The person driving it has long golden hairs flying in the air. She was dressed from head to toe in black.Her perfectly tattoed hands shown from under her rolled sleeves. The hazel eyes craving for more speed and lips with a malicious smile. The bike stopped infront of the huge building of Silverdale High- and from the bike dismounted, "the star of Silverdale High"----- Selena. She parked the bike,and was trying to get in when a teacher said,"Ms Cruz, I expect you to tie your hair, this is not a club." She unwillingly tied her hair into a messy bun and tossed a chewing gum into her mouth. Ben, her childhood friend rushed towards her. "Let's go to class", he said. "You go ahead... See you in five minutes." Ben was quite worried because the first class was of Mr. Oliver who is well known for his anger issues but Ben also knew that if Selena says something, it would be difficult to make her change decisions.So, he nodded. On reaching class, Ben was relieved to see the teacher was not there yet. Selena entered the class in five minutes as promised. She swung her bag across the desk and took over her favorite bench all by herself. Mr. Oliver entered the class with his steel ruler in his one hand and the thick books in the other. With him,entered a boy -He had sharp features, intense eyes, and a smile that appeared slowly but stayed in your mind. His hair stayed perfectly messy, and his strong, vein-lined hands showed he worked hard without needing to prove anything. Quiet, confident, effortlessly handsome. Mr. Oliver coughed twice, " Hello everyone, this is our new transfer student, Adrian Knight. Adrian---- please introduce yourself to the class " Selena was casually leaning across her bench while the other girls of the class were making a chaos. She was least bothered until the boy said, "Hi I am Adrian Knight and I love sports." Sports----that's what Selena loves. She raised one eyebrow and scanned him fron top to bottom. Mr. Oliver asked Adrian to sit down. Ben was thinking "What if.....?"and exactly the same thing happened. The boy stood exactly infront of Selena's bench. Selena was quite unconcerned about it. She ignored him completely and reluctantly took out the chemistry book from her bag. The boy pushed Selena, but little did he know how strong she was. "Sir!I think I might have to stand the whole class", he said seriously. Mr. Oliver asked Selena to move. Selena stood up and said,"Sir, I think it is quite well known to you that I prefer to sit alone and for that I even submitted an appeal to the Principal, which has already been approved by him." Ben looked around. All the students were enjoying the show. Mr. Oliver called the Principal. He came and asked Selena to move. Anger took all over her face meanwhile Adrian smirked. Selena glared at him and let him sit. Ben was surprised when he saw that she kicked him very hard in the leg and his face was deformed in pain but just for a second and he ignored it completely.
