Flora's p.o.v

The bell had already rang and i dashed towards Mr.Boomers class to get my board. after i got it back, i went outside and saw Martin lean against the wall near the stairs. i walked up to him.

"what are you doing here?" I asked crossing my arms. he smiled and looked at me with his charming honey eyes.

"Is that any way to talk to someone who helped you?" he asked mocking my movement.

"sorry..." I placed my arms down guilty. he laughed

"its okay, how you been the past months?"

"fine i guess, i stayed away from others" i admit. he nodded his head understanding "anything about the guys?" i asked. he looked behind me as if someone was there. i turned and saw Ben looking down at us, confused. hope he didn't hear too much...

"I'll look for you tomorrow, I'll inform you with anything you want to ask" Martin walked away. i walked to where the street began and got on my board.

"wait!" Ben called. i looked at him. "what were you two talking about? who was that?" he asked.

"its none of your business" and that was true. good thing Martin saw him before we talked more about the gang.

"you're right..." he scratched his head awkwardly. "Want a ride?" he smirked

"I got a board" i informed showing him my board with a Paris print on the bottom.

"i see that, your last name matches your board. like your name to your shirt" he laughed. i rolled my eyes while getting on my board. i felt him grab my wrist.

"Come on...let me give you a ride" he smiled instead of a smirk or grin. my face felt a little warm. i snatched my arm away.

"i said no" i skated away.

Benjamin's P.o.v

I walked towards my English 3 class with a teacher named Mrs.Martinez. i had went through recording eq, studio managenent, algebra 2, physics, Music 101, and now going to my last class before early release. yes! freedom before the bell rings!

I saw Tyler sitting on his seat playing with a pencil between his lips and nose. I took the empty desk right next to him "sup man" i greeted, putting my backpack on my desk. he looked at me with a raised eye brow amused

"dude, you should know thats Flora's seat" he laughed. so this is Floras seat, this could get interesting

"really? this could get interesting" i repeated my thoughts. He rolled his eyes again leaning back on his chair.

"You're in my seat" i heard Flora say. i looked at her and was completely surprised. the eye that was visible was a silver-blue color. it was... just wow. my heart hurt for a second for some reason "you have pretty eyes" i grinned. she didn't seem to like my comment.

"I said you're in my seat" she reminded with annoyance in her voice

"so?" i laughed wanting to mess with her.

"so get off"

"Why don't you make me, flower?" i smirked. Everyone was starring at us, i didn't care but Flora seem to.

"screw you" she hissed as she walked towards another desk. my jaw dropped in a smile.

"That girl does not act like a nerd at all" i laughed to Tyler,

"dude, you so like her" he laughed

"yeah right, i wont be caught dead going out with her, shes a nerd"

"then consider yourself dead because you like her"

"whatever man, so where we gonna go get pizza?" i asked.

"At Mimi's pizza & restaurant in **** lexington ave. mind if my friends come too?" he asked.

"sure, i don't see why not, you invited me"

The whole class time we were told we had to make up a fictional story, i suck at making stories up! hell, i suck at lying! so this paper is going to be an issue. the bell rang and Flora ran out the room.

"what was that about?" i asked Tyler.

"she goes back to Mr.Boomers class to get her board and leave, she has early release" he said grabbing his bag.

"how do you know so much about her? did you two go out or something?" i asked. the whole class laughed including Tyler. were they listening to our conversation??

"No, not at all" he laughed calming down "i have 5 out of 7 classes with her. you pick up a few things" he said as we walked out the classroom.

i saw Brandy walk towards me with her high heels, black skirt and her tight white shirt. i crossed my arms.

"hey Ben" she greeted with her "sexy" voice. "there's a party at my place this Friday, wanna come?" she asked. "You can even invite your little friend here and who ever you want" she said gazing at Tyler, alittle disgusted.

"i don't know, what do you say Ty?" I asked.

"i guess" was all he said. Brandy rolled her eyes.

"see you Friday" she winked, walking away with her butt swinging side to side dramatically

"You sure you really wanna go?" i laughed.

"hell yeah man! believe it or not, I'm a party animal!" He laughed raising his arms in a party way,

"i'll believe it when i see it, alright man, see you at six?" i asked.

"sounds good" we exchanged our handshakes and walked away from each other. i walked towards the exit and saw Flora talking with some guy with a leather coat and black skinny jeans. he looked like bad news

"What are you doing here?" she asked crossing her arms. he smiled at her

"is that any way to talk to someone who helped you?" he asked mocking her movement. helped her with what?

"sorry..." she dropped her arms. He laughed

"its okay, how you been the past months?"

"fine i guess, i stayed away from others" she admit. what? she avoid people in purpose? but why? guy nodded

"anything about the guys?" she asked. what guys?? The guy noticed me. Flora turned to look at me. oops! play it cool!

