"It's about love, and there's nothing reasonable about love." - Book

"He looks at you like he never wants to look away." - Quote

"When your lips undress me, hooked on your tongue." - Song

"I actually really like art these days." Ava says.

"Yeah, it's nice with us four. Me, you, Leah and Evelyn." I respond.

"Stand in two separate lines please." My art teacher exclaims.

"I hate her though." I tell Ava.

"I tolerate her, I guess."

The next five words make me want to cry, jump in joy or punch my teacher.

"Stand at the back, please." What the fuck?

"No!" I sigh.

Groans erupt in the classroom as I slowly trotted into the class.

Mia sits with Tyke, David and two others, Leah with Damien, Eliana and one more person, Ava with Jennie, Zayn and Habeel. I sit with Omar (Ismail), Hailey and the-guy-that-I-act-like-I-hate.

It's bad and good at the same time.

At least Omar is absent today.

Throughout the course of half of the lesson, we don't talk. But he finds ways to silently annoy me. Clicking his pen or banging on the table or making a beat with his legs and his chair.

He stares at me though, when I'm working or whenever I roll my eyes at him, in annoyance making him deliberately do that again and again until I snap. "Stop!"

He smirks. "As you say."

This fucking guy has the audacity to continue shaking the table with his entire fucking body.

"Malik, you don't have a purpose in life at this point." I complain.

"It's starting." Zayn sing-songs.

Omar (Elhansy) starts saying something, probably about me as he said my name, but Malik glares at him, shutting him up.

"No, it's not. There's nothing to start, Zayn."

"Isn't that right, Zayn?" Malik asks.

Zayn smirks, nodding but his eyes glinting.

I'm bored, so I remember something that Hailey said the other day.

"Hailey? Remember when I said that some of the books I recommended you had weird, you-know-what, scenes. You said that your mum wanted you to read stuff like that? What do you mean because I know that my mum would murder me if she found out what I'm reading."

"What do you read?" Malik questions, even though he definitely knows what I read.

"What do I read? I think you know Malik."

"Dark romance and Romantasy." Leah chirps. Where the fuck did she come from.

"No! My mum told me that I could read books with 'that' but I should just skip the rest of the chapter or something."

"But don't skip the rest of the chapter because there's gonna be a love confession after they fuck. I'm just saying." I utter.

"That sounds weird." Malik mutters.

"Shut up."

"Make me."

"I don't have to."

"You can't make me."
