Chapter Seven

Lucianna's Pov.

I couldn’t contain the grin that stretched my lips apart as I sat beside the window.  I turn to glance over my shoulder to Chris but stop myself, scolding my fickle nature. I still however couldn’t stop smiling; he was being sweet after all, confusing but tooth-achingly sweet.

"That's not fair, why didn't you move for me?" Taylor whines which earns her a dark scowl, one which causes her to shut up instantly. Chris turns his head back to the front of the class and says nothing. He's mysterious that much is clear. I mean just yesterday he was cracking grins at Taylor's petty behaviour and now he seemed so annoyed by it you could feel the waves flowing off him in vicious tides.

Roseanne and Bryan walk in hand in hand, bodies close to each other, both smiling at each other. The scene is cute but the jealousy running through me is evident and so strong I have to look away. In my sudden shift in gaze I catch Chris' jaw clench before he reaches into his backpack and pulled out his notebook.

"Lost the seat again Taylor," Bryan teased. His arm is wrapped around Roseanne's waist and he somehow finds a way to pull her closer to his body. She smiles at the gesture and lays her head on his chest.

"Yeah," Taylor mumbled.

Luc struts in with Rico behind him. The two were like a man and his shadow, wherever the one went, the other followed.

"What did Mr Thornton say?" He asked with a smirk touching his lips.

"He says I should tell you to go fuck yourself."

Roseanne, Bryan and Taylor snicker.

"Why fuck myself when I can find someone to do it for me?"

I roll my eyes at that.

"Probably because outsourcing a good fuck must be pretty expensive for you."

It’s Chris that says this and the reaction he gets it stunning. Bryan is laughing his ass off in his chair and the rest of us are gaping at him.

Luc is speechless, which is pretty hard to accomplish, as well as Rico, who always fills the silence whenever Luc finds himself at loss for words.

"Oh shit, how's that burn doing Luc!" Bryan asks still laughing.

Class starts and Mr Forte is blandly explaining a new chapter, no-one is paying attention of course. Chris is hunched over his notebook sketching silently whilst Taylor constantly asks me questions I don't have the answer to.

"Does he like you?" She mouths, I shrug.

I have no idea.

"Do you like him?"

My pulse quickens at this and I turn my head from her trying to formulate an answer but I don't have one so I look back to her and shrug.

"What the fuck does that mean?"

"It means I don't know."

Taylor huffs in her seat rolling her eyes by my lack of knowledge.

By the end of the day I don't know where I stand, mentally or physically. Chris is just too much to fathom and then there's Chad. Damn Chad is everywhere and his only after one thing. I just can't handle him today, on top of that I have those damn clubs and internship on my mind, and his constant pestering isn't helping. I head to the changing rooms and change for hockey. Once done I head for the fields and wait up for the girls, a few gather. Joyce ‒the senior girls’ hockey team captain‒ discusses the warm up and fitness for the day with me and we tell the girls a short summary before we begin. We run around all the fields five times: the hockey fields, rugby fields and soccer fields.  The hockey fields consist of girls only today and the rugby fields and soccer fields consist of only males; which is frustrating when we pass due to the hoots we receive along the way.
