As I slid into my seat, something sharp poked me in the back. I turned and saw Adrien holding his pencil and looking at his textbook. I tapped him.

"Sup with that pencil?" I asked. He pretended to be innocent and asked,   " What?"

I rolled my eyes and turned back. Suddenly he jabbed me again. " Keep a tight leash on your boy." he commented before going back to pore over the textbook like the nerd he was pretending to be.

I opened my mouth to say something but clamped it shut. Adrien was obnoxious, and I wasn't about to let him get the better of me.

I glanced sideways at Matthew and Claris. They looked so cozy together that it made me hurt physically. "Zann, please answer the question." The teacher droned.

I snapped out of my thoughts and tried to focus. Which was really hard, considering that Adrien's words had made me suspicious.
