HORSES don't do romance 1

Walking down the Hallway with my head held up high. I was wearing the school uniform which consisted of a camel coloured flared skirt that falls a little above my mid thigh, paired with a matching sleeveless sweater,A brown blazer and a matching knee socks and a black Mary jane. My long brown hair is pulled back into a ponytail.

As I walk, I can feel the eyes of the other students on me. My smirk is subtle,but it conveys a sense of satisfaction and confidence as the other students move to the side giving me a wide berth. I'm not just a student - I'm a force to be reckoned with. They may envy me but they respect me....they fear me.

I found Tessa and Delilah resting their shoulders beside some other kid's locker, It seemed like there was a spotlight above their head as it wasn't difficult spotting them, it's NEVER difficult spotting them even in the crowd.Now let me describe these bundle of perfection for you.

Delilah Frost - or as people call her "The devil" which I doubt she even know. But instead of a horn and probably an ugly face with a permanent frown, Delilah is "Beauty" itself. always having a smug look which I'm very certain is because she know the effect she has on people. the old,young and even Dogs!...actual Dogs!!!trust me... there's a story behind that one.

Her flaming red hair billow around her like a Halo of fire,but her icy blue eyes betray a cold heart. I mean seriously, we won't admit it though but the girls and I are a little bit scared of her. okay alot

speaking of the other girls meet

Tessa Williams - also known as well.....'Tessa'. her dad is one of the biggest sponsors in the school and well let's just say, It's bad enough being a scholarship kid in HORSE academy, just don't be sponsored by Tessa's dad.

She lean against the locker, blowing bubbles with her gum as usual and tapping away on her phone. Her black hair is perfectly styled and not a strand out of place. Her makeup is flawless, and her nails were freshly manicured. she seemed completely engrossed with her phone,but her brown eyes darted up every so often to scan the hallway, just........ don't look at her eyes for more than a second. on a second thought...just don't look at her.

Delilah's eyes lit up when she saw me coming towards them but I couldn't help but notice Chloe also coming towards them.

Chloe Stewart - also known as "Blair". an example of 'innocent' beauty just, there's nothing innocent about this blonde beauty walking down the hallway. she's as mean as they come and also well....not that pretty when it comes to intelligence. I'm tempted to but I won't use the word 'dumb' on one of my best friends.

Chloe sauntered down the hallway with a haughty air, her perfectly coiffed hair and designer clothes drawing the attention of everyone around her. her lips were pursed in a perpetual pout, and her eyes darted around, taking in every detail of her surrounding with critical gaze which softened when her eyes landed on the girls.

"oh my goodness Paris, totes rocking those shoes" Chloe said as soon we got to the locker almost at the same time.

"Thanks girl and is that a new....nose??" I bent my head slightly to the left squinting my eyes.

"oh yes... it's an early birthday gift from Dad" she spoke really excitedly, Tessa rolled her eyes and I thought I heard her mutter a "not again" under her breath and Delilah nudged Tessa slightly on the shoulder.

Chloe is very..."Acquainted" with going under the knife. she always does a plastic surgery every holiday we get. I think she has done her nose twice now, not like there was ever a problem with the first. She's done so much surgeries I bet a hundred bucks she never uses hot water for a bath or even get close to hot water.

"my favorite people in the world!!''

we turned towards the very familiar voice and just as we thought, it was Sam.

Sam Blake: also known as 'sam'. He wasn't a 'queen' obviously, He fell under the category of The 'kings' of HORSE academy but he's always hanging out with us and that's a good thing because,if you wanted first hand gossip,Sam got you covered.

He walks down the hallway with a swagger, his green-tinted hair catching the light as he moved. His multiple piercings glinted in the fluorescent lights, adding to his edgy appearance. He was good-looking in a rugged, unconventional way, and his eyes held a mischievous sparkle. And just like the others

yes! he is a trouble maker.

"Sam,looking good" I raised my hands for a high five but instead he walked up to me and gave me a kiss on my left cheek "or..you can just do that" I said awkwardly.

He walked up to Chloe and Tessa and also gave them a kiss on their cheeks he walked up to Delilah and was about to do same when she pointed her right index fingers to his face.

"put those lips on my face and that would be the last place it will ever be"she spoke drily.

"like you want it to be the last place it will ever be huh?" he winked which earned him a signature glare from her. "you guys got my text right?" he asked

"about the girl who attempted suicide? isn't that like old fashioned?" Chloe said "don't people like..get their Boyfriends to get them drunk at the back of the truck and kill them or something...like that's way cooler" she added

like I said not the smartest kid

"well....you girls were pretty hard on her last year so yeah... people think you girls were the reason behind her action,I mean I don't doubt it though" he raised both hands mid air like he was being accused.

"well you should doubt it!!.... isn't that the Taylor kid? the only thing I remember us doing was getting her to get our stuff from the cafeteria and doing crazy dances for our laugh,I mean that was it. right guys?" I looked at the girls but they seem to be avoiding my gaze.

"well......we may have made her eat burger from the trash can" Delilah said still trying to avoid my gaze.

"And we may have taken her to the alley to throw paint balloons at her... look it was just once....every week" Chloe added

"what!....when did you girls do all that?" I felt kind of bad because I didn't know if I was pissed off that they had to put a poor girl through all that torture or because I felt left out.

