#Chapter3

Jayla turned toward her with a shocked look, she scratched the back of her neck and bites her lips nervously.

/"He's...somehow mysterious./" She said, approving her answer to her question.

/"Well, girls like hot and mysterious boys./" She winked as she skipped happily, Jayla chuckled and held her books tight on her chest.

/"Why are you asking that?/"

/"Because he's my cousin and also he can be grumpy sometimes so don't mind at all./" She shrugged and opened the door of the classroom, Jayla frowned and tilted her head in confusion.

/"You look cute./" Someone said making her burst out in fright, she widened her eyes and see this young handsome man in front of her, he was gorgeous, he had brown hair and blue eyes just like Max. He just looks like him, making her surprise.

/"Who are you?/" She asked.

/"My name is Giovanni, I'm Max brother, you know him maybe?/" He said with a smile on his face, it made her confused since he had the same face as the mysterious boy and having a smile was making her heart flutter.

/"Yeah, you guys look like twins./" She chuckled.

/"We get that sometime, shall we go inside?/" He proposed, get away from her to let her enter the room first, she smiled and get inside, followed by Giovanni behind. She tried to search Eleanor who sat next to her boyfriend Huxley, she glanced at Jayla and urged her to come forward, she nodded and went toward them.

/"Hey I'm Huxley, I think Eleanor introduced me to you./" He said he had blond hair with grey eyes just like Eleanor.

/"Exactly, I'm Jayla nice to meet you./" She said and held a hand toward Huxley who gladly shook her hand, then he did a handshake with Giovanni who was behind them.

/"Hey Beta—I mean Giovanni./" Huxley stuttered and Eleanor sighed in relief as well upon Giovanni, they thought that she didn't catch what he was supposed to say but unfortunately to her, she caught it and think about it.

/"Hey Eleanor and Huxley, let's sit behind them./" Giovanni whispered in Jayla's ear quietly, she nodded shyly and went behind them, the two of them took a chair and sat on it, waiting patiently for the teacher to come.

/"Where are Cole and Maxwell?/" She asked the foreign name of the boy coming out of her mouth was making her stomach in a knot. He had a beautiful masculine name that corresponded to him.

/"Well they are seniors and we are sophomores, Eleanor was only in your class because she had senior courses just like them, but how did you meet them then?/" He asked Jayla, even though she had average scores she was good at math since her brother is a speciality and her father is an accountant.

/"I'm really good at math./" She blushed, it was her first time to have a long conversation with a guy she finds hot and sexy except Nolan who was her childhood friend. It made her overthink and nervous. She didn't want him to find her annoying or crazy.

/"Math is literally my worst nightmare, I don't know how you can find that good./" He laughed and cringed in disgust, she giggled and lift her hand up to fan herself.

/"Are you hot?/" He noticed the way she fanned herself, she shook her head with her cheek red, actually, she was hot and sweaty, she wanted to go out of here but the teacher was here already.

/"Don't lie, I know you're hot./" He said and took a book to get some cold air for her face, she blushed as she watched his arms flexing.

/"I'm not feeling hot./" She said trying to spell it out correctly, she was stuck on watching Giovanni flexing his arms in front of her.

/"You sure?/" He asked and she nodded.

/"Jayla wanna hang out in my house?/" Eleanor turned her head toward the flushed girl, she frowned in confusion as she looked at her state, she looked at Giovanni who only shrugged and get back on writing.

/"Uhm don't you think this is going too fast?/" She asked, it's been only one day and she wants to hang out in her house, she doesn't know her that well. Why does she want to go to her house? Maybe she will humiliate her? Or worse, she will have to meet Max, the grumpy man.

/"Not really, besides I'm sure the guys won't mind./" She said with a smile looking at Gio and Huxley who smiled as well, Jayla gulped nervously and scratched her collarbones.

/"I don't know, I have to ask my brother then./" She hissed.

/"You have a brother?/" Eleanor asked and she nodded.

/"Yes, his name is Darby and he's a senior in college./"

/"Oh the Darby Jacobs, I heard he was a popular senior last year./" Huxley said and Jayla nodded quietly, she didn't like to talk about him, mostly senior girls would come toward her and ask about her brother, she hated that they were friends with her just because she was Darby's sister.

/"Well, then you can ask your brother if you can come to our house./" Eleanor said and smiled, Jayla frowned as she said our instead of mine.

/"You must be confused about why she said 'our' instead of 'hers', it's because we live in the same house. Me, Huxley, Eleanor, Cole, Marco, Peyton and Max./" Giovanni made up an excuse and told her a lie that easily covers up but Jayla was not dumb at all, she knew he was lying because she stared at Gio who glanced at Huxley and Eleanor hesitantly, using some kind of telepathy.

/"Oh alright./" Jayla nodded even though she knew they were lying, she decided to keep it to herself.

/"Well let's go./" Huxley said as he heard the bell ringing, Eleanor nodded and put a hand on Huxley who smiled gently and hugged her, Jayla was feeling jealous of the scene in front of her, she always wanted someone to hold her and cherish her.

/"Shall we go?/" Giovanni asked beside her, cutting her thoughts as he held her bag, she nodded and grabbed the bag from him.
