(01)

ARIA ARORA SAUNTERED along the hallways of St Richard's, her long tanned legs blessing her with long strides. Her silky raven hair almost looked brown in the sunlight. Her deep brown eyes were glistening in the sunlight, almost like there were flames burning inside them.

Boys were gawking at the beauty as she graced them with her presence. After all, Aria Arora was the dream with diamonds showering upon her. She was someone every boy wanted to be with and every girl wanted to be.

Aria halted in her steps once she felt someone slap her back.

"Hey, Riri."

She heard the familiar nickname which only her friends called no matter how many times she threatened them.

Sighing, she turned around to see Ellis Young grinning at her. Aria looked down at the short girl who stood proud at 5'5 while Aria was taller than her, standing at 5'8.

"How many fucking times do I have to tell you not to call me that?" Aria scoffed at Ellis but Ellis didn't seem to give a fuck as her red lips danced into a smile. An evil smile.

"Tell me that every day and I still won't stop calling you that," she smiled at a scowling Aria and locked their arms together, walking towards their class as the students parted like the red sea making way for the two elites.

"Bitch, I saw your worst enemy looking for you." Ellis slyly smiled at Aria who immediately scowled and her eyes were now glaring at everyone. The students bowed their heads in fear as they witnessed Aria Arora's face scowl and her eyes turn into a deadly glare.

"That creature," she muttered lowly. The students could feel a deadly aura coming from her and made sure not to come in her view or else they'll be buried deep into the ground. While Ellis smugly smiled she couldn't deny that the sight of them fighting was one she could watch every day.

"Don't forget he's in every one of our class!" Ellis chirped which only made Aria's scowl deepen. The day didn't even begin yet and she absolutely hated it already, thanks to someone gracing their presence in every one of her classes.

The duo entered the classroom and all eyes landed on them as if they could feel someone important entering and they weren't wrong. It was the two girls from the elites, the two most fearful girls in the damn school.

The two didn't grace them with any glances and walked towards the back of the classroom. One thing good about St Richard's was that the classes didn't particularly have a seating plan as long as the students were on their best behaviour, a debatable topic.

Aria took the seat at the back, right next to the window and rested her jaw on her hand. She sighed, looking at the garden which was visible straight through the window, her eyes glanced around the rose garden in peace.

"Well, if it isn't Aria?" A deep voice spoke and maybe she spoke too soon about having peace since her nightmare was right here.

She rolled her eyes and slowly turned to see Kade Lennox standing in his all glory, his blonde hair was tousled, which was thick and lustrous was styled back. His ocean blue eyes, which would make everyone swoon over them, were gleaming in amusement.

"No. It's her ghost. Get lost now." She lowly muttered but Kade rolled his eyes and looked at an amused Ellis who was too busy grinning at the sight, she couldn't deny that the two of them fighting was a sight was something she absolutely loved watching and would even pay millions to watch them bicker.

"Ellis. Move." Kade blankly stared at the ever grinning girl and Aria whipped her head in their direction.

"Elle, don't you dare move." Aria pointed her index finger at Ellis but she was too busy smiling wickedly.

"Hey, Asshole. Why don't you sit somewhere else, huh?" Aria's full attention was on Kade and he was pleased that she gave him her full attention since that was all he needed.

"Then how I am supposed to annoy you, Riri?" He mused and Aria knew he purposely mentioned the nickname so he could get on her nerves.

Aria slowly stood on her feet and glared at the six-foot-three giant smirking at her, "You fucking —."

"The first day of school and they're back fighting." The duo stopped bickering and turned around to see the rest of their friends standing in front of them, all three of them looking amused at the two.

Aria rolled her eyes at her friends before sitting back down in her seat. "Ari, can you like ever be calm?" Luca chuckled at her before taking a seat in front of Ellis.

"As long as he's around, there's not even a second for me to be calm." Aria scoffed as she ran her hand through her silky raven hair and every guy gawked at her, amazed at her beauty.