"I'll look for you tomorrow, I'll inform you with anything you want to asked" he walked away. Flora got on her board.

"wait!" i called. she looked at me annoyed "what were you two talking about? who was that?" i asked. she narrowed her eyes.

"its none of your business" i realize that she was right, it wasn't my business

"you're right..." I scratch my head over my beanie. i looked over at my black motor bike "want a ride?"

"I got a board" she showed me the print of the bottom. "i see that, your last name matches your board, like your name to your shirt" i laughed trying to be funny. she didn't seem to be amused and got back on her board. i quickly grabbed her wrist before she jolted away.

"Come on...let me give you a ride" i smiled. a hint of pink appeared on her cheeks, was she blushing?

"i said no" she said simply and skated away.

messing with her is going to be fun, i got on my bike and left home. where my mom is probably burning some food again...i better buy some takeout for her and tell her about the pizza place later

Flora's P.o.v

I finally got home, i was greeted by Rosa at the gates. she wore a Pink ribbon around her neck with a note attach to it. i took it off and read it.

"Flora. Im off to a meeting with my co workers. i put my credit card on the table so you can go and buy yourself something to eat, be careful, love you

-mom"

I walked to my room and changed my clothes to a casual black dress with a brown belt above the waist. my black boots, my green vest, and pulled my hair down to full curls. my favorite part of letting my hair down. minus the painful root pulling

I grabbed the card off the table and skated all the way towards *** 72nd st. and ordered myself a grilled cheese sandwich. i love their food, but not as much as moms of course.

As my order arrived. i silently ate my food, looking through tumblr with my white iPhone. The door to the cafe rang, i couldn't believe my eyes as i saw Ben walked in and ordered take out.

i ducked my head so he wont see me. but it was too late "hey" he smiled. fuck... "I'm Benjamin and you are?" he asked as sat down across from me. i blinked confused, did he not recognize me? yes! The power of disguises! he doesn't know that this is my regular clothing.

"I'm...Rosa" i used my usual fake name...which was my dogs name

He laughed "really? you don't seem sure" he raised his brows

"yup! yeah, I'm sure!" i said awkwardly. Why was i getting nervous around him? "you have pretty eyes, they look like my friends"...we are not friends for his information!

"thanks" i smiled continuing to eat my food.

"how old are you?" He asked.

"17"

"cool, so am i, what school you go to?"... I thought of the first school that comes to mind

"Xavier High" i lied.

"I go to Bronco high, it was my first day" he admit.

"really? how was it?" was i really having a conversation with this guy?

"it was cool, i got a new friend named Tyler, and Flora, although I'm not sure if i can actually make her open up" that wasn't happening "but I'm not going to give up, a normal nerd doesn't hiss at you whenever you try to talk to them. shes different... and no, I'm not planning on going out with her" i laughed "you laugh pretty" he smiled.

"Whatever, i gotta go, i got a play date with my puppy" i grabbed my board trying to hide the design. he grabbed my wrist. "Can i give you a ride?" he smiled. i stared at his blue-brown eyes, they seemed to draw me in.

"sure..." i found myself saying. God...

"great" his order was ready and he paid "lets go" we walked out and i saw his motor bike ...no..

"Uhh, sorry i decided to just use my board" i hopped on it

"what? why?" he questioned before he put on his helmet, he turned the bike on, i flinched and covered my mouth and nose, i cant let the smoke get close to me

"sorry!" i dashed as fast i could to my house and slammed the gates shut and ran inside. i think i lost him...it was the first time talking to a regular classmate like normal...it was nice, sure it was with the cocky bad boy, but it was still nice to be myself instead of acting like a bitch to others at school.

Rosa, my dog, not my fake name, greeted me as i walked towards my room. i jumped on my bed and Rosa joined me cuddling next to my boot. its only wednesday 6:00 in evening, what could i do all day? i stood up "hey girl! wanna go and have some fun!?" i asked Rosa in baby talk. she jumped wagging her tail uncontrollably. we ran off to the field to play.

Benjamin's p.o.v

I was confused on how fast that girl skated off, why did she leave? we were having a good conversation. she was pretty... she looked like Flora, but Flora is nothing like her. only thing that was similar was her eyes and hair. but they cant be the same person.

i dropped off the take out for my mom. turns out that she really did burn the food, good thing i knew her so well that i knew when to buy it.

i drove all the way to mimi's were Tyler was waiting at a table with a 4 other guys. They all look like they had different personalities, how are all they his friends?

one was sipping his drink with his elbows on the table laughing with everyone, he had black emo boy hair with snake bites and tattoos.

