Chapter 10

"So you're telling me that you and Alec Williams hung out and nearly kissed." Ari exclaimed ," Yeah tell the whole school, will you ?" I whispered then closed my locker harshly. "Also ,I was babysitting his sister, 'we didn't hang out'." I said ."Well when he found out that you didn't eat anything he made you stay and ordered pizza. I would say he wants you to be more than his sister's babysitter" Ari giggled. "Who wants you to be more than a babysitter?"' Adam popped from behind Ari. I jumped a little and Ari let out a low squeal. Ari turned around angerly and punched Adam on his shoulder.

"Hey!" Adam said then rubbed his shoulder. "How many do I have to tell you not to scare me like that" she whispered yelled at him." okay okay I'm sorry. Now will you tell me who you are talking about ? Please?" he asked after he apologised. I chuckled then Ari said " Alec Williams" Ari said with a smile. I shake my head and start walking down the hallway with Ari and Adam. "Williams?" Adam exclaimed."You're babysitting his sister?" he said . I nodded my head,"listen I'm just a babysitter nothing more nothing less. That's it." I said turning to face them .They scoffed but nodded their heads. We heard the bell ring and we each made our way to our classes.

"Look I'm just saying that he might want to be something more." Ari said. I groaned and laid my head on the table . "Please stop talking about him and let me have lunch in peace ." I pleaded. " Yeah really , all I want to do is eat without listening to you talking about a boy." Adam said. "Fine whatever." Ari said and continued eating her sandwich. I rolled my eyes and got my Nutella sandwich out of my bag. The moment I took it out Adam's eyes lit up and he started reaching for it. I hit his hand and said," Get away from me'. "Please , I love you so much .Please feed me." Adam pleaded and gave me puppy dog eyes. "Nope" I said and took a bite from one half of the sandwich. I took a glance at Adam and he looked defeated, I sighed and gave him the other half. A huge smile appeared on his face and he started eating after he said thank you. Ari giggled and I just shook my head.

"What do you have after lunch ?" Adam asked me. I swallowed the last bite of my sandwich " Math" I replied . "You?" he then asked Ari. "English" she said. "What about you?" I asked " Chemistry " he said. I nodded my head . Then we heard the bell ring. We through away our garbage and made our wat to our classes.

....

I entered the class and I saw Asher and Caden sitting at the back . There was one empty seat beside Asher and when he saw me he waved at me.

I went and sat beside him, "hey" Asher said. "I'm good, you?" I said. "He's good" Caden said before Asher can answer . Asher glared at Caden and Caden just smiled. Caden was about to say something but then the teacher entered and everyone became quiet.

"Okay today we are doing some equations and everyone is going to come to the board and do one in front of the class." The math teacher said. He called on a couple of kids and they started doing the equations. "How was hanging out with Alec" Asher whispered. "Not you too." I groaned quietly . "What?" he protested . "I'm just babysitting Bella. Nothing more nothing less" I said. "Whatever you say" Caden popped in . "Caden ,Asher , Claire. You three come here now!" he teachers voice boomed. I flinched then looked at Caden and Asher, I sighed and got up with them following me.

"Since you three seem to be so smart that you don't need to pay attention, how about you solve the most difficult problems , Caden you start ."The teacher ordered.

"Whatever you want ,sir" Caden said with a confident smile. The teacher glared at him and handed a marker. Caden took the marker and turned to the board, he scanned it for a second then started solving the problem. Within 2 minutes he was done with problem. He handed the the marker back to the teacher with a smirk"You call this hard?" he said. The teacher hardened his glare then told him to go back to his seat. Caden sat back in his eat and crossed his arms with a smirk.

"Your turn" the teacher said and handed the marker to Asher. And same as Caden he solved it within 2 minutes. "Really sir, there gotta be something harder than this" Asher said with a confident smirk then went to his seat.

"Well ms.Brown , this is the hardest question by far and you're gonna try to solve it.you can thank your friends for leaving you with this one." The teacher said. He handed me the marker, and I swear I heard him mutter that even he couldn't solve it. I turned to the board and started solving the equation . It took me less than 5 minutes . Once I was done I stepped back and looked at my work. I turned to the teacher with a satisfies grin on my face. The teacher looked shocked, the look on his face just wanted me to burst out laughing. "Well, I thought it was harder" I said then walked back to my seat.

All of the class looked shocked except for Asher and Caden. Once I sat down Asher said to me"I always knew that you are smart. " You know I was surprised at how fast you solved that problem." I told them. "What you thought that we are like those cliche boys?" Caden said. I nodded a little embarrassed . "We aren't Caden , Alec and I all have been offered scholarships to different ivy league universities if we get certain grades this year . It's not something that we advertise though. "Asher whispered. "Yeah, you're one of the only people who know. It's a secret."Caden said and put his finger on his lips.

"I'm gonna tell you this but you're the only people that will know about this .Not my friends know,not my parent and not my aunts ."I whispered . They nodded "I've been offered scholarships into 2 ivy league schools." I said. "Really ? And you haven't told anybody?" Asher asked. I nodded,"I got the email a couple days ago. I didn't have a chance to tell my aunt and my friends . I don't have the best relationship with my parents." I told them. They nodded, "Well maybe you will get into one of the universities with one of us." Caden said. I nodded and we finally turned our attention the teacher.
