HVKC CLASS.
Hazel walked into the class just when the exam was about to start.
She was taken to the school clinic and just woke up minutes ago. Otto five finger showed on her face so she used her hair for coverage.
“Can you sit quickly, the exam is about to start”Giselle said and she scoffed before sitting.
The computer on their table turned on automatically. “An hour to be done”the teacher in front of them said and they began work.
Dante was behind Giselle since they sit on single seats. “Hey!”Archie hit Jasper seat with his leg.
“Need help?”
“I didn’t even study”he said.
“Same boat”Jasper said.
“$h|t!”

Exactly one hour, they all stopped.
“You can all send it to me now”the teacher said and they did while she left after that.
“How was it?”Dante moved his chair to Giselle’s front.
“Stop the act, we aren’t outside”she said.
“I’m not acting, this is what boyfriend’s do”he smiled.
“Oh God! I thought I just have to act in front of the students”she said.
“No, lets stop talking about it. Let’s go eat”he stood up.
“No please”she groaned as he dragged her up.
“Love your cuteness berry”he winked as they stepped out of the class and she made disgusting faces.
“More cute with the face”he said and she stopped it which made him laugh.
“Let’s go out tonight”he said.
“A date?”she asked.
“Yeah, I wanna know more about you”he smiled.
“Don’t tell me it’s what I’m thinking?”she said.
“What?”he smiled.
“You’ve started having feelings for me?”she raised her brow but he didn’t deny nor laugh, instead he’s smiling.
“Geez!”she started walking ahead.
“Wait up berry!”he chased.
“It’s not gonna end nice, I don’t like you and I won’t”she said as they sat down in the cafeteria.
“You don’t know, it happens in some romance book”he said.
“Romance? You read them? I thought it action or adventure stories you read”she said.
“You don’t know me then”he smiled. Their food was brought to them.
“The scholarship students, can they sit here to eat instead of getting their foods and leave?”she said and he smiled.
“You’ll go on a date with me?”he smiled.
“God! No”she said and he laughed.
“Then no too”he said.
“A dinner date or what?”she asked.
“Dinner date”he said.
“Fine”she said and he smiled.

“Seeing her smile with him makes me want to do something bad to her”Maggie said as she stared at Giselle and Dante.
“The way Dante looks at her is just too amazing”Daisy said.
“Yeah, I don’t like her but I love their relationship”Tess said.
“Can you just stop! Stop talking about her!”Maggie said.
“What’s going on?”Hazel joined them.
“Hey, you need to teach that Otto guy a lesson! How dare he do this to you!”Daisy said.
“That ?îtçh has it that we can’t bully them all cause she’s dating Dante”Hazel said.
“Now I wanna date Dante”Tess said and laughed on her own.
“Did you send her the money?”Daisy asked.
“Yeah, she got the bike with it”Hazel said and they gasped.
“I’m ki||ing her, swears, how dare she get money from me and buy what I don’t have!”Maggie said.
“Seriously guys, we can’t do anything since there’s Dante”Tess said.
“Attention everyone!”Dante stood up and everyone’s attention was on him.
“What’s he doing?”Maggie muttered.
“All scholarship students can sit in the cafeteria to eat!”he said and gasping and murmuring started.
“All thanks to my berry!”he said, smiling at Giselle who returned it and the unexpected scream filled the cafeteria.
“Bullshit!”Maggie and Hazel walked out of the cafeteria.

Wyatt was coming out of the male restroom when he saw Maureen.
“Hi”she smiled.
“What are you doing here?”he asked.
“I wanted to give you this”she stretched a small box to him and he took it slowly.
“What’s it?”he was about opening it when she stopped him.
“Somewhere else, open it somewhere else”she said.
“Babe!”Daisy called.
“Let’s hide”Maureen said.
“What?”
“I don’t want her to see us together”she said and dragged him to the closet door. Shutting it.
Daisy came but didn’t see anyone.
“Maybe he left for class already”she said and walked away.
Back in the restroom, Maureen looked at Wyatt who was looking at her so she looked away.
“Don’t do this again, it’s stupid”he said and walked away.
Maureen stupidly smile. ‘ I was close to him at least, his perfume, oh my!! ‘ she screamed inwardly before rushing out.

Giselle walked out of the restroom but found Jasper resting on the wall outside.
“It’d be silly if you think you can get back on me in here”she said.
“Get back on you? You’re too curious about me right? Let’s talk over dinner”he said.
“Dinner? Curious about you?. Come on Jasper, no bullying on the scholarship students so there’s nothing on it again, and again, the question I asked was only on the truth or dare”she chuckled.
“Still doesn’t count on the fact you’re curious about me”he said.
“And I’m telling you I stopped being curious”she said.
“But I wanna tell you”he said.
“I don’t wanna listen”she said and began walking away.
“You can call me if you have a change of mind”he said but she walked away.

Otto was the only one in class, revising for the next exam which is after lunch.
“You think you can go scoot free?”Hazel walked in and he raised his head from the book.
“I thought you’ll have to stay there for some days”he said.
“The audacity!”she shouted.
“This is the general class and I can send you out”he smirked.
“Let’s stop this, you like me?”she smirked.
“You? I would date a monkey instead of you, or name the most ugliest animal, I’d date it instead of you”he said and she gasped.
“Stop wasting your time and do something about yourself and mostly, your brain”he said. “And also, leave once you’re done”he said and focus on his book. Hazel stood there speechless and left when she got back to her senses.
Otto let out the laugh he has been holding as she walked out. “I ki||ed it!”

ROOFTOP.
Axel was laying on the floor as usual but this time, Giselle was what he kept thinking about.
“Deep thinking don’t solve problems”Giselle said and he sat up.
“When did you get here?”he asked as she sat beside him.
“Now, what were you thinking about?”she asked..
“You….I mean about what you told me”he said and she laughed, laying on the ground.
The breeze blew through and the moment felt like those romantic movies where two lovers are in.
He looked at her but looked away.
“The only place you can clear your mind is when you look at the sky at night. It looks like a world of it own, a peaceful place where only stars, moon, sun, rain come from”she said and he slowly lay beside her. Just one inch from each other.
“So you love the sky the most?”he asked.
“Yes, it’s always beautiful at noon and night”she said.
“The cloud giving beautiful and amazing shapes on it”she said.
“I’ll try it”he said.
“Do you know what I’m afraid of?”she asked, turning to look at him and he did the same.
“Water”she said.
“Really?”
“Yes, no matter how hard I try to overcome it, I can’t”she said and looked away.
“I can help”he said.
“Maybe when you have my three abilities”she sat up.
“Off course I’ll have them, it’s just about time”he also sat up and she smiled.
“I’ve got a boyfriend to take care of”she stood up and his expression changed which made her laugh.
“Be fast with getting those things so I can end it”she winked and walked away.
“The other two isn’t a problem but being rich is”he muffled and lay on the ground back.
