To Protect Each Other ~ A Haleb Story

History Class

Hanna's POV...

"Right class, today's going to be a slightly different lesson. We actually have Mr. Fitz back for the lesson. I'm not going to be teaching you today so Mr. Fitz will explain everything once in a moment. You're going to need to be in groups of five, at least for this project" I looked around the room we were sat in for our history class to see four people that I am definitely going with - Aria, Caleb, Alison and Toby - for this so called 'project'. The teacher continued, "Be nice to Mr. Fitz, please. He's only here for today so don't rude as usual. Bye." She said and strutted off with the sound of her heals echoing behind her.

"So, for those who don't remember me, my name is Mr. Fitz and I'll be taking your lesson for today and today only." He began and shot Aria a look which made me laugh inside. "No, I am not a history teacher but I was the last option so here I am. Like Mrs. Tomlinson just said, you'll be in groups of at least five, but I suggest you don't go any higher than seven per group. Your seniors, so I'm trusting you to group yourselves with others of similar abilities and targets for history." He took a seat next at the desk to continue speaking, "Your task is to create a plan for a medieval Castle or Palace. I think a Castle would be easier to work with because we have lots of examples on the internet etc.-"

"So we can use our phones?" A blonde boy asked from behind me.

"Well, to be honest, I'm most likely not going to be here again, so technically they can't fire me so go for it. But if Principle Hackett comes in the room, just put them away for the time being. Spread yourselves out so you're not all huddled in one corner and stay with your respected groups. There's paper on five desks situated around the room so play nice and just one group per table. Off you go." He finally finished. I got up and walked over to my friends, which immediately turned upside down when Ali and Caleb realised they were in the same group.

"Okay, no." Caleb said.

"I can't work with him." Alison said.

"Then go." I said to both of them while looking through google of pictures of Disney princess castles.

"No." Caleb said. "Alison, you go, everyone would practically do anything to be in the same group as you."

"Thanks." She then replied with a bitchy smile.

"It wasn't a compliment." Caleb snarked. That's my Caleb. I thought and giggled, putting my phone on the table with Beauty and the Beast's Castle on the screen. "I'm here for everybody but you so I don't see why I should leave." Oh my god, grow up.

"Right, lets do a vote." I suggested. "Whoever gets the least votes, can go with Spencer's group over there."

"I didn't even know she was here." Toby realised.

"That's because she's too buried in books to be seen." I muttered, "All those for Caleb, raise your hands." I said. I raised my hand along with Toby and Aria just turned away, obviously wanting Ali to stay. "Sorry Ali, off you go to smart-ass table." She huffed and began walking away.

"I'll get you back for that." She said into Caleb's ear, making his eyes widen. She slumped in the chair next to Spencer and she gave us a glare to say 'why is she here?'

"Hanna, you've got to be kidding me." Aria said, picking up my phone and investigating the beautiful castle on the screen. I looked over at her with an innocent look on my face.

"What?"

"A freaking Disney castle isn't exactly medieval, is it?"

"Well it's not modern day so that's good enough for me. Why don't you go ask Mr. Hottie Teacher over there if we can use it?" I said in an overly seductive voice which made the boys roll their eyes. As I finished speaking, Aria walked over to Ezra's desk, swinging her hips subtly with my phone in her hand. "I was kidding you dumbass." I called after her.
