“Will you stop ‘awwnning' like a cat?” The teacher's voice brought many out of their fantasy world. Some shook their heads at the drooling ladies while some clamped their mouth shut but there was one that was still hung open. It was actually two but then gently it closed.
Christian stood there smiling. He scanned through the heads and saw her. She was seated there with mouth agape. He smiled at her. When she saw that he already shared an eye contact with her, she closed her lips and looked away. Her heart had quickened up its rate at which it was beating.
Ellie slowly turned her head towards sister and looked at her. She smiled a little in… admiration. To her, yeah, it was admiration. He had come for her. Love. But No.
“You can go have your seat.” The teacher said and Christian walked majestically towards his seat. Girls turned their heads towards him and some did some winking which he did not even see because his eyes was fixed on her… Only her.
He finally sat down and brought out his note. Elsa swallowed dryly and with shaky hands brought out her notes. Soon the teaching began. Every one got immersed in the teaching. But some were far away from it. Thinking. Thoughts.
Jayson noticed how Christian had smiled towards Elsa but she did not return it. She looked kinda.. He couldn’t pin-point at the emotion exactly.
Christian on the other hand had his eyes glued to the back of Elsa's head. He would smiled once in a while then focus back.

Soon after changing of subjects, the bell for break rang and soon students trooped out of the class. As if on cue, Elsa packed her things and walked briskly out of the class.
“Hey, Elsa…” Her sister called out after her. She ran after her.
“Why did you leave like that?” She asked as she tried regulating her breath. Elsa didn’t give her a reply instead she walked faster.
But then he had already caught up with her.
“Elsa.” He called out and there, she stopped abruptly with eyes wide open. Well, the J-stars also stopped walking, literally everyone stopped whatever they were doing and looked at the direction of where the voice came from.
She squeezed her eyes closed and frowned. She continued walking.
He frowned and called out again, “Elsa.”
She stopped again and exhaled. She side glanced and finally turned towards him. He smiled and walked over to her.
“Long time no see.” He quoted.
She furrowed her eyebrows in question.
“You know I am new so I was thinking if you could take me to the café.” He said.
“I guess they gave you the school map.” She said smiling. He narrowed his eyes at her.
“That was rude.” Someone said behind them.
“Ellie here can take you there. I am not going to the café as it seems.” She said and turned towards Ellie who was busy staring at Jayson.
“Ellie.” She called in a slow dangerous tone.
“Huh… yes, sure. I can help him but wait, what?” Ellie stuttered, not getting what was going on.
“I said take Christian here to the café since he needs our help.” Elsa said.
“And why should that be me? Am I the one he is..”
“Ellie?” Elsa called. “I am having stomach cramps so please help him.”
Elsa placed her hands on her stomach and Ellie got it already. She sighed and muttered, “Okay, you can come along.”
Christian looked between the both of them and frowned his face.
“Christian?” Ellie called out when he was not starting to move. He looked up to her and smiled a little even though he did not mean it. He locked eyes with Elsa and took his gaze away then followed. The crowd went back into doing whatever they were doing.
The J-stars alongside Shawna and her crew stared at them. Questions roaming their minds. Elsa turned her heels and exited the hall.
“Do they know each other?” Jace asked.
No one could reply.
“I am hungry right now.” Jeremy muttered when he saw that no one was moving and he was dying of hunger.
“Glutton.” Jasper scoffed.
“Oh, please. You didn’t say that to me.” Jeremy said between gritted teeth. Jasper picked up his heels and ran off while Jeremy ran after him in hopes to catch him.
“Guess, we walk.” Jake said even though he had thoughts roaming his mind but as not many questions that was infiltrating Jayson's mind.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~
A chuckle was heard.
Elsa stopped walking and looked at the adjoining room. Shawna and Tessy stood there with their arms akimbo and their back leaning against the wall. They marched towards her smirking.
“First, the J-stars and now, I’m surprised you already had the new student wrapped round your filthy fingers.” Shawna said.
“Am I too forgiving?” Elsa asked in return.
“What do you mean by that?” Tessy asked.
“I mean the first time you tried intimidating me, it resulted in you almost getting suspended. Are you really tired of staying in school? Maybe a month or two will clear your head off the nonsense that is there.” Elsa said and hissed out. Shawna stared at her and smiled.
“I never asked you to lie on my behalf so don’t make it look like I owe you.” She said and came close to her.
“Maybe I should try reporting you.” Elsa said.
“Do you think you intimidate me?” Shawna asked and threw her head back laughing humorlessly. Tessy joined also. Elsa only narrowed her eyes at them.
“She thinks she intimidates me.” She said amidst the laughter.
“Well to burst your bubble…” She made a smacking sound with her lips.
“It is just ridiculous. It was your choice to lie. I never asked you to do it so I guess we are not in any way even.” Shawna said.
“I am the stupid one standing here and listening to your trash.” Elsa hissed out and curved the both of them. Shawna scoffed and turned around, she watched Elsa leave. She smirked.
“Find out the relationship between these two.” She said.
