Who's player number one?

~~Chapter 3~~

I sure as hell wasn't going to be one of them. 

'Layla Jenkins, haven't you got a class to get to?' A voice menacingly chirped behind me clearly amused.

Freddie Collins.

The school council head, and general stuck up prick that everyone dislikes.

'Oh shut up Freddie, maybe you should stop bossing others peoples lives and actually get one of your own' I scoffed then turned away and walked confidently to class.

Stupid Freddie four eyes.

There's a story I wish to avoid.

I took my seat in Mr. Blake's sociology class, making sure to smile to myself as the bell rang; knowing I made it on time.

Just as I got my stuff out ready to work I felt a small tap on my shoulder.

' Can you maybe move your large head please Buttercup?'

A small groan escaped my lips as I turned to face the smirking idiot behind me.

'Can you maybe move your large ego please ?' I replied, annoyance dripping from my lips.

'Calm down, it was only a joke' he winked again causing my anger to increase.

'Why do you have to be such a douche all the time?'

'You don't know me' and with that his smirk faded and he sat back.

Mr. Blake began his lesson and I sat staring pretending to be listening.

'You don't know me' those words spun round me head. I don't even understand why they wouldn't leave my puzzled mind.

What does that mean? Why do I care?

'Layla, would you care to join us?' Mr Blake's voice boomed across the class room

'Oh yes sir, sorry' I replied barely caring

'Like I was saying, you will all be in pairs for this project' my eyes immediately scanned the room looking for Mia.

But it was then my heart sank, Mia dropped sociology for physiology this year.

I hadn't even noticed none of my friends were in this class.

People everywhere started to pair up.

I was suddenly approached by multiple guys asking to be my partner. As complimentary as it was, I didn't want to be stuck with them.

'Come on Layla, you know we have this sexual chemistry that needs cleansing' Brian Toms, a overly confident snotty dweeb, who has a habit of making EVERYONE feel uncomfortable, said to me.

I physically cringed.

Just as I was about to politely tell them to all get lost, a low voice echoed over the top of mine stopping the words from leaving my throat.

'She's with me. Get out of here'

I stared in shock at Jaymes who stood there casually with predatorial look plastered on his face.

I observed in pure shock, though it didn't take me long to notice the arm he'd snaked round my waist.

Normally I'd feel confident and happy about this situation. But for some reason all I felt was panic and uncertainty.

Once the gaggle of guys walked off slightly scared, his arm was quickly removed.

' What was -' I turned and paused realising he'd gone.

What was that about? I asked myself instead.

I stood in awe for a second before shaking it out of my brain and walking away.

Though as I walked I couldn't help but think about what happened.

Then it hit me.

We are going to be partners. This isn't going to end well...
