Treacherous || T. Nott

THREE

Peyton glanced at the watch on Theo's wrist before averting her gaze back to the front. It had been days after the scene of her being on top of Theo trying to take his life with her own hands. 

It was a failure and she wasn't happy about it.

All those hard works and the way she built her walls just to prevent herself from getting attached to the Nott's heir was useless.

They had grown closer than before and she was becoming scared of her own feelings. 

It wasn't a good sign and she didnt want it to be.

Maybe she had grown to truly care for Theo instead of putting up an act that she cared about him when she could care less if he lost his body.

"Feeling uncomfortable?" Theo suddenly whispered in her ear. "It's break after this, Princess."

"Will you stop calling that, you bloody daft?" Peyton hit his arm lightly. She didnt enjoy that not on bit.

It made her feel some type of way

Who was she kidding. It was Theodore Nott. The handsome young noble man anyone would have a hard time resisting him.

Including her.

"I've been calling you that ever since last year, and only now you're complaining?"

Fixing her hair, she snapped, "It's making me uncomfortable."

"What? Me calling you Princess?"

Frowing, Peyton turned her face back to the front and listened to what the professor was saying.

"You aren't gonna ignore me like that are you?" Theo added, his voice low trying to hide the fact that he wasn't paying attention to the class.

Seeing how Peyton wasn't reacting to him calling her, he placed a hand on her thigh, gripping it lightly.

It was such an improper thing to do during class although Peyton wouldn't mind him doing it, she was actually used to it.

Peyton immediately turned to face him once she felt his grip on her thigh.

"What do you want?"

"Don't ignore me." Theo warned. "You don't ignore me when i'm talking."

Smirking teasingly, Peyton stuck her lollipop in his mouth. "I'm not those girls you hook up with Theo, I don't take orders from anyone."

"Who said I hooked up with them?"

"I said."

"Well its not true."

"You never-"

Theo grinned. "Why are you so curious though?"

Peyton felt her cheeks getting hotter by the minute as she felt Theo's gaze on her. It was normal topic for teenagers around their age to talk about but for her it was something to advance.

"I'm just confirming" Peyton replied casually if the blood rushing to her cheeks weren't visible.

Chuckling, Theo turned to face the front again this time paying full attention to the class. "I dont do those things with just anyone, Princess."

Not wanting to continue the conversation about the topic. Peyton grabbed his wrist and looked at the on his watch.

"15 more minutes." She whispered to herself, feeling irritated.

"Why do you look so anxious?"

"I want to go to the Library after this" explained Peyton. "I got things I need to research."
