8

I entered the classroom and went to sit at a corner in the back.

Ares stepped in and his eyes roamed around the classroom before it settled on me. A smirk made it's way onto his lips before he came and sat in front of me as a girl took a seat next to me while a dude next to Ares.

"Hi!" The unknown girl greeted me with a huge smile, "I'm Emma. You're the new girl who everybody is talking about right?"

"I'm Diana Cooper." I replied which made Emma smile, "Everybody is talking about how you stood up for yourself in front of Iris. Iris is a bully. She thinks that just because her father is rich, she can behave however she wants."

"Who is her father?" I asked, curiousity getting the best of me.

"Leonard Smoak." Emma replied.

"That's the first time I'm hearing this name," I rolled my eyes, "I thought you were gonna say Bill Gates." She laughed at my response.

"Who's this hot guy?" Emma asked, pointing to Ares who was in front of us.

"I don't know." I replied with a shrug, "Ask him."

"God—He is so hot. Damn, how can someone be so hot?" Emma asked while staring shamelessly at the back of his head, "I've seen him earlier in the hallway."

"How old are you?"

"Seventeen," she replied, "How about you?"

"Eighteen."

"You look weirdly familiar," Emma furrowed her brows, "You look like the CEO of IC."

"I get that a lot," I faked a chuckle, internally panicking, "Honestly, I wish I was her."

Just then, my eyes fell on the guy next to Ares who leaned in and whispered something in his ear which made him as well the guy turn their heads in mine and Emma's direction.

"Hey girls," The boy next to Ares smiled, "I'm Ryan. What about you, beauties?"

Emma blushed and replied, "Emma," she then pointed to me, "and this is Diana."

"Hey Diana," Ryan smirked, "You look hot with those glasses." If he was expecting a reaction from me, he wasn't gonna get it. I pretended as if he didn't say anything to me.

"And that's my new made friend," Ryan cleared his throat awkwardly, nodding in Ares's direction, "he's apparently the talk of the school at the moment. Jason Blackmore."

"H-Hi Jason." Emma greeted shyly, her cheeks were already a crimson red the moment Ares glanced at her.

"Hey bro," A boy approached Ryan making him stand up and bro hug the guy. Breaking the hug, he looked at us.

"This is Thierry," He had his hands onn Thierry's shoulders. I internally smirked. We found our guy.

Thierry smiled at us, "You guys are the newbies right?"

Both Ares and I nodded in response.

"I'm Thierry. What are your names?" He asked.

"Diana," I replied with a straight face.

"Jason," Ares responded.

"Well, Diana and Jason, I hope to see you guys around. How about we have lunch together?" Thierry asked to which we nodded instantly, grabbing the opportunity.

"Good, see you for lunch then." Thierry said with a huge smile before sitting at his seat which was apparently next to Iris, the bitch.

"Who is that one?" I asked Emma who replied, "Thierry Lopez. He is one of the rich guys here, and popular too. He's surprisingly nice unlike most rich kids."

"Enough talking!" The teacher shouted as he stood in front of the class, "we're going to start the class now. If I see any of you talking among yourselves, you'll be thrown out instantly."

"Her name is Ms Rooster—I mean Sara Reester but everybody here calls her Rooster." Emma whispered making me hold in a chuckle at the name.

"We have two new students right?" Ms Reester asked, "Stand up both of you! And introduce yourselves."

Both Ares and I stood up and introduced ourselves. I absolutely hated being bossed around—well, when my father would do it, that was completely another thing.

"You may sit down," she said, "my name is Sara Reester and I'll be teaching Biology to you all."

"So our first chapter for this year is Human reproduction." With that, Rooster began explaining how all of this thing works.

"It is actually My favourite chapter." Emma whispered to me. I was getting bored on listening to whatever Rooster was explaining.

Letting out a silent groan of annoyance, I stood up "Can I go to the restroom?"

"Yes, You may." She said and I stood up from my seat and left the class instantly. I exhaled in relief when I was out. I already knew everything she was explaining since I basically completed my studies. I was about to walk away from the classroom door when I heard Ares's voice

"Can I also go to the restroom?" He asked and then Rooster asked back, "why?"

"What do you think people go to the restroom for?" Ares snapped, "It's urgent."

