"I'm done!" I exclaim in Maths as Mr. Reid walks over to my desk.
"Are you sure, Siyana? That you didn't just tick everything off like Malik?"
"Yeah! I finished everything. Including the graph and I drew it, unlike someone. "
Malik flashes a sheepish grin as he raises his arms in mock-surrender, "I drew it today."
"Today, you're one day late. It was supposed to be yesterday."
"Still." He replies.
"Okay, you sure?" Mr. Reid confirms, again.
"Yeah?! I'm nothing like him."
"Sure." Damien utters.
Tyke laughs. "You wish."
"And I don't play the ukulele."
Habeel smirks and says, "I'm not Indian."
"I'm not Italian." David continues.
Malik smirks. "And I'm not Siyana's biggest academic rival."
"And I'm not the best in music in this class." Leah murmurs.
"We're supposed to say stuff that's not true, Leah." My silverboy humbles Leah.
"I'm not a Music Ambassador." Mia mumbles.
Ava screeches. "I didn't win the triathlon last weekend."
"Shut up, guys." I manage to blurt out.
"Since Siyana's done-"
"Me too."
Mr. Reid finishes. "Since Siyana and Malik are finished, can you guys go around checking everyone's books?"
"Siyana and Malik!"
"Siyana and Malik!"
"Milky and his chocolate milk!" Pedro screams.
Eliana rolls her eyes. Okay, you jealous skinned mole-rat who looks like she's been through all of the three world wars while trying to act mysterious and miserably failing. Like, shut up you hairy-ogre.
We go around and after a while we reach the same place, Hijana.
"Mine." Malik's eyes pierce through mine as I say it.
He leans in, "Nope."
Fuck him.
"Aaron Warner could never, be a gentleman."
His lips tip up into a bitter smile. "Good thing that I'm not Aaron Warner or a gentleman."
"Really, I never knew? I mean- your sasquatch-ass personality with your mental capacity of a chipped rock kind of disguises everything beneath it." I roast.
"Fair-played."
Outside our little box, people were screaming "Crypto Hack!"
"Gold Quest!"
"Gold Quest!"
"Crypto Hack!" A few voices screech.
"Fishing Frenzy!"
"Not Battle Royale because last time it grouped Siyana and Malik." Aya yells.
"Gold Quest!"
"Gold Quest, it is."
