G.A.Y.S.

Chapter 4

ALEXA'S POV

By the end of the first month of school, I'm almost sure of quite a few things:
1. Evelyn has developed a crush on none other than: Pablo
2. Zoella thinks the same thing and is not happy about it. AT ALL.
3. Evelyn has the biggest chance of getting Pablo to like her back than any other girl in the grade, even me :(
Okay, well I'm not 100% sure that Evelyn likes him, but it almost seems obvious. Whenever he's brought up she pays just that much more attention. I can tell that she likes to ask me questions about him, and she likes when I bring him up. The only problem is that the time I asked her about it, she denied.
I wouldn't really mind if she liked him- well, okay, I would -but I mean I can't stop her, and I can't choose who Pablo chooses. Zoella, on the other hand, would F R E A K if it was confirmed that Evelyn liked Pablo. She sees Evelyn as a threat, and it's too O B V I O U S.
I like to think that Evelyn will tell me if she actually ends up liking him, but I can't be sure. I am one of her closest friends at GAIS.
"Alexa?" A sharp whisper echoes in my ear. I turn to find Zoella, leaning back in her seat.
"Zoella, we're in the middle of a quiz! What do you need?" I roll my eyes, even though I wasn't actually focusing on the equations on my sheet of paper.
"We need to talk." She snaps.
"About?"
There's a shuffling of paper as Evelyn stands up to turn in her quiz, she does an extra-curricular math school so she's way ahead of the class. Usually the teacher gives her harder material to work on.
"Her." Zoella eyes Evelyn.
"What about her?" I ask.
"Oh, don't play dumb. You know what I'm talking about." She glares.
"Pablo?" I ask.
"Yeah,"
"She doesn't like him, I told you." I say, turning back to my quiz.
"Alexaaaaa, don't you get it?! She's obviously lying to you!" She taps on my shoulder.
"Zoella, stop!" I tell her, too loudly.
"Girls, what are you doing?!" The teacher demands.
"Uhhhh... Nothing!" We stammer.
"Lunch detention, both of you." She snaps.
"No! I swear I was just borrowing a pe-" Zoella starts, but stops when she's met with a glare. "Fine." She pounts. Then, she's moved across the room, being forced to switch seats with Nikita, so she's sitting next to Pablo, now. Great.

JACOB'S POV

Zoella takes a seat next to Pablo, after she's forced to. Not that she's pissed about it, I bet she's overjoyed. She's just pissed that she has to spend a lunch with Alexa and "Frog Bull" (who runs detentions.) I feel like the person who's in the worst position of this situation is Alexa, who probably didn't do anything and has to spend a lunch with a pair of witches.
We keep working on our quizzes, I can't help noticing Zoella has drawn hearts all over hers. Probably filled with Pablo's name. I roll my eyes. I'm pretty sure she notices, because she glares at me. I see a spark ignite in her eyes for a split-second.
Uh oh, this can't be good. She grins at me evilly, then turns to Pablo.
"Hey, Pablo, I think I need a little bit of help on number 4." She bats her eyes at him. I want to throw up all over that bitch.
"This is a quiz." He states, not looking up.
"Pleaseeeee? For meeeeee?" She pounts.
"No." I can tell he's glaring down at the table.
"Pablo, I'm going to need to see you in lunch detention, as well."
My eyes widen, I turn to see the rest of the class looks the same. Pablo turns bright red and turns to Zoella looking like he wants to punch her in the face. He knows there's no use trying to get out of detention, so he just turns to me, looking hella pissed.
He's stuck in detention with the two girls in our grade he dislikes the most, mostly cuz he's scared of them, and the worst teacher we have. Plus, he's never gotten a detention before. He's usually considered the star student, the role model.
"Zoella, you are such an asshole." I snap at her as I get up at the end of class.
Everyone files out but Pablo, Zoella, and Alexa.
"Good luck!" Evelyn, Nikita, and I whisper to Pablo as we turn out the door.

PABLO'S POV

I didn't ever expect that I'd get detention. At least, not for something this stupid. Usually, when Zoella tries one of her shenanigans on me, I suck it up and ignore it, but this time she's gone too far. I don't want to see her or talk to her, let alone be stuck in detention with her. Plus, Alexa's here which makes it kind of awkward because she and Zoella are constantly fighting over me.
I don't want to have to deal with these two, anymore. I just wish that girls would stop fawning over me. I'm boring, I'm not anything special. I'm exactly the same as the rest of the guys in the grade. I feel like they should all just fall for Jacob, or something. He's better looking than me, in my opinion. He's funnier, he's more interesting to be around. So why me?
Frau Bögl files in and allows us to go out and get our lunches. I jog to the lockers, exercise helps me clear my mind most times.
I'm the first to get back to the class. I take a seat in the second row of desks.
A few seconds later, Alexa files in, Zoella close behind. They take a seat in the third row.
We eat our lunches silently, but I can hear the scribble of Zoella and Alexa passing notes to each other.
Eventually, Frau Bögl breaks the silence. "Pablo, can you come over here?" I get up and walk over to her, scared of what she's going to say. Frau Bögl is kind of unpredictable.
"How did you wind up having to be in detention?" She asks me in German.
"Uh, Zoella was talking to be during a quiz, ma'am."I tell her, in German.
"You can go, and I won't mark it anywhere or tell your parents." She tells me.
"Thank you ma'am!" I rush to my seat to clean up my stuff from lunch before she can change her mind, then I get the hell out of that awkward detention. I wonder howFrau Bögl actually believed my side of the story, considering she completely ADORES Zoella.
