A. Queen

You Are Valedictorian.

When I woke up, I decided I would wear a sleeveless light pink dress with a pink sweater and black heels. No make-up, and my hair will be wavy. If I want to get out of the place I'm in, I might as well look cute doing it. When I walked out of my Room, I held my head high. Then I walked to the Kitchen and saw him. I saw him look at me and he whispered " Wow. " I grinned and grabbed an apple and ate it as I walked to school.

At school, I saw popular girls glaring at me. I smiled at them. I got, smiles back. Then I saw James staring at me by my Locker. I let out a quiet sigh as I walked over to him.

" Hi James. How may I help you? " I asked, James cheerfully.

" You look beautiful, Aria. Wow just wow. " James said, I rolled my eyes and walked away.

Halfway through class, I got called to the Office. When I got there I walked into the  Principal's office. " Aria, I'm going to get straight to business. You are valedictorian. " The Principal said. I nodded my head and headed back to class.

After school I headed to the Mall. I need to do Christmas Shopping. In the end:

Allen - Name plack.

Will - A watch.

Mark - Tshirt.

Austin - Prank stuff.

Ace - A lanyard.

Ken - Pride and Prejudice.

Justin - A pic of all of us.

Thomas - A dreamcatcher.

James - A hat that says I hate people.

I feel pretty good about my gift, Christmas is only a week away. I hid all the gifts before going to bed.

I woke up and it's Friday. After today we have no more school until January 3rd. Yay. So I quickly got my friend's gift and hurried to go to school.

After what felt like an eternity after school, the boys showed. Yay. I gave Ken his gift first and he got so excited he ran through school saying 'I met the love of my love.' It was funny as hell. Then I gave Thomas his gift and he gave me a rare hug. Then came Justin, once Justin opened his he cried a little. Then came James, he looked at the hat then said " I only hate teachers. " I just walked away, a bit hurt. I didn’t bother looking back when James yelled. And I went, 'home' and wrapped my 'Brothers' gifts.

A few hours later, I heard my phone go off. I didn’t feel like talking to anyone, so I declined the call. It was J that was calling. Then my phone went off. J texted me.

Aria, are you okay? You never decline my calls. - J.

Yeah, just having an off day. Don’t worry J. - Aria.

I always worry about you Aria. And I always will. - J.

I know. And I always worry about you too. - Aria. I sighed, shutting off my phone. Then I went to bed and went to bed.

I woke up from a banging noise. So I got and went to investigate the noise. It was just Ace, getting covered in paint. Ace looked over at me, and I just shrugged. Then I saw a mischievous glint in his eyes. I just walked away. I didn’t want any drama right now. I went back to my room and not even 2 minutes later Lucas entered. I just rolled my eyes.

“ Aria, I want to ask you something. '' Lucas said, I nodded my head, beginning to do Gang work. “ I want to know why you, you fight to be in our custody. Not Fathers? “ Lucas asked, as I looked up.

“ Your Father walked out on me. Sure ‘Mother’ wasn’t better but at least she was there. He got up and left. ‘Mother’ turned to drugs but stayed. “ I said, watching Lucas’s reaction.

“ That’s all? “ Lucas asked, I sighed and closed my Laptop.

“ No, Lucas. He could have stayed and saved me so much pain. “ I said, with a sad tone.

“ You know how to fight, you could have saved yourself. “ Lucas argued, it kinda true but he doesn’t know anything other than I was Abused and r***d. So I understand where he’s coming from. I just grabbed my Laptop and left, without saying anything to him. It’s not like I’m going to leave the house. Just going to the living Room. Once I got there I sat down on the ground, only to be interrupted by my Sperm Donor. I groaned, I wanted to work! What the fork!! “ Yes? “ I asked, not bothering to look up again.

“ We are having some bonding time! ” He said, happly. I looked at him saying ‘Nope’. Then I got back to work.

A few hours I finished my work. Great! I have nothing to do and I’m so bored! And it’s only 2:00pm. Then Allen entered the Room and sat at the nearest couch. “ Aria, are you done working? “ Allen asked.

“ Depends, why you're asking. '' I said, getting up the stretch. Allen smirked.

“ I just wanted to talk about your conversation with Lucas. “ Allen said, watching my reaction. Normally I would be pissed but I know Lucas would report to Allen.

“ Why? “ I asked, wanting to know his angle.

“ Aria, you are still hiding something. “ Allen said, stating the obvious.

“ Okay. “ I said, I really don’t care right now. Wait! When have I ever cared about what they know? Never!

“ Aria, what happened when you were mad at us? “ Allen said, looking at me worriedly.

“ You said, were as in past tense. I’m still a bit mad but I now understand where you were coming from. “ I said, trying not to think about James. Allen groaned, clearly not happy about me changing the subject.

“ Aria, stop changing the subject. “ Allen said, annoyed.

“ I don’t know what you're talking about. “ I said, looking at Allen innocently. Then Allen got up super annoyed yelling to someone saying “ I’m done, your next! “ I had to suppress my laughter. Allen gave up just like that though hurt me. I don’t know why. Maybe because I’m getting to know them more. I thought as My Sperm Donor entered the Room. I felt like bolting but I wanted to know what this is about. I looked over at him, why does he have to be her? I don’t need him. I just really wanted to watch Grey's Anatomy right now. But then I don’t want to watch George die again. “ You gonna speak? I know I’m beautiful but not beautiful enough to make you speechless. “ I said, coldly. I think I’m growing colder everyday.

“ Aria, I want to get to know you. Why won't you let me? “ He said, faking being hurt. I know he was not being playful.

“ I don’t like you. “ I said, walking away from the longest conversation I plan on having with my Sperm Donor.
