The New Something

RING RING

Angel shifted in her bed, and looked to her side to see her alarm going off. "Ugh"

Angel Perez's POV

I got up slowly out of my comfortable queen size bed, how I wished today wasn't the first day of school. Summer was so much fun and I had even grown an inch taller. I rolled my eyes and headed for the bathroom down the hall.

My name is Angel Perez; I am seventeen years old and today is the first day of my junior year.

I took my usually fifteen minute shower, brushed my teeth and fixed my hair. I love my black hair; I always had on stray bang out. My hair was about shoulder length, that's how I liked it, not too long, not too short. I hated my chest. Compared to some of the cheerleaders I was flat as a board. After I put on my uniform I headed down to the kitchen and I first thing I see is a red blob.

"Freeloading again Gerand?" I said walking into the kitchen referring to the red blob. Gerand had long red hair that was always up in a pony tail and tribal tattoos all over his body. A lot of people assume he is a trouble maker but he actually a really big pushover and my best friend.

"Morning Angel!" He said with his mouth full. He quickly gulped it down. "You know how much I love Mhadz's cooking" He said returning to his plate. Soon my sister Mhadz walked in with a plate of pancakes and sat it down on the table. According to everyone, Mhadz and I looked like twins, except she is taller and nine years older than me.

"No pancakes for me?"I asked noticing the pancakes were not being set in front of me. I gave the best puppy dog eyes I could muster

"Well I suspected you didn't have time to eat since you rarely sit and eat breakfast with us" She said ignoring my puppy dog eyes.

"Yeah Angel, you should eat with us" Gerand added.

"You don't even live here dummy" I retorted. Gerand and I have been friends since diapers. We seriously used to take showers together, we were that close. Gerand parents died when he was fourteen, and since then he has been living on his own. He makes it a routine to come to my home and eat breakfast and sometimes dinner with my family.

"Good morning everyone" a tall man said as he entered the kitchen. "Good morning Franz" Mhadz said giving him a kiss on the lips. He smiled at her then took his seat in front of the pancakes.

"Good morning Mr. Perez" Gerand said respectfully. I smirked at Gerand when he greeted Gerand. He has always been intimated by Gerand.

"Good Morning, brother" I said politely. Franz nodded at both me and Gerand and began to eat his breakfast. Franz is Mhaz's husband. I thought it would be weird living with my older sister and her husband, but Mhadz was the only family I had. Franz is a tall man with gray eyes and long black hair.

Our mother died when I was born due complications. So my dad raised me and my sister on his own. I think my father secretly blamed me for my mother's death. My sister started dating Franz when she was 18. My dad never approved of Franz, probably because he knew Franz was heir to a huge fortune and he thought that Franz had no real feelings for Mhadz . Not too long after Franz proposed to Mhadz, my father died in car accident. mhadz was heartbroken that our father couldn't walk her down the aisle but she still got married and later on she was officially named my guardian.

"Come on Gerand lets go" I said getting my school bag. Gerand quickly obeyed by scarfing down the rest of his food and gulping down his orange juice.

"Thank you Mhadz" He said bowing before making his way to follow me. "I'll see you guys later" I said to them.

"Angel!" My best friend Mush exclaimed when she saw me approaching the school. I smiled and waved at her. Mush and I became friends in the beginning of middle school. Mush was a about my height, which everyone says is short. I don't know why. Mush has dark hair that she always puts in a bun. She is very pretty, considering she never wears makeup. Mush was only girl who was not fake to me because my brother is Franz Perez. She didn't even know who my brother was till the beginning of high school. It's probably because of where I live.

I lived in a normal suburban area. Mhadz did not want to live in some big crazy mansion, but Franz wasn't accustomed to that, so we got a normal 4 bedroom home, but the interior was decorated in Italian and French furniture.

"I can't believe we are juniors" Mush squealed.

"I know, another year closer to getting out of high school" Gerand said happily. All three of us walked into the school courtyard. I looked up to see a big banner that read "WELCOME BACK TO XAVIER HIGH"

I looked around to see the same familiar faces. I even saw the two girls who hated me the most, Cassandra and Fatima.

They are both seniors on the cheerleading team and both of them wanted me dead. Why you ask? Because they both want my boyfriend. Cassandra Sanchez is head cheerleader and one of my mortal enemies. Everyone just call her Cassandra for short. She has blue green hair and brownish grayish eyes. Fatima Rosales is her best friend and second in command for cheerleading. Fatima has dark skin, green eyes, and messy short blonde hair which have three braided locks. Both girls have perfect curved bodies and huge boobs.

"Hey Angel" a voice said to me. It was Engeline Delima . She waved at me and I smiled back. She then joins her two busty friends. Engeline had the same curves as Cassandra and Fatima. Engeline has long, wavy, ginger-colored hair, brown eyes, and full lips. Engeline is also a cheerleader and senior but she didn't act like her two friends. First, Engeline is actually friends with me. I tutored her in chemistry last year and we became friends from there. Second she was not a slut like her friends even though most girls labeled her as one because of the company she keeps.

Cassandra and Fatima quickly scolded Engeline for being nice to me.

"Oh stop it, Angel is a sweetheart" I heard Engeline say before I entered the school building.

We made our way to my locker, Gerand and Mush stood by patiently as I put my stuff away. Gerand was talking about his summer working for the police station and Engeline was talking about hanging out with her neighborhood friend Jonathan, who was a sophomore at the high school.

"Ugh, look who it is" I heard Gerand mutter. I smiled without even looking; I knew who he was referring to. Gerand, actually all my friends, hated my boyfriend, before we started dating my boyfriend was known as the school player, but I didn't care for the rumors, he never gave me a reason not to trust him.

