-BLAKE-
Halloween is over, which mewns I know her for two months already. My weekends were too fucking slow. School is starting again... What else? I have an exam. Ah shit! The best way to waste your time...
-What's more surprising is the fact that I feel attached to her. It's an unexplainable feeling... This is the first time I've ever felt like holding into a girl... This isn't like 'me'... I wonder, what the old me would've done in this situation?...-
Right now, I'm trying to take a nap. My head is on the table, but I somehow can't fucking find my peace! Oh, wait! That's because I'm in school with some bunch of shits surrounding me!
My phone vibrates in the wrong ass timing. I forcefully grab it out, place it on my right thigh, cause it's bothersome lifting my head up. I glare into the screen.
Carter ass (Tyler):
-What the fuck?... Gawd...Is that his sister Riley? What is he doing there?... I can't anymore-! He's so creative. Hah... Hear the sarcasm?-
Me: 'What are you doing in your sister's school?'
Carter ass (Tyler): 'I'm here to support her. Ya know, that motivation spirit.'
-Aha? What kind of motivation? He's such an ass.-
Me: 'All I see is you fooling around behind her back.'
Carter ass (Tyler): '🙄🖕🏼'
-Why does he piss me off?-
Me: ' I'm not Ryder. Put that attitude back into your flat ass🖕'
Carter ass (Tyler): ' I woke up at 7am! Drove her to school, get harassed by girls and now I'm sitting here to support her! And you say I'm fooling around? Bitch please.'
-If only he were here beside me, I could strangle him to death for his lack of respect towards me. He may be my friend, but he shouldn't treat me this low. I despise it. -
Me: ' I could roast you till eternal, but that'll be a waste of my life time.'
Carter ass (Tyler): ' Chill man. Why so serious? I was just joking around.'
Me: 'You know, whom to mess with and with not. That isn't an excuse for doing it on purpose.'
Tyler doesn't respond for a while. I thought about stuffing my phone back, but stop as I read his message. I find it creepy myself, but a smile forms around my lips.
Carter ass (Tyler): 'Sorry mate. I shouldn't have been such an ass. I gotta go.'
-And that's how you do it. Juniors should treat their Seniors respectfully!-
I feel someone pulling the chair beside me. -That scent...-
Amanda flushes and slowly takes a seat. "Hi." -Aww...-
"Hey." I keep my half face still buried in my arm to prevent her from catching me smiling. Although, I think she caught me, otherwise she wouldn't smile back.
"You look really motivated today and that for an exam." She sarcastically says and scrambles through her bag. -Damn, when did she became such a sexy beast?-
I playfully roll my eyes at her. "Oh yeah? That's cause history is easy." She shakes her head, still smiling.
"How were your weekends?" She asks casually.
-It amazes me how normal we act even after I've confessed. I think it's too general and a clichè, if I say that mostly in such situations girls won't talk to boys. They'd feel uncomfortable and think we're weirdos.-
"It was alright. I had to do a lot of photo shooting. Thèo wouldn't stop bothering me with his damn 'plans'." I sigh and she giggles. -Did I already mention, how much I love her sweet voice and cheerful vibe?-
Her grey orbs stare deep to mine. "Sounds like him. I haven't seen him for a while."
-Speaking of that. Thèo actually told me to bring her over. He finds her attractive and she could easily pass as a model. That's great and all, but she's not a tool. She shouldn't be posing for horny perverts, who buy magazines because of the women in there... -
I hesitate for a while on whether I should tell her or not. "Thèo wants you to come over. He said you could be a model." I kinda regret telling her, but it's her decision, if she goes or not.
She flushes and unsurely laughs. "You're kidding. I can't-"
Before she can start roasting and doubting herself, I interrupt her. "You're amazing. I'm pretty sure you're insecure about yourself and that for no reason."
She squints her eyes at me and shakes her head. "You don't understand my situation." -What?-
"What do you mean?"
