They walked gracefully into the class with their heads facing downwards expecting the punishment they would receive.
“Jace told me that Jayson was not feeling well so how are you?” She asked.
They both looked up at her surprised and then looked at Jace. They winked at him and turned towards Mrs Cutterwood.
“Erm.. I am fine.” Jayson replied.
“Hmm, that’s good. You can have your seat.” The teacher said and turned towards the board.
Ellie watched how Jayson slowly marched towards her desk and took a seat beside her. She looked at him suspiciously and looked away only to see Shawna's threatening eyes staring deep at her.
She cringed under her gaze and gulped dryly then she relaxed back on the chair.

“What were you guys expecting? Huh?” Jeremy said and chuckled.
“I just stared at how sweaty Jake had become, he was already blowing hot.” Jace said and laughed.
Jake rolled his eyes him and took a bite from his sandwich.
“Hey guys, stop this, okay?” Jasper said out of frustration but deep down he was laughing at them.
“Oh, really?” Jayson asked and looked at him.
Jasper cleared his throat and looked at a direction.
A girl he has always been in love sat there alongside some girls. She looked so happy and contented. He will always do his best to keep her safe and happy. He smiled. He could not stop looking at her. It has always been her wish to be with people she could easily blend with and fate was so good to her. She was with them.
“Hey, what are you looking at?” Jake asked bringing him out of his thoughts. Jake looked at the place and saw two boys seated there.
“Hmm, it is nothing.” Jasper said.
‘Where is she?’ He thought as he looked around to search for her. He did not see her and he sighed.
“Anyone caught your sight yet?” Jace teased him.
He looked at him and shook his head. He looked down and ate his food that was placed before him. Unknown to him, Jayson was staring at him suspiciously.
‘What is he hiding?’ Jayson thought.

“Gosh, the beef I ate is stuck in between my teeth.” Ellie said as she tried to use the toothpick to pull it out.
Julia laughed at her.
“Hey, stop laughing. I am not joking.” Ellie said and frowned.
“Oh my gosh, my gums are bleeding.” Ellie said as she felt the metallic taste of blood.
“Hey, maybe we should go to the school hospital.” Julia suggested.
“No, it is unnecessary.” Ellie replied quickly.
“Can you guys keep quiet?” Elsa shouted at them. They were freaking talking so much and aloud.
They both looked at her with stunned faces.
“Hey, Elsa, what happened?” Julia asked.
“You talk too much and that too aloud.” Elsa said and looked at Ellie who only stared at her with a frown.
She has refused to speak to her even when they were having lunch.
Ellie smirked and dragged Julia away.
“Let’s go.” Ellie said as she ran.
“Hey, wait up.” Elsa shouted as she ran towards them.
“Catch us if you can.” Ellie shouted.
They were running so freely that they did not notice some group of people coming towards them.
“Ouch!” Ellie and Julia exclaimed as they felt like they were hanging in air. They felt around their waists, obviously it was preventing them from falling but then who are these people?
They opened their eyes to see the owner of the arms and saw…
Ellie saw Jake holding her by the waist and Julia saw Jasper holding her.
They both hurriedly pulled away from them.
They all stood there.
“Well, well, well, is this not the one of the twins that got Jake and Jayson twisted in their pants?” Jeremy asked and smirked.
Jake and Jayson turned to look at him and gave the I-will-kill-you kind of look.
He gulped and kept quiet.
Ellie and Julia stood there with reddened cheeks.
“Hey, you guys ran so fast.” Elsa said as she got to them.
“And here comes the other one.” Jace said and folded his arms.
Elsa looked at them and narrowed her eyes.
“The air seems sophisticated.” Jeremy said and fanned himself with his hands.
“Weren’t you going somewhere?” Jayson asked after a while of staring at one another.
“Oh, yeah.” Julia said and took a sneak peak at Jayson. She saw his angry face and gave him an apologetic look.
He used his eyes to signal to her to leave. She bowed and left followed by Ellie and Elsa.
She looked back to see someone else and smiled.
“Hey, why are you smiling?” Ellie asked looking at her but she did not reply.
“Hmm..” Julia looked at her.
“I said why are you smiling?” Ellie asked.
“Nothing.” Julia said and shrugged.
“Your cheeks is reddened like you are…” Ellie said and brought face closer.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Julia asked as she pulled away.
“Blushing.” Ellie said and smiled at her.
“Why?” She asked.
“Why what?” Julia asked.
“Oh, don’t try to act ignorant with me.” Ellie warned her.
“I said it is nothing.” Julia said.
“Wait, are you in love with..” Ellie asked.
“Who?” Julia asked feeling scared.
‘Why is she feeling scared?’ Ellie thought.
“Jayson?” Ellie asked.
“What the heck?” Julia said and frowned at her.
“Why will I be in love with my..” Julia was still talking but clamped her mouth shut when she realised what she was about to say.
“Hmm, I mean, I am not in love with Jayson.” She said as she cleared her throat.
‘Why am I so close to telling this girl?’ Julia thought.
Ellie stared at her intently and shook her head.
‘What is she hiding?’
‘I will definitely find out.’ Ellie thought.
“Hey, guys see you later.” Julia shouted as she ran towards her dormitory.
“Hey, you didn’t even..” Elsa said as she stretched her hands forward.
“Don’t mind her.” Ellie said.
“Let's go to our dormitory also.” Elsa said.
“Didn’t you notice that Jayson sat beside me today?” Ellie asked as she continued.
Elsa stopped abruptly and faced her.
“I don’t give a damn wheresoever he wants to sit and please don’t bring him up in our conversation.” Elsa said.
“It doesn’t seem like it.” Ellie said and left her.
Elsa stood there contemplating what she meant.
