"Hello everyone. I'm... Ariel Spencer. Today's news story was supposed to be about cafeteria food. But, instead, I have something I need to say."
Heh. That's me talking. The "news" story I was talking about was school news. I don't know why I agreed to do it. I'm so shy. WAIT! I think I know why. probably because of Andrew Sani. He's my crush. He has beautiful brunette hair, handsome brown eyes, and-. Wait, I'm rambling. Here's how I got myself caught up in this mess.
-3 weeks earlier-
"New school, new friends. Nothing could beat today!" I was wrong. As soon as I stepped in the school I knew I made a mistake. I was a 6th grader with a bunch of 8th graders. How was I going to survive!
The bell rang and i was still searching for my 1st period class. I was about to walk to the office when I saw a cute brunette boy walking towards me. I started to panic. Why was he walking towards me! When he got to me, he stopped and turned towards me. "Hi! My name is Andrew. I'll help if you're lost." I could smell his minty fresh breath. "Umm... I.. I'm l...l..looking for class 3-2." I responded. Great! First cute boy I meet and I blew it. Andrew grinned and led me to my class. "Let me know if you need help again," he said before walking out of the class. The usual school day went on. I saw Andrew a few times and he smiled at me. I gave a mixture of a smile and a constipated look back.
After school, I did see Andrew, but he was with some girl. Great, I said to myself, He has a girlfriend. He and the girl started walking towards me. "Hey! I didn't get your name before." Andrew said to me. "Oh... It.. It's Ariel." Great! I stuttered again! "Well, Ariel, this is my sister, Meghan." Meghan waved at me. I waved back. All of a sudden, everyone turned to look down the hall at some blonde chick. When she got to us, she hugged Andrew and looked at me. She gave me the evil eye. "Andrew, babe, who's this ugly girl talking to you." WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY! "I'll have you know I'm not ugly! Just because I'm not a stupid blonde doesn't mean I'm ugly! Andrew if these are the type of people you hang with, I can't be your friend." I stormed off. "ARIEL! WAIT" Andrew called behind me. I didn't wait.
The next day, I walked into the school. I was trying to avoid Andrew, his girlfriend, and his sister. I saw Andrew running towards me. "Just great," I whispered to myself. I started walking faster. "ARIEL!"He yelled. Now he's making a scene. I stopped. "What." I said, in an annoyed tone. "Listen, the way you acted yesterday wasn't cool but-" I cut him off. "Listen to me, I know it wasn't cool. I don't want to hear it. Tell your little girlfriend I said sorry and leave me alone." I walked off. Right then, I tried to convince myself I didn't like him anymore. I couldn't. I still liked him.
