My Way To You

"My girls had the same problem before we went out. Thrill of planning and working out the small details. It"s very exhilarating but once your fascination is quenched your mind will stop racing and you will be able to sleep." Talisha said as she rubbed her right eye. "So you"re not entirely immune to it then?" Ariana said with a small chuckle. "G*d no! Not with what we want have to plan out." Talisha said as she dropped her voice to a hush. "Well, I think you"re right though. Maybe after I see Cayden... certain things... can be discussed and a.s.sessed. You know fine tuning and things... smoothing out the wrinkles... and such." Ariana said in a dreamy tone as a flirtatious smile spread across her face.

"You"re bad." Talisha shouted as she gave Ariana a playful push. "Not as bad as you! You"re mind went there first, mine didn"t!" Ariana shouted back as she blushed. "Oh did it now? Then how do you explain what my mind was thinking? Mmmh? Well then? Cause your blushing face says others wise!" Talisha shouted with a big laugh. "Oh! I want to know what"s going on in your minds!" Halina said as she sobered up. "No you don"t!" Ariana yelled as she turned a deeper red. "Is it s.e.x related?" Edlyn asked nonchalantly.

"Edlyn!" Ariana gasped in surprise. "Well that"s not a big deal. Thought it was something more interesting." Halina said with a shrug. "What?!" Ariana and Talisha both shouted. "I am the youngest and the only girl in my family! My brother"s once or twice dragged me along to peek on the older ones dates. It was supposed to be educational but all it did was turn me off. It"s just people taking clothes off, kissing, moaning, sometimes crying and then my brother makes a grunt and they lay down. It"s not that exciting." Halina said nonchalantly. "Was this in their teen years?" Talisha asked as Ariana"s head started to spin. "Of Course! I was still small then! Like I would go on their adventures now that I"m older and know better. What"s worse, is since I know they would openly do it wherever if they thought they were alone. There were times I walking in on them. I"m telling you not that exciting." Halina said as her face burned red.

"That is not s.e.x.... well not good s.e.x at least. Teens don"t know how to satisfy women at that age, it"s more instinctual desire." Edlyn said matter-of-factly. "I"m impressed you can talk about it as if you have experience." Talisha said with a smirk. "Hardly! Have you seen her act around Xander. This kid is pure!" Ariana shouted as she pointed to Edlyn. "I maybe pure but I read naughty books too!" Edlyn shouted in embarra.s.sment. "There are naughty books?" Talisha, Ariana and Halina said in unison. "Yes there are! I sometimes read them when I need a bit of excitement." Edlyn said as she averted her gaze.

"I think Halina needs that type of excitement too, so she can understand what we mean." Talisha said bluntly. "Sure but my mind won"t be changed." Halina said with a heavy sigh. "Prepare to have your mind blown." Ariana said as she put her hand on top of Halina"s shoulder and shook her head. "Honestly it"s just s.e.x." Halina replied.

By the time lunch rolled around Halina was too absorbed into the novel that Edlyn let her borrow. "Do you think this time she will get the food in her mouth?" Talisha asked as she nodded towards Halina. "Doubt it." Ariana said as she watched Halina"s chicken fried cauliflower rice fall off the spoon while Halina absentmindedly put the empty spoon into her mouth. "Halina I told you. If you want to eat and read you should have grabbed a sandwich instead." Edlyn groaned as she pulled the book back. "Ahh my book." Halina whined as she tried to grab the book back.

"Eat first then you can have it back." Edlyn said firmly as she pointed the book towards Halina"s plate. "Well at least I didn"t make a mess." Halina said with an awkward laugh. "Really Halina, I"m glad you are ... cough... broaden your horizons but you"re eating like a slob!" Ophelia honked as she pecked at Halina"s back. "Ow! Alright Ophelia! I"ll be good." Halina responded with a giant pout. Ariana quickly started to gather her dishes before she stood up. "Where you going in such a hurry?" Talisha asked as she took a huge bite of her fried chicken sandwich.

"I want to go look for Cayden, see if he got anywhere with his father." Ariana said as a tiny blush kissed her cheeks. "Already leaving to go see your husband?" Edlyn said in a sad tone but her eyes betrayed her as they shone with playfulness. "Ha ha, not married yet." Ariana said as she rolled her eyes. "Gud duck!" Halina said with a mouthful of food. Ophelia pecked her again reminding her if her manners.

Ariana quickly disposed of her tray and dishes before she left the mess hall. "Have you seen him yet?" Ariana asked her Lumas, who were more than eager to help her. "Sorry no." Loralei said as she desperately looked around some more. "It"s fine. We have some time." Ariana said as she starting walking around the school grounds.

It wasn"t long before she wondered close to the school communication board. From a far she spotted a tall male with cropped black hair and fair skin posting up a new bulletin. "Payton Cress!" Ariana shouted as she ran up to him. Payton turned around, pushing his black framed gla.s.ses up the bridge of his strong nose. "Miss Drake." He greeted monotonously. "Payton, by chance have you seen Cayden at all today?" She asked hopefully. Payton looked at Ariana for a while before sighing. "No, he"s on leave." He answered. "Oh for how long?" Ariana asked but Payton grabbed Ariana"s arm firmly instead of answering.

