ARIANA'S POV:
I ran away from the restroom and sat down on a bench a saw nearby on the playground. I knew I'll still see him again but not so soon.
"Why is he even here?" I said out loud as I hit my hand on the wooden bench.
"There's no use, I'll just have to endure it all it's not like he's staying here forever, right?"
DING!
'Hey Aria'
'why aren't you picking up my calls?'
'I'm sorry please just here me out.'
"Why is it so hard for someone to get when they're not in the mood to talk?" I hissed and threw the phone to the side when someone suddenly chuckled as he picked up my phone.
"Who are you?" I asked as I stood up from the bench.
"It's yours right?" He said as he held one of my hand and placed the phone in it.
"T-Thanks." I stammered.
"Oh, I'm Jordan." He smiled.
"But you can just call be big Jo." He smiled again.
"Okay and thanks for picking it up." I said about to leave when he held my hand.
"Is there something you need?" I asked,impatient.
"Urm...I know you're new here and I want us to be friends." He stayed as I looked at him.
Friends? Someone had once asked me to be their friend? Am I not able to change my fate? Why is it that the past keeps coming back to haunt me? No, I can't let that happen. I made mistakes in the past but I won't repeat them, ever.
"No but thanks for helping, it's best if we remain just classmates." I say and walk away without waiting for his response.
...
"Tessy! Tessy!"
"What? I'm not deaf." An average height girl with long brown hair answered as she crossed her legs on the table.
"What news do you have?" She asked, as she applied another layer of lipgloss.
"Urm... it's Jordan and the new girl." Jessica said as she landed on the chair beside her bestie.
"What? How dare that exchange student even look at my man?" She raged.
"Tes, it's not her, it's the other quiet new student." Jessica explained as Tessy laughed.
"Wait! You mean that loser, she can't even do such a thing, does she know how she looks likes?" Tessy laughed, trying to catch her breath.
"Tes, I think there's something fishy about the new girl and that exchange student beside I also heard that she's from Royal High." Jessica said as Tessy smirked.
"Then why did she leave? Who knows she might have been expelled for been a slut and now she's trying to be holy my foot." She scorned. "I'll make sure to deal with her."
"Tes, don't do anything okay, you know the school's still watching you." Jessica reminded.
"I know and that's why I wouldn't be doing anything instead someone will do the job for me."
"And I need you to get more information about the girl and the Royal High students."
...
"Hey babe!" Jordan said once Tessy arrived at their meeting spot.
"You're late!" Jordan said as Tessy ignored him and walked over.
"I heard people talking about you and that new girl." Tessy confronted as Jordan bit his lip before saying "are you jealous?"
"Jealous? Why would I be jealous of that thing?" Tessy eyed in disgust.
"See, so there's nothing to worry about, I'm all yours." He said as he hugged her from behind.
"You shouldn't be worried about her, she doesn't even look at me but you should be worried about your friend." Jordan warned.
"Who? Jessica?" She asked, confused.
"No, it's Annabel, she's been looking at me strangely recently and..."
"She likes you...a lot." Tessy smiled as Jordan froze.
"What's wrong babe?" Tessy asked once she noticed his changed expression.
"It's nothing, I'm fine." He replied with a smile.
"How do you know?" Jordan asked as Tessy just laughed.
"Everyone knows that,I'm surprised that you don't actually know."
"And I also know you can't cheat on me." Tessy said as she turned to wrap her hands around his neck.
"Babe?"
"Mmh!"
"I want something from you." Tessy said as Jordan nodded for her to continue.
"I want you to profess your love to Annabel." She said.
"Annabel? Why? She's not even my type?" Jordan frowned.
"I know that's why I'm telling you to do this, it will be fun."
"I don't it will."
"You don't have to think so, I know so." She replied.
"But I need time." Jordan said as Tessy released him.
"Time for what? Just tell her you love her in front of the class, simple?" Tessy said annoyed.
"It's not as easy as you say it is, how can I just go to her and tell her I love her." Jordan complained. "She'll suspect and then your plan will flop."
"Fine, I give you till the end of this student exchange program."
"You have just one month to make her fall deeply in love with you, more than she ever was before and you might get a reward." She smiled.
...
"Psst!" Annabel called as Joshua turned to see his sister.
"Urm...I'll take you round the school later, I have something to attend to." Annabel said as Jayden nodded his head and walked away.
"Joshua what happened? You just ran out of the class for nothing, why?" She asked as Joshua sighed.
"I saw her?" He finally replied as Annabel widened her eyes.
"Really? Who is she then?" She asked impatiently.
"She's Ariana, the new girl in your class." He blurted out as Annabel stared at him for a while, confused.
"Wait! You mean the girl you played a bet on was Ariana?" Annabel asked, shocked.
"Yes and I'm sorry okay, I love her...I really do but she doesn't want to forgive me." He said in a low tone as Annabel sighed as she patted his shoulder.
"I understand, it must be really hard for her too, so what's the plan how do we win her over?" She asked.
"I'm waiting for Jayden to give me an idea because I'm blank at the moment."
"Jayden?"
"The guy you just talked with." Joshua said shaking his head.
"He practically introduced himself in the class."
"I'm sorry I wasn't really paying attention." She apologized when she suddenly remembered what she said about him last night.
"Wait! Is he the same Jayden I threatened to punch in the nose?"