"Look at yourself and then look at me. You spread confidence, charm, attraction and you're popular. Everyone knows and respects you. While I'm just an introvert, have a lack of confidence, am weird and just... average." Her eyes flash sadness out. My heart feels like it's getting constricted by the sight of it.
"What am I and what are you? Aren't we both human? Amanda, I don't see you in any way like that. Sure, you're introverted and shy, but that's what I love about you." She widens her eyes at me, but I'm not done talking yet. "Everyone has a worth, even the biggest dicks I've known in my life. People who think others have no worth are cowards."
She then looks away from me. -Ah fuck! Why do I always have to talk like a bitch?! She must think I'm stupid! AND THE "LOVE" PART! GAWD! THAT WAS FUCKING IRRELEVANT!!! -
"You know, Blake."Her eyes suddenly land on me, making my heart skip beats. With her wonderful smile she continues talking. -Honestly, I could listen and watch her all day long if I could. That's how much I need her...- "You can be a jerk most of the time. Yet, I don't understand why you always try to cover your soft side."
I want to fucking kiss her. -Like, what is wrong with me?- I lift my right hand up, ready to stroke her puffy cheeks, gently pull her closer to me and press my lips against hers.
Suddenly, everyone is quiet and no one says anything. -Are they watching us? More importantly, are the boys looking? Am I showing them that she's mine?-
Mr. Braham marshes into class and drops his stuffs on his desk. -Argh... No, It was just my imagination... Shit, I'm day dreaming too much...-
"Alright class. I know you're all stressed, because of the exam. However, can you all please keep quiet! And-... Hey! Jonah, get down from the table, NOW!- " Mr. Braham's voice is annoying as fuck. I look over to Amanda, who's quietly revising for the exam. -Fucking cute.-

-AMANDA-
-Why is Blake causing me a lot of confusion? This is the first time I've had this kind of situation in my life. Meeting a complete stranger, who then becomes nice and changes... No, no, no! I need to focus on my test first!-
-Alright! I can do this! It's just questions about the 'Renaissance'...-
I sense his eyes on me. I turn and spot him still lying on the table, literally staring at me. -What a distraction! How can he be so calm? It's like, he's so sure about himself passing it.... WHY IS HE STARING AT ME LIKE THAT?!-
Our teacher hands out the papers and we all start scribbling on it.
- I'm nervous! My heart is pounding fast. Blake, in other hand, is writing with a flow. He looks kinda cute when he's focused...AHHH! THE EXAM! THE EXAM!-
I take a look at the first question and take a deep breath in.
°•°•°•°
-' When was the French Renaissance? '
It was a extended invasion of Italy in 1494.
-' What was Martin Luther's role in the renaissance? '
He was the leader of the Protestant Reformation.
°•°•°•°
-That wasn't so hard so far.-
Blake carefully slides his paper beside me. I raise my eyebrows at the grinning boy. "Go ahead." He mouths and goes back to his phone.
-He's finished within 5 minutes!? Wow, his writing is beautiful. Cursive and elegant, the paper is fully answered and if not he even added more to it ... That's not what I should be paying attention to!...He can't be serious!-
He notices that I didn't take his notes and raises his eyebrows. "No." I mouth and he rolls his eyes.
He looks so focused playing on his phone. It's really fascinating of how nearly 'perfect' he can be. I know that no one is perfect, but if I could add perfect people in a list, he would be on it. -Is he seriously playing ' Flappy bird '?...- He catches me staring and grins.
-What is wrong with him?-
Mr. Braham suddenly appears infront of us and I quickly pretend writing something on my paper. -Gosh! Why always at the wrong timing?!-
He passes by and stares at Blake. "Are you done?"
Without looking up from his phone, Blake answers. "Yes."
"Are you sure?" Mr. Braham asks and shifts his glasses back up in place.
