*Thursday Morning
Riiing
I walk with Lydia to English. "Hey, Mads. Y'know I'm partners with Harley?" She asks. I roll my eyes, "Yeah. You never stop yammering on about him, Lyds"
A smile beams across her face. "Well...we're really getting on. He's so bad but he's so cute, and charming and sweet and-" I interrupt her, snapping my fingers in front of her face. "Lydia, snap out of it...you're drooling" I say sarcastically and we both laugh.
We get to class and I go to take a seat next to Lyds.
"Miss Blake, Miss Mathews, we're sitting in our partners again today" Mrs Chambers says as we sit down. I get back up and head over to Chandler, who is sitting in the back corner again, this time he has his hood up.
"Hey Chandler" he ignores me. "You okay?" I ask, concerned. "I'm fine" he says bluntly. He avoids eye contact with me, I can't really see his face anyway with his hood up.

As class ends, I rush after Chandler who has already darted out of the classroom, eager to know what is up with him.
"Chandler?!" I yell. "Chandler?" I say again beginning to catch up with him. "Chandler!" I yell one final time, I am now right behind him. I yank his hood down, causing him to stop in his tracks. Still facing away from me.
"Chandler, look at me for fucks sake" I say, placing my hand on his shoulder and whipping him around to face me.
My mouth drops open slightly as I am now faced with a bright, red mark on his cheek, with what looks like blood residue.
He sees the look on my face and immediately turns around and begins walking away from me.
"No, Chandler wait! What happened to you?" I call to him. He ignores me.

*Friday
School has just finished and I'm walking home. I look across the street and notice Chandler.
I approach him from behind. "Chandler" I say sympathetically. "What!" He aggressively replies as he turn around to face me. My eyes widen.
"Chandler, I -uhh. Please, just... talk to me" I try and say calmly. "No, it's none of your business!" He hisses and clenches his fists.
I've never seen him like this, he's always so shy.
"Chandler, please. It is kinda my business. The aim of our project is to get to know each other" I say looking down.
"Speaking of which, we said we'd continue the project today" I remind him. He deeply sighs and rolls his eyes. "Fine, we'll do the project round my house this time" and he begins to lead me to his house.

I hope the story is okay so far. Please let me know if you're enjoying it.
Btw I don't know if you noticed that in this chapter I mentioned the surname I have chosen for Lydia. Credit to LadyD on QuizUp for suggesting the name Lydia Mathews. Thank you.
