I looked at my hand. How can I be so reckless? I touched the golden arrow tip and not only that, I looked at Juliette, a human.

Thankfully, since I wasn't directly hit by my arrow, the effects will happen slowly. Even so, I'm going to fall for her, one way or another. Then I just had to hit her with my stupid lead arrows. At least it only grazed her, but the effects will happen slowly too.

I sighed, it's Valentine's Day. The most important day of the year, and I made one mistake after the next. Especially the one when I told her about me, but I had to. I'm going to need to keep an eye on her, I trust her with my secret. She's pretty smart, and probably doesn't want to look insane. Most of the time when someone sees me, like kids, seniors, or hopeless romantics that haven't found the one, they go around and tell people. But who will believe little kids, old guys going senile and, bachelors/bachelorettes whining about love that they saw Cupid?

But Juliette? She's not like any of them. She's so innocent, she thinks that she has her life planned out right then and there. And she's too oblivious about how that Drew looks at her, though she can do better than him. She doesn't give love a second thought, all she does is work. But that's going to change, she met Cupid.

She'll have to take a detour on that life plan of hers.

Someone shook me. "Juliette, wake up!"

I snorted awake from my dream of me signing autographs of my latest book and album.

"Why are you asleep?"

"Why are you awake?"

"I'm serious, Juliette."

"I. Need. Sleep."

I slightly looked up and saw Phoebe.

I groaned, "Whaddya want, Phoebe?"

"What are you doing in the school's recording room fast asleep?"

"I usually hang out here when it's my free period.." I said. "I thought you knew that already."

"I do, but you haven't done your 'Songs of the Hour.' Ms. Adams sent me to find what happened."

"Oh, sorry. I didn't get to sleep last night so I planned to crash during free period."

"Excuses, excuses. Just do your thing," and she left the recording room.

I sighed, I wanted to sleep really badly and decided to skip my 'Songs of the Hour.' This is how I keep up my popularity status, I'm the school's personal DJ, DJ Jewelz. (My friends came up with the name even though it's lame, but it sort of stuck.) I asked Ms. Adams if I could play songs through the school's sound system, I even offered to say the school announcements during that. She was so up for it, since she herself knows how boring the announcements are, and even bought me an $100 iTunes gift card, sweet deal right? Now I play songs for entertainment as long as the songs are clean and no heavy rapping.

I got my laptop and headphones from my backpack. I connected my laptop to the schools sound system and opened up VirtualDJ Home Free. I clicked the announcement mike on and tapped on it.

"Helloooo, students of Angeles Heights! This is you favorite person, DJ Jewelz!"

I picked up a piece of paper filled with announcements that Ms. Adams writes down for me. "We have a couple of announcements. Today's lunch is pepperoni pizza with tater tots, hope you enjoy. We have a transfer student in our school, so try not to bully him and so on. Coach George is looking for new recruits for the school's football team, tryouts start tomorrow. And we should all give a hand to the student committee who setted up the Valentine's Day Dance."

"Now it's your favorite time of the day, my 'Songs of the Hour!' Yesterday was Valentine's Day, and most of you couples hanged out with each other. But this song is for the people who didn't find that 'special someone'. And who else can we blame than the man himself, Cupid."

I hit play and listened as the hallways were filled with the lyrics of 'Stupid Cupid.' Satisfied with my job, I put the songs at into shuffle. I wonder what Cupid, I mean Erik, is up to? He'll probably be mad at me for playing this song. But hey, it's for the listeners. I set my head down and fell back to sleep.

I chowed down on my pepperoni pizza.

"Nice work, Juliette," some kid said as he passed by our table.

Another said, "That was awesome.

"Could you play this song next?" Someone requested. "I haven't heard it in a while."

I nodded.

"So do you know who the transfer student is?" Karen asked me.

I shook my head. "No, it was only in the announcements, and Ms. Adam's didn't write down the name."

"She didn't have to," Phoebe said. "The new guy was in my class and one word can be described."

