Chapter Six

Juniper

He turned his face and our eyes met, I immediately looked away not wanting to be caught staring like a pervert. Jasmine noticed my flustered face and mouthed the words “We”ll talk about this when class is over”.

I immediately understood what she meant by that and gave her a small smile mouthing the words okay. I have a feeling I just made a new friend.

The bell rang signaling that the period was over and the three Greek gods walked out the class in unison.

Haha that’s gonna be their new nickname

Jasmine seemed to notice me staring at them and immediately blocked my view of them seeing their gorgeous faces earning her a raised eyebrow from me.

“Don’t even think about it.” She slightly scolded.

“Think about what?” I asked confused

“Those boys. The Daleton Boys” she said gesturing to the seats that were formally occupied by them.

“What?”

“C’mon I’ll explain it to you in the library” she said dragging me with her towards the library.

“Wait Jasmine I have study hall”

“Same here and that’s just a free perioid” she answered walking hurriedly with me to the library.

We finally got to the library and Jasmine and I found a quiet spot to sit as we talked and got to know each other better and we got along pretty well.

“So juniper you’re really from Spain?” She asked curiously.

“Yeah I am”

“Where exactly?”

“Barcelona” i answered making her grin excitedly.

“That’s really cool, I’ve always wanted to go to Spain.” She said dreamily

“Really? Trust me it’s an amazing place. You’d especially love Barcelona” I added

“I know right. I’ve never really been outside of New York before” she said sadly.

“You haven’t? Why?” I asked curiously.

“Plane tickets are crazy expensive.” She said making me stare at her in confusion.

Isn’t she a rich kid like the rest of them? She noticed my expression and gave a soft laugh to that.

“I’m a scholarship student. I’ve been going to Daleton prep since kindergarten. My mum works as the school nurse. I’m not like the rest of the elitist kids in this school” she said making me nod my head in understanding.

“It’s okay, I understand and it doesn’t matter if you aren’t rich or whatever. I like hanging out with you”

“Thanks Juni” she appreciated giving me a small hug.

“You’re welcome, and by the way Jas I’ve been meaning to ask you.. why the pants?” I asked curiously my eyes wondering to her legs.

“Oh, I hate the uniform skirts they’re just too short for my liking and the pants are so much convenient you know” she explained flexing her legs.

“Okay I understand. They are actually short, thought it was just me that noticed. About those guys in class, The Daleton boys. Who are they?” I asked curiously.

She gave a deep sigh before answering my question.

“So the Daleton boys are the top three most popular and richest kids of Daleton prep. They rule the school and nobody dares to go against them. Rumors have it that they’re part of some elitist gang in the city but I’m not really sure about that. The three of them are really good looking and gorgeous and every girl in Daleton prep is inlove with them and believe they can get to date them.”

“Archer Elis Graham is the troublesome and crazy one out of the three. He’s really cute with his baby face and all but he’s always up to something that never ends well for anyone. He has a twin sister and she’s drop dead gorgeous. She’s a violinist, and she’s very famous and talented and part of this elite opera orchestra.” Jasmine narrated as I listened.

“Wow, who’s she? Does she attend this school?” I asked curiously.

“Yeah she does. Her name is Sophia Belle Graham, you’ll see her during lunch because she sits with them”. She answered

“What about the other one?”I asked about the second member of the Daleton Boys.

“Oh, his name is Ivanovo Daleton. Ivan is the smart one and the star athlete out of the three of them. He plays basketball and his family owns Daleton prep.”

“Wow, does he like have any famous sibling too?” I asked very much curious about them.

“Not really, he has two brothers but they’re in middle school”. She answered.

“He mentioned having a girlfriend, do you know who she is?”

“Yeah. He’s dating Sophia. Archer’s twin sister and from what I’ve heard they go way back”

“Wow. It’s crazy how you know so much about them jasmine, were you ever friends with them?” I asked curiously causing her to shake her head immediately.

“Oh no, they’ve never noticed me before. I’ve been attending Daleton prep with them since kindergarten plus I hear alot of gossip about them in the school clinic. Remember my mum’s the schools nurse” she said playfully making me laugh at that.

“I really like hanging out with you Jasmine, you’re fun and I hope we get to hang out more often” I said.

“Hmm, are you suggesting that we become friends?” She asked with a sweet smile on her face.

“Yeah, I’m suggesting that.. only if you want to though?”

“Of course I want that too. How else are you gonna survive in this awful school without me by your side?” She said playfully trying to be dramatic causing me to laugh.