"I know you secretly love my existence." Kade rolled his eyes as he finally settled himself in front of her.

"I love your existence when you're a mile radius away from me. Absolutely love it." Aria sarcastically chuckled, her eyes landing on an annoyed Kade making her smile in pleasure.

"I should have brought my strawberry milkshake along so I could watch this!" Isabelle chirped, clasping her hands together in amusement as the others nodded since they could feel the atmosphere getting darker.

"Now, now. Don't fight you two. It's literally the first day." Blake lectured them from his seat which was in front of Kade. The two closed their mouths from saying anything lethal and leaned back on their seats as the teacher entered the classroom. But, that didn't stop them from muttering curses at each other.

♕ ♕ ♕

"I swear to God. If I hear you two throwing insults at each other, I will not hesitate to kill you." Luca screeched at the pair who were bickering since lunch had started, actually they never stopped bickering.

The Elites were seated on the wooden table just next to the rose garden and were enjoying their lunch. Trying. Aria and Kade had been throwing insults at each other since forever.

Aria squinted her eyes before smiling at Luca, "Great, kill him first," she pointed at Kade who's opposite her.

Ellis laughed at her retort, "This is why I fucking love them two fighting," she sighed in pleasure, earning her looks from Aria and Kade.

"Elle it's not something you should laugh at!" Blake scolded the girl but she didn't listen to him and still continued laughing.

"Blake, it's our source of entertainment. Let them be." Isabella chuckled, her jaw resting on her hand as she watched them with amusement.

"I've had enough of you all." Aria sighed, resting her head on Luca's shoulder and she could almost see Kade squinting his eyes at her.

"Enough of us? More like I've had enough of you two bickering." Blake pointed at Aria and Kade who were rolling their eyes at his statement.

"Not my fault. She starts them." Kade scoffed as he pointed his index finger to the girl sitting opposite him. Aria slowly raised her head from Luca's shoulder and her lethal glare was back, "Me?" Aria scoffed, "It's you who —."

"Stop!" Luca glared at them both who were both ready to go full-on fighting mode.

Aria glared at Luca but nevertheless shut her mouth but that didn't stop them from glaring at each other.

"Now why don't we talk about something nice?" Isabelle chirped in with her usual grin and happy eyes, unlike Aria and Kade.

"Like getting rid of him?" Aria pointed to Kade and smiled in pleasure as she saw him getting annoyed.

"I'm all in!" Ellis grinned making Aria wickedly smile.

"I hate you all." Kade muttered under his breath making Aria chuckle.

"I hate you more," she spoke sweetly.

"You guys are coming for my party, right?" Luca smiled as everyone nodded besides Aria of course.

"Ari, you coming?" Luca turned to face the girl.

"I'll see," she hummed making the others roll their eyes.

"That's a no, you guys." Ellis chuckled making the rest of the group groan.

"I bet everyone thinks the Aria has gone missing from the world of the rich," Luca mused, rolling his eyes at the girl.

"More like dead." Kade snickered at her.

"I really, from the bottom of my heart, don't give a fuck of what people think about me." Aria scoffed as she tapped her cherry clad nails against the wooden table.

"Please come, Aria. I'm literally begging you." Luca sighed as he watched her squint her eyes at him.

"Why? So I can watch you making out the whole night? No thanks, I'm bored of that sight." Aria gave him a small smirk as Ellis broke out into a fit of laughter.

"C'mon Aria. Join me and Issy for once!" Ellis grinned at Aria who sighed giving in, "Fine, only cause I'm free today."

Isabelle clapped her hands in excitement, "Finally! Every boy will love that you'll be gracing them with your presence." Isabella gave a wide grin to Aria who seemed nothing but bored.

"Someone in special is gonna love your presence!" Ellis smirked as she looked at Kade from the corner of her eyes.

"Yeah, can't wait." Aria nonchalantly spoke making Ellis chuckle at her friend.
