Literature is not my best subject. I didn't like the fact that I can't prove anything in it with math.

"Please read p.394 and p.395. And you'll also have to write 3 pages about classic literature, and also write a whole page explaining 4 of the most common literary devices and how to use them" Our teacher said.

The bell rang.. Finally, a break.

I went straight to the cafeteria, looking for Rose and Nathan. And of course, I found them sitting at our usual table.

I went there and sat beside them, and put my head on the table. I have a massive headache.

"Are you alright Vi?" Nathan asked while Rose stroke my hair.

"I didn't sleep well.. and I have a very bad headache" I said bringing my head from the table and fixing my hair.

"Do you want some pain killers?" Rose offered me some, and of course, I took them.

"Hey sugar, whatcha doin'" Phoenix came out of nowhere along with Asher and Dylan. He gave me a side hug and kept his arm on my shoulder while Asher was eating my food, and Dylan having a conversation with Nathan.

Rose gave me a questioning look, I can almost hear her her thoughts. Oh My god Violet, why does he have his arms around you, and why does he keep calling you sugar?

I still haven't told her about my deal with Phoenix, I ended up agreeing to tutor him and him helping me with my bucket list.

I have a lot to say to Rose and Nathan.

"So, today after school.. your house or mine?" Phoenix asked referring to our deal, but of course, my stupid friends took that wrong. I took a quick glance at their faces.

Rose almost fell from her chair and Nathan dropped his apple.

I gave them a blank look "He means tutoring"

"And my house is fine, Phoenix" I told him.

"Your house it is, sugar" he said and gave me one of his famous smirks, at this point probably half of the students in the cafeteria were looking at Phoenix and I. Including Erica.

I don't know what her problem is, but she has a serious obsession with ruining my life.

"So sugar, I don't know what your name is.. and Phoebe right here won't let me call you sugar, so what's your name?" Asher asked me, and Dylan laughed agreeing with him.

"Who's Phoebe?" I asked.

"Oh, we call Phoenix Phoebe because sometimes he can be such a girl" Dylan said and they both laughed harder. and Phoenix just glared at them.

"Well, my name's Violet" I said smiling and blushing a little bit. I hope no one saw that. Phoenix won't let anyone call me sugar?

"Violet, what a pretty name for such a beautiful girl like you" Asher told me and gave me one of these crooked smirks.

"Asher stop you're scaring her" Phoenix said, a little bit of irritation in his voice.

"Why would I scare her?"

"Because you're hideous"

Everyone laughed at that, and Asher rolled his eyes.

We kept talking for a little bit until the bell rang, "What do you have next?" Phoenix asked me. "Chemistry" I replied.

"Oh, I have Biology. they're right next to each other" He said getting up, waiting for me to get up. "So?" I asked dumbfounded.

"So, I'll be a good friend and walk with you to your class"
