Me And Y8

33 - Smirk

"The first words she ever speaks to me in her life, and she decides to break my heart with them. For the longest time, I wished I could unthink you. Unlove you. Unbreathe you. I think I finally can." - Book

"I'll be the mouse, and you? My cat." - Quote

"Not my problem. That's just not my problem." - Song

"But can't we just act like we're going to give them a prize and just don't give anyone a prize? So then, collecting primary data would be cheap and efficient?" I furrow my eyebrows, confused.

He chuckles. "It would be a scam then, Siyana."

I internally smack myself as Malik mumbles. "That's cause she's Indian."

My jaw drops as I glare at Mr. Always Silver Against Siyana.

"Atleast my WhatsApp bio isn't pathetic or something, like Football is Life. With an exclamation mark." I mock.

"Atleast I have WhatsApp." Fair-enough, silverboy.

"Enough." Mr. Reid warns.

"Can we do a survey of our own?" David asks.

"Sure."

Damien, David, Zayn, Evelyn, Leah, Asher pass by.

"Siyana? Favourite colour?" Mr. Reid asks.

"Pink."

"Animal?"

I reply. "Lioness."

"Age?"

"Twelve."

He questions my silverboy. "Last, Malik. Favourite animal?"

"I don't know."

"Car?"

"Bugatti."

Last question, I mentally remind myself. "Favourite colour."

Malik turns towards me, glaring. "Gold."

I return a taunting smirk. "Too bad, you can only ever get silver." He shakes his head, his jaw ticking.

He fights back a smile as my smirk widens, and we both know it.

"We'll go first!" Zayn exclaims.

We were creating a chocolate advertisement campaign, and we were in teams of our choice. I was with Leah, Ava and Evelyn.

Malik, Damien, Tyke, Habeel, and Zayn were in a team. Mia, Jennie, Hijana, Eliana and Hailey were on the other team. Followed by, Aarav, Asher, Pedro and David were on the last team.

"We'll go second." I raise my hand.

"Third!" Pedro shrieks.

And without speaking a word, Mia's team is last.

They walk to the front, with Damien on one side of the screen and the rest (Tyke, Habeel, Malik and Zayn with a weird-ass helmet that's making Pedro cackle) gather on the other side.

"Our brand name is Odyssey!" Damien exclaims.

"And it's out of the world." Zayn says and jumps high. Like, really high.

I laugh alongside Pedro, Leah and Mia.

"The cover was made by Malik." Tyke informs

Zayn jumps. "And it's out of the world."

"Where do we get this from?" Tyke flashes a smug grin and nudges Malik forward.

"Why me?" He whispers.
