"He's not obsessed with me, Payne. Shut up."

"Woah, relax! Take it easy there, K-Dog."

"What the-Don't call me that!"

By this point, people have begun to stare. Some snicker, some are filming, some are just amused by the whole situation.

I quickly glance over to where Simon's table was, to see if he was watching and was going to do something about it.

Which he wasn't.

"Alright you two, enough!" Tobi exclaims as he pushes each person with his arm back down into their seat. Ethan and Kayleigh were ready to rip our each other's throats over something so small.

Vik was watching.

I saw a minimal amount of blush spread over his cheeks. Harry pokes his side as Vik shakes his head, returning from his zone out.

As soon as he spots me looking, hks eyes widen and he turns away as I do the same.

The bickering continues as I hear heavy footsteps approaching our table.

Too focused to even look, I carry on helping Tobi stop the two before two hands hit the table.

"Is there a problem?"

I look up to see Simon glaring between Ethan and Kay.

"N-No-" Kay begins to stutter out, suddenly calming down.

"No, there isnt, so if you can kindly go back to your seat, we can sort this out, thank you." I reply as Simon watches me.

Momenta of suspence silence pass before he smirks, his tall figure towering down at me.

"You're brave, new girl." He shakes his head before walking off to his seat.

-------

"I'm back! Sorry, I got a bit too..carried away." Miss smiles at us, but there's a since of strange uncertainty in her voice. I wonder whether that's the truth and if the man who was standing at her doorway, leading her here, had anything to do with the truth.

I look over at Tobi. He shakes his head and returns to writing.

Watching the rest of the class, I noticed Vik staring at Kay once more before he ripped a corner of a paper from his textbook, quickly wrote something on it and aimed it at Kay.

He throws the small ball to her, barely reaching the edge of the table, then swiftly looks around to see if anyone's noticed.

He catches my eye contact and hold it for several seconds and looks down as I smirk.

Young love can do wonders..

I elbow Kay and nod towards the paper as she notices it, unwraps it, and smiles, quickly nodding at Vik (who was once more, staring in her direction).

I reach over to read it from above Kay's shoulder.

Thanks for what you did, it means a tonne. Meet me near the columns at break, got things to say.

I can't help but mentally 'aw' at what he said. It may be simple, but it's sure as hell effective.

"Wonder what he's gonna say.." Kay ponders over the note as I playfully roll my eyes.

"Kinda obvious, mate."

She gives me a questioning look but all I do is shirt my shoulders in return.

-------

The bell soon rings as everyone begins to pack up. I notice that Ethan has been quieter, either because of Kay, the teacher walking in, or Simon giving him death glares every so often.

What's his problem, I guess I'll never know.

I sling the straps of my black bag over my shoulder.

"Hey!" I hear Ethan say towards my direction. "Is that the Sidemen bag? Didn't know you watch them!"

"Yeah, they're pretty cool. Hopefully, I can go to one of their Charity Matches soon."

"Do you play football?"

"Yeah, but the problem is, I'm shit."

"I can teach you.." Suggests Ethan as he rubs his upper arm and looks down.

"Ethan, stop getting your flirt game on. You have girlfriend." Tobi laughs from behind us.

"Didn't know you had a girlfriend." I saw, amused.

Well, obviously you didn't, you met him two lessons ago.

"Yeah, Simon." Tobi makes a remark.

"Oh, shut up!" Ethan says, quieter than usual. "Don't say that! Not around him anyway.."

-------

We head out the class and I see Kay walk off to whichever period we have next, Village following closely behind.

Ethan leans onto the wall beside Tobi, but as soon as he sees Simon and JJ in the doorway, he instanl moves himself away to act like he has nothing to do with him.

I begin to feel bad for Ethan, knowing that acting like this and being manipulated by Simon and everyone else's judgement was in now way going to being him good in life.

I start to walk over to Tobi, who was now also walking away, but a familiar hand on my elbow stops me from doing so.

I swiftly turn around to see a very unforgettable face holding me back.

I stare into Simon's eyes, not knowing what to expect at this moment, as he leans in to say something into my ear.

"Mess with my friend again, and I'll kill you."
