Chapter 2:Midgets and Strawberries

Zhul's POV

"Crazy Midget" I mumbled to myself. I couldn't believe on my first day of class I got stuck with cleaning duties thanks to a crazy midget. And she is a Perez.

I knew a lot about the Perez family. They own one of the biggest companies in the world. Franz Perez is the current CEO of the company.

I looked over to the crazy midget, who was probably as mad as me. I smirked to myself, I was glad I was able to hit a nerve.

The bell rang signaling that it was lunch time.

"Miss Agirac, Mr. Ramos, Mr.Nunez and Miss Perez please find the students I have assigned to you and take them on a quick tour of our school." Mrs.Villanueva said. I grabbed my bag and made my way over to my teacher.

"Thanks a lot Shane" I said sarcastically to her.

"It's Mrs.Villanueva, when we are in school, Zhul" She said smiling. I rolled my eyes and kept walking. Shane is a close family friend. She always got on my nerves though. She would ask me if I got any girls pregnant yet or come up with plans with my crazy father on how to torture me.

I stepped outside the classroom and looked around. I then spotted the midget waiting for me by the lockers. I smirked and made my way over. She was standing there writing into a little book which looked like a planner. She didn't even notice my presence.

"Yo!" I yelled. She jumped and her face turned bright red from embarrassment.

"What the hell is your problem?" She yelled.

"Aren't you supposed to be taking me on a tour?" She rolled her eyes and walked away. I just stood there, was I supposed to follow the midget?

"Well? Are you not gonna follow are do I have to hold your hand to" She said with a baby voice. I gritted my teeth and reluctantly followed the evil midget.

The school was big...actually huge. There were so many different places and rooms. They probably had clubs for every type of interest. I looked ahead at my tour guide. Even though she is a crazy midget bitch, she had nice curves. She was petite which made her cute. I would admit she was actually quite beautiful but she is crazy so I won't admit it.

As we passed more rooms, I began to wonder where the library was.

"We have over a hundred clubs so if-"

"YO midget" I interrupted. She stopped and I could tell she wanted to kill me. She turned around and ran straight for my shin. I feel over in pain when her foot connected to my shins.

"Looks like I am taller now" She said hovering over me. "Don't interrupt me again" she said with an icy tone.

I quickly recover and towered over her. "You crazy little bitch" I yelled. "I just wanted to know where the library was"

"Well if you were patient, then I would have told you, the tour wasn't over strawberry!"

"Stop calling me strawberry, you midget!" I screamed. I could tell she was ready to it me again, I shielded myself and closed my eyes, but no hit came instead I heard a voice call for the midget.

"Hey Angel" I open my eyes to see a tall guy with blue hair walking over to Angel. I noticed how Angel's whole face changed. She wasn't this angry girl I had been arguing with, she was smiling and had a glisten in her eyes.

"Bobby?" She said sweetly, that scared me too. "What's up?"

"Nothing, except I can hear you screaming from down the hall" He said looking at her and caressing her cheek. Her face turned red like a tomato. This guy must be her boyfriend. He then turn to me and gave me a deadly glare. I didn't understand why.

"And who are you?" He spat.

"This is Zhul Alexis" Angel answered quickly. "I am taking him on of a tour of the school; he is one of the new students from Lecio High."

Bobby smirked at me then went to forcefully kiss Bobby. I knew what he was doing. He was marking his territory. I could tell Angel was a bit uncomfortable from the force but quickly hide it when she saw me looking. I simply rolled my eyes.

When they finally stopped sucking face Angel finally answered my request. "The library is straight down and if you make a right down there, the cafeteria is not too far"

"Thanks" I said walking away. I saw Bobby stare at me as I walked away. I decided to ignore it. I didn't feel like getting into fights in this school, I didn't need to be known for fighting here too.

"Carrot top" I heard him snicker. I was so tempted to punch him but I decided to brush it off. As I walked I looked over my shoulder, and saw Bobby kissing Angel with her pushed up against the lockers. I didn't understand how a girl who had such a bitchy and dominant attitude let a guy just handle her like that. But that wasn't my business.

After I took a look around the library I made my way to the cafeteria, I noticed all my friends from Lecio were at the same table.

"Zhul" Darwin called out. I nodded at him and walked over. I noticed I got quite a lot of stares from the other students. I just walked towards the table and joined my friends.

"Hey Zhul, we were just talking about how great it was for all of us that we get to be in the same class" Darwin said happily. I knew it was Shane's plan to have me and all my friends together.

"This school is so big" Darlene said happily. Darlene is one of my good friends and my ex girlfriend. We dated for a few months and that only because Rhesalyn told me that she liked me. She was definitely a nice girl but I didn't have any romantic feelings for her. I broke up with her after some months and she told me she realized she didn't have any feelings for me romantically either. "I think that Gerand guy likes you Rhesalyn" Darlene said.

"Why would you think that?" Rhesalyn asked.

"He was so checking you out as he gave us the tour" Darlene replied.

