"Just some girls arguing, nothing major." He replied, shrugging his shoulders.
I paid no attention to the fight until I heard a rather familiar rude voice.
"That voice sounds familiar." I informed Leo, whose uninterested face suddenly sparked curiousity.
"We can check it out now." He scratched the back of his dirty blonde hair.
We put our books into our bags and headed towards the direction of the screams and gasps.
Because Leo was popular, the students made a small path for us, causing us to go right into the front of the whole drama.
"I won't be so nice." I heard Riona mutter to her before casually walking away.
The mass of students decreased immediately after she left while a girl came forward to walk with the jet black haired girl.
"What's that girl's deal?" I turned to Leo as we began to make our way to our next class.
" Which? The one with glasses or the one left standing there." He asked.
" The one with glasses."
" That would be Riona Davis. Transferred Into this school last year and she's very smart, some would call her a nerd because she wears glasses and is good academically, but no one dares get on her bad side. She's rumored to have beaten up a jock who tried to have his way with her. She doesn't have friends and doesn't talk to anyone, you only see her with her sister who is also quite the cutie." He explained in a light tone.
" Also quite the cutie? Do you think she's cute?" I teased and Leo just hit my chest lightly before increasing his walking speed.
So she has a sister, that's interesting.
After class was over, Leo and I stayed longer so everyone could leave first before we did, but two familiar girls walked over to us.
One had slender body and her dark hair made her pale skin more pronounced, while the other was quite the beauty, her caramel skin and brown eyes made her stand out but her small afro highlighted her well structured face.
"Hey Leo, we want to have a party at my house tomorrow to celebrate the start of the school year and we would love if your friend could also come with you." The afro girl informed Leo, who in turn looked at me as if asking if I was up for it.
"Sure." He replied to them after I slightly nodded my head.
" We'll see you there." The dark haired girl showed a grin before both exited the classroom.
"Those girls look somewhat familiar." I said as I watched them leave.
"The dark haired girl is the girl from earlier in the hallway and her name is Kara while the other brown skin girl is Alyssa, the one who came out to help Kara."
"I saw the way Alyssa called you Leo just now, do you have something with her?" I teased as we walked out of the classroom.
"What no-" He stopped talking when he hit someone.
"Did everyone return blind this year?!" A rude familiar voice thundered.
"I didn't see, I just walked out the door and-"
"Don't bother! I'll have you know that the last person who tried to sweet talk me ended up going to the nurse's office with a broken nose, you sho-"
"Rie that's enough, he was apologising, don't be like that." A tiny voice from behind her said.
"Let's go." Riona took the other girl by the hand and both walked towards the exit of the school.
"Dude you were shaking! Did you think she was gonna break your nose?" I laughed seeing Leo's expression.
"What, no! I'm going home!" Leo expression turned sour and also exited the school.
Is he really scared of her?
Shit! I asked Miss Jasmine for a favor, I need to check on that.
I walked up to the Physics classroom and found Miss Jasmine writing something on her notebook.
"Hello teacher!" I greeted loudly with a smile on my face.
"Keith! We're in school, show me respect and address me as miss!" She scolded.
"Sorry aunty! Habit!"
" Don't slip up like that in the presence of other students, okay?"
"Yes aunty,"
She glared at me.
"But there's nobody here!" I defended.
"What do you want Keith?" She asked clearly tired of my presence.
" Did you convince Riona?" I inquired.
"Yes and she agreed. So you can approach her to ask about when's convenient for you both."
"Yes! "
" Why are you so interested in Davis though?"
"Nothing important. Just want to know that's all."
" You better pay attention during those classes, I won't give you a passing grade if you don't do well."
" Sure aunty."
I exited the classroom and glanced at the hallway which attracted a lot of attention this afternoon.
Something doesn't add up about you Riona and I will figure it out.
Now I have the perfect excuse to approach you and spend time with you, you'll soon start telling me all of your secrets.

L E O N A R D O
The girls I've met only either cared about their looks and popularity status or nerdy and cowardly.
When Riona first transferred here, I thought she would be like those nerdy females who couldn't stand up for themselves, but her feisty nature made her look all the more attractive.
I remember the first time someone tried to hit her for being smart, she ended up beating up the girls who cornered her in the hallway or when Cole a player for our basketball team tried to force himself on her but gave him a broken nose.
I don't know when it all started but whenever I would see her or hear her name, I would get interested in the conversation.
Today was the first time I had any contact with her, when I bumped into her today, her shining green eyes rested on mine for more than a second.
I never had the courage to ever speak to her because I heard rumors that she wasn't interested in making any friends and so I kept my distance while admiring her from afar.

