I burst out in a fit of giggles, "okay, maybe I'll join you" my statement lights him up, he says a quick prayer and we dig in, "your mom's really good" I praise,

"Yeah she is, but I'm sure you're good too" I eye him and he laughs, "so what do you think maths test is going to look like?"

"Well," I swallow, "Mr. Brown loves difficult things so expect tough questions, but there's a trick" I sip the pineapple juice, "the question is twisted but the basics still apply. Once you figure out where to use the basics, everything becomes clear"

"That's it?!" He couldn't believe it, I nod in affirmation, "I knew I was right to pick you" he sings my praises yet again,

"So that's what we'll be doing today. The basics" I chew slowly and his phone rings, he grabs it and cuts it immediately after seeing the caller, "looks like you are not in the mood to speak to anyone"

"She bugs me all the time!" He growls,

"Who is it?"

"No one important" he puts off his phone and slips it in his back pocket, "well the food's all gone so why don't we get down with maths?" He's full and pumped.

I head down to my locker and I spot Debbie talking with a boy, she was acting so shy and all, a smirk decorates my face,

"Hey there!" I enter the conversation,

"Hi," the boy responds,

"Eris, you're back. This is Bryan, Bryan Amberdale" she introduces him,

"Eris Stone, nice to meet you Bryan" we shake hands with smiles.

Bryan is about Daylon's height and possesses a similar build with him too. He has fuzzy and curly brown hair and enchanting brown eyes, a moderate nose and a great smile, he's also lightskin. He's in geography class with Debbie and judging from his movements, he was into her.

"So we'll see when you're free?" He winks at her with his books in his hand, about leaving,

"Yeah sure" she blushes like a fool and he walks away,

"So Bryan huh" I stretch out,

"He's so..." She sighs lovingly then in exasperation, "you're going to take revenge on me aren't you?" She puts her books in her locker,

"Well" I start and follow her gesture, I lean on my locker, "I don't know but I'm sure you wouldn't mind being in his arms for the whole day"

"Eris stop!" She whines covering her cheeks, she was so red right now and she could barely contain herself,

"Oh I love payback" I laugh triumphantly.

The sunsets and rises and we're having gym class. I'm doing Russian twists with weight and Debbie does jumping jacks, she collapses on the floor beside me,

"How do you do it Eris?!" She wheezes, "how many abs do you have?" She was panting like a dog,

"It's not so hard if you put in more effort" I roll my eyes and drop the weight,

"But I'm giving it my all!!" She adjusts her glasses,

"Better put in more effort. Look at Bryan over there" I point at her crush who's at the pull-up bar flexing his muscles, Debbie gulps, her body already ablaze, "don't want him to think you're lazy now do you?" I smirk, she wheezes and gets back to her jumping jacks.

All to impress a guy.

I join her to support, "he's so cute Eris, I don't know how to get him to like me?" She sighs,

"Bryan already likes you"

"He does??!!"

"Yeah he does" I increase my speed, "didn't you know?"

"I had no idea" her face becomes hotter, she looks over at Daylon, "look at him go!"

I see him doing push-ups with Mrs. Briggs standing right on him, all the girls were gawking at him and I just roll my eyes,

"He's showing off" but I admit it was impressive, no wonder he had that kind of build,

"Give him a break Eris, he deserves to show off a bit" Debbie laughs, "I think he's trying to attract you" he gets up and wipes off all the sweat, his pecs were just begging to be free, it was tempting.

"Whatever" we move to squats but I did mine with weights, I loved the burn and then we were done, "what a workout!" I stretch my limbs,

"Yeah I'm exhausted" she wheezes and checks her watch, "still 10 more minutes left. Wanna stretch?" She offers and I give in,

"Looking good girls!" Daylon and Bryan greet us,

"You guys look good too" Debbie nervously responds, hiding her blush away from her crush while I look Daylon straight in the eye.

That's the difference between us.

"Do you really want a response from me?" I cock my brow, currently, I was on my belly and my left leg was stretched over my head,

"I've got the response I need" Daylon whistles and a blush creeps up my cheeks, I jump up to meet his face,

"Why you?!" I try to punch him but he dodges and runs away like the coward he is, "get back here!!" I chase after him and I have to admit it was fun. He could be so naughty at times.

Daylon and Bryan were in the shower washing up all that sweat,

"You just had to step on her toes" Bryan glances at Daylon,

"It's fun to make fun of her. Love her reaction every time!" He laughs at the thought of me chasing him,

"Do you think Debbie likes me? I mean she's nice to me and all" Bryan pours warm water on his head seeking an answer,

"I'm sure she does" Daylon washes his legs, "you should ask her out" he advises,

"I think I would" he smiles.

A little time passes and we're in music class,

"Now your test is very simple, all you have to do is perform and I'll grade you" Mr. Vincent echoes, we all look at each other, that sounds easy, "but you'll only perform songs based on some words and emotions"

We all groan.

He brings out a box filled with cards and places it in the middle of the classroom,

"You're meant to pick two each and perform a song on what you get. You can choose to perform in groups if you please just make sure it's spectacular!" he grins and takes his seat.

We sulk and take our cards,

"What'd you get?" I ask Debbie trying to see her cards,

"I got 'Hope' and 'Pop'" she sighs, "you?"

"'Slow' and 'heartbreak'" I put my cards down,

"So you're singing like a sad song?" She asks,

"Yeah, I guess. I wonder what Daylon and Bryan got" I could only wonder.

School is over and Debbie kisses me goodbye, I spend about 30 minutes with Daylon on maths and then he takes his leave.

I'm walking down the hallway and I see a black feather on the floor, I rush to pick it up and place it close to my chest. I look around to make sure no one was looking and I slip it into my pocket and head to class for detention.
