CHAPTER THREE

'goooood mornin! i want to see u wearin that outfit in school celi. im watching u. (O).(O)'

Way to start my morning. I put down my phone and got off the bed. The outfit that Evelyn put together is just inside that shopping bag. I opened the curtains and let the gentle sunshine in. Now, time to get moving.

•••

I lost my sense of direction. I'm fucked. I should've arrived early but I was enjoying the music while I was in the shower. You can't blame me for that. Where's Wilkinson's Building?! I only have 10 minutes left before the class starts. Walking aimlessly in the hallway with almost no one to ask, a girl in a denim jacket appeared coming out from the girls restroom.  

"Excuse me, but do you know where Wilkinson's Building is?" I desperately asked. She looked at me weirdly. Is she a new student too? Well I'm fucken fucked. We're both lost.

"You're in Wilkinson's Building. " I am? Oh...

"Can you tell me where's Room 306?" I feel so stupid right now but I need to know or else I'll be late. 

"It's two floors up from here. I'm also heading there." She said and started walking without waiting for me. I hurriedly keep up with her pace. 

"Sorry, I'm just new here. I'm Celin by the way."

"It's alright, I'm Sophie." 

I managed to calm down my nerves—thankfully. This school is HUGE! I already know it is but being physically in here makes a lot of difference. A group of guys are goofing around loudly in the hallway just behind us. Then suddenly Sophie pulled me aside, if she didn't do that I should've bumped with the two tall guys.

"Find somewhere else to mess around please."

"Sup, Sophie. You look pretty today." I wanna vomit. Sophie ignored the guy wearing a blue jacket. I was about to give that guy a piece of advice when a familiar face stepped in. 

"Teacher's coming!" Connor alarmed us out of nowhere. The two guys are sprinting to get to the door which I find ridiculous. 

"No thanks from my dear friend?"

"Shut up. Pig." Sophie kept her straight face and continued walking. 

"Oh, who's this?" He looked at me as if he we didn't met before. It pissed me off for some reason.

"Your neighbor." I answered sarcastically.

"Spider-Man?" He asked, squinting is eyes pretending to be clueless.

Before I can even make a response, Sophie came back and dragged me with her.

"Don't mind that idot." She hushed.

"Hey, wait up! Get it? Friendly neighbor... Spider-Man?"

"Alright class, we're done with our introductions lets get down to business. I want you to group yourselves into three for our group experiments that will be conducted once a week. Give me your group list when you're done finding your members, then you can go." I turned to my left to pair up with Sophie but—

"I apologize to everything I've said before. I can pay you money just let me pair up with you." The heck is going on?

"Oh really?" Connor said smugly, as if he won big time. 

 "I'm serious." replied Sophie. Connor then leaned in and whispered something. A shock of horror took over her but then recollects herself.  

"Fine."

"Deal's a deal." The two then turned their heads to me. I don't really know if I should join them or find another group but I shouldn't be picky.

"Uhm.. May I join in?" 

"Sure." Without hesitation, Connor agreed. I thought he was over until...

"But with one condition." What's wrong with this guy? He sure looks cute. Unfortunately, what's up with the conditions?

"What is it?" I plainly asked.

"Let's go home together after class."