"Hey beautiful" He whispered in my ear. I didn't even notice he came behind me. I smiled and turned to see him. He had black spiky hair and teal eyes; I think that is what attracted me to him in the first place. "Hello Bobby" I said smiling. He leaned down and kissed me on the lips, I quickly kissed back but grabbing his shirt. He pulled me away much to my dissatisfaction.

"Not in front of the virgins" He said to me referring to Gerand and Mush who were quietly watching in disgust.

"I need to get to class, but I'll see you at lunch" he said before kissing me on the cheek. I smiled and looked at him" I love you" I said blushing. He smirked when he noticed he could still make me blush like crazy. "Love you too" He said before walking away. I stood there breathlessly. We had been dating for six months and he could still take my breath away. He was my first lover. I gave him my virginity three months after we started dating. He still gives me butterflies. It's safe to say I'm head over heels for the man. Bobby is a senior at school and co- captain of the football team along with his best friend Demmy. He is the most sought after guy in school and I am proud to say I am his girl.

"Did I ever tell you how much I hate him" Gerand said ruining my great thoughts.

"Yes about a million times" I said rolling my eyes and shutting my locker. "Let's go to class" I said hoping to avoid one of Gerand stupid lectures about Bobby. Of course Gerand never passes up a chance to bash on Bobby.

"I can't believe you let that pervert touch you" He started. I automatically regret telling Gerand about me sleeping with Bobby.

"See this is why I waited so long to tell you" I said annoyed. I told Mush the day after it happen. It was easier to tell Mush since she is a girl, but it took me forever to tell Gerand, because I thought the conversation would be awkward. Gerand was like my older brother so it would be weird to talk about.

"Well, I think you should have waited Angel" Mush said siding with Gerand.

"Um, I am seventeen, I don't need to consult you guys about what I do" I said annoyed.

"I still think he is bad news" Gerand continued.

"If you are talking about Bobby, then I completely agree" a new voice said. I looked over to see my friend Andrian Ramos walking over. I rolled my eyes and kept walking. He then walked faster to catch up.

"Um Angel is that any way to greet me, we haven't seen each other since school let out for the summer." He said. He walked in front of me and picked me up while giving me a huge bear hug.

"Argh, put me down Andrian" I said. He smiled and obeyed. "Sorry bout that Angel" He said smiling. If Andrian wasn't so damn cute I would have kicked him but he was one of my good friends. Andrian has dark spiky hair and a couple of tattoos on his face. He was like Gerand, he looked tough but he is such a softie. Andrian spent his summers with his father in Manila so I never saw him during the summer. Andrian and I dated for a year in junior high, but we never fell in love. We realized being friends was more comfortable and made more sense.

"Still want me to go with you to the Teddy Bear festival next week" He asked. I automatically started smiling. "That would be perfect" I replied.

All four of us made our way into the classroom. I took my usual seat toward the back. Andrian sat to my right. Mush sat in front of me and Andrian sat in front of Gerand. Our teacher walked in. She had dark skin and long purple hair and the most beautiful cat like eyes I had ever seen.

"Good Morning Class" She said smiling

"Good Morning Mrs.Villanueva" Everyone called back.

"Hope everyone enjoyed their summer" She started. "Please look around you, notice anything weird". We all look around I noticed there are quite a few seats that were empty but nothing else.

"Well, the class looks a little short if you haven't notice and that's because we are going to be taking in students from Lecio National High School."

Lecio high school was another high school in Cagayan. It was smaller than my school.

Everyone started looking around and gossiping. "Last week a terrible fire started and destroyed half the school so we have offered to taken some of their students." She finished. She signaled at the door and seven students walked in. They lined up in front of the classroom.

"Please introduce yourself" Mrs. Villanueva said.

"Hello I am Darwin Orale, I am a junior and I am single ladies" Darwin had brown hair and he seemed like a total pervert.

"I am Archie Cordero , and I am not single, but I do prefer older women" He said making a quick glance to Mrs.Villanueva. Archie has shorter black hair, parted down the middle with a stray bang in his face and the tips fanning out. He was very young looking.

"I am Marison Yul . But you can call me Mar" Mar had was really tall and muscular. He had dark brown hair and dark skin; he looked as if he was Mexican.

"I am Rhesalyn Jumamil, I plan on joining your karate team and becoming captain"Rhesalyn was definitely a tomboy, and I noticed Gerand definitely caught interest in her. She had short black hair and a very pretty face.

"I am Darlene Resalute, I love food and making different foods, I hope all of you will try them" Darlene has long brown-brown hair which she wears in bangs behind her ears and with hairpins. She had big boobs, so she would probably join the cheerleaders.

"I am Brix Zaragoza , I was number one in my class at Lecio" Brix had dark hair and wore glasses. He looked like the typical nerd. But no way was he going to be number one in this class, I have that title. I made decided to make a mental note to find out Brix's grades so that I wouldn't have to worry; that's when I heard his voice.

"And I am Zhul Alexis, and that all you need to know" I looked up to see him. Zhul had incredibly orange hair, but the most beautiful amber eyes I had ever seen. He was scowling which made all the girls in my class a little scared but they all thought he was hot; I had to admit he wasn't bad looking at all.

"Good, now you guys can just find a seat" Mrs. Villanueva informed them. Zhul made his way over to the last window seat, the one next to mine. I looked at him and noticed his muscles. I watched him take a seat and sigh lazily. I looked at him for a little longer than I thought about his name. "Zhul?" I said quietly to myself. "Like a strawberry?" I said but not quiet enough because my new classmate heard me.

"It means one who protects, not strawberry" He spat. I was shocked that he heard me.

"Oh, well I have never heard that" I whispered back to him.

"Well, now you do, so now you can stop calling out my name" he said arrogantly.

"Don't flatter yourself, you have no idea who I am" I said proudly. I usually didn't flaunt that I am a Perez but I had a feeling this man would try and look down on me.

