Justin was sitting in his math class which he shared with Elle and Tip , but the latter hadn't arrived yet . Today they were sitting in the middle row far away from the window . Apparently Tip had a bad tendency of arriving late in the morning to avoid going to class . Elle explained to him that Tip's brain hardly functioned in the mornings .

Tip was by far the smartest person at Westville and didn't need any help from anyone . He passed really well , even though he skipped mornings . Elle also explain to him the rules about coming late and he listened very attentively . If a person came to class 10 or more minutes , they had to wait outside until the lesson was over . If they came earlier than the 10 minute , they'd receive a detention slip .

He couldn't help but scoff at that . If he was still at his old school , he would not have to worry about anything . He found himself smiling as he nodded his head at Elle's distinct explanation . She back to telling him things worked around the school .

" Yeah so if you come late , you'll just wait outside for the lesson to be over . I'm pretty sure Tip is standing outside the door as we speak . I can feel him ." she said meanwhile , Justin looked at the direction of the closed door .

I wish I could feel him too he thought shamelessly .

" He's probably not alone though , I'm pretty sure Andrew is with him . That douchebag comes late on purpose , he's like obsessed with Tip . I don't why , he's not gay though . But he can't seem to say away from my friend . I really wanna just grab his penis and shove it in his mouth . It's sick that he wants to control everything around here ."

" Who's Andrew?" he asked , feeling a weird sensation in his stomach . The name sent shivers down his spine , and not the good kind . Elle's face was passively searching if anyone was listening on their conversation but luckily , everyone was either busy or napping . She turned back to him seriously , flipping her curls over her exposed shoulder . Her skin shining brightly against the sun , making her chocolaty skin glisten . The sight was breathtaking . He redirected his attention to her warm eyes as she spoke .

" He's the school's Jock , caption of the soccer team and a total hottie but he's only hot for show . He gives of some dark vibes you know , when he looks at you it feels like your soul is being penetrated . I hate it when he does that . I'm not friendly with him or anything but I once tried to befriend him because I have a crush on his friend , Beau .  He doesn't scare me though , I could definitely take him ."  She said with confidence . He smirked at her as she kissed her biceps with pride .

" He sounds like a prick and I haven't met him yet . So you have a crush on his friend huh , how is that working out for you ? "

" It really sucks balls that I have to go through him if I want to speak to Beau , I hate it . Beau won't even talk to me , I doubt that he likes me back . I can't get through to him ... Let's just focus on math yeah ? I don't want to talk about my pathetic love life or lack of . " she answered . She didn't want to admit it but it hurt , liking someone the way she did . She couldn't expose that she might even be in love with the guy who clearly didn't give a living crap about her .

Justin nodded his head and they finished their work quietly . He kept stealing glances at her . Elle was just putting on a facade but he was a good judge of character and could clearly see the hurt on her face . She was pretending to be doing her math work . He could see how she was struggling but insisted that she'll do it on her own . He didn't argue and would occasionally help her with a few sums . If he didn't notice it before , he did now .
