🌙Nadya's POV

Honestly... I was starting to get tired with this seating. Every time there's a group assignment, the teacher would just use the seating to divide the groups. So I'm constantly stuck with the same persons and always being the only mixed group. Sure, like I said they were easy to work with, but it's just getting boring. Not to mention Felix and his friend Grant. So apparently him and his circle were the popular students. And.... I'm not sure if their definition of " popular " were the good ones, or the bad ones. Because, sure I have to admit some of them are pretty decent looking, and they're very active and loud. But they are also the trouble makers of the school. AND I MEAN TROUBLE. Like I always see one of them, or some of them, or even ALL of them go into the principals office. By now I'm even more surprised if there was a week where they didn't go to the principals office.

And like they say, looks can be deceiving. The people in this circle are literally walking red flags🚩. I mean I know they cause trouble, even back at middle-school. But I didn't know that they are red flags. Like I said, Felix was acting a bit of to me. I mean he was " nice " to me. And of course at first I believed it. But then. I almost fell into his trap.

As you may have known, I was an outsider back in middle-school, so I don't know the other students well, not do I keep up with the latest news or rumors spreading. I don't really know how Felix was actually. I simply thought he was kinda nice. At first we were only talking when it comes to assignments. Then he would constantly borrow my correction tape. Which I gladly allowed, because me being my kind self. And honestly it's not just him that's constantly using my correction tape. It was almost the whole class. Like I'm the guy to ask if you need some correction tape. And not gonna lie, my correction tape runs out very quick. But... I can't say no. Sometimes I'm sick of people saying " Hey, Nadya. Can I use or borrow your correction tape? " or " Anyone have a correction tape ? " Sometimes, I just wanna hide my correction tape or not bring it at all.

Anyways, then he started TEXTING ME. It wasn't anything weird or serious. He would just ask for some notes. But it's the way he chats that made me suspicious about him.

He would often add another letter to every word. And the way he texts, seems so nice and friendly. If only I knew his real face while typing the texts. At first I wasn't so suspicious, just a bit surprised. I mean I often get people asking me for notes. And I actually don't mind it, as long as they don't ask for test answers. I myself like to ask for notes anyway. But he didn't just ask notes in chat, but even in real life he would ask for my notes. Well not only him to be exact. Let's just say... I'm the diligent one in our seating group. So every time the teacher explains I would take notes. But my seatmates would be too lazy to take any notes, so they would just wait for my notes and copy them down. Even Gina... Well it wasn't always me. Sometimes when I'm lazy, it would be Gina taking the notes, and we will copy hers. Like I said, we have quite the solidarity.

By time I grew to be a bit more open and expressive. I wasn't that quiet anymore. And our group solidarity grew too. Like when there's a quiz, we would help each other. Even if it's not allowed. Like that time at geography. We had a pop quiz, and honestly the thing about pop quizzes is well POP, you have no preparation so it's just a matter of luck. The teacher did say we can't look at our notes or the ppt, buttt me being me still opened the ppt. Since the quiz was on our phones I could easily switch back from the quiz to the ppt in my phone. But it still wasn't enough. So when the teacher was gone we would huddle up and ask for answers. Not gonna lie, it was very fun. I help them, they help me. And in the end we got pretty high scores. Guess sitting with guys, especially like them, wasn't so bad.

I'm sooo bored. Today we have this seminar in zoom, but I wasn't really interested in listening to anything. Mrs. Lily just puts the zoom on the projector and have the camera to us. I really want to get out, but Mrs. Lily won't allow us. She said we should listen or at least be in the room and not make a havoc. I could tell everyone is just dying of boredom. Some are sleeping. Some are eating. Some are talking. And some are just doing whatever it takes to not be bored. Me, I'm just lying my head on top of my table and playing with stuffs. I wanted to sleep but I just can't, because sleeping in the seat was not comfortable. I could tell Felix and Grant was bored too. They just played with each other, and eventually got bored.

Our class didn't have the best ac. It's sooo hot. Even when I'm under the fan, it's still very hot. So I always carry a portable fan. I took out my fan because it's getting real hot. Looks like I'm not the only one whose hot. " Hey, Nadya, is that you fan ? " ask Felix. " Yeah " " Can I borrow it? " " Sure, here. " I give my fan to Felix. " Uhm... how do you use this? " Felix ask with an awkward laugh.  I laughed a bit. " Like this. " I opened it for him. " OH... and then press this button? " " Yes. " He pressed the button and the fan started spinning. " Cool, thanks. " " No prob. "  Well yeah, my fan was a bit complicated and I often get questions on how to use it. Not gonna lie, he looks a bit cute using my fan, and the way he listens to my explanations. " NO! What are you thinking Nadya! You can't easily fall anymore! " I scolded myself. My fan was foldable, so the blades doesn't have a protector. So if you touch the blade it will stop spinning and obviously your finger will hurt. Felix was curious and touched the blades, and it stopped spinning. " OH MY! Uhm... Nadya what happened? Did I broke it ? " He ask all flustered and a bit panicking. " No, it's fine. This always happens if you touch the blades. " " Ohh.... well here, thank for lending it. " He look very flustered. He quickly give it back to me, not wanting to accidentally break it. " Gosh, he looks so cute flustered. " I smiled internally. 

The seminar was still on going. And I'm still bored. So I decided to do some sketching. I like to sketch fashion designs, cuz' well I want to be a fashion designer. I was just doing some light designing, anything I have on my mind. And since Felix sit in front of me, he can see my sketches. " You can design? " He ask peaking at my book. " Yeah, just simple designs tho. " " Cool. Can I see it ? " " Sure "  I passed him my book. " Wow. You really can draw. You want to be a fashion designer? " " Thanks. Yeah. " I answered shyly. " Can you draw my uniform? " I was a bit flustered when he ask me that. " Uhm... I can't  draw boy clothes that well. But I'll give it a try. " Then I started sketching. I took a few glances at Felix's uniform and sketch them. Felix on the other hand, was watching me carefully. I was sketching the badges details, and it looks like Felix noticed. He showed me the badges, and sketch them.

I finally finished, and I wasn't really happy with my drawing, cuz' like I said, I'm not good at drawing men clothing. I hand it over to Felix with a very worried expression. " Uhm... here. It's not that good. I can't draw men clothing. " He looks at the drawing, and smiled. " Wow! You're really good. " The he showed it to Grant with a proud expression. " Grant look! It's cool right? " " Yeah, good. " Grant just said that, I know he wasn't really paying attention. Felix than gave my book back. I was honestly a bit flustered when he said that my drawing was good, and he showed it to Grant with such pride. I honestly felt happy. And butterflies.

" Do I like him? "
