Chapter 22: Drama Club

Alice

I bet giraffes don't even know what farts smell like, how would they-

"Alice?"
"I'm up!" I sat up from my seat realizing, I'd left Greyson hanging, "It's twenty-nine"
"Twenty-nine what?" "Skittles you gumball" I roll my eyes and check his answers, who knew an eighteen-year-old boy barely knows how to do math, "Correct now you have to multiply it by eight"

"And how do I do that?" he rolls his eyes, I release a sigh while working a graph for him, "Twenty-nine goes on top of eight, then you multiply nine by eight, what's the answer?

He stared into my eyes as if I was his answer, Oh come on you idiot it can't be this hard!

"twenty-one?" I let out a groan and lay my head down on my arms, "Greyson we've been doing the same simple questions for the past thirty minutes!" I hissed, he rolls his eyes and gives me a smirk, finally, he takes his notebook and starts working on each question.

My eyes widen in shock as I realize he isn't even taking a little break?! "What..." I swallowed watching his pencil move around like Albert Einstein.

"There" he hands me his notebook, and I check every question we had to go over, one by one, I swear I had to look at it twice, "you knew this whole time!" I shout, ignoring people studying in the back.

He lets out a giggle and takes back his notebook, "Of course, I'm not that stupid, I just like pissing you off" I groan again, my nails digging into my palm.

It's only been the second day and I already hate this! if he keeps this up I swear I'll be smiling in my mug shot.

"Bye Dollface see ya tomorrow"
"Wait what? We still have to go over, Chemistry and our project-"

"Leave that for tomorrow, I have shit to do"
"Hey, Graham! get back here!" I shout running after him, I grasp his wrist pulling him toward me, but suddenly his back tumbles into me, I tumble back nearly tripping over my feet, but before I could land on my ass, Greyson grasps my arm pulling me back into his chest.

"Jeez you're so goddamn clumsy" he rolled his eyes releasing me, I groan and run a hair through my scalp, "You are going to help me with the project"
"Hm nah" he shrugs giving me a smirk, "God you are so fucking...useless!" I shout gesturing my finger in his face, "Is that all?" he arches a brow while folding his arms across his chest.

I roll my eyes and start storming away when I realize people had been recording us argue, I froze in place and glance in their direction, "I guess the rumors aren't true after all..." one of them gulped as I gave him a complete death stare, "No! it's not, in fact, I am very single and wouldn't date an ass like him!"

Suddenly I catched every goddamn boy in the room's attention, and before I could even think my phone immediately started blowing up with messages.

With boys I had no idea who they were spamming me if we could go out, people are sick!

❆

"He's genuinely the most annoying pathetic guy this world has" I whine taking an aggressive bite of my French fries, "Hey don't worry, we'll help with the project" Esme shrugs slurping on her VANILLA milkshake.

"Yeah, and why couldn't your uncle switch your partner?" Sienna asked, "Jackson said and I quote we should get along"

They both groan and whine along with me, "Whatever Jackson, we'll help, anyways what are you doing tomorrow after school-"
"I can't I have to tutor Greyson" They both ooo and make disgusted faces while I nod in agreement, "We saw the video of you two arguing, everyone's saying your his new nemesis even tho it didn't look so bad"

Esme arched a brow stealing a bite of my French Frie, "I haven't seen you that mad before" She giggled, "I've never gotten that annoyed, he just lets the worst of me out I can't wait till this trimester is over" While I take a bite of my tator totes I suddenly flinch when I feel Sienna kick me under the table.

Her eyes gaze toward behind me, so I curiously turn around, but I quickly jerk back catching Esme's attention, "What-" Sienna hoovers her hand over Esme's mouth as I glance back.

Behind stood Aaron with Arden, along with Greyson and his brother across from them, I gulped, why do I always get dragged into their messes when I don't wish to?

"Should we do something?" Sienna asked glancing back and forth between us all
"What is there to do?" Esme arched a brow bitting the inside of her cheek, "We should get Aaron out of here before world war three starts?" Esme slightly giggles.

"I'll talk to them" I sigh sitting up from my seat and making my way up to Aaron who laughed with a bunch of hockey jocks, "Hey guys!" I smile waving, "Alice what are you doing here?" Aaron smiles back wrapping his arm around my neck, "Hey Mayfield" Jaylen winked, "Hey Alice..." Arden gulped, he hasn't apologized for pushing me into the pool, jerk.

"Hey there very single lady" Nick taunts, while everyone laughs I roll my eyes and glance- my eyes landed directly on Greysons who scolded Aaron beside me.

I sigh, Aaron hasn't noticed him, I still have enough time to get them out of here, "Dude that's my sister" Aaron shaves his fist against Nick's shoulder, "Sorry dude" Nick swallows,

"So Alice you coming to the lightning fire tomorrow night" Shit! the lightning fire, it's a bonfire we do every year to celebrate the Puma's new season coming up.

"Of course she is" Aaron speaks for me, I guess I don't have an option but to go, "Hey boys" We all jerk behind us, I groan and roll my eyes folding my arms across my chest, "Quinn what's up?" Aaron waved and greeted her with a smile, "Nothing much just came to see my baby" The boys let out snorts behind us, while I try to contain my smile.

"And who's your baby?" Jaylen walks beside me while tugging on my neck with his big biceps, "Greyson" She smiles directly at me, and we all went silent including Aaron, "hey there" Suddenly we all jerk to see Greyson making his way up to Quinn.

He wraps his arm around her neck while smirking at Aaron and me, Aaron suddenly snorts, "Your dating this jerk? I guess bitches do stick together don't they" I take a deep breath while the boys laugh along with Aaron, I glance at Esme and Sienna who came pacing beside Aaron waiting for any action to start we can try pulling these 6'1 boys away from each other.

"The fuck did you just say?" Greyson suddenly took a step closer, but before he could close the gap between Aaron and him, I step close, he arches a brow, and the boys went silent, "Fuck off" I hissed, "Or what"

"I'll have to make you" he smirks and licks his bottom lip, "Back off Graham" Aaron stood behind me, while my girls beside me scolding Quinn, but his eyes were directly on mine, ignoring everyone in the room as we basically had an eye contest.

And I'm not going to be the first one to look away, he'll think he'll win, as much as I try t maintain it, I hold onto my stare-

"Hey, back off" Conrad suddenly shoved Greyson back while Liam panted like a dog, Conrad suddenly whispered into Greyson's ear, his smirk disappearing within a second, "You got lucky Mayfields" Then, without hesitation, he barges out the door.

"What? Greyson?!" Quinn shouts, "Seems like your man ghosted you, Quinn" Arden arches his brows, taunting her, she grunts and storms away, running after them is my guess.
