ATLAS AXEL

"I finished marking your projects," the physics teacher announces walking around and handing a pair of two a  paper with their assigned grade.

Alessa bounces her knee in anticipation when the teacher stops at our desks.

"It was simple,"she starts looking at Alessa and me. I feel a bit disappointed. 

"But your explanation was commendable ," she nods her head approvingly, placing the paper marked in red on my desk.

I smile looking at Alessa "Nailed it,"she asks unsurely, cringing.

98%.

I pass her the paper smiling to myself.

The bell rings dismissing us. "I have accountings,"she groans, shoving her books into a bag.

"I don't have anything right now,"I say as we  exit the  classroom."No,I have  practise with the music band!'' I say surprised, I had completely forgotten.

Alessa chuckles, "Tell me how it goes Atley."she says as we part ways,I nod although she won't  see it.

♪☃︎♪

I meet Alessa at the parking lot as we scheduled."Who's picking you up?"she asks and I shrug taking a packet of strawberry mint gum out of my bag.

"Antonio," I say, passing her two pieces of gum.I pop a piece of in my mouth and retrieve my phone from my bag to ask Antonio if he's almost here.

The phone rings twice before he picks up.

"Ant,"I say through the line and I here a little shuffling in the other side of the line.

"Hey Atlas,I'm just about to leave work,"He says.

"Antonio, you damn freak, shouldn't  you be almost here?"I ask the obvious  and here him laughing.

Freaky creak.

"I will be there in a while," he says after he's stopped  laughing.

I end the call without wanting to hear another word from him.

"Will he mind if I drop you off?" Alessa asks as a black Lamborghini park's I th lot.

"No,I'll just jnform him,:I say texting Ant. Styx steps out of the car.

Many students divert their attention to him.

"The main reason,I never wanted him to pick me up or drop me off,"Alessa murmurs under her breath.I chuckle softly at her words because I feel like that about Ant sometimes.

Styx doesn't make a sign of moving as he stands outside his car with his phone in his hand.

He is wearing a white Button up and black suit trousers. He's matching his outfit with black loafers.

I haven't seen him dressed this formal.He looks hot.

The same girl who bug's me about Atlas makes her way to him.

Alessa and I just stand their watching in amazement as she swirls he hair around her index finger.

Styx looks uncomfortable with the conversation  and it's clear it's awkward.

I try not feel jealous because of his interaction  with the girl. He dosen't  like me in that way.

I follow Alessa and she glares at the girl once we get to the car. "Can you stop?" Alessa asks rolling her eyes at the girl.

The urge to tell her to stop is strong and I look away trying to get a grip.

The girl walks away trying to pull her skirt higher. Alessa gets into the car without even glancing at stige.

"Nox,"I acknowledge smiling slightly, he makes me smile without even trying.

He nods in acknowledgement.going over to the driver's side. I enter with Alessa at the back.

The car smells nice. It smells like styx. "Drop me off at work," she says looking at rear view mirror.

"Aren't  you supposed to be working you ugly thing?"she asks styx who takes a deep breath in before replying. "Shut up, Alessa," He says and she rolls her eyes.

"He's so fucking  grumpy," she says smiling at me, I don't say anything because  I wouldn't  want to intrude.

Alessa shows me some of the details of what she will be doing today making my face beam as she shows me a collection of clothes she's  modeling with. 

"I'll see you on tomorrow," Alessa says  realising from the quick hug.

I move to the passengers  seat. "You alright?" I ask going into my bag two get two pieces of strawberry-mint gum.

"Yes," Styx says taking a quick glance at me before his eyes avert back to the road.His eyes are so beautiful.

Styx has been acting distant since our last hangout which was two days ago.

The drive to my house is quick but a little awkward.

When the cars comes to a stop I gather all the courage to ask what I want.

"Do you regret our hangout?" I ask making eye  contact with him. I immediately regret my inquiry when an awkward  silence settles between us.

I remove eye contact quickly and shift my gaze to the two pieces of gum on my hand.

"Please have this," I say glancing at him and putting the two pieces of gum on the cup holder.

I reach for the button on the door  but Styx's hand grabs my wrist so gently as if he's  afraid to hurt me.

"Why would you think that tereso?"He asks moving his hand to my chin to tilting my head so that I am now looking at him.

He's so beautiful.

His changed his toungue ring to a golden one and his eye brow piercing is the same.His face is so clear.

My heart quickend its pace at his voice and the way he's  looking at me.His green eyes are so beautiful. I move a little uncomfortable because of the butterflies  in my stomach.

"Mmh?"Styx asked snapping me out of my trance.I looked away not knowing what to say.

"Look at me."Styx says gently yet his voice holding power forcing me to meet his eyes."Teroso?"He calls once I look at him.

I don't even have an idea of what Tesoro is but it better be something good.

"Dinner tommorow?"He asks his eyes piercing into mine.I smile sweetly looking at him.

"Yes," I beam looking  away to try hide my excitement. 

"Goodnigt Nox,"
