The school bell rang as the students started to departure from their classes and so did Ara. She left from her class with Bella and walked through the corridor while talking with her. As they reached the end of the corridor, one of the major elites blocked her way.
"Hey! Ara!"
"Oh! H-hello Ron. Do you need anything?" Ara said smiling lightly trying her best to remain her posture and not expose herself in front of him. "U-um.... I was wondering if you would be my partner for the chemistry project we have..." he said hesitatingly while Ara became shocked. Bella nudged Ara's shoulder signalling her to say yes..
Ara couldn't believe it. The guy whom she crushed on since the start of middle school actually wants her to be his project partner. You know what this means? They will study together, work together and who knows maybe Ara will also get a chance to go to his house!
Her thoughts were interrupted by loud whispers of Bella who kept shaking Ara constantly...
"Yes! Yes! Say yes!!!" Bella whispered to Ara which fortunately got unnoticed by Ron as he was busy admiring Ara's beautiful features.
Ara opened her mouth to say yes but then a sudden thought crossed her mind.. She has to partner up with Adrien!
She sighed while closing her eyes irritatingly but opening them back the next second, "Sorry Ron. I can't.... Mr. Collins wants me to help the new student with his studies so I have with partner up with him.... M-maybe some other day?"
Ara noticed the disappointment on Ron's face before he could hide it. She honestly felt very sad as she was waiting for an opportunity like this for ages and now that she finally got it, she has to give it up just because of that blond haired jerk!
"Oh! O-okay! It's totally fine if your busy.... See you tomorrow then?" He said a turned around leaving with disappointment.
"Yeah! See you--" Ara shouted from behind but noticed that he had already gone. "Tomorrow...." she said almost in a whisper. She looked like she was about to cry but Bella held her shoulders. "Hey! It's Okay! You will have many other chances! And when you do, don't forget to tell him how you feel okay?" Bella tried to cheer her friend up which actually kind of worked as Ara smiled and they both shared a warm friendly hug.
They both broke the hug and Ara said, "Thanks Bella."
"Your welcome. Now let's go?" Bella grabbed Ara's hand as they ran towards the gate. Ara noticed her bodyguard waiting for her as she waved to Bella giving her a last smile and went to sit inside her car soon heading back to her house...