"that was just the middle of last semester,you know.....when your mum grounded you so you couldn't hang out with us after school" Tessa spoke with her head still on her phone.

"and what kind of parent ground their kids?

isn't that like illegal?" Chloe asked wide-eyed

No Chloe that's called parenting,but of course I wasn't going to tell her that.

"she's in school now though, she's a scholarship kid so of course she wasn't going to take chances with..." Sam stopped when saw Delilah's evil smirk "what are you thinking?" he asked

"since we didn't pay her a visit after that unfortunate incident,that makes us a really bad person" Delilah said with an exaggerated 'nice' voice "let's go pay her a visit at the cafeteria....at lunch break"

there was a mischievous glint in her eyes as she said those words,I knew immediately that this wasn't going to be good....oh boy.

I opened my mouth about to say something but got interrupted by the sharp sound of the bell indicating the beginning of first period.

"alright girls, see you around" Sam said with his hands in his pocket as he strolled away.

the girls and I turned and headed to class with the same charisma we came in with. And I couldn't help but wonder what Delilah had in mind, I Know Delilah wasn't going to go to the girl with Flowers and cards...well except the girl has pollen allergy.

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

As we walked into the cafeteria, we exuded an air of confidence and self-assurance. We were aware of the effect we had on the other students, and we took a certain pride in it.

The cafeteria was a jungle, with students from all different social groups vying for dominance. The 'kings', 'queens', and 'jocks' were the apex predators.I could see the Kings sitting at their tables like they owned the place. But even though it was the scariest place in the school, it was my favorite.

I marched up to the girl sitting at our table, a girl I recognized from the drama club. I knew she was way out of her league, but she had the audacity to stay seated. With a glare, I snapped, "Scram!" The girl's eyes widened and she stood up too slow for my liking, casting a glance at my friends. She made her way to another table calculating her steps_get this,she wasn't running or making quick steps to hint fear and for some reason, the girls didn't even care.... that's wierd.

we dropped our tray on the table and all of a sudden Delilah's eyes lit up as she spotted Taylor, and she stood up from her seat. We all stood in unison, as if on cue. We followed Delilah as she made her way to the nervous girl, who was just beginning to rise from her seat. But Tessa stopped her with a firm hand on her shoulder. The girl's eyes darted between us, her face pale with fear.

"Hey girl,it's been a while...did you miss us?" Delilah said as she say beside the poor girl and rested her chin on her hand.

"we heard the about the little incident that happened..." Tessa said as her eyes darted towards the girl's wrist which had cut marks "let me see" Tessa was about to touch her wrist when the girl quickly dragged the sleeve of her blazer to cover her wrist.

"was this because of us?" Delilah pouted .

"Don't flatter yourselves" Taylor spoke up finally.

"so tell us...why hurt yourself when we could always do that for you?" Delilah said as she pushed the girl's black hair behind her ear and I swear I saw the girl flinch.

"Delilah" I called.

"Did you also notice how insignificant you are and how much good you will do the world if you just stop using oxygen?" Delilah continued.

"Delilah" I called again

This time Delilah held her hair and whispered words into her ear not loud enough for us to hear.

"Delilah! stop it already!" I said raising my voice as I yanked her hand away from Taylor's hair.

Delilah looked at me intently as I saw a flash of Anger in her eyes. Just then I noticed something about the way she looked at me,it wasn't her signature glare but worse she looked me the way she look at the other horses.like I was, nothing.

Delilah finally stood up and walked to our table, we took our seats again and I saw the kings/Jocks approaching from the corner of my eye. As usual, Noah Black, The captain of the basketball team and self-proclaimed 'King of the horses' strutted in front of the pack with that arrogant smirk plastered across his face. okay now here's the drill: Noah Black has been trying to get me to fall for him and probably a night stand with him for ages.... literally!! but I politely keep letting him know how disinterested I am in being one of his many play things in horse academy..... he has never been a relationship person so little wonder why his numerous flings doesn't last a week.

Don't get me wrong though Noah Black is Beautiful, as in dangerously beautiful. When I first laid eyes on him, I was completely captivated. His golden eyes and tousled brown hair were mesmerizing, and his tall, muscular figure was impossible to ignore. His every movement was seductive, and his charming smile could make any girl swoon. He was like a dream come to life, but not my dream. Because even if I admit I had a little crush on him just one time, I would never have anything to do with a guy who have s*x with any beautiful thing on skirt and the worst part is,he treats them like waste bags after he's had s*x with them and yet they still send notes professing their undying love for him, some even go as far as doing the craziest things just to get his attention.sigh.

He slid into the seat next to me so close I could feel the heat radiating off his body. I let out a deep weary sigh and resisted the urge to roll my eyes. He was oblivious to my disdain of course, he thought I'm just trying to play 'hard_to_get'. He was always convinced he was God's gift to women.ugh.

"Hey gorgeous" he smirked.

"Noah" I forced a tight smile which he returned with a leering smirk.

I already lost my appetite, not like I have ever felt like eating the salad on my plate, I excused myself and left the cafeteria.

I headed to the school's garden which was built at the top of the roof... it's kind of a secret thing I do when I want to be alone to think. I actually think the garden is the most beautiful place in the school, I smiled as I walked up to the roses stretching my hand to touch a petal when...

"So this is your hiding spot?"
