The school bell rang, indicating that it was lunch break. Justin heaved a heavy sigh and dropped his head onto his wooden desk.

He closed his eyes and rested his head on top of his arms, maybe now he would be able to get some sleep.  He felt a finger poke his side and let out an annoyed grunt, fidgeting a bit in his seat.

He felt it again, only this time, against his cheek. Justin shook off the unwanted guest, only to get a harsh whack on the head. 

"Bro what the fuck!" Justin growled and saw that it was Za.

"Don't make me drag you to lunch." Za says while rolling his eyes.

Justin sighed before pushed his chair out with a loud, unflattering screech. He barely got enough sleep last night.

Za winced slightly at the harsh sound of wood scraping against the floor. He was about to complain but stopped as soon as he noticed Justin's crestfallen expression. He looked almost dead.

"It's okay Justin. Just talk to Lily about it." Za says while walking with Justin to the cafeteria.

"What took y'all so long?" He heard Fredo say and sees Lily walking over to him. Justin smiles and hugs Lily from behind.

"Just not feeling okay today." Justin mutters and shuts his eyes. He can't stop thinking about staying with Ariana for so long. He can't do it.

"Baby, are you okay?" Lily asks putting a hand on his cheek. Justin shakes his head and kisses her cheek.

"I'm fine, just didn't get enough sleep last night." He says and sits down with Lily.

Ariana looked up from her food as the table in front of her erupted in laughter again. She rolled her eyes frustratedly and began to pick at her lunch.

They were so damn loud. That stupid Ryan's laughter was always so disruptive.

She heaved a heavy sigh and let her head fall on the table, she was so tired. She didn't get enough sleep either, mainly because she was thinking about the 'I love you' Justin exchanged with Lily.

The stress kept her up all night, and Justin left her there, making her late for school this morning.

"Ariana, are you listening to me?" Her cake faced 'friend',Jenny, nudged her with an elbow and looked at her expectantly.

"Jenny, Ariana's tired, let her rest for a while." Emily says while rubbing her arm. I give Emily a small smile, thanking her and she smiles at me also and giving me the 'We'll talk later' look. I nod my head and take a deep breath.

"Hey Ari. She's staring again." Claire nudged her and pointed in front of her, toward Lily. Lily quickly looked down when Ariana turned to look.

Ariana scoffed and turned away, "Just ignore it."

She rested her head on her arms and closed her eyes. She did not want to deal with this right now

"Hey, she's looking at you again."

"Leave it."

~~~

"She's still staring at you."

"Mmhhmm."

~~~

"What the hell, why does she keep staring at you? Ugh. It's annoying."

"I said ignore it okay?" Ariana says getting annoyed.
