"You know we could have literally just walked out of the class." Phoenix whispers because of our current position.

"But where's the fun in that? Let me teach you how to do your job." I tease mockingly.

"Which is?"

I smirk even though I know he cannot see me—because, I am infront of him, both of us are crawling and it is dark.

"How to be a dumbass badass."

Phoenix snorts, "I'm no dumbass, my GPA score would shock you."

"Some how—I believe that's somewhat true." I say, then stop crawling.

"See, that wasn't that hard, you should compilmen-Wait? Hey! You were being sarcastic weren't you?" Phoenix asks flabbergasted.

"The cow finally goes moo." I deadpan. "Now keep quiet, we're jumping."

I move back a bit and kick open the large steel air vent cover. I look down carefully—making sure that Mr Stevens isn't in his office and jump down.

Carefully and gracefully landing on my face.

"Ouch." I mutter to myself as I brush off some imaginery dust off my clothes.

Looking up at the air vent, I signal for Phoenix to come down but he doesn't budge.

"Don't tell me your afraid of heights." I ask smugly.

Weakness number one.

Phoenix gulps and I would have sworn I saw a bead of sweat roll down from his temple—down to his cheek.

"Look it's not that bad. To make it easier, pretend this room is some blonde hot chick that you would want to pounce on."

Phoenix rolls his eyes, "Why would I need to pretend this room is 'some blonde hot chick' when I have you here."

With that, he jumps down with ease and actually lands on his feet.

I feel my face heat up so I turn around and start pacing the room.

"Got a problem." Phoenix asks whilst rotating himself in Mr Stevens sacred chair.

The Hermin Miller Embody office chair. He got it as a gift from a student's parents. I'm pretty sure it was a bribe—I heard the kid was going to be expelled but the student's parent thought fast and a chair did the trick.

"You tell me, people usually pace around when they have a problem now don't they." I sass.

"Well forgive me for trying to help a friend out." Phoenix says throwing his hands in the air."

My head instantly snaps in his direction. "I'm not your friend."

Phoenix stops spinning around and reclines the chair back, placing all his body weight onto the chair.

Poor leather chair.

First Mr Stevens now him.

"Wrong. Not only am I your friend—but your boyfriend too." Phoenix says as if it's the most obvious and normal thing in the world.

I remain quite—proccesing every single word. I then look at Phoenix and burst out laughing.

Wheeze.

Laugh.

Cough.

Laugh.

Ass rolling.

Wheeze.

Cough, cough, cough.

Regain posture and clear throat.

"Was it your mother and father's genitals that gave you your sense of humour too? Tell them they actually did a great job."

"I will only say this once—again." Phoenix says in a serious tone.

"You.will be my.girlfriend."

My face scrunches up in total confusion. "And you couldn't find any other girl to be your girlfriend because...?"

Phoenix gets up from the chair and walks in my direction—slowly.

"You don't get it do you?"

I roll my eyes for the billionth time today.

If I'm lucky I might just get a migraine.

"Maybe I would 'get it' if you actually told what the hell is going on." I defend.

Phoenix let's out a frustrated sigh. "I know you are planing something—I just don't know what it is. A goody two shoes doesn't just turn into a rotten apple in one day."

"I don't know what your talking about." I move past Phoenix and attempt to make my way to the door.

Attempt.

Phoenix grabs my arm tightly. Not to tight, but tight enough that my wrist can't squirm it's way out.

"Don't deny it, your looking for something."

I look straight ahead, avoiding talking to him face to face—but, I feel his soul sucking gaze on me.

"What makes you so sure?" I ask genuinely interested.

"I'm not sure. But what I do know is that you need to become a Prece to do whatever you need to do and there are only three ways you can do that; either, you have a older sibling who is already a Prece. Or, your filthy rich. And last but not least, date a Prece. The last option is the only option you can take. I'm doing you a favour." He ends off.

I blink processing everything.

Something that I've now been doing regularly ever since I meet the 'oh so drool worthy son of a male dog because females are just to classy to be called a bitch'.

"And what do you get out of all of this? You don't seem like the selfless type." I press.

Phoenix let's go of my arm, "I get to make Candice Young jealous."

I quickly think about it. I mean it does make sense that Pheonix would go through so much just to get a date with the Candice Young.

Right?

Candice is quite the boys charmer.

It's almost impossible to even capture the attention of Candice Young.

Candice isn't that bitchy. It is just self crushing to be in her presence. She has long wavy caramel hair while I'd have blonde hair. She wears designer clothes all the time; Gucci, Chanel, Prada you name it, she wears it all while I'll probably have on a light pink hoodie from H&M and some sort of pants and shoes.

My clothing style isn't bad at all, but compared to Candice—I look like shit plastered on a wall.

But what Candice does love is attention. And Phoenix is a Prece so he could easily get her by just mentioning her name.

Which is why I do not understand why he need my help.

I guess there's only one way to find out...

"Deal." I agree, reaching my hand out to meet Phoenix'

His hands meet mine and we shake hands. "You won't regret it."

Heyyy! I'm so sorry
this update came late, but it is still today I guess. It is literally 23:54 right now and I kind off rushed this chapter but nether the less I'm still happy with how it came out. I promise the next chapter is the party. I hope this book isn't going to slow for you, but I don't really want to rush things but I also don't want to be so  slow. Tomorrow's update will be around midday. I had a virtual running race today so I was so tired when I finished I forgot all about Wattpad. But don't worry, no matter what happens i will always update every single day. At the top, Body by Megan Thee Stallion. I love that song. Lmao.

LOTS OF FRICKING LOVE!
