I’m hungry,” I muttered at Erik as he twitched his jaw. I might have been more than he bargained for. “Look, Gianna, If you do not cooperate, then I’m going to have to go to Master Kandise. You know as well as I, she would have no problem kicking out a student.” Erik said, rather smarmily I must add. Now I might hate the school but I could just imagine the sad look on my poor widowed fathers face as he found out that his only child, be her a girl, was kicked out of the ITW. I mean sure he’d be beyond angry but then he’d probably look at me with these sad puppy eyes and I’d feel like tearing a limb off of myself just to get rid of the pain in my heart. I sighed.
“Fine I’ll do the stupid project…” I felt angered giving in but I had a lot at stake (in case you didn’t follow along the rant I had in my head) Erik smiled, knowing full well he had won, in his douchey way. Sure he had a nice smile and his eyes shone when he did, making those clear violet eyes stand out-- No, no. His violet eyes are as difficult as him. Seriously WTF is violet? Because to me they just look plain blue. Why can’t Erik ever just go with the freaking flow?
“Are you listening?” Erik questioned me, scaring me out of my mental thoughts. “FRAK!!” I cried as he dryly continued speaking. “Do you know anything about the Greek Gods?” I stared blankly at him as I burst out laughing. “I’ll take that as a no…” He muttered. We took a class on Greek mythology and a big part of the studies was learning especially about the warrior gods. I however had a great time sitting in the back of the class, giving myself French manicures with my white-out and drawing over the (uncensored) naked Greek statues’ private parts. Fun times in that class…
“Well tell me three things the Ancient Greeks contributed to the world.” He said breezily, as if this was an easy question. “Oh I know this! Ok…” I trailed off as I thought.
“Ouzo, The Olympics and… Greek Sex?” I asked as Erik rubbed his temples.
“Are you ok?” I asked Erik. I was starting to think I might have taken it a bit too far. However, what I said WAS true. He’s lucky I even remembered THAT. You see I’m part Greek and that side of the family made sure they preached to me about the greatness of Greeks. If you even made the slightest joke about how Alexander the great was most likely sorta-kinda homosexual they would give you the stink eye.
“Alright, Let’s carry on. We have to write about three gods. Zeus, Hercules and Poseidon.” I rolled my eyes as he said the names with respect. He got out some paper as he began telling me about the gods we were going to write on.

Two hours later and we had finished up the project. Well, mostly he did it but he was too busy preaching to me to notice I wasn’t doing much. To be honest what I was really thinking about was how on earth he managed to be so hot. I guess I was always kind of paying attention to his stupid way of being stupid, and his douchey way of being a douche bag I never really noticed how his dark jet black hair fell over his eyes and hi fully-muscled body pressed against his dark grey t-shirt.
“All right, we’re done.” Erik smiled as he shook hands with me. “I’ll hand this over to Master Kandise.”
“I guess this is going to be the last time we talk.” I stated as I shook his hand.
“I guess.” He shrugged as he packed away his pens into his backpack. I smiled as I waved goodbye and made my way up to my dorm. I swiftly took a piss, ate something and took a nice long nap.
Who knows, Maybe I’d see him around sometime…