"Why cause you are spoiled brat with the last name Perez."

"How did you know my name?"

"While you were fantasizing about my name, Mrs. Villanueva, said I was smart to sit next to the Junior Class president Angel Perez, but I feel dumber just sitting here" He said smirking at me.

"ARE YOU CALLING ME DUMB STRAWBERRY?" I yelled getting out of my seat. That word set something off in him.

"STOP CALLING ME STRAWBERRY, YOO YOU..." He looked me up and down then smiled "Midget" The whole class gasped at his comment. I almost lunged at him until Mrs. Villanueva said. "Perfect, Miss Perez and Mr. Alexis will have morning and afternoon cleaning duties" My mouth hung open "But Mrs.-"

"And I will need you to take Mr. Alexis on a tour of the school" She added "Now please take your seats."

I sat down and huffed and Zhul did the same.

"Stupid strawberry" I mumbled to myself.

Zhul's POV

"Crazy Midget" I mumbled to myself. I couldn't believe on my first day of class I got stuck with cleaning duties thanks to a crazy midget. And she is a Perez.

I knew a lot about the Perez family. They own one of the biggest companies in the world. Franz Perez is the current CEO of the company.

I looked over to the crazy midget, who was probably as mad as me. I smirked to myself, I was glad I was able to hit a nerve.

The bell rang signaling that it was lunch time.

"Miss Agirac, Mr. Ramos, Mr.Nunez and Miss Perez please find the students I have assigned to you and take them on a quick tour of our school." Mrs.Villanueva said. I grabbed my bag and made my way over to my teacher.

"Thanks a lot Shane" I said sarcastically to her.

"It's Mrs.Villanueva, when we are in school, Zhul" She said smiling. I rolled my eyes and kept walking. Shane is a close family friend. She always got on my nerves though. She would ask me if I got any girls pregnant yet or come up with plans with my crazy father on how to torture me.

I stepped outside the classroom and looked around. I then spotted the midget waiting for me by the lockers. I smirked and made my way over. She was standing there writing into a little book which looked like a planner. She didn't even notice my presence.

"Yo!" I yelled. She jumped and her face turned bright red from embarrassment.

"What the hell is your problem?" She yelled.

"Aren't you supposed to be taking me on a tour?" She rolled her eyes and walked away. I just stood there, was I supposed to follow the midget?

"Well? Are you not gonna follow are do I have to hold your hand to" She said with a baby voice. I gritted my teeth and reluctantly followed the evil midget.

The school was big...actually huge. There were so many different places and rooms. They probably had clubs for every type of interest. I looked ahead at my tour guide. Even though she is a crazy midget bitch, she had nice curves. She was petite which made her cute. I would admit she was actually quite beautiful but she is crazy so I won't admit it.

As we passed more rooms, I began to wonder where the library was.

"We have over a hundred clubs so if-"

"YO midget" I interrupted. She stopped and I could tell she wanted to kill me. She turned around and ran straight for my shin. I feel over in pain when her foot connected to my shins.

"Looks like I am taller now" She said hovering over me. "Don't interrupt me again" she said with an icy tone.

I quickly recover and towered over her. "You crazy little bitch" I yelled. "I just wanted to know where the library was"

"Well if you were patient, then I would have told you, the tour wasn't over strawberry!"

"Stop calling me strawberry, you midget!" I screamed. I could tell she was ready to it me again, I shielded myself and closed my eyes, but no hit came instead I heard a voice call for the midget.

"Hey Angel" I open my eyes to see a tall guy with blue hair walking over to Angel. I noticed how Angel's whole face changed. She wasn't this angry girl I had been arguing with, she was smiling and had a glisten in her eyes.

"Bobby?" She said sweetly, that scared me too. "What's up?"

"Nothing, except I can hear you screaming from down the hall" He said looking at her and caressing her cheek. Her face turned red like a tomato. This guy must be her boyfriend. He then turn to me and gave me a deadly glare. I didn't understand why.

"And who are you?" He spat.

"This is Zhul Alexis" Angel answered quickly. "I am taking him on of a tour of the school; he is one of the new students from Lecio High."

Bobby smirked at me then went to forcefully kiss Bobby. I knew what he was doing. He was marking his territory. I could tell Angel was a bit uncomfortable from the force but quickly hide it when she saw me looking. I simply rolled my eyes.

When they finally stopped sucking face Angel finally answered my request. "The library is straight down and if you make a right down there, the cafeteria is not too far"

"Thanks" I said walking away. I saw Bobby stare at me as I walked away. I decided to ignore it. I didn't feel like getting into fights in this school, I didn't need to be known for fighting here too.

"Carrot top" I heard him snicker. I was so tempted to punch him but I decided to brush it off. As I walked I looked over my shoulder, and saw Bobby kissing Angel with her pushed up against the lockers. I didn't understand how a girl who had such a bitchy and dominant attitude let a guy just handle her like that. But that wasn't my business.

After I took a look around the library I made my way to the cafeteria, I noticed all my friends from Lecio were at the same table.

"Zhul" Darwin called out. I nodded at him and walked over. I noticed I got quite a lot of stares from the other students. I just walked towards the table and joined my friends.

"Hey Zhul, we were just talking about how great it was for all of us that we get to be in the same class" Darwin said happily. I knew it was Shane's plan to have me and all my friends together.

"This school is so big" Darlene said happily. Darlene is one of my good friends and my ex girlfriend. We dated for a few months and that only because Rhesalyn told me that she liked me. She was definitely a nice girl but I didn't have any romantic feelings for her. I broke up with her after some months and she told me she realized she didn't have any feelings for me romantically either. "I think that Gerand guy likes you Rhesalyn" Darlene said.

"Why would you think that?" Rhesalyn asked.

"He was so checking you out as he gave us the tour" Darlene replied.

