Ignite Me

1.

Ava's Pov -

Just another day dawns upon me, devoid of the exhilaration that comes with the gift of another chance at life. Sometimes, I find myself pondering the notion of eternal slumber, where I could peacefully rest without ever awakening. Glancing at the clock, I realized I had a mere two hours to prepare myself. Instead of squandering my time lamenting over my fortune, I rose from my bed and made my way to the washroom. I meticulously adorned myself in an enchanting ensemble, not to captivate the attention of others, but simply because I relish in the act of adorning myself for my own pleasure.

Her outfit

I gathered my books and essential supplies, making my way downstairs. I caught sight of my mom enjoying her protein bar while engrossed in the newspaper. As her gaze shifted towards me, a smile adorned her face, and I couldn't help but mirror her expression. She kindly suggested I grab an apple, knowing my reluctance to eat in the morning. Following her advice, I bid her farewell and embarked on my journey to college.This day marked my inaugural experience at this new educational institution, a result of my mom's job relocation. My father, unfortunately, passed away when I was merely seven years old. However, I always keep a cherished photograph of him tucked away in my bag and displayed on my study table. Upon stepping foot onto the campus, I found myself captivated by its sheer beauty. The abundance of trees and blooming flowers created a picturesque scene that I couldn't tear my eyes away from.As I walked through the campus, I couldn't help but notice the curious gazes of both girls and boys directed towards me. Undeterred, I made my way towards the principal's office.
As I walked into the principal's office, I was struck by the sight of a beautifully decorated cabin. The principal greeted me warmly, wearing a smile that instantly put me at ease. It turns out, he was actually friends with my mom and took the time to personally show me around the campus. It was such a kind gesture! I totally missed the first class because I was too busy exploring the campus with the principal. They even handed me a fancy schedule that seems pretty decent for a brainiac like me. The subjects on my plate are history, gym, math, English, and chemistry. Now it's time to hustle to history class. I'm all about being punctual, but let's be real, introducing myself is a daunting task for an introvert like me. I wish I could just skip that part. So, I entered the history class and took a seat on the 3rd bench. As others started coming in, some didn't even acknowledge me, which was a relief. But then, I noticed a bunch of girls whispering and giving me side-eye as they passed by. Ugh, it's never fun to be the center of attention, especially when it's for the wrong reasons. Being noticed can be such a hassle sometimes. Ah, the teacher finally entered the class, and everyone greeted her. Gotta admit, she looked pretty amazing. Then, she shifted her gaze towards me and gave me a smile. But then, she dropped the bombshell - she wanted me to introduce myself to the whole class. Ugh, that was the last thing I wanted to happen. I took a deep breath, reluctantly stood next to her, and mustered up the courage to say, "H-Hello everyone, I'm Ava Shores, a new transfer student. I hope we can all be great friends in the future." I tried to smile politely, but then someone just had to ruin it by shouting, "Hey nerd!" The whole class burst into laughter, and I just looked down, trying to brush it off. Luckily, the teacher gave that guy a glare. I quickly found my seat and tried to focus on the lecture. Let's hope the rest of the class goes smoother. After the classes concluded, I made my way to my new locker and stowed away my novels, books, and stationery. Just as I was about to leave, I noticed the corridor filled with a raucous crowd of students, their hoots and shouts filling the air. Curiosity piqued, I turned my attention to the source of the commotion and my eyes landed on a group of boys. However, one among them captivated my gaze. Our eyes locked, and in that instant, a wave of recognition washed over me. It was Aaron Russo, the very same individual who had tormented me during my middle school years. A smirk played upon his lips as he observed my reaction, confirming that he remembered me all too well. In that moment, a surge of fear and vulnerability coursed through my veins, rendering me immobile. Aaron approached me, his gang trailing behind him, and whispered in my ear, "Long time, huh? Don't think I won't continue to torment you. You'll forever be the object of my disdain." As tears welled up in my eyes, I felt a mix of emotions overwhelm me.

Aaron's pov -

As I stood there in the crowded corridor, I couldn't help but notice her. Ava. The memories of our past encounters flooded my mind, and a mischievous smirk formed on my face. I could see the fear in her eyes, and it gave me a strange sense of satisfaction. I approached her, with my gang following closely behind, relishing in the power I had over her. Leaning in, I whispered those words, knowing they would hit her hard. But deep down, there was something else stirring within me. A soft spot, a flicker of something I couldn't quite explain. What would happen if I started to feel differently about her? What if she forgave me and those feelings were reciprocated? It was a dangerous thought, one that intrigued me and terrified me at the same time.

Third person pov-

Wow, everyone was totally taken aback when Aaron turned his attention to the new girl and whispered something in her ear. It seemed like he was flirting with her, which was pretty surprising because Aaron never really paid much attention to girls. I mean, he already had Hailey as his hookup and f*ck partner. She's the captain of the cheerleading squad and basically the hottest and most popular girl on campus.
