I'll soon be taking down the original story if this one works out better. I've found I've grown a lot as a writer. I'm not saying I'm amazing, probably far from it, but please give this one a chance, and be patient with me as I change the story a bit. My goal with this is just to make it a better story over all so be honest in your reviews please. Thanks! Love you!
Alek P.O.V
"Alek are you listening to me?" Jasmine asks snapping her fingers in front of my face.
"Oh, sorry." I respond too occupied with studying a group of rowdy kids that came today. I turn to Jas with a questioning look. She turns away from me looking at the crowd of kids.
"I guess they came to check out the school or something, some new program they're doing to help the kids transition into high school I think… You seem pretty interested in a couple of them, any reason why?" I shake my head, studying two members of the ever growing mob in particular.
The first was a guy, maybe 14 or 15. He winks at the other one I was studying who happened to be a girl. She upon seeing this rolls her eyes turning to another girl carrying on their conversation. I see and hear him chuckle before he gets his phone out and starts shuffling over the keyboard.
Chloe P.O.V
As I'm walking towards my locker Alek catches my eye, he looks like he's examining the crowd of kids in front of him, probably deciding who'll be his apprentice for the next year. After searching a bit I find Aleks new subject of entertainment. I instantly understand why he'd choose him when I see him wink at someone I can't really see from here. Surrounding him are a ton of girls, who I'm guessing think they're discreetly fawning over him, but to me and I'm pretty sure anyone who isn't blind, I can practically see the thirst floating in the air. I even notice a few enviously throw daggers at the mystery girl, well who I'm guessing is a girl, after the boy winked at her.
"She's right next to your locker you should go talk to her, she, from what I've seen, semms a lot like you." Jasmine announces behind me in my ear causing me to practically jump out of my skin. I blush bright red as I turn around, but before I can scold her she's gone. I brush off the mini heart attack and begin to make my way to my locker again.
It turns out the only place that isn't completely crowded is a small area around my locker along with the few around it. I smile as I see two girls chatting, the fact that they're trying to avoid the crowd reminds me of Amy and I. As I approach I notice the girl with bright orange hair seems to shrink back behind the other girl when she notices me. Completely unlike anything Amy would do. The brunette turns around to me looking slightly confused and curious. I can tell she's trying not to roll her eyes at her friends behavior.
I smile as I stop in front of the two young girls, neither looking over 15. The dark haired girl with an olive skin tone returns a smile while gently jerking her friend forward. The ginger avoids my eyes causing the brunette to give her a look.
"Hey, I'm Chloe." I announce holding my hand out, hoping my award winning smile will win them over.
"Alona, nice to meet you." The dark haired girl responds. She nudges her friend. When she doesn't respond Alona lets out a small huff. "This is Elizabeth, she's a bit shy." Elizabeth timidly looks up at me offering a small wave. As I stand in front of the two I take the time to take in their looks. Alona seemed to have some exotic features and her hair fell just to her shoulders, she was actually really pretty, especially up close.
Elizabeth was very fair skinned and her cheeks were covered in freckles, but they only seemed to add to her beauty. Her bright hair hung all the way to the lower part of her back. I hear a buzz of a phone then see Alona reading, a message I'm guessing. She scoffs glaring at the boy I was formerly examining. He smirks as she returns to her phone quickly typing a response. Their behavior reminds me a lot of how Alek and I are.
"So, boyfriend?" I ask her nodding my head in his direction. Elizabeth stifles a laugh as Alonas jaw drops.
"NO! Not in a million years!" She says with a bright red blush gracing her face. Her friend starts teasingly poking her in her side. I hear a small growl come from her and her friend retreats with a small smirk still playing on her cheeks. She steps closer to me holding her hand up as if she was about to tell me a secret.
"It's only a matter of time." She loudly whispers, followed by a grimace as Alona pinches her sporting a stern face. I chuckle at the two.
"So what is going on then?" I ask.
"Nothing! Nothing at all. I would never date him nor do I want to. I think I'll pass on being a member of the 'Worship John Biggs!' club that consist of girls following him around like a bunch of brain dead zombies that have the false hope that one day he'll confess his undying love for them. No thanks, I like being an individual too much." She responds annoyance laced in her voice. Her phone buzzes again. I see her throw a cold glare at the boy, who I assume is the John Biggs she mentioned. He was grinning like the Cheshire cat as if he could hear the whole conversation.
