I left for class after that encounter. I would be a big liar if I said that guy didn't have any effect on me. He was like the only guy I deemed worthy of my time—and that thought annoyed me more than I cared to admit.
Next class was Physics. Ughhh... more science. Don't get me wrong, I love science, but how do teachers expect students to know everything they taught within 13 weeks in one day? Like... be serious.
Anyway. When I walked into class, I noticed the students were behaving weirdly—but not in the usual fearful way. They looked like they were staring at something magical. When I looked closer, I realized it was the little patatino in all his glory, except for the slight mark on his left cheek that I honorably left.
I didn't care about such commotion. I went to my seat, seeing that everyone was still ogling at him. I commanded in a loud tone, "Everyone get your butt on your seat before I count to three."
Immediately, everyone scrambled to their seats in fear. I smiled at my creative work. As for the patatino, he just stood there as if he was waiting for someone to offer a sacrificial lamb before he would enter. I merely glanced at him and snorted at his blank expression.
The teacher was yet to be in class, so I just laid my head on the desk. Then later, I heard another round of gasps from the students. This time, I didn't even bother to lift my head up to care about what that was about—until one of the students yelled, "There's more!"
I furrowed my eyebrows. More?
Raising my head up, I noticed that 2 additional guys were beside the patatino guy, forming like a band of three or whatever. They all had smirks on their faces, showing they were enjoying the attention. But that bastard—the patatino—kept staring at me with a blank expression like he was really wishing for a beating.
Then the teacher finally arrived. Finally.
"Settle down, kids. We have new students in class today," he said.
"Thanks for the news, Captain Obvious," I muttered sarcastically to the teacher with a sweet smile, of course.
The teacher was obviously startled by my response, but he put on a calm facade. He coughed to hide his embarrassment, though all the students had clearly heard what I said.
"Please come in," he motioned for the new kids. "Please introduce yourselves."
They looked unwilling to do so, like as if we weren't worthy to know their names. I was already getting irritated. Before he could say whatever he wanted to say, I cut in.
"If you're just going to stand there like unwanted wannabes, you might as well bring everyone joy by leaving the class."
The guys were shocked. Then one of them—the one with the cockiest smirk—responded, "I don't waste my breath on worthless things."
I propped my hand under my chin, staring at him lazily, already thinking he was the one with the lowest IQ by the way he responded.
"Quit trying to be a smart-ass when you're just a real ass. I mean, your ass must really get jealous of your mouth for all the shits that comes out of it."
He tried to talk again. I didn't let him.
"If you don't shut your mouth, the next thing coming out of it will be your teeth." I smirked.
The class went dead silent. Even the teacher looked like he wanted to disappear. The three new guys just stared at me—some angry, some amused, but the patatino? He just kept that same blank expression, like he was studying me.
Good. Let him study. He'll learn soon enough.
This is my territory. And I don't share.

