head looking nervous.
" Um June, can yo... You go out with me? "
He asked suddenly spitting out the words he had forced himself to say. Both June and Alessie were shocked.
" You can't be serious "
Aria didn't look shocked. It turns out that she cooked up the plan.
" I'm really serious June. We can take it just a little..... Or just for one day. "
" Not going to happen "
June said standing up.
" Wait... "
Steve called holding her hand. Alessie held him back.
" Let her go Steve "
" But Alessie.... "
Aria protested.
" Stay out of this Aria "
Alessie said glaring at her. June had walked out of the class and Alessie didn't follow her.
" Alessie, I..... "
" Look Steve. You've got a real bad pick up line. You've gotta change that "
Aria said trying to get him to leave.
" Alessie, help me talk to her "
He said looking at her. Alessie sighed.
" Oh boy, I've got nothing on this one "
She said and left the classroom still
Aria gave Steve a small smile.
" I'll get her to come around "
She promised. Steve nodded
" Thanks Aria "
Alessie went straight to the cafeteria.
" June must be pretty shocked. Who'd have thought that Steve had been.... "
She stopped walking as she saw Lawrence headed towards her. He was with Lee this time.
" Hi "
Lee greeted. Alessie turned to him surprised.
" Oh hi "
She said watching him walk away. Did Lee just notice her? Wait a minute. It might be Lawrence trying to tease her again.
" Alessie "
Shadra called.
" Coming from Teacher Ethan's? "
" Yup. You should go now "
" Oh I'm going. What did he give you? "
Alessie asked curious. Shadra shrugged
" I didn't see it. I just threw it in my bag "
She said. Alessie pouted.
" Now I'm even curious "
" By the way, I saw June pass by. She looked.... angry. Is anything wrong? "
Shadra asked worriedly. Alessie nodded.
" Nothing. Just some boy issue "
She said not wanting to explain further and Shadra understood. Unlike Aria.
" Oh. She seemed pretty upset though. "
" I know. See you in class "
Alessie said sighing. Such an eventful day.
Teacher Ethan's office was a little bit close to the library. Alessie still had some projects to finish.
" Teacher Ethan "
She called knocking softly.
" Come in "
He said from inside. Alessie gulped.
" Oh "
Alessie said as she entered. His office was big. It was also colourless. Maybe she would help him decorate it sometime.
" You came for the prize right "
He said but Alessie didn't reply.
" Here you go "
He said giving her diary. It was really beautiful.
" Um, a diary? "
She said asking herself. Now that's what you get for being over excited.
" Not what you expected? "
He asked studying her expression
Alessie nodded
" No, not that. Thank you Teacher Ethan "
She said standing up.
Wow, a diary. As her prize. Well she wasn't angry. It was just so unexpected.
She entered the class and found June seated looking better.
" That was fast "
" Alessie "
June called smiling. Now, Alessie was getting scared. Wasn't she angry a while ago?
" June, are you alright? "
" More than ever. Teacher Ethan gave me a ten dollar bill. "
She said excitedly. Alessie frowned
" Wow "
" You? "
June asked seeing the dairy. Alessie sighed.
"He gave me this."
She said showing her the dairy.
" Wait isn't that a.... "
