Chapter 6 

"Hey." Rian whispered.

Eliza smiled as if to say hey back, she didn't want to get in trouble by the art teacher.

"Good morning class. We're going to carry on with yesterdays lesson. If you could all get into groups of 3 or 4, then come and get a book off of my table then we'll go from there!"

Alex turned to Eliza.

"Wanna be in a group with me and Rian?"

"yeah alright. I'll just go and get a book." she looked at the front cover. It had a picture on it that looked really old.

Everyone in the class were sitting in groups and had a book about 5 minutes later.

"As you can all see, each of those books is about a famous artist. In your groups I would like you all to create a photo timeline about the artist. This will be homework, so you'll have to meet up with your groups outside of school."

Eliza rolled her eyes.

She hated history, and was there anything more boring than history on artist? Eliza didn't think so!

The class became louder as everyone talked about the homework. Eliza turned her body around so that she was sitting a small circle with Alex and Rian.

"Meet at my house tonight 4ish? and we can get it over and done with." Alex said to Rian and I.

"Miss.. When is it due?" Rian called while putting his hand up.

"the 17th. Next Friday." she smiled.

"Picasso.." Alex began. "what I weird name!" he looked down at the book.

Eliza flicked through some of the pages with Alex and Rian both looking at the pages.

He was a very... Ah, Different kind of artist, very imaginative! Eliza thought to herself.

The teacher coughed.

"Class settle down. We're not here to chat we're here to get some work done." she growled.

She turned to the board and started to write stuff down.

"copy this into your books."

The lesson finished with everyone watching a few slides of a PowerPoint on the projector.

Picking up her books and heading to music Alex said.

"see you at lunch." and winked at her.

"see ya!" she called over to Alex and Rian as they were going a different way to her.

She walked in the room and found Jack already there.

"Hey!" he smiled as she say next to him.

"Hey." she replied.

"talked to Alex today?" he winked.

"I just had art with him and Rian. We have to work on a project together."

The bell rang and the teacher walked in.

"morning class." he smiled.

Were all of her teachers so nice? She was prone to getting a mean one soon!

****

The lesson went really quickly.

She made her way down the stairs to the canteen. No one pushed her today so she was happy about that!

"hey Eliza!" she turned around to see Kaitlyn there."I see you've made good friends with Jack, Alex and Rian." she continued smiling.

Lining up at the canteen to get lunch Kaitlyn waited with her.

"you need to be careful." she said.

"Why?" Eliza asked looking confused.

"Just be careful around Alex. I know he seems like the nicest guy ever right?"

"yeah. Where are you going with this?"

"he.. Ah.. How should I put this?... He's known as a man slut/ manhore at this school." she confessed.

"what are you doing tonight?" Kaitlyn asked changing the subject.

"I have art homework." Eliza pouted.

"oh is that were you have to make a timeline thing on a famous artist?" she asked.

"yep!" she sighed.

"i had to do that 2 weeks ago! who are you in a group with?"

"Rian and Alex."

"oh.." she trailed off.

"can I ask you something?" Eliza asked while grabbing her food from the canteen.

"go for it!" Kaitlyn smiled.

"do you and Alex have a history?" She paused, looking like she didn't want to answer.

They sat down at a table and Eliza began eating her pasta she had just ordered.

"when I was in year 8 I liked him for ages. I watched him go from girl to girl nearly every 2 months. I've only ever been friends with him.. Well not really even that, he ignores me..

But most of the girls at this school hate him because he broke their heart by cheating on them."

Eliza took another bite of her food.

"I've heard people talk in the halls and you're the new gossip Eliza." she said looking worried.

"they all think you're next."  

Was it really a bad thing to be next? Eliza wasn't sure, she was shocked at this tho. Alex seemed like such a nice guy, it was a shame.