"I have no time for boys" Rhesalyn said rolling her eyes. Rhesalyn is one of my closet friends. We have been friends since we were five. She used to always kick my butt in karate. I am slowly beginning to think she is gay since she has never shown any interest in boys.

"The school has a well known chess club and sewing club" Brix added. I am ninety percent sure Brix is gay. I wouldn't call us friends more like "frienemies". I met him through Darlene and he would always ate with us, and we would always argue but he always had my back.

"It's nice" Marison said. Marison never usually spoke. He was definitely one of my favorite friends. We became friends in middle school. He helped me in a couple fight and I helped him.

"You guys were lucky. Brix and Marison got a tour from that Mush girl and Zhul, you lucky bastard, that goddess Angel was your tour guide." Darwin said.

"I must say Angel is very pretty" Archie added. I couldn't even tell you how I became friend with Darwin and Archie, it kind of just happened.

"I don't feel lucky she is a bitch" I commented.

"Don't say that about her," He said pretending he was hurt. "There is that gorgeous angel now"

I turned my head slightly and saw her walking in the cafeteria with Bobby holding her waist possessively. "WHAT!" Darwin yelped. "Who is they black haired guy"

"Her boyfriend, Bobby" I answered. I notice them go their separate ways. Angel went to sit with the other students from our class and he sat with some other people.

"So that's Bobby" Rhesalyn said looking at him.

"You know him?" I asked.

"Well, when Gerand ended the tour, he warned us to say away from the senior football players, especially a man named Bobby.

"Yeah, the one with the messy dark hair is Demmy; he is number one in the senior class and the whole school." Darlene stated pointing at the table. There were quite a few guys and some very "grown" looking women.

"Why would he be dangerous?" Brix inquired, he obviously enjoyed the competition.

"Apparently he has broken many hearts" Darlene answered.

"The tall lanky kid with the long black hair is Alec" Rhesalyn continued. "Gerand just said it not safe to be in a room alone with him"

"So they are like the popular kids" Archie said. Rhesalyn and Darlene nodded.

"With some of the hottest cheerleaders ever!" Darwin said drooling over the girls sitting with the football players.

I decided to ignore the conversation and my eyes made my way over to Angel, who was happily talking with her friends. I had to admit, she was really pretty, and if she wasn't so mean she would be perfect. But what do I care.

Angel's POV

"That Darwin kid is a serious pervert" Andrian said as he took a bite of his sandwich. "All he was talking about was getting some action.

"That's doesn't surprise me" I said smiling.

"Rhesalyn and Darlene seemed pretty cool" Gerand added.

"Rhesalyn's cute" I said playfully elbowing Gerand. He automatically blushed. "Yeah so" He said trying to sound cool. I rolled my eyes and noticed a few of my other friend were coming to join us.

"Hey Kent , Jonica, Jenny" I said. Kent had blonde hair and a very emo look. I met Kent through Gerand and Mush. It is so painfully obvious that he likes Mush but he won't admit.

"Still need a ride into town today?" Kent said to me as he took his seat next to mush.

"Yes, thank you" I replied. Jonica and Jenny took their seats by Adrian. Jonica is a friend of mine, even though she is a total kiss up. I don't know if she is only doing it because I am rich or because she is just naturally a kiss up. Jenny is quiet that's why I like her. Most guys try to date her but she keeps to herself.

"Angel how was your summer?" Jenny asked. "Good thanks for asking" I said smiling to her.

She began asking everyone around the table and I let my eyes wander around the cafeteria. I looked at Bobby who was talking with Demmy. Demmy is the only person who I don't mind out of Bobby's friends. Everyone else seemed like jerks. I especially hate that he hung out with the cheerleaders. He told me I should trust him and I do, I just don't trust them. We never sit together mainly because our groups of friends don't exactly get along, so we sit with our own friends during lunch. I looked around more and my eyes met orange.

How I hate that stupid strawberry. I have to admit, he is really cute and has really cute eyes but he is such an asshole. He is nowhere as cute as my boyfriend. Bobby could probably beat up that idiot in a second. The only problem is that Bobby could be very rough with me sometimes, and even though I can handle it, I feel like he doesn't do it with love but I can't expect too much from him, he isn't the sensitive type.

I bring my attention back to my table. I look at Andrian. He has always been cute. I remember having the biggest crush on him when Gerand introduced us. I thought I could fall in love with Andrian but I didn't. We acted more like friends. I still think he is incredibly cute but there are no longer any romantic feelings. I look at Gerand. Gerand has always been cute. He even had a very nice body, but he was too much of a punk to actually go out with a girl. He would like a girl for like a month then like a new one. This month was definitely Rhesalyn. I smiled to myself as I watched my friends; I loved my life I truly did. Then my eyes wandered back to the orange head.

Zhul's POV

"Class dismissed" Shane said, sorry, Mrs.Villanueva said. Everyone quickly grabbed their stuff and ran out the door. I sighed and sat in the chair. I would have to do cleaning duties. I looked to my right and saw the midget writing in her little planner.

"You two can go" Mrs.Villanueva announced. Angel and I practically jumped up in excitement when she said that

"What about cleaning duty?" I asked relieved

"That won't start till tomorrow morning, and you won't have to do afternoons since you have after school job Zhul" she said.

"Yeah I guess, see you tomorrow then" I said picking up my bag, throwing it over my shoulder and heading for the door. I looked over at the midget who was put her stuff in her bag. "Later Midget" I said. I saw her snap her head up and reach for the nearest book. I ran out the classroom before she could throw it. "STUPID STRAWBERRY!" I heard her yell as I ran down the hall.

"I'm home" I said walking in to my house.

"ZHUL!" my dad said running to hug me, I simply moved out of the way and he ran into the door. "Hey dad" I said ignoring him.

