~Adelina~

Beep, beep, beep

I groan, waking up to turn off my alarm I set the night before.  I stay in bed for another 5 minutes, going through socials and texting back my friends.

I only have two friends. I was never was a popular kid at school. People knew me, but never became friends with me. People talked to me if we were in the same class, but that's where it ended.

But I do have two actual friends. Reese and Sofia. My ride or dies.

I've known them since I was five. Since kindergarten. We became friends in an odd way, to say the least.

I was getting bullied by Sofia. Sofia kept on saying how I look ugly since I was standing in front of the bathroom mirror. She even decided to go a little bit further by saying, and I quote

"Mirrors don't lie, lucky for you, they don't laugh either" says Sofia.

Don't let the soft name of "Sofia" make you believe that she's not a badass.

Now Reese. She overheard everything Sofia said to me and decided to put her in her place, and I quote again

"Do you ever get exhausted by being and unholy unbearable. Like saying "the mirror don't lie" blah blah blah when's the last time you even looked at a mirror and thought you looked pretty...Never."

To say I was stunned beyond relief is the decade understatement.

But it didn't end there. They got into a physical fight. Yea. A. Physical. Fight.

The teacher had to separate them and they both got a week of detention.

When they came back to school a week later, they apologized to each other and me surprisingly. After that we just...became friends, and never stopped being friends.

I go to my bathroom to get ready for the six hour school day. I brush my teeth, floss, brush my hair, and apply some light makeup. My makeup is very simple, some concealer, blush, eyebrows and mascara.  Nothing too crazy since I don't know how to do makeup.

After finishing my bathroom routine, I head to my closet and pick out an outfit. Today was some mom jeans, a black crop top, my Nike Blazers and some jewelry.

Then suddenly I remember that papa drank last night, which means he's either asleep or going to hurt me.

I grab my book bag and unlock my door, and listen for any noise that will come from papa moving around.

I hear nothing.

Good. That's good.

I tiptoe down the stairs,  and of course. on the second last step it squeaks.

I freeze. Waiting for papa to make noise.

Nothing.

Thank the lord.

I finish ascending down the staircase and tiptoe to the kitchen to make my routine coffee.

Fun fact, I have a venti Starbucks cup that I brought so it looks like I get Starbucks everyday. My friends think I'm crazy. But they just don't get it.

I make my vanilla iced latte with caramel drizzle on the cup and grab my book bag I left on the step and leave the house.

Immediately, I sigh of relief that something didn't happen this morning.

I walk to school since I live only 20 minutes away which is actually good since I get my steps in. I like walking, for the right reasons of course.

"BOO!" Reese yells in my ear which makes me jump.

"What the hell Reese, it's 8:20 am in the morning!" I say to her annoyed already.

"My gosh, what a nuisance you will be, can't even say that "hey best friend, I'm so lucky to see your amazing, beautiful face,that men will LOVE if they actually open there eyes." no none of that huh." Reese says in a mocking tone of my voice.

"Reese, men will notice you if you stop being a pick me." I say with a bored tone.

"Oh my god, How am I friends with a person who didn't know the definition of "pick me" before Sofia told them." Reese says offend

"Okay I was innocent, no need to being that up." I say laughing now.

"And your not innocent now" she says with a side eye

"I'm far from innocent Reese" I say with a straight face, and sharp tone.

Reese looks at me warily then decides to drop it when I give her a straight look.

I don't like talking about what happened in my past. It's not like talking it out is going to fix what happened. So I let it be in the past. That's where it belongs.

But that doesn't mean it doesn't hurts.

"Okay okay, let's head to class we have five minutes to get there, and we're eating lunch in the cafeteria." I saw while walking away, trying to divert the conversation

Reese hates eating at the cafeteria since it gets too crowded and she can get claustrophobic, but most of the time we sit at the back where not many people sit at.

After talking with Reese, I head to my first period class, science.

I hate and love science. It so annoying when the teacher explains horrible but so fascinating when you figure things out. I don't know, it give me mixed signals. Like men.

I go in and sit in my seat at the back of the class. There's so many open seats today and the teacher isn't even here.

That's weird.

I open my phone and pull out my my schedule.

Oh my gosh. Im I'm the wrong class. I have math right now not science.

I get up from my seat and run across the school to get to my math class. Im for sure going to get detention. That teacher, Mrs. Noris is the worst teacher you could have. She yells at anyone for no reason.

I get to my class and open the door. Immediately, the teacher looks furious that I'm late.

"Ms. Diaz! Why are you late to my class. How dare you get late!" She yells at me. In front of the whole class.