"What?"

"Hot."

Dylan said, "I think I know who you're talking about. I saw him walking the hallway with girls following him."

"Wow, he has an elite of stalkers already." I smiled.

"I printed out a music sheet for 'Stupid Cupid'." Charlie said. "Juliette, can I use your laptop?"

"Sure."

I turned it on and handed it to her. She pulled out a piano sheet and her flexible piano keyboard (I know right?) and plugged it in my laptop. Everyone in the cafeteria quieted down. Charlie is well known for her musical talent, and they learn to respect it with her aggressive side. Janice, Phoebe and I nudge each other, who'll go first.

Charlie started to play, she's really good.

Janice gave in and sang, "Stupid cupid you're a real mean guy, I'd like to clip your wings so you can't fly."

A bunch of people whistled but were scolded to quieted down.

Phoebe came in, "I am in love and it's a crying shame and I know you're the one to blame."

"Hey, hey, set me free. Stupid Cupid," I paused. "Stop picking on me."

Everyone cheered as all three of us sang in harmony. We all stood on top of our tables.

"I can't do homework and I can't think straight."

"I meet him every morning 'bout half past 8," Phoebe said then Janice sang, "I'm acting like a lovesick fool."

"You've even got me carrying his books to school."

We leant on each others backs. "Hey, hey, set me free. Stupid cupid. Stop picking on me!

"You mixed me up for good right from the very start." I sang. "Hey now, go play Robin Hood with somebody else's heart."

Janice hopped on the table as she sang. "You got me jumping like a crazy clown. And I don't feature what you're putting down."

"Well since I kissed her loving lips of wine," Phoebe pointed to someone in the crowd. "The thing that bothers me is that I like it fine."

Hey, hey, set me free." Then we pointed to the everyone in the cafeteria.

Stupid Cupid, stop picking on me!" Everyone shouted back.

Charlie finished the last few notes, and everyone applauded. All three of us bowed down, and Charlie bowed down, too. The cafeteria went back to normal, chattering about the lunch show. We sat back down to our table. We high five each other.

"Nice piano playing, Charles," Dylan smile.

"Thanks." Charlie handed  me back my laptop.

Karen asked me, "Why did you play that song on the radio?"

"Why else, for the listeners?"

"Nuh-uh-uh," Janice sang. "You always play a song to for a personal use."

"No I don't."

"What about the time when you played 'Forget You' by Cee Lo Green when I found out Matt cheated on me with some girl?" Phoebe asked.

"But-"

Dylan said. "And remember when you played 'What the Hell' by Avril Lavigne, when we had to do the mid-term finals?"

 "I meant-"

"And how about when she-"

"Oh stop it will you? I just did it out of the fun of it!"

"Sure you did," Karen rolled her eyes.

"What do you mean by that?"

Karen smirked, "Nothin'."

"Oh tell her already," Janice nudged Charlie.

"Okay," Charlie smiled to Karen. "I saw you walking with... a guy!"

Everyone in our table gasped.

"When?" I demanded.

"Yesterday." Charlie said adding, "On Valentine's Day."

"Oooooh," Everyone said.

"H-how did you see?"

"I stayed for band practice at after school and had to take the short way home." Charlie said. "When I saw the two of you, you had your arm around his."

Oh my God, someone kill me now.

Whathappenedwhathappenedwhathappened?" Karen begged me.

"Nothing happened."

"Dammit Juliette," Phoebe scolded. "Can't you just go out with one guy!"

"No!"

"Just tell us what happened."

"Fine I bumped into him and he asked to walk me home."

"Wow, he sound hot," Janice sighed.

"He looks hot from what I saw," Charlie smile.

I felt someone lean behind me, I felt hot air breathing on my neck. Then I heard someone whisper in my ear, "Actually, that's a fact."

I jumped and shrieked, "Dylan, Charlie!"

Dylan jumped into action and held the guy by his collar. "Why the hell did you do scare Juliette?"