"I have no time for boys" Rhesalyn said rolling her eyes. Rhesalyn is one of my closet friends. We have been friends since we were five. She used to always kick my butt in karate. I am slowly beginning to think she is gay since she has never shown any interest in boys.

"The school has a well known chess club and sewing club" Brix added. I am ninety percent sure Brix is gay. I wouldn't call us friends more like "frienemies". I met him through Darlene and he would always ate with us, and we would always argue but he always had my back.

"It's nice" Marison said. Marison never usually spoke. He was definitely one of my favorite friends. We became friends in middle school. He helped me in a couple fight and I helped him.

"You guys were lucky. Brix and Marison got a tour from that Mush girl and Zhul, you lucky bastard, that goddess Angel was your tour guide." Darwin said.

"I must say Angel is very pretty" Archie added. I couldn't even tell you how I became friend with Darwin and Archie, it kind of just happened.

"I don't feel lucky she is a bitch" I commented.

"Don't say that about her," He said pretending he was hurt. "There is that gorgeous angel now"

I turned my head slightly and saw her walking in the cafeteria with Bobby holding her waist possessively. "WHAT!" Darwin yelped. "Who is they black haired guy"

"Her boyfriend, Bobby" I answered. I notice them go their separate ways. Angel went to sit with the other students from our class and he sat with some other people.

"So that's Bobby" Rhesalyn said looking at him.

"You know him?" I asked.

"Well, when Gerand ended the tour, he warned us to say away from the senior football players, especially a man named Bobby.

"Yeah, the one with the messy dark hair is Demmy; he is number one in the senior class and the whole school." Darlene stated pointing at the table. There were quite a few guys and some very "grown" looking women.

"Why would he be dangerous?" Brix inquired, he obviously enjoyed the competition.

"Apparently he has broken many hearts" Darlene answered.

"The tall lanky kid with the long black hair is Alec" Rhesalyn continued. "Gerand just said it not safe to be in a room alone with him"

"So they are like the popular kids" Archie said. Rhesalyn and Darlene nodded.

"With some of the hottest cheerleaders ever!" Darwin said drooling over the girls sitting with the football players.

I decided to ignore the conversation and my eyes made my way over to Angel, who was happily talking with her friends. I had to admit, she was really pretty, and if she wasn't so mean she would be perfect. But what do I care.

Angel's POV

"That Darwin kid is a serious pervert" Andrian said as he took a bite of his sandwich. "All he was talking about was getting some action.

"That's doesn't surprise me" I said smiling.

"Rhesalyn and Darlene seemed pretty cool" Gerand added.

"Rhesalyn's cute" I said playfully elbowing Gerand. He automatically blushed. "Yeah so" He said trying to sound cool. I rolled my eyes and noticed a few of my other friend were coming to join us.

"Hey Kent , Jonica, Jenny" I said. Kent had blonde hair and a very emo look. I met Kent through Gerand and Mush. It is so painfully obvious that he likes Mush but he won't admit.

"Still need a ride into town today?" Kent said to me as he took his seat next to mush.

"Yes, thank you" I replied. Jonica and Jenny took their seats by Adrian. Jonica is a friend of mine, even though she is a total kiss up. I don't know if she is only doing it because I am rich or because she is just naturally a kiss up. Jenny is quiet that's why I like her. Most guys try to date her but she keeps to herself.

"Angel how was your summer?" Jenny asked. "Good thanks for asking" I said smiling to her.

She began asking everyone around the table and I let my eyes wander around the cafeteria. I looked at Bobby who was talking with Demmy. Demmy is the only person who I don't mind out of Bobby's friends. Everyone else seemed like jerks. I especially hate that he hung out with the cheerleaders. He told me I should trust him and I do, I just don't trust them. We never sit together mainly because our groups of friends don't exactly get along, so we sit with our own friends during lunch. I looked around more and my eyes met orange.

How I hate that stupid strawberry. I have to admit, he is really cute and has really cute eyes but he is such an asshole. He is nowhere as cute as my boyfriend. Bobby could probably beat up that idiot in a second. The only problem is that Bobby could be very rough with me sometimes, and even though I can handle it, I feel like he doesn't do it with love but I can't expect too much from him, he isn't the sensitive type.

I bring my attention back to my table. I look at Andrian. He has always been cute. I remember having the biggest crush on him when Gerand introduced us. I thought I could fall in love with Andrian but I didn't. We acted more like friends. I still think he is incredibly cute but there are no longer any romantic feelings. I look at Gerand. Gerand has always been cute. He even had a very nice body, but he was too much of a punk to actually go out with a girl. He would like a girl for like a month then like a new one. This month was definitely Rhesalyn. I smiled to myself as I watched my friends; I loved my life I truly did. Then my eyes wandered back to the orange head.

Zhul's POV

"Class dismissed" Shane said, sorry, Mrs.Villanueva said. Everyone quickly grabbed their stuff and ran out the door. I sighed and sat in the chair. I would have to do cleaning duties. I looked to my right and saw the midget writing in her little planner.