"Hello Zhul how was school" My mom asked me when I walked into the kitchen. "Its good, nice place" I said giving my mother a kiss on the cheek.

"Momma's boy" I heard my father mutter as he walked into the kitchen. Victor Alexis is my dad. He is a doctor. We actually like in a clinic. Marisa Alexis is my mother. She stays at home and helps the best she can, around the clinic and also if a full time mother.

"Kimberly and Lorry aren't back yet?" I asked.

"No they should be here in about half an hour" she said.

"I guess I'll see them, when I get home" I said "I'm gonna change then head out to work. "Today was my first day of my new job. My dad's family friend Ricky Villanueva owns a shop in town. Apparently, one of his employees quit so he needs help.

I quickly changed into a white V neck tee and fitted jeans with some white sneakers. I ran downstairs, quickly kissed my mom on the cheek and gave my father a head nod. "See you guys at dinner" I said running out.

"Ah! Zhul, you made it" Ricky said to me as he walked up to greet me. Ricky had on a green stripped jacket and his favorite hat. He had blond hair and always wore clogs.

"Hey Ricky" I said to him.

"Why so cold, I thought we were closer than that" He said. I rolled my eyes.

"Shane told me you got stuck with cleaning duty at school"

"Yeah, cause she is a slave driver" I mumbled.

"I heard that" a voice said. Shane stood there smiling. Ricky and Shane were like family to me; my dad has known them since before I was born.

"Come to the back, let me show you what you will be doing" Ricky said to me. I followed him to the back of the store. Ricky showed me around the stock room. I learned where all the back stock was and other important places.

"Mr.Villanueva" a deep voice said. I turned to see one of his employees, Hanna. He is a tall, muscular, lightly tan-skinned man. His hair is corn-rolled and he has a large handlebar mustache. He wears a pair of dark shaded glasses.

"Yes!" Ricky said happily.

"She is here" he replied.

"Goodie!" he exclaimed. "Well Zhul, one of my very important customers are here, how bout you help me stack some of those boxes. I sighed as I did what I was told. I began to wonder who this important customer was. Zhul couldn't be that famous that he had celebrities visit him. After I finished stacking boxes, Hanna walked in.

"The boss needs you to bring out a package for the customer" he said then pointed to a rather heavy looking box.

I sighed in annoyance then proceed to pick up the box. I slowly made my way to the front of the shop with much effort. I huffed and slowly put the box down. I looked up to see a young girl with her back facing me. From what I could see she had a nice ass and had great curves, from her height she was probably like 14, she must have bloomed early. "Um is this box for you?" I asked. She turned around and that's when I recognized the evil midget.

"Midget?" I accidently said out loud. Suddenly a little box hit me in head.

"WHAT THE HELL DID I SAY ABOUT CALLING ME A MIDGET!" she screamed. I grabbed my head in pain. Man was she annoying.

"Why do you always have to be so damn violent?" I growled.

"I swear you two bicker like an old married couple" a female voice said. Shane walked in followed by Ricky.

"Now, Zhul, Miss Perez here is one of my favorite and most loyal customers" Ricky said.

"And she is my favorite student" Shane added. I rolled my eyes. I didn't care who she was, she was still a bitch.

"Now Zhul could you help bring the package to Miss Perez's car." Ricky asked. I growled and mumbled some curses. I picked up the box and walked past the smirking midget. I finally reached outside where a beat up blue car stood.

"Here let me help you" another voice said. I looked to see who was helping me. It was one of Angel's friends from lunch. He had blonde hair.

"Matibag, you don't need to help him" I heard the midget say.

"It's no problem." He said. "I am Kent Matibag"

"Zhul Alexis" I said introducing myself. We carried the box to the trunk and set it down.

"Thanks" I said to him. "No problem" He said making his way over to the driver's seat. I saw the midget roll her eyes and then walk up to Ricky.

"Thanks Mrs.Villanueva, please let me know when my other shipments have arrived" she said politely. "See you tomorrow Miss Shane"

"Bye strawberry" She said smirking at me.

"Midget" I mumbled. She gave me death glare before she got into the car. The car sped off and I watched it leave. I had to admit the midget is actually cute when she is angry.

"Angel" I said to myself before walking back into the shop.

"You are up early marisa said. She had walked downstairs to see her son zhul preparing his own lunch.

"Yeah, I got stuck with morning clean up for the class" zhul said as he put a bottle of Coke in a brown lunch bag.marisa smiled and ruffled her son's hair. "Well, it's good; if Shane assigned you the job then it's probably good."

zhul scoffed then picked up his bag. "I'll be home around 3" He said. He gave his mother a kiss on the cheek and headed out.

angel frantically searched her room for her other shoe. "Shit I am gonna be late for morning cleaning duty" she said to herself. angel then heard a knock at her door.

"Come in"

Mhadz walked in wearing her robe. She was surprised to see her sister up this early. "Good morning angel, why are you up so early?"

"Oh hi mhadz, I have cleaning duty so I have to be at school early" She said she searched through her closet. "angel, what are you looking for?" mhadz asked.

"Found it!" She yelled holding up her shoe. mhadz just stared at her sister oddly as she put on her shoe.

"What time will you be home?"

"I have student council meeting, then I might hang out with bobby" angel said as she gathered her school bag.

"Just make sure you are one on time, Franz already hates the fact that you are dating him" mhadz warned.

"I know, you think he is a bad influence but I can handle myself" angel said trying to reassure her. "I gotta go, but I'll call you later" angel said before she dashed downstairs and headed out the door.

angel ran into the school and took deep breaths when she finally stopped."I bet that stupid strawberry isn't even here yet" angel said to herself.

"Talking to yourself perez?" a female voice said to her. Angel automatically knew exactly who the voice belonged to. Angel turned to see Cassandra accompanied by Fatima.

