Tess's Pov

"Doesn't it bother you?" Adrian asked and I looked up from my sketch to see him staring at me. I creased my brows in confusion.

"Huh?" I asked, having no idea what the hell he was going on about. Did what bother me?

"The fact that everyone talks about you" he muttered and it finally clicked. I shrugged.

"You build up a tolerance" I said matter-of-factly and I felt his eyebrows crease. He was just about to say something when the teacher interrupted with an announcement.

"Right class, I am going to put you in groups of four for our next project. Come see me after class so you can tell me who you want to be paired with" He said and we all nodded, some groaned and others started to gossip about being with the princes.

"Looks like you're not going to be short on partner choices" I laughed with a smile as I looked at Adrian and Jack as everyone suddenly turned to them asking if they wanted to be in a group. I chucked and went back to my sketch, completely missing everything Adrian was saying as I thought about what I was going to do later.

"Tess!" Adrian hissed and I snapped out of it only to realise that everyone was leaving the room. I blushed slightly realising I was on his lap, grabbing my things I stuffed them in my bag before skipping out of class, ignoring the teacher as he shouted for me to pick my group.

"Tess, wait up!" I heard someone shout as I skipped out of class. It was lunch and I was hungry! I spun around to see Adrian jogging up the halls with Jack and Dana walking hand in hand behind him. I creased my brows slightly before smiling.

"Hello hello hello, what's all this then?" I said in a low voice and a shake of my head. He looked at me strangely but the smile never left his expression. Once he had caught up we began walking ahead of Jack and Dana as they followed along, I refused to look at her as her eyes flashed with guilt before her usual cocky expression was put into play.

"What you doing for lunch?" he asked as he put an arm around my shoulder. I shrugged it off and he looked at me confused and slightly hurt before an evil grin made its way onto my lips. Before he could protest I jumped onto his back and held on for dear life.

"Come on I want a piggy back again" I whined and pleaded as he grabbed my legs. He chuckled as we continued to walk. We got strange looks as we walked down the hall, again the girls looking at me with hate and disgust. I didn't mind, nobody liked me much anyway.

"Well?" Adrian said interrupting my thoughts.

"Urm...I was going to go the beach" I said with a smile as I thought about jumping in the sea. It was a nice day today. I noticed that a lot of people were watching our conversation...strange.

"The beach?" he asked and I nodded and told him to go to my room. I was a little freaked out that he knew that where it was when he got their without asking me how but I shrugged it off since I really didn't care. I jumped off his back only to find that Jack and Dana were no longer behind us.

"Where have they gone?" I asked as I pulled my key out of my bra and opened my door. I turned to see Adrian watching me with amusement and...Lust? I gestured for him to come in ignoring the emotions.

"Don't you have a roommate?" he asked as he looked around with interest. My room was coloured in neon of course as well as most of my stuff being in the shape of sweets and food. Strange I know but I liked it.

"No one wanted to be with me?" I said matter-of-factly. He looked at me for a while until he realised I was getting uncomfortable under his gaze. What was he doing here again?

"I'm coming to the beach with you" he said and I looked at him confused. Oh I must have said it out loud again. Stupid mouth filter!

"Cool, let me just get my swim stuff I forgot to put it on" I said with a grin as I went to get my bright yellow bikini. I wasn't ashamed of my body, if someone didn't like the way I looked then that was their problem. I started to take off my top not realising that Adrian was still there until I heard him clear his throat. I looked at him as I stopped pulling my shirt off mid way.

"Yea" I asked with a raised brow.

"Do you want me to leave or something?" he asked nervously, though his eyes never left my stomach which was now bare. I shrugged.

"You can if you want" I said matter-of-factly as I pulled my top all the way off and threw it on the bed. Not bothering to pull off my tutu I just removed my panties and put on my swimming ones without flashing him. As I began to take off my bra I heard him chock from behind. I looked around alarmed to find Adrian staring at me with pure lust, his eyes dark with passion. I liked it I found.

"Are you ok Adrian?" I asked as I caught him staring. He swallowed and nodded. I was probably making him uncomfortable so I made my way into the small bathroom to change into the top of my bikini.

Making sure my pig-tails were still up and straight I removed the pinks bands and put yellow ones on my wrists and a clip in my bag as I removed all my jewellery. I smiled as I looked in the mirror and plodded out of the tutu and into a short white dress I had with some matching flats.

Grabbing my oversized bag I put in a towel, sun cream and my music. Once I checked everything I grabbed my oversized sunglasses and slipped them on.

"Adrian!" I screamed and he came rushing in quickly. He looked around checking for any danger before his wide eyes landed on mine.

"What is it?" he asked panicked and I giggled. I never giggle what the hell?

"Ready to go?" I asked with an innocent smile and he nodded after looking me over.

"Eyes up here big boy" I smirked as his eyes stayed on my legs and chest for a while. His head snapped to mine and I could see his face heat up. Aw he looked so cute! Like a puppy.

"Can we just go to my dorm, I need to get some trunks?" he asked and my eyes widened.

"Why, what have any elephants done to you? What would you need them for anyway? No! I won't let you hurt any elephants!" I screamed at him seriously. I put my hands on my hips when he suddenly burst out laughing after looking at me as if I had grown three heads. What was so funny? Was he seriously going to kill the big animals, they have done nothing to him! Had they?

"I meant swimming trunks Tess" he said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my room.

"Oh" I said quietly as I looked my door and grabbed his hand again. As I turned around it was then I noticed that a lot of people and by people I mean girls were dressed to go down the beach. Urm...coincidence I think not! Gosh I'm well smart; maybe I should be a detective!

"Tess" I heard someone say and I snapped out of it.

"I could be like go-go gadget" I blurted out before I could stop myself. Adrian looked at me strangely before opening the room's door he was standing next to. This must be his room.

"Oh hey man what you..." I heard Jack say as he came out of the bathroom. He was shirtless and I scanned him hungrily. Yum!

"Tess what are you doing here?" I heard Jack say with a smirk and I looked up, I could feel my face heat up but I ignored it and walked over to a large bed. Throwing myself in the middle of it I propped myself onto my elbows so I could watch them. They both stared at me with amusement.

"Are you changing or what?" I asked Adrian with a raised brow and he gave me a cocky grin.

"Where are you guys going?" Jack asked suddenly and I interrupted Adrian before he could speak. ​

"The beach brov!" I laughed and started to jump on the bed. It was really bouncy. Once I started to feel a little sick I stopped and turned to find both Adrian and Jack staring at me. My smile dropped.

"I missed you change" I pouted causing Adrian to laugh but a strange expression to form on Jacks face. Weird! I shrugged it off and grabbed my bag after I hopped off the bed.

"Come on I want Ice-cream!" I demanded before running out the room leaving them stunned. What? I wanted ice-cream.
