Walk to school

"Aaaaaa…"

A sigh escaped Michael's mouth as he walked down the stairs, he was currently headed to the kitchen so as to get breakfast and upon arriving there, he saw his mother cooking and immediately greeted her

"Good morning mom"

"Oh morning Michy, how was your night?" Mrs. Aurora asked with a smile on her face as she began dishing his food.

"Better than usual I guess" Michael answered half-heartedly as he made his way to dining table. Soon he was seated and his mom put his plate of food in front of him. It was a simple meal consisting of egg and French bread.

"Oh that's surprising" Aurora said, slightly surprised by his response. Though it wasn't something big, it was still surprising as Michael said his nights were the same as usual but today his response was different. This made her wonder, just what happened yesterday as she stared at Michael who was currently easting his food. Noticing his mom's stare, Michael felt slightly uncomfortable as he asked

"Is something wrong mom?"

"Oh sorry, was I staring for too long?"

"Yes"

"Oh sorry" Aurora answered as she headed towards the kitchen while walking she said "I didn't mean to make you feel awkward I was just slightly worried about you"

"Yeah I understand, anyway I'll be going now, see you later" Michael said as he stood up, hung his bag over his shoulder and headed out.

"Okay take care Michy!" Aurora shouted as watched him leave, a smile adorning her face.

Soon Michael was out of the house and was walking through the streets headed towards school. On his way, he wore his ear-ports and began playing music completely silencing the outside world as he continued on his way.

"Mich!" "Michael!"

But then two people shouted his name, one's voice was high pitched while the other was slightly rough. The two stared at each other and upon noticing the identity of the other they shouted

"Mrs. Arianna!" "Joseph!"

As Joseph stared at Arianna, surprise filled his face as he wondered 'what is she doing here?' But soon his attention turned to Michael who was walking completely oblivious to what was happening. 'Is she here because of him?'

Arianna also stared at Joseph but it wasn't surprise but a look of horror as her mind raced 'did he find out? Damn I shouldn't have come now' she then stared at Michael who was continued walking and she wondered 'didn't he hear us calling his name?' She was unable to notice the ear-ports he was wearing as he kept on walking.

Joseph looked at Arianna and immediately they came to an understanding upon staring as each other as they rushed towards him and upon arriving his side, they both tried to hit his back but Michael immediately dodged by bending down. Seeing this, a shocked look appeared on both face as they wondered

'How did he do that?'

Michael looked at both of them and said "what were you trying to do?"

"Nothing" they answered as they both averted his gaze but he knew their intentions clearly but he was soon bewildered as he looked at Arianna and asked "what are you doing here?"

"Oh that I was just passing by and I noticed you so I decided to tag along" Arianna answered while fidgeting and avoiding his gaze. Michael noticing this was immediately able to discern she was lying, as he looked at her suspiciously but soon sighed as he said "okay sure" before he turned his back to her and looked at Joseph, who had a surprised expression as he shifted his gaze between Michael and Arianna. Michael sighed as he saw his surprised expression and asked "what?"

"How the fuck do you know her?"

"Uh that, she kidnapped me yesterday-" "I did not" Arianna quickly interjected but Michael paid her no mine as he continued "and then other things happen and we got to know each other, but don't confuse we ain't friends" hearing this, Joseph was clearly surprised as he wondered 'just what the hell went on yesterday' but he decided not to think about it as he asked

"So how's it going Mich?"

"I'm okay, you?" "The same, so what did you eat this morning?"

"Eggs and French bread, you?" "Oh nice, I just ate some vegetables this morning, my mom forced me" "like usual huh"

The two continued talking as they moved forwards completely forgetting about Arianna's presence. She stood there gob smacked as she watched them talk, she was shocked as she wondered whether it was the same Michael of yesterday. Her eyes landed on Joseph as she asked herself 'just who's that guy?' But she was soon brought of her thoughts by Joseph's next words

"Oh nice to meet you, Mrs. Neumann I'm Joseph Stone"

"O-oh nice to meet you, no need for formalities, we're the same age" Arianna answered. Hearing this Joseph nodded before he asked "oh okay. Anyway, how did you know this is where Michael stays? You guys just met yesterday and knowing this guy, I highly doubt he'll walk anyone to his house" as he stared intensely at her.

"Oh that…" Arianna said as she avoided his gaze, droplets of sweat could be seen descending from her face as she avoided his gaze, recalling the events of yesterday.

.

A few minutes after Michael was gone, Arianna was brought out of her trance by Elijah's fake cough

"Ahem" she cleared her throat as she turned to the men behind her, her eyes turned cold as she said "so dad sent you huh?"

"Oh… about that, young miss…" Elijah said clearly frightened by Arianna's cold stare but he was able to regain his composure as he answered "yes, he told us to follow you and protect you in case you fall into any harm and one of such harms were you crying so we had to act"

"Haaa… he's so overprotective" Arianna sighed as she folded her arms and stared at the 5 men before she continued "okay I'll overlook this incident as dad just being dad. Anyway, I want you guys to follow Michael and get me his house address" this order clearly surprised everyone as Elijah asked "um why's that princess"

"Uhh well, we're classmates isn't it normal to for us to know where each other live?"

"No, it's not" the men shouted in unison but Arianna wasn't hearing any of it as she said with a smirk on her face "well fuck you, since when did you guys start asking questions? Just do your job except if you want me to tell dad about what happened today"

'Monster' they all thought but didn't say a word after all they valued their lives. Arianna seeing their expression shouted "what are you still doing here? Get moving!"

"Yes ma'am" they all shouted before vanishing from her sight.

.

Which lead to the current turn of events but she couldn't afford to tell Joseph that as she'll be called a stalker, so seeing no other solution she spouted out an all too familiar line "well we're classmates, isn't it normal to know where each other stay?"

'Not at all' Joseph thought but he didn't say that to the daughter of the world's richest, after all he was scared he wouldn't wake up the following day. So with an awkward smile he was about to say something but was cut off by Michael who said bluntly

"So you followed me yesterday, I should've expected that"

'THIS MOTHERFUCKER!!!' Joseph screamed inwardly but didn't say a thing as he looked at Arianna wondering what she was going to do but he was shocked to see her smiling as she said

"Ah Michael you're so funny" but Joseph was see that the smile was forced as veins were popping out of her head. 'Scary' Joseph thought as he began thinking of ways to cool her anger and not even a second later he said

"So Arianna, I'm curious, how's your dad like that?" As soon as those words entered her ears, her anger intensified as her eyes turned cold and the aura around her became chilly. Feeling the change in her atmosphere, Joseph cursed 'Oh shit!? Did I make even angrier fuckkk?' but he soon stopped as he heard Arianna's voice

"Oh that man is a pain in the ass, he's so overprotective and whatnot. There was this time he destroyed my girls night just because he was scared I'll get an infection. Oh he's a complete motherfucker. And it became even worse when mom died damn it…" Joseph felt bad upon hearing her words but he didn't even get a chance to sympathize with her as she continued rambling on, he could just stand and listened but it turned to shock as Michael began commenting at some points.

"Yeah parents are such a pain" he said

"Like seriously, they just can't let you get peace. It's either this or that, this is America for Christ sake, and we deserve freedom"

"Hell yeah"

At this point Joseph was beyond shocked as he shouted inwardly

'WTF IS GOING ON HERE!?'