Another was standing up, leaning a foot next to the tattoo boy smiling resting his arms on his leg. He had wild messy black hair with a cocky looking smile with his beard growing out after a weeks shave.

another was sitting next to Ty, he looked like Brandy but in boy version, he looked friendly with a basic style.

next to him was a guy with heavy looking eyes, I'm guessing he's a stoner judging the way he moves, but other then all those different looks, everyone looks nice

"Sup Ty?" i asked giving him a handshake.

"hey man, these are my friends. The emo looking guy is Julian, he's an artist" he explained i gave Julian a friendly handshake "Tino right next to me is Brandy's brother, they are twins but are total opposites, he's a designer for men's clothing".

"i heard my sis was trying to put a move on you, (laughs) she could be such a real slut, so you should stay far from her from preventing to get hurt, physically...shes phyco" he whispered laughing. i nodded agreeing

"the guy with the messy hair standing up is Joshua, he plays base".

"yeah, i recognize him from music class" i said.

"The guy that looks like he's high and about to fall in any second is Ivan, he's a drummer, he doesn't go to our school, and everyone this is the new kid Benjamin, he's a song writer and singer from what he told me" Ty introduced me

I sat next to him greeting everyone. "so wait...these guys doesn't look like they have much in common with you, how are you all friends?" I asked. they all looked at each other.

"funny story" Joshua laughed

"I'm all ears" i laughed.

"there's a nerd at school named Flora, the five of us weren't friends at the time, but we all were at the park at the same time. Julian and I saw Flora riding her skate board, so we decided to tease her and throw her off of it. she landed close to Tino and Tyler. Ivan was just a random dude that happened to be by all of us. Tino and Tyler helped her up. i realized that messing her was our biggest mistake" he crossed his arms. this story was getting interesting...

"why?" I asked. he leaned closer to the table

"lets just say, Julian and I didn't see daylight for 3 days" he whispered laughed. i laughed loudly

"oh my God how?".

"she ran towards them and beat them up badly, Julian had a black eye and Joshua was punched in the crouch" Tino laughed with Tyler.

"yeah, we had to rush them to the hospital and shit, blah blah blah, we became friends" Ivan finished drinking his drink.

Damn...little Flora did that? i underestimated her. "but guys, he likes Flora" Tyler laughed. my face felt hot

"ohhhh!!" the guys laughed.

"i do not!" i argued "shes the last person i would ever go out with" i admit. they rolled their eyes

"Even if you did, you have no chance with her, shes impossible" Tino smiled.

"little Tino got his heart broken after she refused to go out with him, thats why Brandy hates her guts" Tyler said wrapping his arms around Tino playfully. He blushed embarrassed.

"Now enough about us, what about you?" Julian asked me, i tilted my head confused "got yourself a special lady besides your little Flora?" he laughed.

"First of all, Flora is not my special lady" i informed.

"yeah, he already got all the girls in school drooling all over him" Tyler said as two different pizzas arrived to our table.

"Can i get you boys anything else?" a bleach blond waitress asked. i raised my finger "can i get a sprite?" i asked. she nodded winking at me ,walking off.

"i think she wants you bro " Ivan grinned taking a slice of green pepper and mushroom pizza, eww..

"not interested" i said as the waitress comes back with my water and her phone number and walked off with another wink. i shrugged and put the number in my pocket. the guys laughed.

After i ate four slices of pepperoni i finally spoke up "so Ivan, since you don't go to our school, where do you go?" I asked. he took a sip of his drink before he could speak

"Xavier high" he admit. i choked on my food, Tyler patted my back until i was okay "what happened?" Ivan asked surprised

"sorry, i was kinda surprised ...do you happen to know a girl named Rosa, she has light curly brown hair with silver-blue eyes?" i asked.

"nope, there's no girl at my school like that, and i would know" he said "why?"

"because i was getting take out for my mom and i found a cute fine girl at where i was getting it, we had a good conversation, but as soon as i turned on my bike to get her home, she dashed away" i explained.

"Silver-blue eyes and light brown hair? you sure you weren't talking to Flora?" Tino asked

"no way man, this girl was beyond more prettier and more open then Flora was" i admit.

"well, she must've lied about what school she went to because she doesn't go to my school" Ivan said, sigh...

We all finished the pizza , split our bill and exchanged phone numbers. i rode home and was super tired, i got 5 new friends today, not including Flora, who apparently kicked Julio and Joshua's ass. that was pretty damn cool how she defended herself. i gotta make this girl open up. and i hope i can find Rosa and ask her why she lied to me about what school she goes to, i don't see why she would lie. i get the stranger danger in New york ,but its not like i asked her where she lived.

i got home and saw my mom sleeping on the couch, i found the nearest blanket, put it on her, kissed her forehead and went to bed.