"Hello Ladies" Angel said in a polite tone slightly mocking them.

"Don't act innocent Angel" Fatima snapped.

"Why I don't understand" Angel said pretending to be scared. Angel wasn't scared of Cassandra and Fatima. Both girls were taller and older than her but she knew they were secretly jealous. They both had obvious crushes on Bobby, and they didn't understand why he would chose to date Angel, a junior with B cups.

"Don't think because you are dating Bobby or that you have money, that you are above us, we still hold a lot of power in this school." Cassandra said trying to intimidate Angel. Angel simply laughed it off. "You need to find a new hobby" Angel said brushing off Cassandra. Angel made her move to walk away but Cassandra grabbed her arm. "You won't have him for long" She said. What Angel didn't know, is that both girls had two secrets of their own concerning Bobby.

Angel pulled herself away. "Have a good day ladies" Angel said before walking away from them. She hated those women. She didn't understand why they were after Bobby, but she didn't plan on leaving him because of their empty threats.

Angel finally made her way to her classroom. She slid the door open to see a completely spotless classroom. Angel looked at the chalkboard and the erasers and saw that they had been cleaned. Angel looked to the seats and realized someone was sitting there. It was that damn strawberry. He was listing to an iPod and reading a book. She was surprised to see him, reading. Angel made her way to him. She noticed the book was The Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare. Zhul realized he was no longer alone in the class and looked up to see the midget.

He removed his earphones and flashed a smile at her. "Morning Midget" He said. Angel automatically stomped on his foot.

"Dammit, would you stop that" Zhul said as he grabbed his foot in pain. "Stop calling me a midget, I understand I am not six feet tall but that doesn't mean I am short."

"I am pretty sure you are legally short enough to be a midget" Zhul snickered.

"Whatever strawberry" Angel said. Zhul crossed her arms and walked away.

"Where are you going" Zhul asked when he noticed she was leaving the classroom.

"None of your business strawberry" she yelled before shutting the door and leaving. "Midget Bitch" He mumbled.

Angel walked into the hallway annoyed. "Stupid dumb ugly strawberry" She huffed as she made her way to her locker. Just as she was about to put in her combination she felt a hand around her waist. She was quickly spun around and her eyes met teal. "Bobb-" Angel was cut off when he smashed his lips on hers. She was surprised but quickly kissed him back. He forced his tongue in and Angel allowed him. Every time they kissed, Angel was always overwhelmed by him. After a good sixty seconds of kissing, he pulled away. Angel breathed heavily and smiled."Sorry couldn't help myself" He said.

"You scared me" Angel managed to say. He smirked and fixed Angel's hair. "What are you doing here so early?" He asked her.

"I got assigned morning cleaning." Angel said. "Why are you here?"

"I'm on the football team, all athletes have morning and afternoon practices." He explained. He grabbed her hand and pulled her down the hall. "Where are we going" Angel asked.

"It's a surprise." He said. "Did you do the cleaning yet?"

"Well, no, I got stuck working with that Zhul kid" Angel answered.

"Is that why you were talking about a strawberry?" He asked smiling at her. Angel didn't notice he was there while she was quietly ranting about Zhul.

"Yeah, I don't like him, he is rude and annoying"

"Want me to beat him up?" Bobby asked finally stopping in front a door. Angel smiled and kissed his lips. "No I can handle him" she replied. He grinned widely then opened the door and pulled Angel in. It was a small room where there were some extra chairs and desks. It was the storage closet. "Why are we he-hmph" Angel was cut off again when Bobby kissed her suddenly this time pushing her up against the wall. She allowed his tongue in and he greedily kissed her. He moved from her mouth and moved to her neck which made her moan out loud.

He then hiked up Bobby's skirt and took one of his fingers and inserted it into what was behind her underwear. She almost screamed when his fingers penetrated her womanhood. "Bobby" she moaned as he moved his fingers in her. She knew this was wrong. Having sex in school was crazy but she had to admit it felt good. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of him playing in her.

Once she was wet enough for his liking, he removed her panties and pulled down his pants with his boxers and revealed his already hard and throbbing erection. He positioned Angel so that his erection and her womanhood aligned perfectly. She straddled his waist and he pushed inside her hard. Just as Angel was going to scream he claimed her mouth with his. He thrusted into her wildly. Angel bit down on his shoulder to help suppress the feelings running threw her.

"You want it harder" Bobby growled. Angel could barely speak; it hurt more than it should. It wasn't the first time. Bobby was always rough with her, but Angel believed that's how Bobby was. "AHH" Angel managed to scream. She closed her eyes as a few tears were ready to escape her eyes. "Not so hard" Angel whispered. Bobby rolled his eyes in annoyance and went faster. He was almost there and he needed to get it off. After a few seconds of faster thrusting, he finally released himself in her. He slumped down on Angel who was apparently in pain. "Damn that was good" Angel however didn't feel the same. The way it felt no longer felt like sex, it felt close to rape. Angel pushed Bobby off of her. Bobby could tell she was upset.

"What's your problem?' He asked annoyed.

"I wish you didn't have to act like such a damn animal" Angel said, she had never really complained about the sex before but the sex was getting more painful, she knew sex was a mixture if pain and pleasure but why did it hurt more than instead of it feeling good.

"Angel, you know how I am," he said pulling up his pants. Angel rolled her eyes and put on her panties.

"I am not so piece of meat, you can't just fuck me as if I don't feel anything, and I wish you would sometimes be gentler towards me, you fuck me as if I am some sort of whore." Angel said.

Bobby sighed in defeat. "Sorry, but you know I love you"

"You say it but you never show it" Angel said sadly. Bobby pulled Angel into an embrace, Angel tried to pull away, but he grabbed her chin and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"I mean it" He said seriously. The way he said it scared Angel. She nodded slowly. He smiled and opened the door to the closet. He walked out and Angel followed. "I gotta get ready for class, see you later" He said, he kissed her cheek and Angel forced a smile.

