I sat in the school yard of our small town high school I attended. The hot sun that has not yet adjusted to the fall causing trickles of sweat on my back. My best friend Louis Tomlinson and his boyfriend Axel Styles continuously chatted about how they were going to make our last year of high school the best yet. Tuning the two out, I began to scan the parking lot and the remainder of the front lawn.

I had always been hoping that we would get a new kid but we never do. To be completely honest, Walla Walla, Washington isn't exactly anyone's dream town to live in. It is quite warm in the summer and quite cold in the winter. Walla Walla has no malls and doesn't have many big name stores. The biggest town anywhere near here is in Tri-Cities and it isn't exactly a 10 minute drive.

I cam across many familiar faces. Except for one. The mysterious boy had blonde hair that stood tall and even from a distance I could tell he had piercing blue eyes. Though he may have not been familiar he was walking with the oh-so-familiar group.

"Ari, you okay?" Louis asked. My eyes quickly darted to him, hoping he wouldn't have been able to see where my gaze had been. But I was too late. "Hun, that boy isn't worth the anxiety. You need to forget he ever existed in your life."

He was right. Louis had been referring to my ex-boyfriend - Axel's brother - Harry Styles. We had dated freshman and half of sophomore year, all being before the tattoos, the piercings, and well being cruel. Before the drinking, the drugs, and the constant partying. Before he decided to become a giant prick along with his two best friends Liam Payne and Zayn Malik.

Sitting on the patio of the best ice cream place in town had become a ritual for us. Blair - my other best friend -, Louis, Axel, and I began to devour our favorite ice creams while getting a nice view of Main Street downtown.

"Did you guys see the new guy?" Blair blurted out as she began to make small talk on the subject we were all dying to discuss.

I scoffed rolling my eyes. "Don't even get me started on him." Blair and Louis' eyes widen as to signal me to shut the hell up but I shrugged it off. "He showed up late to Ms. Grant's class and then did absolutely nothing in it. He, then, proceeds to prance around with Harry and his minions thinking he his all that and a bag of chips and I'm like: 'Sir, you ain't that tasty'."

An unfamiliar voice whispers in my ear, sending tingles down my back and goosebumps to appear. "You know, Princess, it isn't very nice to talk shit about other people behind their backs."Turning around to face him I give him a simple shrug. "Have nothing to say? Should surprise me. I mean look at you. You hang out with two gays and girl who has stick shoved so far up her ass it may as well be coming out of her mouth."

That was the moment I lost it. I stood up, completely turning around to face him. "Well, at least, I don't waste my time with a bunch of manipulative assholes who will never go anywhere in life."
With that I sat back down leaving him speechless. My best friends look at me in shock and I, too, must admit that I was surprised by my own outburst.

Mystery Boy left moments after I had returned to my seat. None of us said anything for at least five minutes. We just sat there eating our ice cream in silence, processing the events that had just happened.

One thing that popped into my mind was: One point to Arizona, Zero to Mystery Boy.
