Sophie's POV:

Beep. Beep. Beep. The dreaded alarm sounds and I drag myself out of my bed into the cold winter air. I really can't be bothered for school today. It's going to be awkward and I'm just kind of nervous.

I have a quick shower and shove on some random clothes. I don't really want to wear something nice today, I'd just rather be in a pair of jeans and a hoodie.

"Sophie! Get your lazy ass down here!" George yells from downstairs

"Sophie! Get your lazy ass down here!" George yells from downstairs. I forgot he was dropping me to school.
"Alright, I'm coming. Chill out." I say as I run down the stairs. He glares at me and I just laugh.
"Not in the mood."
"Where's fun George at?" I pout.
"Broken." He mutters and opens the door. I look at him but he's already out the door. I wave goodbye to mum and James and run after him.

I buckle my seat belt and the rest of the car journey is spent in silence. I can tell something's wrong but I don't want to make it worse by asking.
"We are here." His voice is quiet as he tells me.
"Thanks. And hey, whatever is wrong, it'll get better."
"Doubt it."
"Love you." I smile, trying to lighten the mood.
"Love you too." I shut the door and walk into the building. I walk all the way to the Art Block to my tutor. I'm greeted by smiles when I walk in. I see that Ethan isn't here yet and breathe a sigh of relief. It's not that I don't want to see him, I'm just scared.

"Thinking of me again?" I hear someone ask from behind me. I spin around and met by Ethan's smirk.
"No. Shut up." I blush.
"Ooooo." I hear Josh call out. I turn and glare at him and he holds his hands up in a surrender.
"Shut up Josh." I mutter.
"What? You two are a cute couple." He fires back.
"Just friends." Ethan corrects him.
