Ms.Gowan continued her lesson about the new inventions and Lia was dying to leave. With Ace constantly staring at her she felt small and uncomfortable. Lia grazed her finger on her paper and a small paper cut formed.
Lia hissed and watched the little blood pour out. "Here let me see," Ace asked but it was more of an order making Lia confused as ever.
She slowly showed Ace her paper cut and he simply used tissue and covered it. Then he gave her kisses over her little finger making Lia blush uncontrollably. "U-um Ace?" She whispers making Ace look up at her. "I-I think it's all good now." She smiles softly as she snatched her finger out of his grasp.
That only made Ace mad but he couldn't say anything. The bell ranged shortly and Lia smiled as she hoped she would make a friend in her next class. "Wait." Ace calls out for her making her confused but she did as he said and waited. "Can I walk you to your next class?" Ace asked.
Lia felt uncomfortable once again but nodded her head with a smile. She gave Ace her schedule making Ace give her a small smile. "Mathematics." He mumbled as he started walking, Lia trailing behind him.
He took long big steps making Lia huffed in annoyance as she couldn't keep up with him. Ace noticed her actions making him smile and he began taking smaller steps. "Oh, you should wash that cut first." Lia was more shocked as he grabbed her hand. She struggles a bit but complied and let him take her to the restroom.
Ace said he would wait outside and Lia was more than happy to have some space from him. She washed her little cut, slightly wincing at the pain but she ignored it. Her eyes wield up for a second but she only walked outside and placed a bandage on her finger she kept in her bag for emergency.
"Ready?" Ace asks as he glances at her finger. Softly smiling at the bandage. She nodded her head and they began walking. He held her wrist in his hand only making her more confused. It was weird. This tall maybe around six footboy was holding hands with a girl who was nowhere near his size. To most, it looked like they were merely siblings.
Lia looked around noticing all eyes on them making Lia more confused. She began playing with her backpack strings and they soon stopped at a class labeled math. Ace turned around and let her hand go. She looked up at him and studied him.
He was beautiful in her eyes. He sure is pretty. She thought but giggled at the thought. "What's funny ?" Ace smiles at her and runs a finger on his shaved chin. Lia squeaked out a nothing and shifted on her feet, avoiding eye contact.
Ace used his hands to turn her face completely to his, giving her cheeks a little squeeze. "Come on, tell me what was funny ."
Lia stuttered a bit but answered. "Well it's just you're really pretty b-but boys aren't called pretty ." She mumbles as she feels her cheeks rise with redness. Ace watched her for a couple of seconds before laughing deeply and letting her go. She stumbled a bit before looking at him.
"You're so cute. Wait for me here okay?" He says with a few more chuckles only making Lia more embarrassed. She nodded shyly and headed into the classroom.
There weren't many students in making her relax more. She walked up to a man who was reading a book. He looked into the book. "H-hello sir I'm Lia Andrews." She speaks and then the man looked up at her through his glasses.
"Oh, princess Lia. You don't have to do any introductions just take your seat anywhere." He smiles gently and Lia silently groaned. Did everyone know I was a princess? Why can't I just be a normal teenager?
"Thank you." She said as she took a seat in the front. She sighed as she felt her tummy growl. She forgot to eat this morning ... too excited for school.
The bell soon ranged shortly and students start to pour in making Lia look at all the students coming in. "Hey you there." Lia's ears perk up as she looks up at the voice. "My seat, move." A girl says as she has a smug look on her face.
Lia only blushed as she got up and sat in the open seat behind her. The girl sat sloppily in the chair and instantly went to sleep. Lia only looked at the girl and her beautiful dyed hair. Her light blue hair making her so pretty. "Alright students. We have a new student, Lia Andrews please treat her well." The teacher named Mr.Clark says with a smile.
Lia only nodded slowly and Mr. Clark started his lesson. Then the seat next to her was taken. She looks up and sees a boy with blue eyes and blonde hair. "Hey, cutie." He smirks.
Lia blushed as she slightly nodded her head. "Hello ." The boy looked her over and liked what he saw. He picked a strand of her hair and touched it softly. "Um..?"
"I'm sorry. Your hair is beautiful. My name Penn." He smiles as he lets her hair go. "Wanna have a quickie new girl?" His smirk growing and Lia only frowned her brows as she didn't understand what Penn was asking of her.
Lia blushed from embarrassment and thought for a second. Quickie... Was that a game normal teenagers like to play? "O-okay, I'd love to play!" She smiles as she sits more properly in the chair she was in. Swinging her legs softly.
Penn raised his brow and laid his arm on the desk. "Play? Oh, so you're kinky? I do love those types of women." Lia frowned once again before she heard a slam making the class quiet and Mr.Clark stopping his lesson.
"Seriously Penn? Leave the child alone and fuck off." Lia's eyes widened as she heard the bad word. Penn glares at the girl before getting up and getting back to his seat. Lia felt saddened as she thought she did something wrong.
"Carson please language. Let's continue the lesson." The girl named Carson scowled before dropping her head back down. Lia only smiled as her full attention was on Mr.Clark.

Minutes later the class was done. Lia was thinking she should talk to Carson, hopefully making her first friend. She looked pretty sketchy but you can't judge a book from its cover right? Lia took nervous steps toward the girl that was still sleeping. Lia poked her not receiving a response. She gave her shoulder a few taps. Carson groans as she moves around in her sleep. "Mom I did the dishes!" Her head rises and Lia giggles at the slobber on her cheek.
"Were you having a good sleep, Carson?" Lia smiled as she watched Carson. Carson shrugged before standing up. "C-Can you tell me what the game Quickie is ?" She asks nervously.
Carson laughed before looking at her. Definitely fucking Innocent. Carson thought. "Like a quick fuck in the janitor's closet." Lia was quiet for a moment before she squealed and covered her ears.
"S-Sex? Oh my." Carson laughed more before ruffling her hair. Lia looked at her moving lips but didn't hear anything before she realized she was still covering her ears. "Sorry, what did you say?"
"I said, nothing newbie. Catch ya later." Carson said as she pulled out her phone and began walking away. Lia only frowns, hoping Carson would be her first friend.
When she stepped outside she saw Ace's body leaning on the lockers. He didn't see her but only played on his phone. She covered her face before walking past him. He chuckles deeply, grabbing her waist and pulling her into his body. "Running away now are we?" He whispers in her ear making Lia's heartbeat rise.
With Ace's hand on her waist, Lia felt safe for some reason but quickly snapped out of it. "N-No I wasn't trying to run away." She says smoothly only making him smile. His breath fanned over her cheek making Lia all bubbly inside.
"Right." He says as he lets her go. She stumbled a bit before regaining her balance. "Your next class?"