"Im so sorry Mrs. Noris, it won't happen again." I say talking fast.

"If this happens again, your not allowed back here again!" She yells.

I nod my head and go to the back of the class and sit down. I pull out my things and start writing notes down. When I finally get a chance to have a break at writing, I look around the room. I glance to my side and do a double take.

Zane.

Zane's In my classroom. He's sitting next to me. He's...he's sitting next to me.

And looking at me. No correction, staring at me.

He's wearing a black shirt that hugs his body in all the right places. With that he's wearing black pants. He has rings on his fingers, and a chain on his neck. His hair is fluffy and silky like last night. Gosh, he really his a Greek god-

We lock eyes for so long until I hear a bang on my table.

"Ms. Diaz. Are you listening or are you gawking at Mr. Anderson like you want to get in his pants." I'm stunned. Get in his pants. The heck. I was just staring at him. I mean, I would love to get in his-

"If she wants to get in my pants, I'll let her, but you, you Mrs. Noris, should not be speaking like that. Unless you wanna get into my pants of course. But then I would tell the administrators and you would get fired and probably won't be able to work again, so if you don't want that to happen, treat her Ms. Diaz with respect." He says with pure confidence and a smirk on his face.

My name. On his lips. Fuck. I never swear, but holy moly. It sounded so...sexy, so...perfect.

Mrs. Noris looks at me with a disgusted look at me and looks scared at Zane, and then walks back to the front without saying anything else.

I turn back to Zane and see he's already looking at me with a smirk on his face. He's so confident, he screams power. Greek power. 

"Everyone, we will go into groups of two, Adelina you will go with William. Zane you will go with Alyssa."

She did this on purpose. Alyssa. The popular high school...bitch. Mrs. Noris favours her out of everyone in the school, so it makes sense why she would put her with him.

Ugh. She has a stick so far up her ass, Mrs. Noris.

Without looking at Zane, I walk to my partner William. He looks nice. He has brown hair like me. A middle part hair style which actually looks good for once. A sculpted face, and a body of a model.

"I know I'm hot, but you can stop eye fucking me now." William says with a calm cause voice.

"Unless you want to fuck, then by all means keep going." He says with a smirk.

I look at him, stunned and staring. Than I burst into laughter.  I was just looking. I'm not going to do anything more than look.

"You wish you had someone to eye fuck you." I say with equal calmness in my voice

"Wow, you wound me." He laughs while holding his hand to his heart.

"Alright what are we supposed to do." I say trying to direct the conversation to math instead.

"I have no clue, but we have ten minutes till second period so i guess we can talk at lunch as to what we're supposed to do."  William says while trying to read me.

"Yea no, lunch is not going to work" I say

"And why the hell not" says William in a funny manner.

"Because I would much rather hangout with my friends than do math with you. No offence."

"No offence." No offence my ass, I took that offensive that you don't want to spend time with me. I mean, who wouldn't want to spend time with me, I have a pretty spectacular face to look at"He says the last part with a smirk.

"I don't want to" I say.

"Alright fine, I'll drop it, but let's talk you and Zaniee. OOOO I saw some staring, some looking up and down, checking him out" he says with a smirk on his face.

I wanna smack that smirk off his face.

"I was not looking at Zane, I was looking at his..." I don't know what to say. I was looking at him. But I can't say that

"Looking at what, his dick-" William says with a larger smirk

"No you idiot, his paper to see if he has the same answers at me, got you truly are annoying as hell." I say in one long, gays breath.

"Annoying huh, you won't think I'm annoying when where somewhere else" he says with a even larger smirk.

"God, you really need a friends with benefit type of friend from the lack of sexual frustration your in" I say this time, smirking.

With that, The bell rang so I left. I left William with a shocked face.

I like him. He's funny. Definitely going to be best buds with Reese. That is if he comes to lunch like he said.

I head to my second class and it was history. Nothing entertaining happened. Just looking at Canadian history. After the bell rang it was lunch.

I go and sit at our designated lunch table and wait for Sofia since she comes before Reese.

"Hey pretty lady" Sofia says to me

"Hello her majesty, do I have to bow to be able to talk to her majesty?" I joke around.

Sofia laughs so loud. Sofia is a princess. She has a princess Aesthetic, but not little kid princess, it's like cool kid princess.

It's super cool.

Sofias face turns into a interesting one. The one where you find someone who your attracted too. Yea that look

"Umm, Lina, there someone behind you" Sofia says with a wary tone.

"Hello Ms. Lina, wanna work on that math, or do you wanna eye fuck me like you were before."

Great. Lunch is going to suck.
