“So is he now going to sit here like always?” Drake asks. I shrug my shoulder and start solving the problem Professor gave us yesterday. I was absent-minded so I barely knew how to do it. Drake helped me and I understood the concept.
Today Liam is again sitting with us. It's kinda awkward though. Drake didn't like it, he keeps on throwing suspicious glances at him. I, on the other hand try to avoid him altogether. I already wasted my yesterday class and I don't want any more wasting especially in studies.
“Good morning class.” We greets professor Green and he starts the lecture without wasting any minute. The class goes smoothly for me considering I already know things about today's topic. He asks students if they have any queries and some students responds with a nod and he helps them. Liam and I barely started doing project so we don't have any much problem.
“Hey how's your partner Hailee?” I ask. Drake looks behind him and then leans on me. He makes a sound at the back of his throat.
“Huh?” I furrow my eyebrows.
“Means she is okay. I mean man she is so loud and jumpy. I am not saying this is a bad thing but sometimes it went a little over board. Like a few days back we went to my apartment for project. We were doing it when Alex came around thirty minutes later and oh god once Hailee saw him. She wouldn't even stop gushing about my brother. I have to listen how smart, dashing, hot, blah blah blah my brother is and she was so loud and yelling in excitement, throwing lustful and puppy eyes at him. Alex obviously heard her and for the first time he is afraid of some girl.”
I burst out in laughing, hearing him and Drake heavily sighs, leaning on his chair.
“Gosh this is so funny. I only met Alex one time but I can clearly imagine his face in my mind.” I snort. Drake half smiles.
“Anyway he is missing you. He forgot your name and said oh Drako I miss that girl who blushes easily.” And surely I blush at this. Gosh what is wrong with me?
Drake laughs once he sees my face and I hit his arm. I turn my face and look at my side, catching Liam's gaze. He is looking at me and I don't for how long but his stare is intense.
I quickly avert my eyes and look at front.
I don't know why but I just can't do eye contacts. Whenever I look in somebody's eyes—make eye contact with anyone. I feel like they are reading me like they are contemplating my thoughts and they will know everything about me. So I avoid eye contact as much I can and looking at Liam's eyes feel like that—as if he is figuring me out with his stare.

“We should go to the mall.”“We always says that and never go there.” Julia huffs and I look at her. Well she isn't wrong. There were countless time we planned to go to mall and never go there instead ended up hanging out in our apartment.
