We got to school the exact time assembly was ending. I still saw SS3 students lurking around so I just sneaked in between them. I didn't find Skye in sight which meant she was probably doing her Head girl duties with Somadina up front. I sighed, glad that we were not caught.

"After screaming and yelling that we would get punished, yet here we are. No punishment." Khalil stated in a mocking tone and I eyed him.

"You should better be grateful that your cousin is the head girl and she probably had to pull some strings so that yo ass won't get punished." I replied and he rolled his eyes, fishing out his phone from his pocket. I looked around, trying to find Elyon or anyone I knew.

I sighted Vanessa at a corner of the auditorium with a group of Juniors kneeling down and raising their hands up. I chuckled. Vanessa was the disciplinary prefect. You'd think someone with her stature won't make the post work but man, the babe is vicious. It did fit her anyway.

"Vanessa." I called her. She turned to my side and saw me then she began to walk towards me.

"You are late. I'm supposed to punish the both of you." She stated matter-of-factly immediately she got to me but I didn't miss the teasing undertone in her voice. I pouted while she smirked.

"And what are you supposed to be, little person?" Khalil asked from behind me, peering at Vanessa through lazy eyes. Vanessa turned to look at him and gave him a one over.

"Disciplinary prefect." She replied sassily, not batting an eyelid. "And I'm supposed to seize your shoes. They are against the colour code." She added, authority in her voice. Khalil laughed in response. I watched the two of them, knowing that Khalil would want to walk over her and Vanessa won't allow that.

"You want to seize my shoes?" He asked incredulously.

"I have the authority to." Vanessa answered, her hands folded across her chest.

"But since it's your first day, I'd let you go. But wear that again and I'd take it and there is absolutely nothing you'd do about it. So, don't try me." She said in one breath. I didn't miss the look of surprise and awe on his face. I smirked, feeling proud of my friend.

"Feisty." He stated, smirking when he recovered from his shock. "I like you." He nodded and I rolled my eyes.

He likes everything in skirt.

"Well, take your eyes off this one because she's taken." Somadina replied from behind Vanessa, swinging a possessive arm around her.

I looked up and I saw Elyon, Skye and Mateo making their way towards us. My eyes zeroed on Elyon and immediately, the tip of my tongue involuntarily darted out to wet my suddenly dry lips.
