Deja Vu [Ariel]

[CALEB RYAN HERRINGTON]

_________________________________________

Caleb was stuck in his Calculus class, the last class of the day while the rest of his classmates were working on the exit problem; instead he was just looking at the clock at the minutes remaining for class to end. He tapped his pen against the desk in a rhythmic beat lightly, making sure to not disturb anyone because god forbid he bothered anyone at solving the class equation, yeah right. Every few seconds Caleb caught a stare from one of the students looking annoyed at first, but when matching eyes with the blonde boy they quickly looked back down dealing with the noise, lightly shaking their head to show their disapproval. In all honestly, Caleb didn’t think the sound was that annoying, it was better than hearing the clock keep ticking and tock-ing. He let out a sigh as he leaned back on his deck extending his legs out and looked at the ceiling. He hated how time always seem to breeze by when he was having a blast, like the weekend, but moved like a snail during school hours. The teacher cleared her throat rather forcefully as Caleb looked over to her desk and she gave him a ‘do your work’ look.

Caleb let out a faint smile wondering why the teacher cared if these problems were just practice and were not going to be graded. The clock gave one last ‘tick’ and the bell rang putting a face gesture of relief on Caleb’s face as he picked up his notebook and quickly wrote “sorry” on the paper before putting it in the ‘turn in’ pile and walked out of the classroom putting his shades on heading to his locker. He high fived a few of his friends before making a turn to his locker, turning it to the right combination and opened it swiftly picking up his black North Face bag and closed the locker shut with his foot as he was headed to the parking lot. On his way there a few girls waved, and smiled at him as he just smirked and gave them a small wave keeping his distance, besides, he was with Jenna Taylor now. Something he didn’t plan on messing up anytime soon, or at all as a matter of fact. Caleb slowed his pace as he walked down the steps, there we countless times where he saw people miss a step causing them to do a face plant on the concrete, something he didn’t plan on experiencing anytime soon.

As he was closer to his motorcycle, he noted a few girls in their soccer uniforms walking over to the field. Caleb smirked a little shaking his head knowing that if he were single, he’d be all over it, but things change. Hey Caleb a girl shouted over to him loud enough for him to hear, it was Rachel, a girl he had some fun with a few months ago but who he didn’t really keep in touch with. He looked over and she was waving, quite desperately as Caleb smiled a little and waved quickly as he swung his leg over his bike, Stalkers he thought to himself as he turned on the engine……

[ARIEL LOLA CAPULET]

Ariel had been on the tennis courts for most of the day. She wore a short white tennis skirt, and a white tight tee. Her hair was tied up in a pony; lose curls hanging down her face. A smile danced across Ariel’s expression and in her hand was her tennis racket. She walked into the school; the air conditioning touching her; forming small goose bumps on her skin. Ariel turned, towards her office which was situated close to the gym; smiling at a few teachers and students as she went. Today had been a good day; the nicest thing about working at the school was the fact that she could relive her high school years without any of the studying.

Her office was bare as she hadn’t really made it her own; not like her apartment. Ariel glanced around and smiled a little as she set the tennis racket down on the table and perched on the end of it. She sat still for about seven minutes, only moving to top up her pink lip gloss. As soon as the student alarm set off to signal the end of the day, Ariel stood up, changed into a pair of short denim shorts, and left the office; grabbing her bag on the way out. She slung the small bag over her shoulder, and she walked along; her sneakers padding along the floor of the corridors.

She had a few papers to grade; since the school thought it was essential student’s learnt theory as well as practice, but truth be told, she just wanted to crack open a bottle of wine and relax. It was times like this when she wished she was dating. It was sat because really the last person she had hooked up with had been Caleb. Sure he was hot and he’d ticked all the boxes to get her through the summer, but he was a student and she was now a member of the faculty. It was a depressing thought that half of the guys she actually felt attracted to were now out of her reach; stupid rules.

Ariel made her way over to her bike. She had a car, but the tennis player much preferred her motorcycle. It made her feel so much more rebellious. There was just so much more freedom with a bike than anything else. Of course riding a motorcycle in a short tennis skirt wasn’t exactly ideal; which was the exact reason Ariel had changed. Her stomach flipped as she spotted Caleb climbing onto his bike; which was positioned next to hers. Great! She thought to herself before she walked over with an air of confidence.

The blonde swung her leg over the bike elegantly, and glanced at her hook up buddy. ”Hey Cal.” She smiled, knowing that he knew she worked at the school, it was a bit awkward. ”I was just thinking about you actually.” She smirked, knowing he knew she had a bit of a dirty imagination. ”You had a good day?” She asked absentmindedly as she leant over the bike glancing into the mirror to check her make up before she set off.
