"Arabella! Arabella GRACE! ARABELLA MIKAYLA GRACE !"
Arabella Mikayla Grace, a fifteen-going-on-to-sixteen year old, opened her eyes, showing them as a unique shade of purplish-gray, with aqua streaks showing when she smiled wide. Her dark brown hair, colored with platinum blonde, dark blonde, and brown highlights, covered her left eye fully. Her skin was slightly pale compared to normal, and her cheeks were always rosy. She glared at the girl in front of her. She had platinum blonde hair, dyed orange at the ends. It fell to just above her elbows. She had bangs, still with orange tips, that covered her eyes, though you could see them still. Her eyes were an electric blue. Her name was Maria Sara Levine.
"Maria! Maria LEVINE! MARIA SARA LEVINE !" Arabella mimicked, smirking. Maria rolled her eyes and put her hands on her hips.
"Very funny, Ms. Grace. You know, for someone with a name so holy, you kinda….aren't."
"Well, you're not a very good influence are you, Levine?"
"Hey," Maria raised her hands up in her defense, "you were the one who changed me. I used to be all innocent and nice, then you came along and just ruined my good girl image!"
"Aren't I just a devious little fallen angel?" Arabella asked herself jokingly, sighing.
"Yes you are," Maria said plainly, sitting down in the desk next to Arabella. They were currently at their private school, St. Christina Academy, an rich boarding school.
Arabella rubbed her eyes, trying to get the sleep out. "Mm, what time is it?"
Maria checked her invisible watch. "I think it's lunchtime, why?"
"Good. 'Cause I'm hungry. Let's go." Arabella stood up, Maria did the same. Together, they made their way over to the cafeteria.
It was big, that was for sure.
It had big, white circular tables, and around it was about twelve chairs around it. They were all different colors, some purple, some royal blue, some yellow, some lime green, some red, and yellow orange.
There was a big lineup on the east side of the cafeteria, where all the food was. The food was always top-notch at the school, so everyone bought their food there.
Maria groaned and stomped her foot in anger. "Dudette we are never gonna get there in time!" Arabella smiled a crooked smile and bit her lip.
"We don't have to wait."

"You are an evil little pain in the ass, you know that?" Maria smirked. Arabella smiled her crooked smile again. They had snuck out to the back garden, where another door for the kitchen was located,
"I know."
They entered the kitchen. They didn't even bother hiding themselves, since all the lunch ladies knew them so well.
"Hi girls," a young lunch lady smiled at the two girls. They waved and came over.
"Hey Lo. So, what're the yummies today?" Arabella asked the young lady. The girl rolled her eyes jokingly and pulled her hairnet off. Lola was one of Maria and Arabella's best friends. She went to the school too, but got in trouble so she had to work for the school to pay for the damages she caused. Lola's hair was long and brown, but she had tied it into a messy ponytail. She had sidebangs that covered partially covered her right eye. She had cerulean streaks in her hair. Her eyes were a topaz color.
"Macaroni and Cheese. But I heard that Jeremy was making some sushi over at Rox And Rolls." Maria's eyes sparkled.
"Ooh, sushi," she sighed dreamily. "I've been craving it recently. See ya later Lola! Come on, Arabella!" Lola waved as her best friends walked over to Rox And Rolls; well, Arabella getting dragged by Maria.
They reached Rox And Rolls.
"Hi Jeremy!" Maria yelled from the entrance. A boy looked up from his job at the sushi making counter.
"Hey guys," Jeremy smiled. He had short black hair and dark brown eyes. He was tall too. Maria scrambled over.
"Can I have some sushi? Please? Jeremy?" Jeremy laughed at Maria.
"Of course, Mar. I'd do anything for you," he joked, tapping his index finger on Maria's nose. He handed her a plate of California Rolls. Maria grinned at Jeremy and started to splurge on the rolls. Arabella smiled and raised an eyebrow at Jeremy. He sighed.
"The usual?"
Arabella nodded. "Tempura, Crab, and California Rolls and a Chicken Teriyaki Rice Box please." Jeremy nodded and got to work. Maria looked at her with wide eyes.
"Why so much?" Maria asked. Arabella shrugged her shoulders. "Well, can I have some of your Rolls then?" Arabella shook her head. "Damn."
In a few minutes, Arabella's Box was ready. Jeremy handed it over to her.
"No worries, Caterina said no charge," he laughed. Caterina was Jeremy's boss and another one of Arabella and Maria's good friends. Arabella waved at the petite girl standing behind Jeremy.
Though older by a year, Caterina was smaller than Arabella, who was 5"5. Maria was the same. Caterina had elbow-length cinnamon-colored hair, streaked with dark brown. She had big, dark golden eyes which always sparkled. She was a dancer.
"We should get going, we have to meet Char," Maria checked her invisible watch again, "…eight minutes ago." Arabella nodded. She grabbed her Box and together she and Maria walked out the door.
"They come and they go," Jeremy commented. Caterina giggled. Together, they watched the two girls' figures walk away.