Before Ariana could say anything Payton pulled her closer and then pointed to the bulletin. "Do you know what you need to do?" He asked firmly, confusing Ariana. She looked at Payton"s furious face then turned her gaze to where he was pointing. A fun, colourful advertis.e.m.e.nt was pinned against the board. "I should probably read that first... you know so I can understand what your so mad about." Ariana said awkwardly as she turned back to Payton. "So?" He said bitterly, making Ariana feel more uncomfortable. "So can you please let me go?" She said as she pointed to her arm.

Payton automatically let go of her arm and watched her. Ariana could feel her situation get more awkward by the second and she then turned to the advertis.e.m.e.nt again. "The Student Council is looking for a new secretary-treasurer but candidates can only be nominated then elected.... so what do you want me to do?" Ariana asked as she turned back to Payton. "The next meeting for the representatives and the Student Council will be later this evening. We will be briefed about Callista Bravo. We don"t want to tarnish the school"s reputation, so she needs to be replaced. The Student Council will ask who are nominations are. At that time you will nominate Vera." Payton said coolly.

"Sure, I have no problem with that. I think that"s a great idea." Ariana answered nonchalantly. Payton became dumbfounded. "Cough, cough.. You do realize that... cough... this is not a joke. You had Vera kicked off the representatives, crushing her dreams so hiyou need to fix this." Payton said as he slowly composed himself. "Do you see me as some sort of moron?" Ariana asked with a firm tone making Payton take a step back. "Vera did something against the school policies and procedures, she tried to a.s.sert her power but when she couldn"t she tried to humiliate me instead. I knew nothing and you think that the whole situation is my fault? Her dismissal from the representatives was her own doing and I will not sit ideally as you place blame on me just because you lost contact with whom you admire." Ariana said coldly as she furrowed her brows.

While Payton pursed his lips. He had nothing to reb.u.t.tal. "However, she has redeemed herself and I do she why everyone wanted her to be their representative. Unlike me, everyone loved and trusted her. She is a wonderful role model and mentor and it would be a shame if her dream on wanting to be on the Student Council is not achieved. So I will nominate Vera but I am not doing it because you tried to strong arm me or because I feel guilty. Let me make this clear, I believe the Student Council would be stupid for not having her on their team.... I also don"t want to go and nominate Vera with out her consent. So if you could excuse me, I will go find my mentor... my friend and see if this is what she truly desires." Ariana said as she gave Payton an icy glare before turning around.

"Oh Payton." Ariana called out as her back faced him. Payton refused to respond so Ariana waited a minute before turning slightly to see if he was still there. She caught sight of him in her peripheral vision and smirked. He was standing directly behind her, fuming with embarra.s.sment. "You put your hands on hands on me today. You tried to force me to do some against my will... I don"t appreciate that. So be prepared, I will make you pay for scaring me. I will get my revenge on you and don"t think I can"t. Men like you need to be taught a lesson. So I am warning you now. I will rip your beating heart out of your chest and tear it to pieces." She said darkly making Payton freeze for a second. "Don"t worry I don"t mean it literally... I now know where your heart truly lies." She said before walking off, leaving Payton wide eyed with fear.

"Did you really have to go that far?" Duko asked as he looked back at Payton. "Silence mutt! Ariana has shown her foe a glimpse of her blood l.u.s.t! She will never be pushed around again!" Rahul laughed wildly into the air. "Besides Ariana would never hurt someone she considers a friend." Loralei chimed in as she bounced along side Ariana. "Are you so sure? I mean I am under watch, who knows when I would snap and actually kill my own?" Ariana said as half her face shrouded in darkness. "You would never!" Davita shouted as she flapped her bat like wings furiously. "So what if she did?" Vasu said as he flew towards Ariana"s shoulder and snuggled against her. "Ariana is Ariana and we know she has her reasons." He said as he stayed against her body.

Ariana burst into laughter as she brought her hands up and cuddled Vasu. "Of course I wouldn"t. I treasure friendship more than anything." She said as a bright smile spread across her face. "I"m not that much of a monster to disregard relationships. Well... I did make Cayden mine so I"m not an angel but I needed to scare that p.r.i.c.k! If he cares about Vera he should be running to her to warn her or get into a fight, hopefully making him confess his feelings for her." Ariana giggled as she pictured the scene in her mind. "I knew it! You would never hurt people intentionally!" Davita cheered as she flipped in the air. "But your love of match making will be your downfall." Duko said as his ears flopped downwards. "Payton is a good guy and Vera... is a little heartbroken at the moment. What better way to bounce back then to be confessed to so you can forget about past feelings?" She said brightly.

"Personal gain." Vasu said as he looked up at Ariana. "So what if I gain from it too? I"m also human I can get jealous too." Ariana responded with a pout. "Well I should go find Vera and talk to her about being nominated... after school! Let"s give Payton time to sweat and actual grow a pair." Ariana laughed as she planned on what to do.