I can see him side looking at me, waiting for me to copy. I try to ignore him, making him sigh and then he just nods. The teacher takes the paper and walks away. -He didn't even hesitate and didn't got scolded for playing his phone! A true definition of a savage.-
-Crap! I need to focus and finish mine.-
______________________________________
"Why didn't you just copy? It was right infront of you." Blake stares at me and calmly bites his sandwich. We decided to head straight to the cafeteria.
"I don't cheat." I say and sip on my orange juice.
He raises his eyebrows at me and smirks. "Oh yeah? Impressive I'd say. But why did you go out with Niall then?"
"Haha, how funny." I playfully roll my eyes at him. "That wasn't cheating. We weren't a couple and he's just a friend."
He swallows his food first, before he speaks. "How harsh."
I spot his little smile around his lips, making me smile as well. "How's he doing?"
-I still feel guilty for what happened and I haven't paid him a visit yet. I know it sounds rude and all, but I don't know how to stand infront of my bruised friend...-
"Ehm. He's fine. You don't need to visit him, if that's the case." He slurps on his juice and stares around the cafeteria. -How did he know, that I wanted to visit him!? Is he still mad at Niall I wonder?-
"Are you perhaps ...still mad?" I unsurely ask, making him turn back to look at me. His green eyes never fail to mesmerise me.
"No." -He's lying.-
"Oh come on! Stop making me curious!" I blurt out.
He grins widely. "Nah uh~ I am doing nothing."
I squint my eyes at him. "Yes, you are! There's something you're hiding!"
He smirks and leans back. "We all have sorts of things we want to keep for ourselves, don't we? Life is full of mysteries. We are curious and eager to know everything. Like our existence, our purpose and many relatable things." -Is he serious right now?-
"Don't come at me with those psychological talking!" I laugh.
I have to admit, that I love it when he laughs. He seems happy and looks like a completely different person. I wonder, why he keeps hiding his true self...
Blake laughs, but soon stops after glaring behind me. -What is wrong now?-
"How was the exam?" I turn around and spot Charles, smiling at me. -Oh, I forgot that they both didn't have a good start...-
"It was alright. I mean the questions weren't as tough as I expected them to be." I smile and he grins.
"How fortunate. That means you surely passed." His smile really distracts me. He looks much more attractive, when he smiles.
"I hope so." I giggle.
A loud cough interrupts our conversation and we look at the man,who's glaring at us. His eyes are glowing and his body language shows, power. His arms are crossed together, he's leaning on the chair and has that intimidating aura around him.
Somehow, Charles acts differently now. He carefully places his tablet next to me without releasing his gaze off Blake.
"You don't mind if I join you, right?" He asks. -Why is it always like this?! Can't they be less intimidating!?-
I expect Blake to curse or send him away, but to my surprise, he doesn't. In fact, he's smirking and offers his left seat. "No, you can take a seat beside me. "
Charles sends him a tight smile and pulls the chair next to me. "Thanks, but I think I'd better sit next to Amanda."
Blake's jaw muscles are twitching and his eyes seem to have darkened. Yet, in a split of a second he smirks again. "Why not sit next to me? There's no problem with a guy sitting next to another guy, is there?"
-Why does it sound so odd?-
"No, you're right." Charles moves next to him and they glare at each other again. -Oh gosh...-
I carefully watch them sending silent stares, I haven't seen before. -Is this a guy's thing?-
"Since you've all gathered around, I might aswell join you to complete the meeting. " Someone speaks behind me and they both turn to look. -That voice!-
Raven smiles and takes a sit beside me. -When did he come here!? What is happening here?!-
Blake isn't smiling anymore. He eyes both of the males and then mumbles something underneath his breath.
Charles doesn't seem calm anymore either, he seems and acts much more aware. -Like a police man, trying to see through a person. It's honestly giving me the creeps...-
Not forgotten to mention, the guy beside me isn't any better. His smile disappeared, but his calm self is still there.
I can feel the intimidating and uncomfortable vibe around us. I'm sure, I'm not the only one. -What is happening here?!-
