Rivals and Rumors : More than Enemies

~Chapter 1~

"Yeah, me too" he replied.

All my classmates picked up one chit turn by turn, some squeeling with excitement, and some disappointed, me and Adam picked up a chit and opened it together, but he had 9 and I had 16. 

I pouted, "Well we're in the same class so we can talk anytime." 

"Yeah. Anyways I will go and find my seatmate now"

"Yeah same". 

I started finding the person who got the same number, and someone shoved their opened paper chit with the same number as mine into my face. It was Ethan. I pouted annoyed.

"Looks like you are stuck with me Eves" he said.

 I snapped back, "Don't call me that." I went and sat at my designated seat, and Ethan sat next to me.

The teacher continued his teaching and I was taking down notes, Ethan suddenly took my left hand and inspected it. "What's with the ring Eves?"

I took my hand away from his grip, "None of your business".

"It is my business when it involves you Eves", he grabs my hand again.

"Miss Parker and Mister Davis you both can continue your lovely conversation outside the classroom", I immediately took my hand away from his, and looked at Adam to see if he noticed but he just pressed his lips and looked away when our eyes met.

I grab my hair in frustration, "You asshole, what if the class thinks there's something going on between us, huh?", I whisper yell at him.

"Not my problem", he said while shrugging.

"Oh god", I slopped my head on the table.

I heard Ethan scoff hearing my words and I rolled my eyes.

Ethan's pov

I don't know why but seeing the ring on Ava's ringer given by Adam made me feel something I had never felt before.

Angry?

Annoyed?

Jealous....?

I asked her what the ring was about and she said it was none of my business?

I was really annoyed at that but I stayed silent.

Time skip-

The classes got over and I grabbed my bag but then I noticed Ava sleeping on the desk with a cute pout on her lips.

I sat back down and put my head on the desk and just stared into her face and noticed every single details on her face.... 

The way her cute button nose moved slightly when she breathed.....

The way a few strands of her hair flowed down her face.....

The way her chubby cheeks added innocence to her face.....

The way her soft plump lips pouted in her sleep.....

They way - she lightly opened her eyes waking up from her sleep and I came back into my thoughts and jolted up my seat.

She looked around and rubbed her eyes.

"You could've woken me up right Ethan?", she sounded annoyed.

"As if you would have waken up.", I said sarcastically and she rolled her eyes.

Ava's pov:

I got up and grabbed my bag and headed towards the classroom exit but someone had spilled water near the exit so I slipped, just when I thought I was gonna fall on my butt and closed my eyes..... a hand held my waist and prevented me from falling.

I slowly opened my eyes and found a pair of dark brown eyes staring into mine, I was looking into his eyes when he chuckled and flicked my forehead gently.

I immediately gained composure and freed myself from his grip rubbing my forehead. 

"What was that for!?" I yelled at him.

"You were looking at me like I was snack", He chuckled.

"No I was not!" I protested.

"Yes you were" he smirked.

"Ughh!" I groaned and was about to walk to the door again, but Ethan grabbed my waist pulling me closer to him, my hands instinctively fell on his chest. Since I was wearing a short tank top, his fingers touched my bare skin sending shivers down my spine.
