Chapter six

All through the night while Ariana slept like a baby, Ray could not get any sleep. He could not help but think about Ariana. This girl was making him feel things. Besides, she wasn't even a friend of his. They were both sworn enemies. 

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

The next morning,

    " Where were you?" Ariana asked

" Actually, there was traffic so I decided to stay back in order not to bother you" he explained.

" Being a gentleman huh" Ariana teased. " Well, I ordered pizza for you. I'm on my way. It's Friday so I'll be home late, we have P.E classes today" she said and dropped the hair brush on the table.

" Hmmmm. Don't you think this hairstyle of yours is a little weird?" Max asked Ariana.

" No. I always brush my hair like this to school and people say they like it." Ariana told him feeling her hair.

" Well, I personally don't like it and I can't have my best friend looking like a moron" he said and laughed. He always enjoyed teasing her.

" Hey. You'll pay for that" Ariana said and threw a pillow at him.

" You did not just throw a pillow at me" he threw another pillow at her.

       Before they knew it, a pillow fight began. They were o engrossed in throwing pillows that they they didn't know that the glass of water Ariana had with her had fallen and the water in it had spilled over the tiles.

       As Ariana was running to hit Max with her pillow, she slipped on the water and as she was about to fall, Max broke her fall but they both fell and Max landed on Ariana just like in the movies.

" Okay. What's going on" Beatrice asked after walking in.

" It's you." Ariana said signalling for Max to get off her. Max quickly got off her.

" Excuse me" Max said and left.

" So, what's going on between you and this guy?" Beatrice asked.

" Nothing. We're just close friends" Ariana said.

* Haha, close friends. Come on, let's go so we don't miss first class". Beatrice said

" Hold on I have to fix my hair" Ariana said.

"Why? Your hair's great. Who said your hair's not good" Beatrice asked.

" Well, it was Max. He said I looked like a moron with my blonde hair" Ariana said brushing her hair.

" Why do you care so much about his comments? He's just your friend" Beatrice asked adjusting her makeup.

" Why are you adjusting your makeup" Ariana answered with a question.

" I'm adjusting it so I can look attractive to Ray." Beatrice said.

" Oh the same Ray. The same one who stole a kiss from me" Ariana soliloquised.

" Did you say something?" Beatrice asked

" No. I didn't. Infact, you are right." She dropped the hair brush. " Let's go, we're running late" she carried her bag.

" Hey, do you perhaps have some soda in the refrigerator?" Beatrice asked.

" We should. That's of Max hasn't finished it all" Ariana said.

" I'll go check" Beatrice said heading for the kitchen.

" Get some for me too." Ariana pleaded.

" Kk" Beatrice said. " Come on let's go" Beatrice said after she'd gotten the soda and they both left.
