"Guilty?" Semiloore asked and hissed lightly.

"Yeah, you stood up for him while he watched" John replied with a wry smile.

"Ohh, he's a jerk if you ask me" Semiloore said.

"He's not" John replied her shaking his head while Semiloore sneered in reply.

"You can't just judge him without knowing him" John stated.

"I know a little, i know he's really cute and super sexy, he's hot too and let's say his arrogance is attractive" Semiloore said folding her hands.

John blinked at her "Whoa!" John said as he laughed lightly.

"What? I can't compliment someone again?" Semiloore asked and John smiled widely.

"No, you can always can" John replied.

Joshua walked back with Nathaniel and they sat on the grass crossing their legs.

"I'll better get going" Semiloore says feeling uncomfortable in between the trio.

"Where to?" Joshua asked as Semiloore tried to stand up.

"Class of course" Semiloore replied.

"Awey, sit down" Joshua replied as he tugged on her leg. Semiloore yelped as she lost her footing and came crashing on the grass but instead on the grass she landed neatly in Nathaniel's laps making her freeze.

She turned to face Nathaniel who was staring back at her with an expressionless face. His face was void of any pimples and they glowered in the sun, his pink lips were pulled in a thin line and his usual brown eyes were staring down at her.

Nathaniel didn't move as Semiloore fell into his laps. She was nothing but trouble, his head had told her from her first day and the days that followed had proved it but he liked this trouble, she had a funny way of showing her affection to her friends.

She called Peter lousy and Maria shorty;the two never complained and even answered if she yelled from afar. Except from her foul mouth, she was actually an amazing girl and a funny one, at least she had managed to make him laugh several times.

He stared down at her own black eyes who was taking in his every feature. She didn't even notice she was clutching to his shirt. He caught himself first.

"If you continue grabbing my shirt like that, it'll get crumpled" Nathaniel said bringing Semiloore back into the present. Semiloore jumped out of his laps red.

"Sorry" she muttered before disappearing.

Nathaniel turned to the boys and rolled his eyes
"Don't even think of it"  he said and Joshua and John burst into laughter sending a smile up his face.

"You are red" Tamiloore said and the others glanced at her. Semiloore had been eerily quiet since she came back for lunch.

"Huh?" Semiloore asked.

"What's wrong?" Tamiloore asked.

"Nothing" Semiloore replied immediately.

Theo just laughed; her flushed state could tell him roughly what happened.

"Did someone you like compliment you?" He asked sipping on his orange juice and Semiloore went tomato red.

"No!" Semiloore replied as everyone turned to her.

Theo burst into laughter "You need to see your face right now!" Theory said.

Others shook their heads as Semiloore kept mumbling something incoherently.
