Long story short I did send him the economics homework as soon as I finished it but not after denying about my crush on Zeke for more than an hour with Nicky. 

As I was getting ready for school, the doorbell rang and my mom ushered in Nicky after trying to get him eat 3 sandwiches at once and told him that I'd be in my room. (I could hear all this from my room)

Just as I was doing the "Pant dance" to get into my pants he walked into my room without knocking to find me mid-dance only in a sports bra singing "Blood sweat and tears" with utter sincerity. Obviously I screamed and let out string of curses and practically tried to murder him with my school belt.

I slammed my door shut and screamed "Why couldn't you knock on the door you stupid idiot?!"

"How was I supposed to know that you were changing?" he defended.

I sighed and continued struggling with my pants and finally when I was done I walked out into the living room to find Nicky playing with my sister who was giggling and sitting on his lap.

I rolled my eyes and went into the kitchen to grab some breakfast (yeah, I have breakfast in the morning everyday unlike some people)

Once I finished having my breakfast I went into my room, grabbed my stuff for school and made my way to the door when Nicky pulled my bag from behind (seriously what is up with people and pulling my bag in this school!) "Hey, hey wait up for me so eager to meet 'Zerena' or should I say... Zeke?" he said giving me a smug smile.

"Yup! I'm extremely excited to meet Zeke and tell him how much in love you are with him. You include his name in practically every sentence you speak."

I was happy to see the smug smile turn into a scowl at the speed of light.

Honestly these people who invent or discover dumb things should be brutally murdered or die a torturous death.

Who in the name of god asked bloody Henri Fayol to observe some innocent factory workers and invent some goddamned principles based on that and torture poor 16-year olds 93 years after he died! (yeah, I just went and searched that online so...)

"Ouch!" I exclaimed as a pencil hit my head and rolled onto my lap. I looked around to find Nicky smirking at me and wiggling his eyebrows. He mouthed "Who are you dreaming about?... Zeke?"

To which I just rolled my eyes and continued thinking about the useless theories of Henri Fayol.

When yet again I was disturbed with a crumpled-up paper ball smacking my arm.

I turned and saw Nicky gesturing me open the paper ball. I sighed and opened it to find a crudely drawn image of a girl and guy sitting on a tree... smooching.

Towards the girl an arrow was drawn to with "Krystal" written and "Zeke" pointing towards the guy. And below that was scrawled on "Krystal and Zeke sitting on a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G".

I tore the paper and stuffed it inside my desk and took out a piece of paper and wrote "Feeling jealous that I'm the one kissing Zeke?"

And threw it back at him or at least tried to when my sense of aim betrayed me and the paper flew and landed directly on the table of Samuel freaking Smith.

Unfortunately for me he was sitting right next to Nicky who seemed extremely amused with the happenings around him. I groaned as Samuel squinted at the paper ball as if an alien was sprouting out of it and gingerly opened it.


I turned my head and sat shaking my leg desperately hoping he wouldn't understand that it was my note. But something unexpected happened, Samuel read the note and turned towards Nicky and blushed yeah, wasn't expecting that.

Nicky saw this and looked at me with a puzzled expression, I shrugged and continued reading my textbook.


The class ended after around 10 minutes as I almost reached the point where I would voluntarily time travel and poison Henri Fayol (seriously who the heck spells "Henry" with an "i"?).

I was walking along the corridor slowly munching on the bag of chips searching for someone to chat with when of course I had to bump into Nicky who as usual was flirting with some girls.

"Ooo Chips!" saying this he grabbed the packet right out of my hands and, Oh the horror he ate a handful of my... MY chips.

"KRYSTAL DOESN'T SHARE FOOOD!!" (if you got that reference i.love.you.) saying this I grabbed his ear and twisted it. (hey I can be violent when I need to)


Still pulling his ear I dragged him to the canteen with him letting out a string of curses and feebly attempting to free himself.

Once I reached the canteen I let him go and said, "Okay you have one chance to undo the horrifying sin that you've committed." Gesturing towards the numerous amounts of chips packets neatly arranged on the shelves inside the canteen I said, "Buy me the Ketchup flavoured chips... its my favourite"

I know you think I may have over-reacted a wee bit but if I didn't, people would run all over me and I might end up starving for the rest of my life.

Okay, okay I tend to exaggerate but some things, you gotta nip it right at the bud.


Nicky eventually bought it after I threatened to kick his treasured parts. So after buying it we both walked towards the group of girls he was flirting with and I kinda just moved along wondering where in the world Soph and Abby were.

I was too engrossed in digging out the tiny pieces of chips still stuck at the bottom that I didn't notice someone standing in front of me that I bumped right into them.

I looked up to find Megan leeched onto Liam? WHAT?! How could she not tell me!

Of course, I did the sanest thing by gasping and shoving myself in between the two and grabbing Liam's neck.
