Tyler's POV

If this class doesn't end I'm gonna bang my head on the table until I get knocked out. English is so boring. Ms Vienetta got us to work on our argumentative essay. Mine's about 'why we should legalize marijuana', and I've already finished it. Almost every other guy in the class wanted to do that topic, but Ms Vienetta made everyone do a different topic, and I thought of it first. Lucky me. 

I look at Brian, who's staring at Nikki. "Dude, what's with you and Nikki." I ask him.

He snaps out of his gaze and looks at me with a guilty smile. "Oh um, we're just seeing each other, nothing really 'official'."

"Are you serious, it's so obvious you guys are a couple."

"Is it? Shit, I don't want everybody to know."

"Think it's too late buddy." I say in a bogan accent.

"Ha-ha..." Brian laughs weakly, and then turns back to staring at Nikki. Yep Brian, I think, totally not obvious...

When it's lunchtime, Jackson, Alex and I try to find Brian. We saw him when we left class but then he seemed to be gone. "Where did he go?" I say.

"Dunno." Alex replies.

"Wait guys, I've found him, look." Jackson points to the girls lockers. 

What is he doing there?! And why is Abrielle, Nikki, Christina and Olivia with him?! Well, I understand Nikki, but why the other girls? We walk over to him. "What the f*ck Brian why did you just disappear?" I say.

"Oh, hey guys, I was with Nikki." He smiles and turns to her. Christina and Olivia quietly talk amongst themselves while Abrielle gives me the evil eye. Yikes. I haven't talked about that fight on Instagram yet, but I'm willing to, she needs some explaining to do.

Alex turns to Jackson and I. "So er, are they together now?" He whispers.

"Obviously you idiot, they're all over each other." Jackson whisper-shouts back. I briefly glance at them. Brian seems to be telling a story while Nikki's giggling like a love struck puppy. When was Brian a ladies man?

The atmosphere is so awkward. It's just Nikki and Brian talking while the rest of us is silent. "Hey um, why don't we guys all hang out together? Let's walk around or something." Christina breaks the tension. Everyone nods quietly except for Abrielle. Her face is like a deer in headlights. Oh god no, I don't want to hang out with them! Well, actually it's just Abrielle I despise, I don't mind the rest of them.

Brian and Nikki lead the way while everyone shuffles behind them. Christina and Olivia start making conversation with us, but Abrielle stays silent. 

About 30 minutes later, Abrielle finally says something. "Did you guys finish the English essay?" Everyone shakes their head. 

"I did." I say quickly, my voice out of place. 

"What about the humanities one?" She says immediately after I reply. I think she was trying to cut me off, but I was too fast. The others just look at us awkwardly. Even Brian and Nikki. We stare at each other, her eyes blinking like they want to look away. I get lost in her deep chocolate brown eyes, they're so fascinating- I mean, uncomfortable to look at.

The bell rings for period 4. Phew, I don't know how much longer I would have lasted. Everyone says bye to one another, except for Abrielle and I, who quickly go off to our ways. Alex catches up to me and hits my back to get my attention. "Bro, can you just play it cool with Abrielle?" 

"HOW CAN I PLAY IT COOL WHEN I HAD A FIGHT WITH HER?!" I shout back at him.

"I think you've been having that fight since you guys met." Jackson says rolling his eyes.

"Why don't you just say sorry to her? Then it'll be all cool." Brian reassures me. 

"What in the living f*ck I am not apologizing she's the bitch who commented on my post." I snap back at him.

"Dude, just calm the f*ck down." Brian says. "I want us guys to hangout with them."

I am so close to losing my shit. "You just want us to hang out with them so you can smash Nikki!" I yell. Think I did just lose my shit.

"Dude, that's not true, I'm sorry..." Brian apologizes, defeated.

My anger goes away and I cool down. "Nah, I'm sorry for shouting at you guys."

"It's okay." they all say in an exaggerated tone. What is wrong with me today? Abrielle is making me go nuts... am I falling in love with her? Wait, I can't believe that thought just crossed my mind. That would NEVER happen.
