Scar's Pov

I woke up and yawned, then smiled as I realized Jellie was sleeping on my stomach. I reached out for my phone and checked the time, seeing it was 3AM I was about to go back to sleep, 'til I noticed while looking outside the window, that the light in Grian's room was on.

I gently picked up Jellie up and placed her on my lap as I sat up. I saw Grian sitting next to his desk, his notebook lying beside the book he was reading. His math book. He was studying, at literally 3AM. I sighed and looked down at my phone.

Beloved <3

Go to sleep

Scar? Why are you awake?

Go
To
Sleep

But tommorow's the finals!!

And you need to sleep, or you'll be exhausted. It's like nine tests, one after another, you need a lot of energy for that

Always hated how all the finals are at one day. Now I hate it more

Go to sleep, Gri

mmmm fine

--------------------

I turned off my phone, and looked again outside the window, watching the tired avian stretching, already in his PJ's, then walking towards his light switch, turning it off. I smiled, lying back down while putting my phone down.

Grian's Pov

I groaned, leaning my head on the table, getting a laugh from Scar. "I told you you'll exhausted." He said. We just finished the second period, and both the math test and history. I heard my phone buzz, and glanced left, still not raising my head of my arms.

Well, I thought it was my phone, 'til I saw it was Scar's. I didn't mean to look, but I thought it was my phone until I saw the wallpaper.

He got a massgae from his dad, saying he will come late today, then my eyes fell to the massage below, from me. It was from this morning, that I said a 'good morning' back when he woke me this morning

My eyes fell on the name he called me. I felt myself blushing as I read it. He calls me 'Beloved'. I know that he called me 'Grain' before, he changed it.

"Grian?"

"Grian."

"Grian!" My boss called, causing me to flinch. "Y-yes?" I questioned, turning to her. "Work is a place to work. Not to study." Samantha frowned looking at my books. "Right," I shut the book close, pushing it into my bagpack, then noticing a woman beside her.

She was taller than me, a few pieces of her pink hair tied as two bans on the side of her head. Her light blue eyes were exactly the same colour as mine. I saw her around school sometime, I think she's in my year.

"This is Lizzie. She'll be working with us." Samantha said, then handed both of us name tags with our names. The two of us put them on our shirts, I quickly glanced at her tag.

"Dwyer'? Lizzie Dwyer? Are you Joel's girlfriend?" I asked, recognizing her last name almost immediately. "I am," She glanced down at my name. "Oh! Grian! Joel's old pal. I've heard about you." She smiled, holding out her hand for a hand shake.

I shook it, giving her back a smile. Joel was rambling even when we were in middle school, I never got to meet the lady though, heard they started dating a year and a half ago. I didn't even congratulated Joel...
