"Alright, Raymond do you know the answer to this question?" Ms. Diva asked the boy next to me.

"It's 8," he replied, without thinking. "Correct, Raymond. Very good," she praised and I looked at him. He was very focused in class and his gaze was fixated on the board, writing notes. Something in me wished I was that focused in class. I examined his looks very closely.

Grey hair and his bangs were blonde. He wore black rimmed glasses and his eyes were quite interesting. Heterochromatic, one green and one brown. And I'm not gonna lie... his face was quite pretty.

He made eye contact with me and I quickly looked away. He must've realised I've been staring at him... "Bob, what's the answer for this question?" The teacher asked pointing to said question on the board.

Shit, I wasn't listening at all. "Uh," I scratched the back of my head. "I don't-"
"It's 24," the boy next to me cuts in. "Very good, Raymond. Bob, I expect you to at least be listening in my class," she looked at me. Ah, okay then. "Sorry," I blurted out.

- THE BELL RINGS

It was lunch time. Marshal walks into my class, "hey, let's go to the cafeteria," the small blond haired boy said to me. "Uh, yeah of course," I said, glancing at Raymond's place again. He was already gone, that was fast.

The two of us made our way to the cafeteria. We sat at our usual spot with a few friends. "I totally flunked my chemistry test or whatever," Audie said, taking a bite of her sandwich. "Hah, same here. Chemistry sucks," Sherb said. I didn't pay attention to the conversation after that, my gaze was fixated on the grey haired male who sat alone. He was drawing something in that sketchbook of his.

I've sometimes wonder what he'd drawn in there. I'm not usually a nosy person but he's just so mysterious that it makes me wonder what goes on in his head. I'm not willing to ask around about him though, I might sound creepy.

"Bob, Bob? Are ya listening?" Audie waved a hand at me. I snapped out of my gaze, "Uh, um. What?"
"You weren't listening! I was talking about how I saw this very pretty girl in my class," Audie ranted. "Oh sorry. What's her name?" I asked her. "Whitney. She sits next to me in English," Audie said.

I glanced at Raymond once more. Why did no one want to sit with him? He seemed like a nice guy, he was good looking too. Something in me just wanted to go to his table, sit with him and be his friend, but it'd be awkward. What would I even say?
'Hey um, I thought you were cute so I'm sitting here teehee,' So I went back to having convos with my actual friends. I'm too lazy to actually get up from my seat anyways

- TIMESKIP TO AFTER SCHOOL

Everyone is getting ready to go home, some already have left. I shoved whatever books I had on my table into my bag. I slung my bag over my shoulders and I began walking out of the class.

Ding! I got a text on my phone.

lil sis: heyyy! im having a friend over so dont disturb me ok

me: ill still do it even if u tell me not to :P

lil sis: i cant with u 😑

I have two sisters. Rosie is only a month younger than me, since she was adopted and Olivia was a year older than both of us. Olivia had a part time job in modelling and Rosie did most of the housework. I contribute by cooking since none of my sisters knew how to.

I walked down the hallways and I see Raymond. He was holding a few books. Probably he wanted to get to his locker, that was until someone walked up to him. "Hey Loser," he smirked. Raymond didn't answer, he just kept walking.

The hallways were empty, only three of us were in there. I listened in on what's happening. "Oi, listen to me you piece of shit," he raised his voice and grabbed Raymond's hand. Raymond's face was pissed: "What do you want, Tom?" He asked the slightly taller blue haired male.