Dylan looked pissed off, she's known for starting 65% of the fights in the school. But she didn't look as angry as Charlie.

"Tell us before I stick my violin up your ass!" She threatened with her violin case.

"Ladies, ladies, I come in peace, I don't want to leave in pieces."

I stared at the guy in bewilderment, "Erik?!"

"In the flesh," he choked from Dylan's grasp of his collar.

"Let him go," I told her.

Reluctantly she let go after she whispered a couple of threats to him. He gulped and fixed his collar. "Thanks."

"Wait a minute," Charlie said. "You're that guy."

"No he isn't" I bounced back.

"Yes I am."

"No you're not."

"Yes I am."

"No."

"Yes."

"No you aren't."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are," Then I realized he did reverse psychology on me. "Damn you!"

Karen sighed. "You look so cute together."

"Thank you."

"No we don't!"

Phoebe gasped. "You're that hot, I mean transfer student."

"Yes I am," Erik said. "And I would like to thank this DJ Jewelz to welcoming to this school."

Janice coughed. "Actually, you're looking a her."

Erik raised his eyebrow at me. "Than I should thank you for that song, too."

I blushed. "I'm sorry, that song was in my head. And I couldn't help but play it especially when yesterday was Valentine's D-"

He put his finger on my lips signing me to stop talking. "I'll forgive you just this once, Juliette."

Phoebe stood up, "We should go now."

"Don't. You. Dare." I threatened.

She slowly sat down and said quietly, "Ooh-kay." 

"Why are you here?" I asked him.

He shrugged. "To stalk you."

I flinched, "Dylan!"

Dylan was about to throw him a punch but Erik amazingly caught it.

Janice's jaw dropped. "You caught it. No one ever catches her punches."

The whole cafeteria was watching, I heard some murmuring.

"The whole football team is in her command because of her punches." Phoebe gulped.

Erik let go of her fist. "It was a joke, Juliette."

"Oh."

Dylan poked his chest. "You made yourself an enemy, Erik Roosevelt whatever."

"Note taken."

She went back to her seat. Then Matt Jones, the football captain, went to our table. At the sight of him Dylan cracked her knuckles, he was Phoebe's ex.

"Don't worry girls, I'm only here to talk to Erik." He grinned. 

He held out his hand. "The name's Matt, football captain for Angeles Heights."

Erik took it and replied. "Erik Rosetta."

"So I was wondering, how do you like to join the football team?"

My friends and I groaned.

"I don't know..."

"Hey Drew!" Matt called out.

Drew walked over to them. "What's up?"

He then looked at Erik. "Oh hey, it's you."

"Yeah, it's me."

"So you two know each other?" Matt asked. "Then you should really join the football team."

"Well, I might have to think about-"

Matt nudged him and whispered, "You'll get some popularity points for any lady friends, if you know what I mean."

Erik glanced back at me. "Sure, why not?"

Matt put his arm around Erik's shoulder. "Look here everyone, let's welcome the football team's new quarterback."

The football team cheered as Erik sat at their table which is next to ours.  

Then Tony, one of the quarterbacks, piped up, "But Matt, we already have 3 quarterbacks."

"Tony you're out," Matt said,

My jaw dropped, I know Matt is cruel but does he have to be that cruel?

"Dude, you're kicking me out of the team?"

"Hey, at least we all know you can think. Now run along."

Tony grunted and left the cafeteria. Erik looked back at me and mouthed, "What the hell just happened?"

I shrugged and went back to talking with my friends.

"I got it!" Phoebe said.

I poked my pizza. It gotten cold, that sucks. "Got what?"

"Imagine it. Drew likes you, then Erik. Both of them are in the football team, things are about to get messy," she grinned evilly.

"You can't be serious."

"Patience grasshopper," Phoebe muttered. "You must wait for the right moment to strike."

I bowed down to her. "Yes Sensei, wise words. But what do they mean?"

"I don't know, but just wait Juliette. This is one love story we have to watch."
