007.

I USE MY fork to repeatedly poke the scrambled eggs placed on my plate, my chin resting on my palm while i'm zoned out as i'm completely oblivious to the conversation going on around me.

'and then, bam! you smoked him right in the jaw.' noah exaggerates, making cruz and ani laugh as he retells the fight between cruz and the guy.

'i'm glad it was entertaining for you, noah.' cruz says, leaning back in his chair as noah shrugs.

'it was indeed.' he continues before turning to me. 'nady?' he questions, poking me to gain my attention as i hum, looking up at him. 'did you hear anything i just said?'

'sorry.' i mumble, placing my fork down. 'i'm gonna get to form.' i say, getting up.

'this early?' ani questions, looking at me concerned.

i nod as cruz raises his brows a little, looking up at me. 'i'm coming with you.' he says as i shake my head.

'finish eating, i just need to think to myself for a bit.' i shrug as he nods before i turn to walk away, feeling all three of them staring at me from behind. i tuck a curled strand behind my ear as i walk through the empty corridors until i make it to the stairs. i start to slowly walk up them until i hear voices. arguing. my curiosity peaks as i take quiet steps, getting closer to the source of the noise.

'i don't give a fuck about her.' i hear vivienne speak before a scoff.

'okay, well i do.' oakley.

'you can't care about her while in a relationship with me, that's not how it works oakley.' she scolds as i hear silence from her victim. relationship?

i take another step, however, the floor creaks as i mentally curse myself. i hear them both go silent and their footsteps recede as i turn on my heel, deciding on going another way to avoid getting caught. i walk through the corridors again, taking the long way around as i exit the main building, heading for the science block as it's quite empty on campus right now. the bell then rings, symboling that i'm late to form despite having left early for it. however, i don't really care about that because i realised that oakley lied to me. he claimed that he was only with vivienne because he had to be, but he didn't. what a bitch. i scoff to myself before entering my form, the entire class' attention falling onto me as i walk across to my seat.

'nadya, you're late.' my form tutor states as i sit down in my seat.

'i am aware.'

'any reason?' he asks as i shake my head, taking my stuff out as i see cruz looking at me. 'detention.'

'what?' i mouth to cruz as he shakes his head, turning his attention back to the board as i slump in my seat, looking down at the pen i twirl in my hands.

I WALK INTO detention, greyson's attention turning to me as he furrows his brows at me. 'nadya, i didn't expect to see you in here today.' he states as i shrug.

'where do i sit?' i ask as he gestures to an empty seat at the back. i walk over to it, my attention turning to the one beside it as oakley looks at me confused.

'detention, nady?' he whispers as i shrug, ignoring him.

'silence.' greyson booms as i hear oakley scoff before going back to what he was doing. the old man then walks over to me, standing in front of my desk. 'what did you get detention for?' he asks, his thick brows furrowed.