Kawaii!!!!!!R I O N A"Rie, you don't have to be so violent you know?" Thalia frowned."Why are you sad?" I questioned her."Kids are scared of me because my sister is a body breaker! The jock in the basketball team and those girls you singlehandedly thrashed." She shook her head in distaste."He was trying to force himself on me and I didn't beat those to a pulp, they tried to spread a rumour so I could be expelled." I defended myself."Let's just go get Cass and Iris." She changed the subject and looked out the window.So glad I hid that file under the seat so she wouldn't see them.I started the car and immediately, Thalia turned up the radio probably to avoid talking to me.My heart breaks when she treats me this way.I took a deep breath and drove to my siblings sc
R I O N AThe day passed by with me thinking about how tonight would go.My focus was definitely not on geography, which was my final class of the day.The bell rang and the teacher left, leaving us students to pack our stuff and leave school.I arranged my books and took out my phone to text Cassidy that she would be going home with a taxi since I have an errand to run.Knowing how Talia would get if she got to know that I was going to take care of a person tonight.I took my bag and hung it on my back and went straight to my locker, but I found Talia waiting there instead." Cassidy texted about an errand you have to run?" She shoved her phone in my face to show me the text."Yes." I simply muttered as I opened my locker to put in more books in my backpack." Do yo
R I O N ALeo.I can't remember the last time I got the energy to have an actual conversation with anyone that was not family or a teacher.But she had this wonderful aura that made me want to talk to him, but I get the total opposite from his friend.Focus.I am currently in the car which is parked outside the bar of where my victim is.I took off my glasses and parked my hair up in a bun so the wig could fit perfectly on my head.After I got ready in my undercover outfit as a waitress, I went into the bar and served other people while keeping my eyes at the entrance so I can be alerted when she enters the bar.I waited for over fourty minutes before I saw a middle aged woman walk into the bar matching the photos I saw and a smile
R I O N A"You're so useless!" A middle aged woman with blonde hair hissed at me before hitting me."Mom, I'm sorry." I cried but she didn't care and kept on hitting me."What's going on here? I heard her scream from the living room." My dad barged into the room." Daddy!" I cried and rushed over to him giving him a tight hug." It's okay Rie, daddy's here now." Dad consoled while patting my back soothingly." You're going to spoil her! She deserves to be beaten till death for what she has done!" The woman rushed over to me and tried to pull me away from my dad but my dad struggled back." Mariana, the kids are downstairs in tears, why are you doing this?!" My father yelled, trying to reason with her." Your ever so precious daughter spent all the money in house because she wanted to
✨ L E O N A R D O✨"Leo.. would you mind if I joined you and Keith for lunch? We can sit over there." Kara suggested while pointing to an empty table in the cafeteria."Kara," I paused and raised my eyes to meet her dark ones. "We've been in this school for long, when was the last time you saw me have lunch in the cafeteria?" I completed and she began fumbling with the Hem of her sleeves."Oh well I could jo-""How about next time? We really enjoy our guy time during lunch." Keith interrupted Kara.Thank goodness.Keith and I exchanged glances before we left the cafeteria and made our way to the garden."Kara must really like you if she does this frequently." Keith commented as we settled on the wooden round table that was located in a part of the huge garden."I'm not interested in girls."
R I O N A Leonardo?Is it the same one I met at the cafe the other dayI carefully read the list which was pasted on the notice board.After checking, I decided to stand in the corner to wait for him to come so I could confirm my suspicion.A tall masculine build stepped after a couple of minutes up to check for his name and although I wasn't able to see him from behind, I guessed it was him when I heard him yell.After we had a brief conversation, I noticed people staring at us and then it dawned on me that I was standing in the hallway- talking to a guy- who wasn't ugly- so most likely popular.Riona finish this up now and leave before people begin to notice you."There's no need really for all that physical contact in school, just give me your num
R I O N ASchool went on the usual way, I stayed on my own and didn't talk to anyone and it was finally one more class till the end of school for the day and boy was I grateful.I just want to go home, eat and take a warm bath.I took a seat in the second row and brought my glasses to the bridge of my nose.I took out my phone and brought up Lia's name.Lia, should we go out lunch or do you have plans?I clicked on send and dropped my phone on my desk after I sighed.I feel like I forgot to do something important yesterday but I couldn't exactly place my finger on it.My phone buzzed and I immediately picked it up thinking it was Thalia but frowned when I saw an unfamiliar person's number.I opened the message so I could read the content of the message
R I O N AThat boy is an idiot!"Rie! Thank God you came out, you were very quick to text me that you'd be right outside once the bell goes off but you then you didn't! I even heard your last class was cancelled so I hurried out so you wouldn't wait." Thalia explained as soon as I came close to her." I know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I apologized wholeheartedly.I unlocked the car and we both got in after which thalia used her seatbelt."It's okay, what kept you? Did teachers ask you to do something?" She questioned." No, I just had to deal with a certain issue." I vaguely told her.She frowned and narrowed her eyes. " Don't tell me you beat up someone?""What? No!"" Alright then. Let's go get the girls." She ordered while she typed on her phone.Wait.I put the key in the ignition then pa
