“That's all for today

That's all for today.” Professor Green finishes and everybody start to rush off from class. “And oh yes don't forgot about the project, I guess you guys only have one week now.” with that he walks away from class.

I quickly collect my things and pack my bag, out of the corner of my eye I could see Liam approaching towards me. I panic when I see Drake halfway to the door. He has biology lab today and to get his favorite spot. He is rushing.

Without thinking I call out for him.   “Drake wait.”

He turns towards me and I rush to his side.

He arches his eyebrow at me and I halt. “So um, uh—” I look behind and find Liam lingering there.

“Now it's your zoology or Biology class?” I blurt out.

He looks at me like I have told him earth is flat. “Seriously? Are you okay?” he asks.

“I was just asking, you know.” I shrug. Okay I sound so stupid right now.

“Yes I have Biology. I have already told you.” he says and turns towards his class. Through my peripheral vision I see Liam striding towards me, scared and nervous at the same time. I grab Drake arm causing him to stop going inside his class.

“Hey Drake I was thinking how about I—um come to visit you and Alex?” not sure what I am saying but I know this topic will excite him.

“Really?” he sounds surprised and excited. I nod my head and actually feel bad for using him as my shield because of Liam. I know I ditched him yesterday and he is pissed at me right now. In the class his heavy gaze was on me and I swear at one time, I feel like I will collapse right there. I am scared I don't even know how he will react once he have me alone, through his expression I could tell he wanted to talk to me and I am not at all ready.

I know I have to face him one time. He is my freaking partner but not today. I know he is angry at me and it's not even a whole day. I am just waiting till he may be calm down a little then i would go and apologize. Normally if something like this happened with other person I will quickly go and apologized right when I get the chance but it was only with the other person. This is Liam we are talking about he is just... isn't any other person. I don't even know half of the time what type of a guy he is. Like from the first day I met him he was only rude to me but a few days back we actually laughed together. It was miracle for us because in more than four weeks of knowing him, that was new. So yeah I am scared because I don't know how he will react and if I know him a little, judging by his previous behavior I know he isn't going to let this go that easily.

I focus my attention on what was Drake saying. I just want his help till I get to my Math class from there Amy will be with me and I know Liam wouldn't dare to come at me when I am with someone else. That's why I choose Drake because I have noticed this thing in class and after class that if there's something Liam wanted to say he usually wait till I am alone. So I kinda figured to have Drake walk with me to class because if I say him directly I know he will question me that why all of sudden I wanted a companion and I honestly don't know what to answer. I don't want to look like a coward even though I can be sometimes.
