NOTED.

Who?

The rest of the class was like an endless
Back and Forth
Back and Forth
Back and Forth
He raises his hand, I raise my hand.
I raise my hand, he raises his hand.
I mean who does this guy think he is? I am soon to be class president, best grades in the school, one of the smartest scholars in the state Bora Nessa Kang and mister smarty pants thinks he can take that away. I might just like this guy if he didn't seem so obviously threatened by me. He's laid back too hasn't made any crazy noticeable effort but I can tell, once a question is asked he's revving up to beat me.

I raised my hand "Eukaryotes."

He raised his hand "15 bones of the 206" a sly smile on his face as he looks at me. I wanna crush him.

"Who do you think you are?" I whisper frustrated.
 
"Someone who seems to know more than you." He says all sly like.

"That's not true it's your first day you should be shaking in fear at my vast intelligence."

"Actually I'm shaking in happiness that I don't have to sit behind your vast head."

"Ew, why are you shaking happy."

"That's not how I-"

"There's not a single right way for you to be saying that. You're obviously trying to distract me from the fact you're cheating."

"How could I cheat? You expect me to read those hieroglyphics of notes that have?"

"That's actually the point. I make sure no one can cheat off my notes."

"You must be insecure about your system them."

"No my system has no faults."

"Then why accuse me of cheating?" He smirks and the bells rings I take a deep breathe in and out before grabbing my stuff and leaving. This guy has to be the most aggravating person I have ever met.

Soon it's ok. I go to our spot, me and Allen's spot. I stand there right at the corner where hallways A and B lead to C. He walks down and sees me. he waves hi. I wave hi. It's perfect per usual. Then that disease is lurking behind him. I give him a sarcastic smile and he smiles teasing me. I really don't get this guy. Like what's his angle.

I went to my locker and found Jess there waiting. It made me realize that people can say whatever they want about her, but she's a loyal friend. "Hey."

"Where have you been? Usually stalking Allen only takes two minutes today it took three."

"Just some traffic in the hallways and this..guy."

"Guy? Have you finally moved on?" She says her face showing how this is way more interesting to her than the hallway back up. I mean I think that's pretty pressing issue that could cause problems but I guess not.

"Ok, don't get too excited. I'd hardly call him a guy. He's more like a fly that won't go away." I sigh in frustration just thinking about him. "Let's not talk about him yea?"

"Ok, but at least tell me his name."

"Issac, maybe?"

"Come on, you totally know and won't tell me."

"Whatever you think he is, he's not ok."

The rest of the day went on fortunately. It was the end of the day and I started walking home, but before that I took a way around the main hallway everyone else goes through. It's longer but more peaceful since the only people going that way are people who do art club after school. theirs only five members of art club. I'm thinking of joining though. No one in that club is popular or anything but it'll help my run for class president. I'll seem like one of the people. I already have some guys that I lured into promising me their vote too, mainly on the sports teams. Speaking of sports team I still have to ask the hockey teams girl and guy. should be easy. I just passed the art room Ms.Fero is there like always she waved hi and so do I. I finally reach the exit. It leads me to the side of the school building by the football field. I make the mistake of turning to my right and there he is.

"Are you stalking me?" Ivan speaks even though we all know the world would be better if he didn't.

"You wish." I scoff and start walking. After a minute or two he loosely follows behind me. "Are you following me?"

"Why would I follow you? I don't even know you."

"If you don't know me that means I know something more than you."

He stops and thinks for a second before blurting "Bora Nessa Kang. Uh your a 10th year that was moved up earlier this year cause your supposedly really smart."

I stop and turn to him, he looks confused and looks away when we make eye contact. I continue to walk and after a minute he starts to follow again. "Ha, I win the 'don't know you' game."

"Are you really proud of the fact you don't know the name of the guy who's supposedly following you home?"

"I have a taser and some other things where you wouldn't even suspect. If you're really smart you wouldn't pull anything." There's a silence and I wonder how he found that information out about me. I remember that my face and all that info is on the school website and also just public knowledge due to all the competitions I've been in.

"Bora, do you like Allen?" He ask so out of nowhere.

My smile drops. One he called me Bora no one except my mom when I'm in trouble calls me that. My mom gave me the English name Nessa cause a friend suggested it and she liked how simple it sounded. My mother above everything just wants me to live a happy free life, but we're not talking bout her right now. He knows I like Allen. For once in my life I have to act dumb.

"Who's Allen?"

"My cousin."

"Wait he's your cousin?"

"I thought you didn't know him?"

"Well know that you've said something it rings a bell." I hadn't noticed I stopped walking trying to plead my case he somehow wounded up way in-front of me and I had to chase to catch up. "Wait."

"Following me are you?"