She felt incredibly sore and a bit disgusted with herself, why did being with Bobby make her feel like a cheap whore? She had to admit she loved Bobby; he isn't like any man she has ever met. He is direct and he knows what he wants. Angel remembered hating him when she first met him but she could not deny the physical attraction.

"Hey Zhul right?" Gerand said walking over to Zhul's desk.

"Yeah" he answered looking up at the red head.

"Have you seen Angel, I know she had cleaning duty this morning."

"I saw her for like a second this morning then she left" Zhul said. "Gerand, she's here" Mush said grabbing Gerand's attention. Gerand smiled when he saw Angel walk in.

Zhul looked up and notice the distress on her face. What's up with her?

"Hey Angel!" Gerand said greeting Angel. Angel smiled and made her way to her desk. She was incredibly sore and from the way she was walking and her friends could tell.

"Angel, are you okay?" Gerand asked worried. Angel smiled and nodded. "I'm fine" She said trying to laugh it off. Angel took her seat and Gerand took his seat watching Angel. He noticed Angel slowly sat down and winced in pain. He would have to ask her later about it.

"Good Morning class" Shane said starting class. Zhul tapped his pencil on his desk as Shane talked, his eyes wandered over to the midget next to him. She had water droplets on her face and her hair was a bit messy.

"Looks like you ran a marathon" zhul muttered. Angel noticed his comment was towards her and rolled her eyes.

"You are an asshole you know that" Angel snapped. Zhul smirked then notice her neck, there was a dark bruise but he wasn't stupid plus his father was a doctor. He could tell the bruise was new and it was a hickey. He concluded that she must have gotten it this morning from her boyfriend.

"Hickeys aren't exactly hot" Zhul mumbled.

"What are you going on about now?" Angel asked annoyed.

"That hickey looks pretty bad ass" He said clear enough for her to hear. She quickly grabbed her neck then winced in pain. "Shit" She cursed to herself. She forgot to check for hickeys before she came to class

"You should have at least made yourself decent and covered it with makeup"

"Mind your own damn business, stupid strawberry" Angel said.

"Midget" He said and as soon as the words left his mouth his face met a textbook. "OWWW"

He grabbed his nose in pain.

"Mr. Alexis is there a problem" Shane said, and then she noticed the blood coming from his nose. She sighed. "Go to the nurse's office" He stood up and glared at Angel before he made his way out the classroom.

Zhul's POV

I walked down the hall of lockers, I didn't really know where I was going but I had to hurry, my nose was bleeding quickly. Damn Midget! I started to recognize some rooms and then realized the nurse's office wasn't too far away but I stopped in his tracks when I heard noise from the room next to him. The noise sounded like moaning and I could tell someone was probably having sex in school. My curiosity was killing me. So I slightly open the door to the room where I was hearing the noises.

What I saw shocked me. It was Bobby, the midget's boyfriend kissing on some girl with black hair. I recognized her as one of the cheerleaders. The girl then broke from the kissing and made her way down to his pants. I backed away before I could watch the girl pull out his manhood. I quickly made my way to the nurse's office where I sat on one of the chairs.

I couldn't believe Bobby was cheating on the midget, the same bitch that might have broken my nose. But that wasn't my business, I refused to get involved, I would just have to pretend I didn't see it.

After the nurse helped me out I sat in the office, she said I would be excuse from all of my morning classes, and gym class but I had to at least meet with the teacher. I lied on one of the beds in the office and rested a while. I closed my eyes ready to take a nap but a voice interrupted it.

"Hey Strawberry" she yelled. I knew exactly who was ruining my peace. I sat up to see the evil midget.

"What the hell do you want?' I asked bitterly

"To apologize,... but you deserved it" She said.

"What type of fucked up apology is that" I said.

"Forget it, I was trying to nice"

"Be nicer to my nose next time you crazy midget"

"Stop calling me a MIDGET" She screamed!

"When you are normal height maybe I will" I snapped back. She was ready to hit me again but I was saved by the nurse.

"No yelling in office" She warned. Angel huffed and stomped out. I smiled to myself, mainly because I was saved from being hit again.

I then thought about seeing her boyfriend with another girl, I began to wonder if she had any idea, he was cheating on her. I shrugged it off.

It was finally time for gym class but I was excused, however I still had to meet with the gym teacher and do something in order to make up for the day.

I walked into the guys' locker room. I noticed Angel's guy friends all talking. They all looked at me as I walked in. It was probably because of what happen in class earlier. I notice Gerand get up and make his way over to me.

"How's the nose" He asked smirking.

"Fine" I said annoyed.

"Look, you don't have to get mad, but you should stop calling her a midget." He said. I really don't get why she was so sensitive about her height.

"When she stops calling me a strawberry, then I will stop calling her a midget." I replied. Gerand shrugged his shoulders "It's your funeral" He said before returning to his friends.

I made my way to the gym teacher's office. There was a man wearing sunglasses with black hair sitting at a desk.

"Mr. Roxas?" I asked walking in.

"That's me" he said. He looked up at my nose and saw the bandage on my nose and chuckled. "What happen to you?"

"Accident in class" I replied simply. He nodded. "So I'm guessing the nurse excused you from class"

I nodded to him. "Fine, then you can help carry equipment, while the class plays dodge ball." He said. I agreed and left his office.

"Come on guys out to the field" Mr.Roxas yelled to everyone. The guys in the locker room slowly filed out the room.

I made my way to a bench and sat in the locker room. I rested myself there. I would have to carry all the gym equipment which sounded like a lot of heavy lifting.