"So why does he have your number then?" At that Alona turns glaring at her timid friend who is now sporting a sheepish smile.
"Someone is so horrible under pressure that, within five seconds of being trapped between her locker and mister big head over there, gave my number away without him even having to ask."
"What?! He can be very convincing when he wants to!" She defensively replies. I laugh seeing them practically reenacting a conversation similar to the ones Amy and I have sometimes. I excuse myself as Alona gets another text.
Alek's P.O.V
I approach the boy assuming now was as good a time as any to introduce myself. On my walk over I'm joined by a few of my 'friends'. I try not to roll my eye as they all begin giving me hard slaps on the back. They're decent guys, but they're kinda annoying. It's like I can't just walk somewhere without them somehow finding me. I brush off the annoyance as I introduce myself to the boy. Within the next few minutes I found out his name is John Biggs, he is constantly followed around by guys who aren't really his friends, he's trying out for basketball and he is self-assumed as the most wanted guy from his school, which isn't really hard to believe if you watch how all the girls of the huge bunch watch pretty much his every move…
Well most of the girls, there were two over in the corner not paying him any attention, well much attention, I notice that every time John sent a message he would get a strange look from one of the girls while the other merely observed. I catch the gingers eyes and I can feel her immediate discomfort. I smirk at her reaction then wink, she blushes and looks away. I turn my attention to the other girl and soon catch her eyes too. I give her the same look I gave her friend, but she isn't amused, she lifts an eyebrow at me slightly shaking her head obviously not seeming to be affected by my behavior. She rolls her eyes and turns her attention back to her friend. I feel extremely confused, even Chloe can't just look right through my flirty behavior and brush it off like it was nothing.
"She's a tough one." John states patting me on my shoulder. I wasn't even trying to 'flirt' flirt, I just wanted a reaction like I usually get. I mean she can't be older than fifteen anyways.
"Yeah well I already have one of those so she's all yours." I mutter.
"Yeah I wish." I hear him mumble under his breath. Over the school speakers an announcement that all classes were cancelled due to the amount of people at the school blares loudly. A few cheers come from around the school. I decide to give John a tour of the school.
John P.O.V
How do you like the new school? I hope we get lockers next to each other! We can be best buds! I bet you would love that wouldn't you? I text Alona with a smirk.
If I had to spend even a week with my locker next to yours I would have to exchange schools. She responds.
Ha. You'd come back because you'd miss me too much… Making friends are we? I catch Alonas eyes when she looks up and wiggle my eye brows, she rolls her eyes.
Whatever, and yes. I'm not a complete loser you know?She replies with pursed lips.
Never said you were. I respond looking up at her with a questioning look. She gives me a deadpanned look before typing away at her keyboard again.
We all know you were thinking it. Everyone's been thinking it since the first day of middle school. She doesn't look at me this time, but I notice she looks slightly upset.
No one thinks that. Why would you say that? She reads the texts but doesn't respond, and she's avoiding my eyes.
Respond. She ignores this text too.
We both know what I'll do if you don't respond. And with this text she looks at me. I look at her with my 'try me' face. She huffs before clicking away at her phone again.
Don't be vain John.
?
I'm the girl with only one friend… I'm pretty sure that qualifies as a loser to people like you.I'm slightly hurt by this response, I thought she considered me as a friend. Before I can respond she messages again.
Please just drop it. This time when I look up, she's already looking at me with slightly pleading eyes.
Fine. I still feel upset by what she said, but we'll just talk about that later. Upon hearing the word boyfriend come from the other girls mouth and watching her nod towards me I see Alonas face soon begin to resemble a tomato. I smirk. I hear her protest as I text a message.
It's only a matter of time. This message only adds to her blushing. She shoots quick daggers at me, I just smile. I see Elizabeth step toward the mystery girl and hear her say something mirroring what I just sent. I knew I liked that girl for some reason.
She knows what she's talking about. ;-) Alona reads the message then pinches her best friend, before saying something about a club dedicated to me, zombies and undying love.
Come give me a kiss babe. ;-) She sends an icy glare at me this time as her new friend leaves. I'll probably have to pay for this in some way later, but it's kind of worth it.
