My right leg crossed over my left as I sat in the front of the prestigious Range Rover, patiently awaiting for us to arrive at the campus.

"Why are you nervous?" Derek's voice spoke, breaking the silence.

"I'm not." I lied as I looked out of the window, avoiding eye contact.

I could no longer lie to him if we were making eye contact. The more I spend with him the harder and harder it gets, and I just recently haven't been able to bring myself to it.

"Your hands are trembling, that only happens when you get anxious. And you're only ever anxious when you're nervous." He spoke as he glanced over at me.

How does he know this?

I uncross my legs and place both my hands between my thighs before speaking.

"You clearly don't know what you're talking about, because I don't get nervous. Besides what is there even for me to be nervous about?"

"Maybe the fact that you've skipped a couple of days and the dean will be on your ass" He suggested as the campus came into a closer proximity.

"Please, that's the least of my worries." I mumbled, knowing that my words had little to no truth to them.

His car pulled into the parking lot causing me to let out a ragged breath of air.

Bitch why are you so nervous get your shit together.

Derek placed his hand on my mid thigh, before rubbing his thumb in small circles against my skin.

Something about his touch caused my nerves and the tension within my body to ease.

"You'll be fine, don't stress yourself out. You're good at getting yourself out of these situations. I'm sure you can figure something out."

I flashed him a faint smile, before hopping out of his car. We both glanced at each other once more before going our different paths.

As I walked back into the premises of the school, my attitude immediately changed from vulnerable to malicious.

I walked through the school doors, passing by many different people before coming across a bathroom. I immediately entered, and began examining my appearance.

My hickeys were unnoticeable, due to the concealer that Derek went out to purchase and my face looked very natural and well cleansed. Overall my face looked fine but my clothing looked horrendous.

The plaid skirt was damn near to my knees, my usually long socks were scrunched up by my ankles, and I was engulfed in Derek's oversized sweatshirt to help cover bruises but all in all it was making me look like an obese leprechaun.

You're Mercedes fucking Marié this is unacceptable.

I immediately rose up my skirt, having it fall just below my upper thigh before pulling up my socks, having them stop right over my knees.

I decided against taking off the sweater since It was keeping me warm and cozy & everyone knows my shape is to die for, even if the sweater is camouflaging it. Plus, my ass looks fairly plump right now, so I still have a figure to flaunt.

I take one last look at myself in the mirror before exiting, and heading straight to 1st period.

Throughout the class period I couldn't find myself to pay much attention, my mind kept going back to the past two days that I spent with Derek and how much he's opened up to me.

The bell rang breaking me from my happy thoughts.

This is new, usually my thoughts are filled with emptiness and depression.

I grab my belongings before exiting my class and making my way to Derek's class.

(Again I don't remember her schedule so I'm just going with the flow)

As I walk into his classroom, his eyes connect with mine and I instantly flash him a sweet smile before making my way up to my seat, feeling his gaze the whole way there.

Genesis soon makes her way into the classroom before sitting next to me.

"Bitch where were you? You always disappear on me." She whispered to me.

"Yea sorry I needed to get away from this place for a while I was starting to feel confined." I responded.

"Oh, well I hope you feel better now." She spoke.

"I do, thanks."

"Oh by the way Luke has been looking for you and some of the secretary ladies stopped by the dorm asking about your whereabouts." She explained before getting cut off by Derek's voice.

He began his lecture, explaining different formulas and different ways to solve for X before getting interrupted by the opening of the door.

A stunningly gorgeous girl walked into the classroom, gaining the attention of everyone.

Damn she's even prettier than me.

Her shirt was a size too little, hugging her curves more and allowing more cleavage to be pushed out a bit more; and her skirt was just a little higher than mine which I didn't even know was possible.

Her dark hair complimented her hazel eyes and olive skin making her look as if she was glowing.

That fucking bitch.

"Mr. Luh this is Aurora, she's new here and will be in you're class." The blonde lady spoke.

Derek's eyes raked her body, before swiping his tongue across his bottom lip.

Jealousy and anger began to rise within me as I witnessed her making googily eyes towards him, and him making them right back.

Yea she's pretty but she's not all that.

"Class say hello to aurora" Derek spoke.

I crossed my arms over one another as I just stared at her contently while the class welcomed her.

I do not like the way he is looking at her.

"Well you can take a seat wherever you'd like" Derek spoke as he pointed towards the seats.

Fucking hell, the only open seat was beside me, and I do not want to be sitting next to that skank.

"Is this seat taken." She asked as she stood next to the open seat beside me.

(Like on the other side of where genesis is sitting)

"It's all yours." I sneered

She sat down in the chair before leaning over and whispering towards me.

"That's our teacher? He's totally hot, you think I could have a shot?" She joked causing me to internally die with irritation.

What the actual fuck makes her think she can speak to me?

"Yea but I'm pretty sure he has a girlfriend." I responded.

"So? I don't see a ring." she laughed.

Fuck she's just like me.

"Your right, you should definitely go for it I mean come on he's totally a Calvin Klein model" I spoke with the fakest most brightest smile I could conjure.

That's when it hit me.

"I'm Mercedes by the way, and I have this weird feeling that we are going to get along just great." I said as she flashed me a smile.

You know what they say.... Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer
