Maybe, I can get away with not sitting next to him but why do I feel so guilty? I have been sitting with him in all our lessons nowadays but it's not like Hunter will mind, right? He hasn't got a care in the world, does he? He would probably be relieved as he wouldn't be annoyed so much by me.

Nathan took my hand in his and took me to the table behind Hunters'. Brilliant choice Nathan. Now let's just hope Hunter doesn't turn around.

For some reason I felt uncomfortable with Nathans' hand in mine.

Why? I mean I've held his hand before but then why is it that I'm trying to discreetly hide it so Hunter doesn't see?

Hope, something that never sides with me because of course Hunter woke up and turned around. We locked. His gaze slid next to me towards Nathan and what happened next surprised me.

"Nathan"

Nathan looked up and seemed surprised.

"Hunter, dude. When did you get back?" Nathan gave a small smirk.

I sat there questioning what on earth was happening right now.

"When you left." Hunter threw back

Nathan scoffed, "Great timing."

This time Hunter glanced back at me and nodded whilst saying "Anastasia"

Okay, so I sort of kind of loved... the way he says my name.

I smiled, "hi."

Hunter gave this look of triumph and turned around, leaving me with a confused Nathan.

Nathan gave me a look of pure confusion and mouthed the words 'how do you know him?'

"Long story short, we're kind of friends."

He looked even more confused now and said, "Hunter doesn't do 'friends'."

I shrugged and hoped he would let it go.

Let it go, let it go. Can't hold it back anymore.

Urgh, that annoying song is everywhere!

I spent the lesson explaining to Nathan what we have been learning and giving him some of my notes, which I didn't really need.

Hunter glanced at me those odd few times when he caught me staring at him.

The lesson went surprisingly fast and by lunch Nathan and I had pretty much gotten used to each other all over again.

I got my food, which wasn't a lot because for some deranged reason I wasn't that hungry. I know it's crazy right? It's obviously due to the fact that I'm too happy that Nathan is back!

Nathan had to take some tests in a classroom so that he could be graded upon where he is at the moment so he was going to join me for lunch later on.

I made my way over to the same table Hunter and I usually sit on.

I noticed Hunter wasn't here yet so I just started eating slowly until he showed up. Which wasn't for long because he came two minutes later and sat down in front of me like always.

"Hey." I said in hopes of starting a conversation.

Hunter nodded and started eating his food. We sat in silence as per usual until I, as per usual, said something.

"How do you know Nathan?" I spoke.

He stopped eating and looked up at me.

"I don't." He muttered
