Ariana's POV:
I reach for the nearest bench and was slowly regaining my breath. I had just gotten in a fight with my cousin, Sam, and he can give a really hard punch. Sam and I never get along. He hates me and I feel the same way. But Markus adores him.
School was almost over, so that was good. For my break, everyone that hung around the school was watching the fight, because they didn't have anything better to do.
I picked up my school bag that was lying on the ground beside my feet, and walked into the school, carrying my books.
I didn't look up from the ground because Sam had given me a red mark across my arm and a not a black eye, but a pink one. But looking at the ground does have its loss, because I bumped into someone, I looked up. Of course, it had to be a jock! He was on the football team and the swim team. I probably had a weird look on my face because he started laughing. I unfroze and bent down to pick up the books that I was carrying. I bent down to and picked up his books.
"We gotta stop bumping into each other" he says. I know he's just trying to make me feel better. I smile a bit and nod.
"Ariana right?" he asks "I'm Ethan, Ethan Sunderman"
He puts his hand forward to shake. We shake hands.
"See you around?" he says.
"Sure" I reply. Then we quickly walk to class.
My phone beeped.

…line break….
After school I caught up with my friends.
"Hi guys" I say, probably a little to jumpy.
"oh hey, we're just talking jocks" Alyssa says " oh and so then, Nolan goes around and hits Frank and Frank hits Nolan back. Then they started a fight, and luckily I was out on the bleachers so I could watch. Privileges for being there I can actually tell you guys the real story, because gossiping isn't good if it isn't from your friends. Let me tell you guys, so hot!".
"The jocks are so so so hot!" Heather squeals.
"I know! I need some fresh meat or I might burst" Summer agrees.
"Hey guys, can I catch up with you later? I… think I left something at school"
I run up the stairs to the entrance. I yank the handle so hard it almost falls off, and keep running. My high heels click down the hall, it's so hard to run in high heels, that's why I brought flip flops in my bag. Makes me look shorter, but oh well. I change shoes and keep running. I come around the hall to my locker and open it with my locker combination, I slam the locker door open.
"Ow" I hear. I close the door to see Ethan there. He got slammed by my locker opening. I clamped my hand over my mouth and gasped.
"I'm sorry!" I tell him.
"No worries" Ethan replies.
"here" he tells me, and for no reason, he gives me his phone number. How lucky was that!
He walks away. But I slamming the door in his face, that was so embarrassing.
Not cool Ariana! I tell myself
Then I remembered why I came back into the school, I grab my phone out of my locker and close the door.
When I arrive at my house, my parents are watching TV.
"Oh hi honey" my mom says, not looking away from the TV screen.
"Yeah, what she said" Dad adds in.
"Ok what are you guys watching that is so addicting?" I ask, taking the remote from my mom's hand. I see on the TV what it was. Reruns of Big brother. Oh boy! Why did I have to show them that show. Why couldn't they have stayed to something old that they watched when they were teens.
They still don't take their eyes off the screen.
"Hello?" I wave my hand in front of their face. They just move their heads around me so they can watch the screen. I groan. Then I have an idea.
"The house is on fire" I simply state. The house isn't actually on fire though, I just wanted to see if they'd snap out of it; which they didn't.
"that's cool honey" mom says.
Ughh! Why aren't they listening to me!? Wait…..
"So can I dye my hair?"
"Yeah sure whatever" dad plainly says.
Yes!
"They've been like that all day!" Markus informs me.
I nod, going up to my room and calling the hair dresser. I make an appointement for Saturday afternoon.
An hour later, I'm doing my homework until I get a text from Ethan.
Ethan: So you wanna catch a movie later?
Ariana: Sure which one?
Ethan: Divergent, or Mockingjay, your choice.
Ariana: Um… Mockingjay, cause I've already seen Divergent but we can see whatever.
Ethan: Sure, Mockingjay is fine with me. See you at 6?
Ariana: Yeah see u.
I got back to my homework, when I hear a voice at the door.
"Who were you texting? Your boyfriend?" Markus asks, startling me.
I jump in my seat, and turn around.
"no, you little squirt! I was texting…" I say, pretending to check my phone.
"Summer" I lie.
"sure you were, I'll be watching you" he says, walking off. Whoa, stalker much?
At six, I was wearing a floral top and galaxy leggings. I didn't need to do anything with my hair because it is always curled. Which is sometimes an advantage, because it's natural curls, but also I can't do my hairdos that people with straight hair can.
Ethan shows up right at six o'clock. We get to the movies about fifteen minutes later. Ethan waits in line for the tickets while I go to get some popcorn and drinks.
I choose a large popcorn and two root beers.
"That will be 10.50" says the lady behind the counter. I hand her a 20 dollar bill. I wait while hands me the change.
"Ariana?" I hear someone squeal.
I tighten because I knew that voice anywhere. I turn around slowly and see…
