When the bell rang Mallory grabbed her backpack and was the first one to leave the classroom. She walked over to her next classroom and took her seat besides Jason. "Hey" Jason said to her. Mallory turned to look at him and smiled. As she set up her ipad with her keyboard a classmate walked over to Jason and was speaking to him. Mallory could tell the girl had a crush on Jason but he just laughed to not make her feel bad. The girl's ugly giggle was beginning to annoy Mallory. She was hoping she would leave or the professor would begin class so she could take her seat.
"Jason are you interested her?" Mallory asked him. "What?" Jason smiled. "Do you think you'd like her or go out with her?" Mallory asked looking at both of them.
Jason didn't want to say anything that would hurt the girls feelings. He didn't answer but acted like he was about to speak but Mallory spoke first. "See he's not interested now move on" Mallory said to her classmate who turned and walked to her seat.
"You didn't have to be that mean" Jason smiled. "Her giggles are annoying. Speaking of dating, Bellami's friend has been waiting for you to confirm your date with her" Mallory said taking her ipen out.
"I don't think I'll be able to go out with her" Jason said because he didn't want to go out with Bellami's friend. "So tell her you can't and block her" Mallory shrugged not asking why because truly she didn't care.
"Commitment is scary I don't know how you and Dimitri have been together for so long." Jason smiled. "It's sort of like your friendship with him" Mallory said. "Do you think you two will be high school sweethearts? Like get married and have kids?" Jason asked Mallory who turned to look at him.
"I don't know, maybe" Mallory shrugged. "So was that a yes or a no?" Jason raised his brow. "Did he ask you to ask me this?" Mallory slightly frowned. "No I was just curious" Jason said before the professor began class.

"Hey" Dimitri pulled Mallory by her waist to kiss her. "Eww" Bellami said as she walked towards their table to take a seat. "Are you guys grabbing lunch?" Jason asked them all.
"Yeah" they all said and headed towards the school cafe to grab lunch.

"Hey" Liam said to Ezekiel as he took his seat. "This is Devin" Liam pointed to his friend who took a seat with them. "Nice to meet you" Devin said to Ezekiel who responded with a likewise.
"So Jason is having his annual party, are we going or what?" Liam asked both Ezekiel and Devin. "Don't we need an invitation?" Ezekiel asked making Liam laugh and turn to look at Devin.
"Anybody who attends this school is invited to his party" Devin said to Ezekiel. "You should come with us it gets fun, girls, alcohol-" Devin was interrupted.
"Drugs" Liam said. "The point is it's fun" Devin said to Ezekiel who nodded. "Who's Jason again?" Ezekiel asked.
"The dude with the nice haircut" Liam pointed at Jason who was having lunch with his friends. "The one in between the two girls" Devin pointed. Jason was sitting in between Mallory and Bellami.
"Are they all sophisticated?" Ezekiel asked. "You're in a school of rich kids and even when not rich everyone is a little sophisticated" Devin said.

Ezekiel stepped into his classroom and saw that only Dimitri and Jason were at their table. Mallory wasn't there but a few seconds later she walked into the classroom. As she walked towards her seat she noticed Ezekiel sitting behind her, she completely forgot he was in that class with her to.
"Everything okay?" Dimitri asked Mallory once she was seated. "Yeah he just wanted to let me know he wants to buy a place in Shanghai and put it under my name for my birthday" Mallory said to Dimitri.
"You don't visit Shanghai often" Dimitri said to Mallory. "Which is why I asked him not to buy it" Mallory said very uninterested . "Spoiled rich" Jason said to Mallory who stuck her middle finger out at him with a smile.
"What are we going to do for your birthday?" Dimitri asked her. "I don't really want to do anything this year" Mallory said.

The next day Mallory took her seat besides Ezekiel who turned to look at her with a smile. She looked at him and raised her brow. "Are you going to tell me anything about you?" Ezekiel said.
"Why are you so interested?" Mallory asked. "Because its for my grade" Ezekiel frowned.
"Well ask me something" Mallory said. "Favorite place to visit?" Ezekiel asked. "The beach" Mallory said.
"You have the money to visit any place in the world and you choose the beach?" Ezekiel asked. "Did I say what beach?" Mallory answered.
"Favorite person?" Ezekiel asked. "You couldn't just ask me what my favorite food was or what is my favorite color?" Mallory asked him.
"I'm not going draw a salad and pink crayon" Ezekiel said offending Mallory or at least that's how she took it. "I'm sorry who are you again?" Mallory frowned.
"Ezekiel Hirsch" He smiled and he stuck his hand out for her to shake. She looked at his hand but didn't take it. "Well Ezekiel you need to stop being so self centered a-" Mallory said.
"Afraid of some competition?" Ezekiel smiled. For some reason he couldn't look away when she got angry. He payed close attention to the face gestures she did. He looked her in the eyes and noticed they looked different from where she wore a white blouse to when she wore a black dress. Of coarse the color of her eyes looked different with what she wore because she had hazel eyes like her mother and her sister.
"Excuse me?" Mallory frowned. "So who's your favorite person?" Ezekiel asked once again. Mallory got mad because he was ignoring her and looked over at the professor. She wanted to ask if she could be put with a different partner but noticed everyone liked their partner.
Mallory looked back at Ezekiel. "Should I ask you again?" Ezekiel raised his brow. "My grandmother" Mallory said with a tone of annoyance . "I thought you would say your boyfriend" Ezekiel said.
"How stereotypical can you be, thinking that because I have a boyfriend he'll be my favorite person. I look up to the woman in my life not the men" Mallory said looking him straight into his eyes that were hazel just like hers.