"Bobby!" I heard someone yell. I looked around and notice it was one of the guys on the football team, I think Darlene and Rhesalyn said his name was Alec. Then I noticed two other people one with black hair. It was Bobby and another guy who I remembered was Demmy.

"Why the fuck are you yelling?" Bobby spat.

"There is rumor going around that you are messing around with Cassandra" He said. He grabbed Bobby shirt and pushed him against the lockers. "You know Cassandra is mine" He growled. Bobby smirked. I began to wonder if Cassandra was the girl I saw him with.

"Chill man, you know I have Angel." Bobby said calmly. That man was such a liar.

"I thought you were messing with Fatima too" Demmy added. Bobby laughed out loud. "Oh yeah I'm screwing her too"

"Answer my damn question" Alec said annoyed. "No," He answered. "I know Cassandra is yours" Alec let go. "Sorry about that" he said calming down.

"Problem solved, now let's go out to the field" Demmy said. Bobby and Alec followed behind him. I couldn't believe Bobby openly admitted that he cheated on Angel. I concluded that Fatima must have been the girl I saw him with earlier.

I finally got up and made my way to the field.

"Hey Angel" was the first thing heard when I walked out. It was Bobby. He was making his way over to Angel. She looked a little mad at him. I saw him caress her face, then she brushed his hand away, just as she was going to walk away he grabbed her arm forcefully and he pulled her back. A part of me was ready to jump up and say something but what could I say?

I notice her yank her arm away then say something to him before she walked away. I smiled to myself. It looks like the midget can handle herself.

"Bobby looks so good" I heard a girl say. I looked up to see the girl from before. The one Bobby was messing around with. She was with two other girls. One girl had blonde hair and dark skin, and the other one had strawberry blonde hair.

I looked at them curiously. The blonde one did not seem concerned with Bobby she just rolled her eyes at the other two.

"Staring at the senior cheerleaders?" I heard a voice ask me. I turned and notice it was a guy from my class. He had black spiky hair and a tattooed on his face.

"Not really" I said

"Its normal to stare at them, they are hot, especially Engeline" He said.

"I guess" I said, and then I decided to be a little nosy. "So what are their names?"

"The blonde is Engeline, the dark skin one is Fatima and the one with the black hair is Cassandra" He explained. My mouth dropped when he said that. So the one, I saw Bobby with was Cassandra, his friend's girl, but he also admitted he was messing with Fatima. Did both girls know they were helping Bobby serial cheat on Angel?

"Thanks...uh"

"I'm Andrian Ramos" He said introducing himself.

"Zhul Alexis" I stated. He nodded "Nice to meet you, I better get back to class." Andrian said before joining his class. I watched him join Gerand and Kent; they were talking to the midget. She was smiling and laughing with them. I couldn't help but feel guilty. Even though she was a bitch, no one deserves to be cheated on.

I watched the class which was co-ed for the day. It was boys vs. girls. I notice Angel was extremely athletic. I smiled watching her. She had a lot of pent up anger in such a little body. She and Rhesalyn were the best girls on their team. I noticed her and Rhesalyn had teamed up for the girls to beat the boys. It was funny to watch. Gerand and Andrian were the best guys on their team, and they struggled to beat Angel and Rhesalyn. Finally Rhesalyn hit Gerand and Angel caught Kent's ball.

"Girls WIN!"Mr.Roxas announced. I smiled as Angel and Rhesalyn gave each other high fives. I had a feeling these two girls would form a friendship all about beating on men. I looked over to the seniors who were playing volley ball. Bobby wasn't playing though he was busy talking to some girl. He was such an asshole. I noticed Angel was looking at him but she just rolled her eyes at it and went back to the game.

"See you guys Monday" Shane said as she dismissed class for the day. I looked over at Angel who had covered up her hickey.

"Angel?" I said out loud. She looked at me puzzled and a bit shocked. "Yeah?"

"I'll stop calling you midget, as long as you don't call me strawberry" I said to her. She still had her shocked expression. "Well, what do you say?" I asked annoyed.

"Sorry, but it was weird hearing you say my name" she said. She smiled a little which made her look cute

"Well, as long as you call me Zhul, I will call you Angel" I said pretending that I didn't think she was really cute.

"Deal" She said holding out her hand. I took it and shook her hand. It was weird, her hand fit perfectly in mine, and it was nice.

She pulled away. "I'm sorry about your nose" she said as she stood up.

"Its cool, but I'm glad we can call a truce" I said rubbing my nose. Angel nodded. "Well, bye Zhul" She said running out. I picked my bag and walked out. I headed to my locker where Marison stood waiting for me.

"Hey Marison"

"Hey Zhul, how is your nose" he asked.

"Better" I said smiling. I realized Angel wasn't bad, she was actually okay. I did feel bad about her situation with Bobby. I looked over and noticed Angel at her locker. Her locker was really close to mine. Then I noticed her boyfriend smugly making his way over to her.

"Hey babe" He said to her. His hands made his way to her ass and she jumped. "Pig" I mumbled.

"What is it Bobby" She replied.

"I'm sorry about earlier, I want to make it up to you, let's hang out tomorrow."

"I thought we were hanging out tonight?" She asked angry. "Cant babe, got an away game"

"Why don't I come?" She said. He simply shook his head. "No girlfriends on the road." He explained. I laughed to myself. I wasn't stupid. The cheerleaders go with the football players to the away games he probably didn't want her there, while he was flirting with Cassandra or Fatima.

"Sure" She said obviously mad. He smiled at her "Don't be like that" He said kissing her on the cheek. She sighed and smiled at him. "It's fine, just go" He smiled back and grabbed her face and kissed her.

I rolled my eyes at them. Angel was obviously not smart enough to see this he was a man whore but I guess it can't be helped, what is done in the dark, will come to the light.

"Let's go Marison" I said as I gathered my stuff and headed home.
