"We have to end this, once and for all, " I could hear Mae's voice somewhere in the distance.
     
"Hmm" I wasn't ready to look up from my important task.

"Ariaaaaaaaaaa," Mae dragged out my name in a way she knew annoyed me.

"Hmm" But it was of no use. I was too focused on my task.

"I'm never doing a project with you in the future," Mae huffed angrily.

 "Hmm" Her anger wasn't going to distract me from my task. My task of doodling.

"I have to tell you something. Your brother is pregnant."
    
"Hm- wait, what? Why didn't he tell me? I mean how could he do this to me, I- oh. Oh, " I narrowed my eyes at a now hysterically laughing Mae. "Haha. Very funny, " I rolled my eyes.

"For someone who's known for being smart you sure are dumb sometimes, " the bitch said, gasping for breath. I patiently waited for her to calm down from her laughing fest.
   
"Okay, let's finish this project. We might be the biggest procrastinators on this planet. Becca assigned this almost a month ago and we decided to do it two days before the last submission date, " Mae said calling our beloved chemistry teacher, Mr Bacca, by his nickname.

"Why are you even worrying? A person whose Patronus is an owl is your project partner, " I smirked earning a snort from Mae.

"Puh-leasee! Your Patronus is a sloth, " she said earning a dark look from me.

"Anyways, do you wanna go to the cafe after school today?" Mae asked now satisfied with the way she had written the title of our project.

I almost screamed out a 'hell yeah', at which, the entire class turned to stare at us. Ms Diaz just smiled a little and shook her head at me. You see, I was known for being a little loud. Okay fine, a lot loud.
 
We were currently sitting in our English class with free time on our hands since Ms.Diaz didn't want to teach because she -and I quote- "was mourning the death of her non-existent fish." Though she revealed that she was just being lazy and devised the above story to feel better about herself. See? Cool teacher!
   
After smiling sheepishly at the class, we continued with our chemistry project.

"I want your soul, " I said with a creepy smile.
 
Rhea looked at me with a weirded out look. "When I asked, 'what do you want?' I meant what do you want to eat or drink! Oh my God, you're so crazy!"

I just smirked and shrugged at her, "You knew what you were getting yourself in when you agreed to be friends with me".

She just sighed and muttered something under her breath that suspiciously sounded like 'should've known better'.
 
I just smiled at her cheekily. Rhea Taylor, the grey-eyed blonde was basically the 'Queen Bee' of our school and apart from that also a very close friend of mine. Well, ours, since she was Mae's good friend, too. But she was a good person. She never bullied anyone and actually stood up for people who were bullied.
       
We were currently in the infamous cafe of Paradise city, Mad Batter. The cafe was totally amazing if a little expensive. But, they had the most amazing desserts ever. We were sitting near the window of the cafe which offered an amazing view of the city when the doorbell rang signalling someone's arrival. I looked up and it was them. The bad boys of Paradise High.
      
They walked in like they owned the place, which they probably had enough money to. Oh, well.
       
I switched back into our conversation to see that Mason Thorne, the cute nerd of our school with his golden hair and black eyes and glasses was arguing quietly about the Oreo milkshake with Rhea (who was not so quiet).                       
      
"No, the Oreo milkshake is not better than the Nutella milkshake", he was saying.
         
"I completely agree, " I nodded looking at Mae, silently urging her to agree with us.                                   

"Are you done? I really want to get my cheesecake and if they are out of it because you guys decided to have a full-blown argument on which milkshake is better, I swear to everything that is fucking holy that I will murder you all in cold blood, " Mae growled with a murderous expression on her face. And so, I  decided to take the matter in my hands and got up, walking towards the counter to place our orders, since I knew everyone would end up getting what they usually ordered.
   
"Hey, Aria!"

I turned around to look at Ethan who was waving hyper-energetically at me. Everyone at his table was sitting with a nonchalant expression as if they were used to their friend embarrassing them all the time.   Me, being the weirdo I am, waved back at him with just as much energy. They were sitting at the table near the counter. I almost turned in their direction when it happened.

The loud explosion. And then came in the two men with guns wearing masks. Everyone started panicking and running about, except, of course, me! I decided to stand in my place like an idiot, which, of course, did not work out in my favour, since one of the two guys, who had a sheep-mask, came in from behind me and held the gun to my head.

Well, shit!

Hello, teddy bears!
This update was very late since I, well, I procrastinated! But, I promise to procrastinate as little as possible in the future (I think I heard my sister snort).
