Him and Her-Chapter 1

 This all happened about two years ago when I met Chase, back then he was sweet, cute and all the other things you could imagine the perfect guy to be but then we went to high school and everything changed.

                                                          Two Years Ago

  We walked through the middle school hall ways together Chase’s arm around my shoulder and a big smile on my face I couldn’t believe I could get Chase Taylor’s arm around ME. We parted a little ways down the hall   way I had to go to lunch and he had to be in math, his worst subject.

  Suddenly, I saw my best friend, Sahara Alexander, walking down the hallway towards me. At school she had curly platinum white-blond hair, she also had squinted blue-green eyes, average lips and a super thin body like a model’s. Compared to her looks I was nothing, my long brown hair swayed beneath my hips, my legs    and chubby my arms, the same.

   “Hey Ell.” Sahara said as she walked towards me and waved her perfect pale little hand at me, the sound of her bracelets clinked at they hit her elbow. She stopped beside me towering over me with her high heels and her light blue book bag hung over her shoulder.

  “Hey  Aria” I replied as I tightened my grip my binder holding it closer to my chest.

  “Where you going next?” she asked me in clear average voice.

 “Ah let me check.” I said as I gave her my binder and searched through my pocket to find the new schedule for this trimester.

“I have LA next what about you?” She gave me back my binder and reached into her book bag.

“I’ve got…. Math, ughhh I hate math.” She told me as she stuffed it back in her bag in a mad way.

“Come on let’s just go to lunch.”

“Kk.” She answered and walked along with me.

We stopped by my locker on the way there, I stuffed my binder, book and waterbottle in it and shut it then we  continued on down the hall and went into the cafeteria.

I walked down the lunch line, picking up little paper bowls full of grapes, mac and cheese, and other foods. Then, I grabbed two cups of soda and walked to our usual table giving Aria her cup.

“Oh my god, you are not going to believe who I saw Monica with today.” She said waving her hands around as if it were the most important subject in the world.

“Who?” I asked kind of interested.

“it was Nath-“ she cut off suddenly starring at what was happening behind her.

Chase was coming this way I looked back towards Aria and ran my hands over my hair a few times to smooth it out.

 “How do I look?” I asked her with a smile.

“Yeah, yeah you look fine but the question is why is Chase Taylor coming towards our table?”

 I couldn’t stop smiling as he sat down and kissed me on the cheek.

 “Aria, me and Chase are going out.”

    “WHAT!?!” she said in her loud booming voice that made the whole cafeteria stop and stare at her.

 “How come you never told me?” she said suddenly noticing how loud her voice was and trying to be quieter.

 “Because I knew you would make a big deal out of it.”

“But it is a big deal!” She replied her voice getting louder slightly.

“Um, I’m right here you know.” Chase cut in.

  “Shoo, shoo, girls doing business here.” She replied waving a hand at him but keeping her focus on me.

 “Just be quiet.” I said to her as I got up, dumped my tray and left, Chase’s arm around my waist.

  “Ugh, whatever.” Aria mumbled under her breath as she jumped up, dumped her tray and headed for math.
