****************************************************************************

Aelinae's POV

"You know I'm not going so why bother"

I sighed closing my locker and turning to meet the most annoying girls ever.

You know those people that are meant to grow on you but never do? Yeah, that's Madison and Koko.

You also know those best friends that look alike and still look very different? Yeah, that's also them too.

They both have blond hair though Madison's were longer and Koko's were loosely curled. They both had rich tan skins too. They were both very pretty girls. And yet, the only difference between them was the biggest difference too. Koko was a curvy girl while Madison was slim.

They are literally the number 18.

The two friends where always bickering to each other about the latest gossip or drama. They're like the weather forecast your parents watch everyday but instead of the weather, it was school notifications.

Don't get me wrong,they are very useful. Sometimes...

" We'll just tell our cousin, Kc to force you to come" Madison said flipping her hair as if they had won the argument. I rolled my eyes at them as I picked up my bag from the floor, ready to go for my next class.

They aren't even real cousins pheesh. Just because your parents were old friends doesn't mean your related.

They're a whole different race from her.

I start walking to my next class, hoping they wouldn't follow me.

Keyword on hoping.

They continued following me, even having the nerves to suggest an outfit to wear for the party they knew I wouldn't attend.

Like, it's me, I don't need help on how to dress. I could wear rags and everyone will still flaunt over me,

I scoffed, rolling my eyes as I continued walking.They looked like little duck babbling while following their mother duck.

I never understood why they always wanted me to go for things like this, knowing full on well that I'll have all the attention and they know I don't like attention. I don't know what goes through their heads.

Fortunately, I spotted the devil herself coming out from the abandoned art class that she 'claimed' more like stole. I saw her lock the door like she did everytime, hiding the key in her pockets of her baggy pants. People always wanted to steal the key for their fricklefrackle so she always hid it or gave it to me to keep cause she looses braincells every second.

I rushed over to her trying to get rid of her so called cousins. She spots me and quickly tosses the key to me as I hide it in my sweater sleeve for now. She took off one of her headphones and looked at me weirdly.

" Why do you look like that?" she asked me.

As I was about to answer, I heard koko scream like a child" HI COUSIN!"

I signed as I saw them rushing over to Kc grabbing and pinching her cheeks like they haven't seen her in years. Even went as far as to kiss her cheeks making smacking sounds, Kc trying to push them off. She wasn't a fan of all the affection they gave but when did that ever stop these girls.

I watched them interact with each other. Kc laughing as they lectured her again about how stained her clothes were with paint. Their faces contorting showing how displeased they were to even touch her. The sight was quite something.

I wouldn't judge them though. That girl couldn't be clean for 5 minutes. She changes like three times a days due their scolding. They even got her an overall but it seems the paint's attracted to her Carmel skin.

"so what were you guys doing" she said quickly trying to divert the question so they wouldn't force her to change again. I rolled my eyes, scrunching my face in disgust, wondering why I'm friends with her.

"oh yh, I forgot. Aelinae doesn't want to go for Jasper's party" Madison said stretching the Aelinae.

I rolled my eyes at her antics waiting for Kc to tell them off nicely only for her to turn against me.
"Why do you want her to go o badly?" she asked pushing her nest out of her face.

"Oh. Yeah so... Jasper has a crush on her and he said if we can get her to come, he'll pay for our nails" Madison explains, "and you know we can't be having crusty nails", Koko adds, justifying their actions as if they didn't just sell me to some boy again.

"You guys shouldn't- well actually, that's a good reason" Kc says agreeing with them, making me scowl at them. Walking past them, I head to my class, putting the key in my backpack. I heared Kc shout from where she was standing.

"You realise we still have like twenty minutes before class starts!"

"Stop talking to me!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was our last class. I sat at my regular seat which was in the middle. I liked getting the full view of what the teacher says. Though as he Mr. Phillip teaches, I hear people snickering at the back.

I turn around to see Kc looking bored, like the epitome of boredom. I squint my eyes as I noticed the headphones she slyly put as he used her big frizzy hair to cover it.

Unlike her, I actually had to listen. Well at least to some extent. I was naturally smart so I always got A's in my classes. Looking down at my table, I see a folded piece of paper, already knowing the content on the paper, I place it inside my book.

I wasn't in the mood to read some poorly written love poem. No matter how much I say I'm not interested, the letters, gifts and cards still keep coming.