The remainder of the day Ariana would go to the third year cla.s.ses to flaunt her devilish glares at Payton as she tried to get close to Vera. Every time he saw her and her sinister smile he would run and pull Vera away with whatever excuse he could think of. Ariana couldn"t help but laugh when she would walk back to her cla.s.s.

The afternoon flew by and it was finally after school. Ariana ran up to Vera and waved happily as she approached her. Payton immediately ran to her side and said something. Ariana slowed down her pace and watched as Vera got into a heated argument with Payton. "Look Payton, I have no idea what has been going on with you lately but you"re starting to get on my nerves." Vera said in an annoyed tone as she rubbed her temples with the tips of her index fingers.

"No, Vera! You don"t understand! I have been trying to protect you this whole time!" Payton shouted as his prim and proper appearance started to unravel with every step Ariana took towards them. Ariana"s eyes glowed with murderous intent as a sinister smile appeared on her face. Payton"s eyes grew wide with fear and he grabbed Vera"s shoulders in desperation. "Just come with me right now! I can"t explain but you need to leave here!" Payton shouted as he gave her a little shake.

"What the h.e.l.l is wrong with you?" Vera shouted as she broke free from Payton"s grasp. "You need to stay away from that she demon! She will hurt you to get to me!" Payton shouted as he pointed towards Ariana. Vera turned to see who Payton was pointing at and instantly smiled when she met with Ariana"s bright and innocent smile. "Ariana! Are you looking for me?" Vera asked as she took a step forward. "No!" Payton yelled as he grabbed Vera"s hand and held her back. "Payton?!" Vera shouted as she turned back to face him. Ariana brought up her hand and covered her mouth as she showed Payton a mockingly evil face, openly laughing at him. "You can"t go I need to protect you!" Payton shouted.

"Payton I don"t need or want your protection!" Vera angrily shouted back. "I can"t lose you." Payton said as he pulled Vera into his embrace. "What are you even saying?" Vera said in complete shock. "I love you, I can"t lose you, I need to protect you... So please let me protect you." He said as he held Vera tightly. "Finally!" Ariana shouted as she clapped her hands in delight. "I thought it would take forever for you to confess!" She said as she continued to approach the two. Vera pulled out of Payton"s embrace and turned to Ariana. "Can you please tell me what"s going on?" Vera said as her face blazed apple red. "Only if you answer his confession first then I will tell you everything." Ariana said cheerfully. Vera turned to Payton and looked him in the eyes.

"Moron! Couldn"t you have told me this sooner!" She shouted then pulled on his blazer making him bend down. The moment he was close enough she kissed him. Cheers could be heard all around them and the two separated immediately. They completely forgot that they were in the quad in front of the school and everyone had gathered to watch the show. "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce the new happy couple! Congratulations Vera DuChamp and Payton Cress!" Ariana shouted and another round of applause erupted. Vera turned redder as she received everyone"s good wishes while Payton grinned like a fool. When the cheering died down Ariana turned to the couple and gestured them towards a more isolated spot. "If you don"t mind I would like to have a chat with you." She said as she gave Vera a sly smirk.

"What"s this about?" Vera said as she raised an eyebrow. "Nothing really just fulfilling a promise." Ariana said playfully as she looked at Payton. Payton placed himself in between Ariana and Vera. He stared down Ariana as he puffed out his chest. Ariana couldn"t hold on to her stoic face any more and started to laugh. "Can someone please explain what"s going on?" Vera pleaded as she walked around Payton. "I"m sorry!" Ariana cried as she held her gut. "I wanted to rip out Payton"s cowardly heart and give him a new one." She said as she took deep breaths to calm herself down. "Wait, what?" Vera and Payton said in unison. "Payton p.i.s.sed me off so I scared him a little. I was 99% sure he would confess to you. There by killing that cowardly heart of his but I had no idea how you felt about him. Honestly I thought you would leave him hanging and he would have to court you until you got over Cayden.... But everything turned out great! Since you feel the same way and all so... ta da new, stronger, braver heart! Your welcome." Ariana said as she winked at Payton.

Payton facepalmed himself and groaned. "So Vera was never in any danger? You just played me like a fool and got your revenge?" Ariana looked at Payton with a giant grin. "Yes." She answered bluntly. "Why did you think I was in love with Cayden?" Vera asked in confusion. "The way you acted around him was misleading! How was I to know any better?" Ariana said pitifully. Vera moved up and pinched both of Ariana"s cheeks. "By asking!" She said. "But you blushed!" Ariana said as her face stretched out. "of course I did! Another guy touched me in front of Payton! I hoped he would step up and say something like "She"s mine! Don"t touch her so easily." or you know whatever..." Vera said as she let Ariana"s face go. Her face turned a brighter red as she looked away.

"So when Cayden broke off the engagement with Vanessa?" Ariana said as she rubbed her cheeks. "Jealous... I wanted to have a scene like that with the one I loved." Vera replied as she peeked at Payton. "I"m glad you got your wish... well one of your wishes. I want to know if you want the other one granted?" Ariana said as she gave a cheeky grin. "What"s that?" Vera asked. "Joining the Student Council..."