"Next time, don't talk to me in that tone, Mr Blackmore. I'm letting you go only because you are new." Rooster said and the next two seconds, Ares opened the door and stepped out. He flashed me a small smile when he saw me standing there. I couldn't help but return it.

I was standing in front of the mirror and staring at myself with those fake glasses. The door flew open and Ares walked in. He approached me and stood beside me.

"You're a good actress, you know that?"

"I'm good at everything." I replied sarcastically but wasn't exactly lying though. "We have to become his close friends."

"It's not gonna be that hard from what I've observed in Thierry." Ares replied.

"He's friends with Iris, the Bitch." I sighed, "If we want to befriend Thierry, we have to tolerate that Iris."

"I know."

"Can't we just kill her?" I asked, looking at Ares who shook his head, "You're gonna make this school become like Riverdale High."

"Are Jason and Diana—" I was cut off by Ares, "No. They are fine. They're just in another school."

Just then, the door flew open making both Ares and I snap our heads in that direction to see Emma standing there with her eyes wide open. She let out a gasp for I don't know what reason. I narrowed my eyes at her. What if she heard mine and Ares's conversation? If so, opening the door would be a dumb move cause' she wasn't going to get out of here alive.

"Are you guys having an affair?" Emma's question brought me back from my thoughts. So, she didn't hear. Good.

"No," I shook my head, "he just thought that this was the boys' restroom."

"Yeah, she was just arguing with me because she got scared when she saw me here." Ares added making me internally roll my eyes.

"Oh Okay. Sorry—I assumed things." Emma apologized.

"It's fine. I'll go to the boys' restroom now." Ares waved it off and left instantly after shooting me a quick look.

After a two more periods, it was finally lunch time. I was walking towards the canteen when someone stopped me. I turned to see it was Thierry. Just the guy I was looking for.

"Hey come with us. We have lunch together, remember?" He asked to which I nodded before following to the table where Ares, Iris, Emma and Ryan were sitting.

"Hey Diana." Everybody except Iris greeted me, not that I cared. I sat down next to Ares, on his right while Iris was on his left.

"So, Diana. Tell us a little about yourself." Ryan spoke up making everyone look at me expectantly.

"I'm eighteen, from America." I lied smoothly. I did look like I was eighteen even though I wasn't.

"What do your parents do?" Iris asked, with a smirk.

My dad leads the Russian Mafia while my mom is one of the most famous fashion designers in Paris and I am the CEO of one of the biggest companies that exist— I am also an assassin and I'll gladly kill you after taking the pleasure to torture the fuck out of you.

"My dad is a plumber and my mom's a chef." I replied calmly.

"Plumber for a dad and chef for a mom, no wonder you look like that." Iris said with a disgusted fake smile which I ignored which was the safest thing to do.

"What about you, Jasy?" Iris trailed her finger down Ares's tattooed arm, "What do your parents do?"

"Both my parents are businessman— and woman." Ares replied which made Iris smile, "Mine too."

"Iris's dad owns the Smoak Enterprises. It is not that successful but she loves to brag about it." Ryan replied which made Iris scoff.

"Shut up! You're talking as if you own the Ivanov's Corporation or—the Salvatore Industries." Iris said and I couldn't stop the small smirk that adorned my lips. I glanced at Ares and saw him looking at me with an expression that mirrored mine.

"Hey!" Ryan exclaimed, "I'm a fan of the CEO of IC. She's hot, beautiful and smart. Damn..."

"She's twenty four." Iris said and rolled her eyes, "You're eighteen."

"So what?" Ryan asked, "Age doesn't matter when you're in love."

"You can't love someone who you never met." Ares said in an annoyed tone. Why the hell was he annoyed?

"I'll meet her soon." Ryan said and smirked.

"What makes you think that?" I asked out of curiosity. If only he knew.

"Call it an instinct." Ryan replied with a shrug.

"So out of all the schools that exist, you decided to come here...why?" Iris asked, looking at me as she changed the topic.

"I could ask you the same thing." I replied coldly, "Anyway—why I'm here is none of your god damn concern."

"Wow the nerd snapped!" Iris mocked making me glare at her in response.

She really was testing my patience. And I wasn't really a patient person. I glanced at Ares who mouthed, ‘don't blow our cover’ and I rolled my eyes at him. I wasn't going to screw this up for us. For once, I was actually going to ignore the bitch and pretend like I didn't know a hundred ways to kill her bitchy self.
