Por Favor - Chapter 3

SKY

Riven taps me on my shoulder and I pull out my earbud, turning off the video I was watching and look over at him. He leans over and whispers in my ear.

"She's high" he laughs and gestures over to the small red head from yesterday, looking around the room. She looks at me and waves slowly and I greet her back after Riven introduces us.

She continues looking around the room and looks confused once class is over but gets up and starts walking to the door, but wobbles slightly as she walks. Riven calls her name about five times before she stops and looks at around.

"¿Que?" she asks. I wonder what's with the Spanish thing.

"Hey. Why don't you sit with us today? Help you make some friends" Riven offers. High people are his favorite people. She nods and looks around, starting to head to gym...the wrong way.

"Erm...the gym is that way" I point the correct way and she nods and heads the correct way. Me and Riven bust out laughing and dap each other up as I follow the hopelessly stoned red head.

Simons called us to stand in front of a taped down lined and we started doing exercises. The only problem was, I didn't see Bloom anywhere. Maybe she's skipping; didn't peg her to be that type of person, but ok.

BLOOM

I spent all of gym in the locker room. My chest was hurting and vision more blurry than before. I used a hot towel on my chest to help with the pain and fell asleep in an abandoned hole in the wall.

I woke up when I heard the girls in my class coming in. I left the cubby when they all left and I grabbed my things, leaving the sweaty perfumed room. I waited by the lockers for Jared to come with his friends when this purple haired boy came up to me.

"Hola"

"Hey. Are you ready?" Ready? For what exactly?

"¿Que?"

"You said you'd sit with us today. Remember?" Crap. Not good timing.

"Aye. Sì. Liderar el camino " I look back as he started walking, Jared rounding the corner. I start following this guy, pretending I didn't feel his eyes in the back of my head.

We get to this table that has a big group of really good looking people. I recognize a few from my first two classes, Helia, Flora and Sky, and the girl who had a purple stain in her shirt yesterday. Stella I believe is her name.

"Hola" they look at me confused, except the purple haired boy and Sky.

"She said hi. This is Bloom. She's in my French class" he explains to them.

"We know, why is she over here?" The short pink haired girl asks in a monotone, confused way that still kinda hurt.

"I invited her to sit with us. Help her make friends" he elaborated and they nodded. He sat me between the light brown haired girl and a blue haired girl. He introduced me to each of them properly.

The short pink haired girl, that's Tecna. Timmy's girlfriend. Timmy has light orange hair and glasses. The blue haired girl is his girlfriend, Musa. The light brown haired girl is Flora. Her boyfriend is Helia who adorns grayish-bluish long hair. A dark brown haired girl and boy, Aisha and Nabu, who are dating. The blonde girl from yesterday is indeed Stella and she has a boyfriend named Brandon who has chestnut brown hair. (I'm sensing a pattern). Sky's girlfriend is Crystal who has long, light pink dyed hair.

All of them look really good together and I feel a tad bit jealous that I'm the only single one at the table but with what's going on at home, I can't have a relationship. Maybe after graduation...maybe.

"Bloom...Bloom...Earth to Bloom!" I hear someone say and snaps me out of my trance. Focusing, I look at Sky, keeping my eyes at his ear, a little trick I learned at my old school.

"¿Que?"

"Does she speak anything else beside Spanish?" I hear someone ask in a not so subtle whisper. I lower my eyes, feeling kinda bad. Of course I do, but only around close people, but the little pride I do have came over me.

"Yes" I reply, looking up at Stella, knowing she was the one who asked. Her eyes widen and nods slowly.

So...you know in scary movies when the killer or bad guy comes up behind their victim and does whatever to them, that how I felt at this moment. The strong scent of Champagne hits my nose. That's Jared's cologne and I know I'm dead...or worse.

"Hey guys. What's going on?" He sweet talks to the group, placing a hand on my shoulder. I tense under the weight of his palm.

"We were just making a new friend. What's up?" Riven asks, looking at Jared, the same way as he does to the rest of his friends.

"Oh. That's good. Sis, always had issues making friends" I feel his eyes in the back of my head, almost burning a hole there. "I'll talk to you later then" I hear his footsteps leaving and I know I'm dead when I get home.

"Jared's your brother?" Nabu asks me.

"Sì" I simply say. The group picks up into their own conversations and I just sit there, internally freaking out, sometimes someone will say something to me and I'd respond quickly and easily.

The bell rings, signaling the end of lunch and we get up. I look at my schedule and head to math, sitting at the very back. My phone buzzes and I look at the message.

Fight night!!!

The bet?

•••Anthony•••

5k

I'll be there

I stash my phone back in my bag and lay my head down. Guess I'm not dead after all. I notice Crystal, Stella and Flora are in math with me.

They sit in the row in front of me and turn around towards me.

"Hiiii" Crystal and Stella say at the same time, making Flora giggle. I smile softly and wave at them.

"We want to invite you to go to the mall with us tomorrow, after school" Flora says. I think she's genuinely nice, i don't know about the rest. Tomorrow? I can't. I can't miss two days from home.

"{Look up I'm busy tomorrow after school. Maybe another time?}" I smile sadly at them and they nod, but are confused. "No" I say quietly and they nod.

"We understand. It was short notice and you're probably still getting used to it here. Maybe some other time?" Crystal asks and I agree. They squeal and smile at me.

The teacher comes in and we start class.