Oooohhh burnnnn 😏 Let's see what happens next. Remember to vote 😙🖤*Ariana*I stood there like an idiot long after Tristan disappeared around the corner.My heart was doing that thing I hated—the fast, fluttery thing that made me feel like I'd just run a marathon. But I wasn't running. I was standing still. Frozen.Tonight. The Dungeon.What the hell was that supposed to mean? And why did he want me to bring Brit?I shook my head, forcing myself to move. I couldn't stand there all day looking like a lost puppy. I had a reputation to maintain.---Lunch couldn't come fast enough.I found my usual table already occupied by the usual suspects—Kyle, Ashton, and Bel. They were all staring at me like I'd grown a second head."So," Bel said, dragging the word out like she was about to interrogate me. "Care to explain why the entire school is talking about you storming into the gym with your siblings and beating up Davis?"I slid into my seat, grabbing a fry from Kyle's tray. "I didn't beat him up. Brit did most of the work.""Details," Ashton said, leaning
ArianaThe whispers followed me like a shadow.Every step I took through the hallway, heads turned. Eyes widened. Voices dropped to hushed murmurs. The gym incident had spread like wildfire, and now everyone knew exactly what happened to Davis and his little side piece.Good. Let them talk. I'm still yet to talk to my friends about what really went down I was still riding the high from that moment—the look on Davis's face when Brit punched him, the way Sandra shrunk back when Matt got in her face, the satisfying sound of their footsteps as they fled like cowards. I hadn't felt this powerful in days.But then I turned the corner and saw him.Tristan Hales. Leaning against my locker like he owned it. Like he owned me.My stride didn't falter. I wasn't about to let him see me hesitate."Well, well," I said, stopping a few feet away. "If it isn't my favorite stalker. Should I get a restraining order, or are you just naturally this obsessed?"Tristan didn't laugh. He didn't even smirk.Th
ArianaBrit is crazy, I tell y'all. The Cabin? Now she's tryna murder someone. Oh my God."Brit, that wasn't cool at all. You can't just go around threatening people.""Mmm, sure I can. I just did.""I'm telling you, watch it.""Or else what? Pussy.""I pretty sure you don't wanna test me.""Oh yes I am.""Okay, you guys should just stop. Brit is all scary and shit, but angry Matt is much more scary. I guess it's true what they say—the most playful ones are the scariest when they're angry. Or whatever."Matt shot me a look that was half amused, half threatening. I decided to keep my mouth shut after that.Anyways, back to what we're here for."Yeah, where does the douche hang out?" Matt asked, cracking his knuckles like he was about to go to war."The gym," I said, giving them a duh look. They still seemed confused though."Captain of the baseball team?" Brit asked, raising an eyebrow."Baseball? Do you even like baseball?" Matt scoffed."The things we do for love. Well, at least it's
*Tristan*"Bro, all my body aches from all those training sessions. The coach isn't really giving us space. We barely have enough time to go to the dungeon. I'm starting to wonder if that sport was even worth it," Derek asked lazily as usual."You're just making up excuses for being a pussy," I interpreted."Exactly, but he's also right. We've barely had enough time to visit the dungeon all in the name of after-school sport training," Eric reasoned."See? At least Eric supports me on this," Derek smiled smugly like he just won a lottery."I really don't," Eric said as a matter of fact.Ha. Eric never lets him rejoice, and as expected, Derek nearly exploded."I always knew you hated me," Derek said, almost on the verge of tears."Good. I almost thought I was sending off the wrong message.""Come on, dude, just let Derek be Derek."We were heading out from the locker room, and yes—we were at school before school hours. That coach is really something."Is it just me, or does everyone see
*Ariana*"Wakey wakey," Matt cooed, slapping my cheeks."Ughh.. 20 more minutes," I said, rolling around in the sheets."You know, any other typical teenagers would have begged for 5 minutes more, but here you are demanding 20 minutes more. Don't be greedy—get your ass up.""Well, that's Ariana Kings for ya. And we all know I'm not a typical teenager.""Are you bitc- I mean peaches—still in bed? Get your asses up before I make you," Brit roared.Now that did get me out of bed. Why, you may ask? 'Cause I knew Brit wasn't joking when she said that—trust me."Thanks, Brit. I couldn't have done it without you," Matt sighed."I know, you've always been a wussy," she said with a smile."Evilll! Evill!" Matt yelled, pointing fingers.
*Ariana*I don't think I really remembered how I got home, but all I knew was that I was so damn exhausted.And guess what? (Dramatic pause) I was on my bed actually crying. And no, it wasn't the kind where you go looking for a freaking mirror to look how cute you are. No, in this case, you don't really need it 'cause you know you already look like a freaking ghost with spider-web eyes. To put it simply—I'm a mess. Actually.I don't know why I'm feeling this way, but I think maybe it's because Davis was the only person who knew me as my real psychotic, crazy self and chose to love me for who I was. But apparently, I was wrong. And as much as I'd hate to admit it, that hit me so hard. Yeah sure, maybe everyone does love me, but not when I'm the real me. It just feels like everyone wants me to be so perfect, and school was like the place I could just be free and...I heard a knock on my door. Dang it, my thoughts were interrupted just when I was in the mood to be vulnerable. Guess it's