I focus back on class, jotting down the important thing until of course, someone interrupts the class. It was senior year after all, there was nothing new to expect.

So of course someone bashes the door open- disrupting the whole class in the process- waking up the fallen student and snapping their lost souls back to earth.

Everyone looks at the intruder who lo and behold was the great Luka coming to class as if he didn't just cause a havoc disruption from the class.

Well that's the end of class, so much for the introduction to biochemistry.

The rest of class was basically Luka trying to explain himself while the class laughed and the teacher screamed the little hair he had off as he scolds him, Luka looking at Kc for help as she mouths proper apologies to used on Mr. Phillip instead of the nonsense he was saying.

I pack my things knowing that class is practically over. I see others motioning me as they all got up to escape the class while the teacher doesn't show any interest in us as he continues his rant about not getting paid enough or something.

After I left class I spotted Juanita at the opposite end of the hallway, coming from her class. She was small so it was cute seeing her trying to get to me. I only noticed her because of the red huge hoodie she wore that swallowed her.

She looked like those caution signs you see when there's water on the floor. Probably because she was so small, people didn't see her well and well, we probably lost her a couple of times so I think she wears it so people can at least see her as a sign and move.

Funny thing about Juanita is that she's the only girl in her family and all her brothers are as huge as football players and she's older than all of them- still rocking her 4'7 self. She had blond hair with her bangs that almost covered her glasses. If you couldn't tell, she was my favorite.

I see her in the middle until she's lifted into the air like a doll. I hear her yelp probably surprised from someone lifting her up from nowhere. I look down to see a mop of long brown hair already knowing it was Daemon who lifted her up laughing at the scared Juanita.

This guys has a death wish. You'd think he'll learn by now but no...

"let me down you retarded nematode" Juani roars at him angrily. Her small body trying to hold him so she doesn't fall, contradicting herself.

"It's not safe for you to stand in the middle of the hall all alone" he coos at her like he's talking to a child while snickering as he reaches the end of the hallway heading to the caferteria for lunch. Meanwhile Juani stays there fuming.

This isn't the first and sadly won't be the last that this will happen. They always babied Juanita because of her small state. Sometimes it can be for good reasons but now, this is just plain stupidity.

I actually feel bad for Daemon now. He's enjoying this but once he lets her down, he's a goner.

I see Kc coming behind me with Luka as they watch the scenes as we all head for lunch. When we get to our seats, we see the others waiting for us, all stopping to see Daemon and Juanita.

"you can drop me now Daemon..... just like how your scores continue to drop" she muttered the last part to herself but I still heard her as I burst into laugther with the rest of us leaving Daemon lost.

Him proudly being the stupid one decides its fun to throw Juani up and down like some toys while she screams gathering attention from everyone as she try to grab anything her small hands can.

Funny how we can all see this happening and not do a single thing about it. Some friends we are... well the hell are the teachers.

"Daemon drop her"

Well, guess I spoke too soon

Jordan says not even paying him a glance. When Daemon finally drops her, Juanita dangling trying to gain cousciousness, Jordan finally looks up at us with his freaky eyes.

Jordan is very skilled in basketball, some say he can see the whole court because of his mismatched eyes which is really dumb. One eye is deep blue while the other is forest green, it matches his curly brown hair and tall figure but he always looks down cause he doesn't like people staring at his eyes.

So when Jordan gives you his bad eyes, that means you've entered serious trouble.

I take Juani to her sits so she calms down as she turned slightly red sitting next to Jordan.

They had the dumbest relationship. Juanita being head over heels for Jordan since freshman year and him knowing she likes him because he likes her too but Jordan having too much pride, never showing the girl his feelings leaving Juanita a blushing mess hoping one day he'll reciprocate her feelings for him.

Hmm tough, couldn't be me.

As lunch continues, we all eat together, all meaning Kc and Luca who sat together while I sat with the triplets: Daemon, Daelan and Daevon who sat with Juanita and Jordan who sat with Tobias. Our friend group was not surprisingly seclusive. Most times Kc and Luka wouldn't sit with us. They were always together doing something or the other.

We spend the rest of lunch arguing about whether apple sauce was considered jam, me obviously winning the argument until we heard someone screech. We all looked at Daemon knowing it was his voice, watching in confusion as he slumps out of his seat to the ground crunched up holding his baby making tool.

All eyes go to Juanita as she continues her sandwich with an innocent smile on her face.
