[Jake's POV]

I watched her retreating figure, realising this was the second time she'd run away from me. "Well, bye..." I mumbled to no one in particular. As I bent down to retrieve a fallen book I caught the sight of Will leaning against a wall watching me intently. Pretended not to notice, I gathered my books, slung my laptop over my shoulder and slammed my locker shut. I hoped he wouldn't notice me as I walked past him, but my hoping was in vain as he jumped up next to me.

"So..." He began as he quickened his pace to match mine. "I've noticed...you and Fey seem....different"

"Will, what do you want?" I said through gritted teeth, wanting this to be over as soon as possible.

"Well, there are many things I want, and one of them just happens to be Fey..." I stiffened next to him and he smiled in recognition. "That's what I thought...you like her." It wasn't a question, it was a statement. Whether it was true or not, not even I knew yet.

"No...." I attempted to sound nonchalant but he ignored my answer altogether.

"The question is, how does she feel about you?" He smiled cruelly. "But of course, that doesn't matter, because soon she'll be mine."

"Will, she hates you." I said uncertainly, remembering their exchange earlier that morning.

"You'll see, you'll see." Were his parting words as he walked away, leaving a million thoughts buzzing round my head. What did he mean?! I was only absently aware of the rest of my Home Ec. class around me as we went inside and all I could think of was Will and Fey. What was he going to do?

[Fey's POV]

I tried to lose myself in ITD, sawing, drilling, sanding and hammering, but all I could think of was Jake. I wondered how he was, what he thinking and if he was thinking of me; I was so unfocused, some girl had to be taken to the hospital with a swollen thumb when my drill had slipped and skewered her hand. After I had done apologising to her mother, the ambulance officials and the teacher, I was late for double maths. I just hoped Grumpy-Bottom wouldn't notice me climbing in through the window.