"You two can go" Mrs.Villanueva announced. Angel and I practically jumped up in excitement when she said that

"What about cleaning duty?" I asked relieved

"That won't start till tomorrow morning, and you won't have to do afternoons since you have after school job Zhul" she said.

"Yeah I guess, see you tomorrow then" I said picking up my bag, throwing it over my shoulder and heading for the door. I looked over at the midget who was put her stuff in her bag. "Later Midget" I said. I saw her snap her head up and reach for the nearest book. I ran out the classroom before she could throw it. "STUPID STRAWBERRY!" I heard her yell as I ran down the hall.

"I'm home" I said walking in to my house.

"ZHUL!" my dad said running to hug me, I simply moved out of the way and he ran into the door. "Hey dad" I said ignoring him.

"Hello Zhul how was school" My mom asked me when I walked into the kitchen. "Its good, nice place" I said giving my mother a kiss on the cheek.

"Momma's boy" I heard my father mutter as he walked into the kitchen. Victor Alexis is my dad. He is a doctor. We actually like in a clinic. Marisa Alexis is my mother. She stays at home and helps the best she can, around the clinic and also if a full time mother.

"Kimberly and Lorry aren't back yet?" I asked.

"No they should be here in about half an hour" she said.

"I guess I'll see them, when I get home" I said "I'm gonna change then head out to work. "Today was my first day of my new job. My dad's family friend Ricky Villanueva owns a shop in town. Apparently, one of his employees quit so he needs help.

I quickly changed into a white V neck tee and fitted jeans with some white sneakers. I ran downstairs, quickly kissed my mom on the cheek and gave my father a head nod. "See you guys at dinner" I said running out.

"Ah! Zhul, you made it" Ricky said to me as he walked up to greet me. Ricky had on a green stripped jacket and his favorite hat. He had blond hair and always wore clogs.

"Hey Ricky" I said to him.

"Why so cold, I thought we were closer than that" He said. I rolled my eyes.

"Shane told me you got stuck with cleaning duty at school"

"Yeah, cause she is a slave driver" I mumbled.

"I heard that" a voice said. Shane stood there smiling. Ricky and Shane were like family to me; my dad has known them since before I was born.

"Come to the back, let me show you what you will be doing" Ricky said to me. I followed him to the back of the store. Ricky showed me around the stock room. I learned where all the back stock was and other important places.

"Mr.Villanueva" a deep voice said. I turned to see one of his employees, Hanna. He is a tall, muscular, lightly tan-skinned man. His hair is corn-rolled and he has a large handlebar mustache. He wears a pair of dark shaded glasses.

"Yes!" Ricky said happily.

"She is here" he replied.

"Goodie!" he exclaimed. "Well Zhul, one of my very important customers are here, how bout you help me stack some of those boxes. I sighed as I did what I was told. I began to wonder who this important customer was. Zhul couldn't be that famous that he had celebrities visit him. After I finished stacking boxes, Hanna walked in.

"The boss needs you to bring out a package for the customer" he said then pointed to a rather heavy looking box.

I sighed in annoyance then proceed to pick up the box. I slowly made my way to the front of the shop with much effort. I huffed and slowly put the box down. I looked up to see a young girl with her back facing me. From what I could see she had a nice ass and had great curves, from her height she was probably like 14, she must have bloomed early. "Um is this box for you?" I asked. She turned around and that's when I recognized the evil midget.

"Midget?" I accidently said out loud. Suddenly a little box hit me in head.

"WHAT THE HELL DID I SAY ABOUT CALLING ME A MIDGET!" she screamed. I grabbed my head in pain. Man was she annoying.

"Why do you always have to be so damn violent?" I growled.

"I swear you two bicker like an old married couple" a female voice said. Shane walked in followed by Ricky.

"Now, Zhul, Miss Perez here is one of my favorite and most loyal customers" Ricky said.

"And she is my favorite student" Shane added. I rolled my eyes. I didn't care who she was, she was still a bitch.

"Now Zhul could you help bring the package to Miss Perez's car." Ricky asked. I growled and mumbled some curses. I picked up the box and walked past the smirking midget. I finally reached outside where a beat up blue car stood.

"Here let me help you" another voice said. I looked to see who was helping me. It was one of Angel's friends from lunch. He had blonde hair.

"Matibag, you don't need to help him" I heard the midget say.

"It's no problem." He said. "I am Kent Matibag"

"Zhul Alexis" I said introducing myself. We carried the box to the trunk and set it down.

"Thanks" I said to him. "No problem" He said making his way over to the driver's seat. I saw the midget roll her eyes and then walk up to Ricky.

"Thanks Mrs.Villanueva, please let me know when my other shipments have arrived" she said politely. "See you tomorrow Miss Shane"

"Bye strawberry" She said smirking at me.

"Midget" I mumbled. She gave me death glare before she got into the car. The car sped off and I watched it leave. I had to admit the midget is actually cute when she is angry.

"Angel" I said to myself before walking back into the shop.
