     Mr. Hunt's class consisted of the usual. A small lecture and then a continuation of a current project. Vanessa had Mr.Hunt twice a day, once for her actual class and then once again to help around; she was essentially a Teacher's aid. Her first class with him was quiet, Ryan didn't glance at her once and Chaz hardly spoke a word to her.
    The second time around, Justin lingered beside her, sipping on his water as they approached the room a few minutes early. The door was always unlocked for Van around this time since she usually tidied up before his last period came in. Like the two agreed before first period, they walked to his class together. Justin sat his stuff down at his section and began to help Van prepare the acrylic, oil, and cheaper paints along with sketching pens. A variation of copic and micro markers as well.

"Do you think Mr.Hunt is gonna ask me to take off my hat?" He asked, placing materials by the canvas.
Vanessa looked over at him and furrowed her brows.

"Most likely." She stated. "We're violating dress code." Justin huffed and removed his hat. He walked over to his stool and placed it on top.

"Nice hair." Vanessa giggled, mimicking his actions. She shrugged off her beanie and fluffed her hair. Her hidden waves grazing her shoulder.

"You too, Van."
A small smile stayed on her face as she continued to place the materials where they belonged. A small splat echoed throughout part of the room followed by a light groan from Justin. Vanessa turned around to see vibrant oil pant on the title. Her eyes widened slightly before she hurriedly grabbed some wet paper towels. Justin was already crouched down, scrubbing the life out of the title before Vanessa attempted to pull down her skirt and place both knees onto the cold flooring. She knew oil didn't dry quickly at all, but she wanted to clean it up hastily.

"It was bound to happen, I guess." Justin said, with a slight smirk. Vanessa's eyebrows began to furrow before she looked over at him and gasped. Without thinking, she threw the dirty paper towel at him, paint greeting his face.

"That's so childish." She stated before covering her mouth with her hands. "I'm so sorry." Justin wiped his face with his bandaged thumb. Bringing it down into his vantage he smirked and threw his napkin at her as well. A low gasp escaped her plump lips as she looked down at her top, a small processing stain vivid.

"I would say that's fair but that wasn't even due to impulse." She commented, shoving him ever so lightly, causing his body to move further to the right, as she slapped her hand into the disappearing paint and placed her hand onto his shirt. Justin chuckled and tackled her playfully, his eyes burning into hers. Soon after a voice cleared.


"Vanessa, Justin" Mr. Hunt coughed, setting down his lunch on his desk. Justin licked his lips before standing and placing a hand out for Vanessa to accept. Mr.Hunt stared at the two.

"Sorry, Mr. Hunt. It's not Vanessa's fault. It was me. I spilled some oil paint and she was nice enough to help me get it."

"Mhm. I see." He nodded, eyeing Vanessa before looking back at Justin. "I'll be back in a moment. I need to get a few hand outs. Please have it cleaned up before I return." He stated, turning on his heels and leaving. Justin sighed and ran a hand through his strands before laughing and staring at Van.

A few minutes before class ended a familiar face stood in front of the door, his upper half visible through the glass. He stared down Justin until his eyes found his. Dwayne nodded his head towards the right. Justin's eyes switched from his to the clock and nodded back at Dwayne. Dwayne nodded once more and disappeared.
The bell rang and Justin hurriedly tidied up his area before grabbing his stuff and slipping his hat back on.

"Hey, just wait for me outside the building, alright?" He questioned.

"Yeah, sure." Van stated, raising an eyebrow before softening her face, following behind Justin and turning in the opposite direction, glancing back a few times before exiting the school.

Justin's eyes scanned the locker to left and lurked over.

"What's up?" He questioned, stuffing both of his hands in his pocket. Dwayne raised an eyebrow at the paint on his face before his face went deadpan again. He searched the hallway for a moment, trying to see if any of his guys were around. When he noticed they weren't, he began to speak.

"The party is back on."

Justin looked back and forth before raising an eyebrow.

"Why are you telling me this?" He questioned.

"Because you're the star of the show." He smiled, before patting Justin's shoulder as he propped himself off of the lockers. "See you there." With that Dwayne walked towards the exit of the school. Justin soon followed after huffing and pushed the school door's open. To his right was Vanessa, typing away on her outdated device. Justin licked his lips before stalking over. She really needs a new phone, he thought.

"I'll walk you to your car." He stated, nodding his head in the direction of her luxurious vehicle. Rising from the metal bench she began to walk along side him.

"What did Dwayne want?" She questioned abruptly after moments of debating on whether or not she was going to ask the question. Her eyes stared at his flawless face as she waited for a response.

"The party is back on." He shrugged not looking at her.

A/N: Hi guys! I'm trying to put out chapters back to back but I'm sleep deprived. I've literally been going to sleep at 3-5 am and waking up as late as 3. It's honestly ridiculous and draining lol. So, I apologize if the last three chapters have multiple spelling errors. I'm not completely here. (Should be fixed by now).

Two more views and we hit 800 on the first chapter! How exciting is that? Thank you so much my beautiful babies. I also want to thank those that have recently added this story and DBU to their Reading List. I've woken up each morning recently with a notification of such. It's honestly so heart warming and I want to thank you guys for that.
