The Night to my Stars

Chapter Three

❀Maeves POV❀

❀. Today is the first day of classes. It's my senior year here, today I only have two classes.

I make my way down the squeaky stairs and decide to skip breakfast today.

❀

I sit in my seat and sigh, Veda has been glaring at me all of class. I don't understand why because the last time I checked we were mutuals?

I roll my eyes in frustration and try to focus on my class work.

Next to me, River was asleep with her head resting on top of her arm. She looks so peaceful, her long black eyelashes laying delicately against her cheek, her pink lips were slightly puckered out, small stray black hairs lay across her forehead.

She's so pretty

I quickly tear my gaze away realizing I've been staring at her far too long.

My gaze locks with Vedas and she scoffs making my body heat in embarrassment. She had caught me staring.

❀

Class finally ends and I let out a yawn. I look over to River and see she's still asleep. We still have another class.

I should probably wake her up.

I sigh and gently rub her arm. "River, class is over."

She stirs a bit but does not wake up.

I shake her a bit harder, "Riverrr."

She finally wakes up and rubs her eyes. How does she manage to always look perfect?

She glares at me subtly. "What."

I stifle a laugh, "Class is over sleeping beauty we have to go."

She rolls her eyes with a groan and grabs her stuff. I laugh at her sleepiness and leave the classroom.

Maybe if she'd sleep instead of playing that damn guitar.

❀

After our next class Veda comes up to me and asks me to meet her in the back of the library which I obey.

I check the clock, she should be here by now?

Seconds later she comes in with a guy who's around 6'3 I'd say.

I furrow my eyebrows in confusing.

"What is this about? Can we hurry, I want tea."

Veda scoffs and gets close to me. "Listen you brat, River is mine I don't want to see you talk to her or look at her. Understood?"

I scoff at her. This is the most childish thing I've ever witnessed. Honestly I'm getting second hand embarrassment.

"You're pathetic." I laugh in her face.

She clenches her jaw and gestures to me making the guy walk closer.

I glare at him then at her. "If you don't mind, I have tea to make."

I move around them and begin to walk away only to be pulled back by the boy.

"Let go of me you little piss baby!"

He pushes me back against the wall and looks over to Veda for what to do next.

She comes up to me and slaps me in the face.

It barely even stung.

I begin to laugh at her causing her to flush red with anger.

"Hit her." She growled to her little piss baby.
