Infatuation

Nayla and Lena watched him storm out, wide grind plastered to their content faces.

Nayla rolled her eyes at Luca's squad, unable to hold her laughter in any longer. She looked to her right to find that Lena was literally falling out of her seat whilst she shook with laugher.

"Miss Junes and Miss D'troia, stop disrupting the class. Miss Junes, principal's office now!"

Nayla and Lena immediately became serious, sending daggers at their teacher

"Sir, it wasn't her fault-" Lena was cut off by their teacher

"I said to the principal, Nayla" she got up, making sure the teacher didn't miss the dirty looks that she was giving him. She smiled weakly at Lena before slamming the door.

She knocked on the office door, when she was told to come in her eyes immediately drifted towards Luca who was seated in one of the two chairs that were placed on the opposite side of the principal.

She couldn't help but smirk when she noticed the slight repositioning of his nose which was under a bandage. That was until until she saw the disappointed look on the principals face, along with Luca's clenched fists

"Take a seat Nayla," Nayla sat down, attempting to stay as far away from Luca as possible. She could practically feel his intense stare

"I understand you had a fall out with Mr Giovanni-Byrne, I would like you to explain what happened" She had to stop myself from kissing my teeth by taking a deep breath.

"Well sir, during history he walked in late. He then looked around the classroom before deciding to sit behind me, despite the numerous empty seats," Nayla looked over at Luca and rolled her eyes

"He started breathing very heavily, which got on my nerves so I politely turned around and asked him to not breathe as loudly. He retaliate by telling me he has asthma, and I was more that willing to apologize for being inconsiderate until he mimicked me, threatened me and talked about my dead mother"

She breathed all if this out without taking a break. He body visibly shook with anger

"So I spat in his face and punched his nose," she shrugged casually, finally calm

"I understand why you are mad Miss Junes, but you must contain your anger. I am afraid that I still have to discipline you, you will have a week's worth of detention along side Luca here" he gestured towards Luca, she kissed her teeth whilst Luca looked at his watch

"During this time you will iron it out differences, I am not asking you to be friends I am asking you to be civil. Do you understand me?" they both mumbled a 'yes sir'

"Let us begin the process, Mr Giovanni-Byrne apologize to Miss Junes" the principal immediately shut down Luca's attempts at arguing "Now!"

He turned to Nayla "I'm sorry," the afro-carribean inside of her couldn't accept the half-assed apology, she turned to him and raised an eyebrow "For?"

He looked taken aback by her question, almost as if he was confused by her sudden burst of confidence. He audibly sighed, looking frustrated. "I'm sorry for mimicking you" he paused as he noticed she was using her fingers to count his 3 offenses, currently one of those three fingers were down

"and... " she waved my hand expectedly, he rubbed his veined hand on the back of his neck "And threatening you," two fingers down "And talking about your mom"

Nayla could have sworn his shoulders visibly relaxed when she nodded approvingly. "I guess I'm sorry for punching you and spitting in your face," she couldn't help it smile ever so slightly.

Nayla put out her hand, he seemed shocked before extending his own hand to meet hers. As she felt his large - partially smooth - hand touch her small callused palm, she shivered - undoubtedly surprised at the softness of his palm; it was almost as if he hadn't done a day of hard work in his life. She would say she felt sparks upon contact, but let's be honest that crap doesn't actually happen - all she know for sure is that I was slightly ashamed at the roughness of her own hand compared to his soft feathery feel

She stood up and apologized to the principal for wasting his time. She then turned around and faced Luca before she opened the office door "See you after school" she waved slightly and winked at him before opening the door and walking out, completely forgetting they were returning to the same classroom for the rest of the lesson.

She walked back into the classroom kissing her teeth and rolling her eyes at all the eager student who were watching her curiously. She smiled at Lena as she watched her visibly struggle to contain her laughter, the girl was bright red and she had tears rolling down her face.

Nayla sat back down in her seat and recited to Lena what happened in the principal's office. She was laughing uncontrollably despite their teachers constant reminders to shut up.

The both of them ended up having to sit outside for 15 minutes, due to Lena practically rolling out of  seats when Nayla told her about the whole winking scenario

That was until they heard a deep chuckle sounding from across the hallway, Nayla instantly froze whilst Lena was ending daggers at her least favourite cousin.

"Come here" Nayla looked at him weirdly until shr finally realized he was talking to her whilst dismissing Lena with his other hand.

Nayla had decided that she would kill Lena for leaving her with him.

Nayla honestly couldn't remember walking towards him, now here she was trapped between his arms after he had pushed her against the lockers. She could feel his hot minty breath fanning against her neck, she couldn't help but bite her lip nervously as his 6'3 figure towered above her.

He leaned in and nipped at her neck for a few seconds, resulting in her accidental moan when he pulled away. "Don't ever embarrass me again" that's all he said before walking away, leave Nayla dumbfounded.
