A/N: Hello. This is my first longer fan fiction and I hope you enjoy it. My friends and I all share this account…well, not really, more like we write stories for our benefits but decided to put them up to see what people thought of them. Here goes nothing!! Also I know Atlanta is in a younger grade than them all but for the purposes of this story I am just going to say the team are in certain classes together.
This certain story was written by me (Call Me Anya) but don't worry reviews will be read by all members of the team…Love Paradox-Barbarian-Princess
Archie's World and Atlanta's Jealousy
"Attention Class! You have a new student today, her name is Calli," Called Mr. Hermes(Who would be a better math teacher?), "Atlanta and Theresa please show her around."
Atlanta looked to the doorway only to see the most beautiful girl she had ever witnessed walk through. The only person she knew who compared to this girl was Theresa. She stood at the front of the class and waved shyly and smiled. Her teeth were straight and white with round cheeks framing them. Innocent blue eyes observed the class with a look of dread and hope. Walking to the empty desk by Theresa, her long coppery-gold hair swung in ringlet's at the middle of her back. Her perfect lithe body gracefully slipped into her desk. Atlanta noticed she was fairly short and her hips were almost as curvy as Theresa's. Calli greeted Theresa and sat quietly, a small smile apparent on her large luscious lips.
Atlanta was jealous; there was no doubt about it.
Archie ran his hands through his purple Mohawk, scanning the crowd for Atlanta. Spotting her with Theresa and another strange girl he ran to them.
"Hey Atlanta." He grinned. Atlanta waved and pointed to the strange girl.
"Hey Archie, meet Calli. She's a new girl." Archie glanced over to see a pretty girl with long curly copper-ish hair.
"Hey." He greeted turning back to Atlanta, "How did your math test go?" Atlanta was momentarily stunned by Archie's lack of admiration for Calli's looks. Before she knew it she found a large smile spreading across her face and a giddy laugh escape her.
"I failed it completely."
"Then why exactly are you smiling?" Archie asked puzzled.
The four sat at a table and waited for the rest of the group to get to lunch and join them. Atlanta and Theresa quickly filled Calli in on the rest of their friends.
"Well there is Odie. He's visiting someone but he should be back soon. He's a total brainy-ack dork but for some strange reason we love him. He's black and has an afro." Atlanta declared grinning. Theresa rolled her eyes and nodded solemnly.
"He honestly is like a super genius. Anyway, there is also Neil and Archie," Theresa graciously looked at Archie, "Neil is super self-centered, really good looking and ultra lucky. Archie is a complete failure as you can see…"
"Oh shut it Drama Queen!" Archie retorted hotly. Atlanta almost fell off her seat from laughing. Wiping away a pretend tear she looked at Archie.
"Don't worry, Archie, even if you are a complete failure we love you to." Glaring at Atlanta he murmured a "Thanks so very much." And dug into his sandwich.
Taking up where Theresa left off Atlanta started talking again.
"There are 6 of us in the group. Neil, Archie, Theresa, myself, Herry, Odie and Jay-"
Theresa interrupted, "Jay is our leader. He has brown hair and he's smart, handsome, responsible, respectful, honest-"
"What Drama Queen here is trying to say is she's like totally in love with Jay, so like he's totally like off limits!" Archie informed her putting an extreme girly tone into his voice. Atlanta laughed again at the expense of Theresa. Daggers shot out of Theresa's luminous green eyes straight into Atlanta.
"Speak of the devil…" Atlanta said gasping for air. Theresa whirled around only to find herself immersed in large brown eyes. Jay swiftly sat down beside her and greeted Calli. Calli said hello back trying not to erupt in a gale of laughter.
"So Terri, we still up for 'Disney Movie Marathon' tonight?" Jay wondered.
Theresa blushed and replied, 'Yeah, but can Calli come? Please Jayy…" Jay then made the fatal mistake of looking into her eyes. They were round and seemed like they would cry if he said no. Her lip was slightly pouted and Jay had an intense urge to kiss it and see if it tasted quite as good as it looked.
"Fine." He gave in knowing he would definitely get a hug out of this. What Theresa did surprised and exceeded his hopeful expectations of a hug.
"Thank you Jay! Wow, we can have a sleepover and everything…Yay!" Then she leaned over and kissed Jay's cheek. Jay blushed furiously and glared at Archie and Atlanta who were trying to compose themselves into a state of non-laughter. After the shock of Theresa's lips had moderately worn off he started listening again.
"Okay we will come meet your dad and then go to our house."
"Your house?" Calli sounded puzzled.
"Yeah, we share a house…like we live together." Archie explained. Calli flushed and looked straight at Theresa and Jay.
"Together?" she squeaked.
Theresa started choking and managed to gasp out, "No we have s-s-separate rooms!" Calli felt bad and apologized, but they insisted no apology was needed. Anxiety of having maybe upset her new friends vanished. They were so awesome but there was something so familiar tugging at her about Atlanta. Just as she was about to remember what it was a deep voice cut into her train of thought.
"Oh, hello Calli, it's nice to meet you. I'm Herry."
Staring up from her spot at the bench all she could see was a broad chest and a smiling face. Standing on the table to get a good look at his face, she tripped over a shoelace and came crashing into the large mass of muscle. Instead of him falling over as she expected he stood steadily while placing her back on the table.
Returning her breathing to normal she went to thank Herry but found herself staring at a handsome man with rugged brown hair and chocolate eyes. Inhaling sharply Calli looked him up and down. He was an intimidating size, especially to her 5'3" but she found she didn't fear him. 'He has a gentle soul' Calli thought, 'He seems the type who would sleep with a teddy bear' (A/N: Little did she know…)
"Uhh…Thanks." She muttered breathlessly.
Atlanta nudged Archie's rib. "Did she just check him out?"
Archie replied with a question of his own,"Do I smell romance?" They both snickered quietly.
Calli met Neil after school as they were walking to her house and almost immediately he flipped out a three paneled mirror and started checking himself out. As they walked Jay and Theresa fell behind. They continued chatting obliviously until Jay noticed Theresa shivering. Her teeth chattered and Jay worked up a teensy bit of courage.
"Are you cold Terri?" He asked. She nodded sheepishly and he slung his jacket onto her shoulders. She blushed and leaned against him, her silent thank-you.
"Race you to the street sign Archie!" Atlanta challenged bolting away. Archie sprinted after her trying to catch up. They went straight past the street sign and into the park beyond. Archie finally caught up with Atlanta who had slowed down somewhere after the sign. Grabbing her waist he spun her around in the air eventually collapsing on his back in the grass. Atlanta fell down beside him dizzy. The grass was a little wet but she didn't particularly care.
"What was that for? I already won." She declared. Archie looked very solemn and in a very worried tone he replied, "Well, you see I was going full speed and I would have crashed through the park, hurting innocent civilians and most likely drowning myself in the pond."
Atlanta snorted, "You're not that fast Arch." Archie smiled at her name for him. Most people would think he would have everyone call him Arch instead of Archie, but he only wanted Atlanta calling him that. She was his best friend after all and he had a small crush on her. 'Don't lie to yourself Arch' his mind traitorously whispered. 'Fine,' he snapped back silently, 'I'm in love with her, jeez.'
"Hey Arch, what's up?" A concerned Atlanta wondered. He had gone from being almost ecstatically happy to brooding in a few seconds.
"Oh nothing just having a talk with the conscience in here," he tapped his head to show his meaning. Atlanta laughed.
"Oh, really about what?" She said skeptically. Searching desperately for a way out of the question without lying to Atlanta he finally found one.
"My world." He answered softly. (A/N: awe 3)
Atlanta and Archie made it back to the group in time to hear Calli saying, "If your polite and nice my dad will like you, so don't worry." Archie seemed to grow bitter at the statement and as they drew closer to the house at the end of the street his mood grew bleak.
Stepping up to the door the six teens plus Calli opened the door. The curly haired brunette bolted towards a tall, grey haired man with a blue t-shirt on.
"Daddy!!"
"Hello sweetheart, how was your day at school?" He asked lovingly.
"Wonderful. I made new friends and I was just wondering if I could sleep over at their house. I brought them home to meet you. This is Jay, Neil and Theresa. I would be sleeping over at Theresa's." The three teens waved and shook hands. Calli's dad immediately approved of them.
"This is Atlanta and Archie," Calli introduced the red haired girl who came up and politely greeted him. Archie hovered over her like a thundercloud and was barely a foot away from her for a moment or two. He gave the older man a barely civil hello and then went to stand near Atlanta again. She kept glancing over at Archie and wondering where his usual friendly to the point of being creepy attitude went.
"And this Herry." Calli's dad immediately went to inspect the buff man and finding his appearance to his liking he shook his hand.
"I love your home, sir. It smells like fresh baking." Herry complimented him. (A/N: Only Herry...lol)
"Call me Richard, and that smell Herry, is the smell of Calli's chocolate cake." Calli's dad laughed. Calli blushed modestly and then said good bye to her dad ushering her new friends to the door.
"Calli you be careful, I love you." Richard called from the house. Calli returned the farewell and sped away with her friends.
"He likes you. That's wonderful!" Calli sang happily. Everyone kept sending Archie strange glances.
"I've heard of over-protection and all but even for Archie wasn't that a little, well, weird?" Jay asked Theresa quietly. Archie however heard them and turned his blue eyes of ice onto theirs. His stony face conveyed a message but he turned back to quickly for Theresa to interpret it. She did know however that it had something to do with Calli's dad, Atlanta and Archie's past.
Okay well that's the beginning I will keep updating regularly since I don't have much of a life. Review if you wish. Constructive criticism welcome. Oh and PS: sorry about any spelling or grammar mistakes I tried to catch them all.
Ta-Ta for now,
Anya, of the Paradox-Barbarian-Princess gang!!
