I enter the classroom trailing behind Aubrey. I follow her as she makes her way through the clutter of desks to the back. She sits down towards the window seat and I take the empty one beside her.

I look around and see kids eagerly chatting away, my eyes slowly move towards the board in which a name was scribbled in almost unrecognizable handwriting.

Mr.Casper?

A smile plays on my lips at the sound of his name. My eyes begin to drift downwards and I lay my head onto the desk just now realizing how tired I am.

Great. Just Great. The day hasn't even started and I'm already falling asleep. Once again the shrill sound of the bell fill my ears as a new set of footprints enter the room and the class falls silent. My guess it's Mr.Casper.

Proving my point, a deep booming voice resonates throughout the classroom. " Gooood Morning class!." He greets us in an unusually cheery tone, making me wince slightly.

" Since today is only the first day and I can see some of you aren't fully awake." I felt eyes sift towards me and I pull my head up and sit straighter. Mr.Carter watched me with a stern look yet there's humor dancing around. Peeling his gaze away he continues with the explanation." I'll be handing out a review sheet for the work you have done the previous year and you'll have the entire period to work on that. We'll be taking it up when we have a chance"

Smiling I put my head back down on the desk. Letting the coolness brush softly against my cheeks.

I like this teacher

A few minutes later the classroom door bursts open.

"Ah. I was wondering if you'd join us Mr.Dimitri." My heart skips a beat as I hear his name. Then I panic. He's in my class. I can't let anyone else know I'm working for him or my plans for the year will be thrown out like last years trash.

His laugh booms and bounces off the walls. "You know me, I like to do things at my own pace."

"That's fine and all, but I'd appreciate if you'd show up on time." Mr.Casper counters his voice calm.

"Sir, yes sir."

"Take a seat on any of the empty desks." Mr.Casper instructs.

I pray that he doesn't take the one next to me which is seemingly empty.

Of course god didn't seem to hear my silent prayer as I hear a chair next to me being pulled out. I feel eyes boring into me but I keep my down and turn away from him.

I open my eyes and see Aubrey looking behind me wide eyes. Here eyes shift from him to me. She mouths. He's staring at you!

I know. I mouth back.

I feel a paper being slid onto my desk. Finally I lift my head. Ignoring the person next to me I scan over the paper.

Easy enough

I bend down and take out my pencil box. I extract a pencil and start filling in the sheet.

Moments later I feel a poke on my left side. I ignore it. Then it happens again. Ignore it. And again and again. "Laura" He whispers.

Slamming my pencil down I glare daggers at Dante.

What!? I mouth

He doesn't get the memo of keeping quiet during class and outright speaks. " Do you have a pencil that I can borrow." He stares at me, humor dancing in his eyes.

I pull out an extra pencil and pass it over.

"Thanks" He responds.

I nod and get back to work, taking peeks at him every now and then. Time flies and the bell for first period rings. I start to pack up my things when Dante slides over my pencil with a nod and strolls away.

I take it and narrow my eyes. He left his bag open and dangling from the side is a...pencil box.

I sigh and look over at Aubrey, who's looking at me with comically wide eyes.

The rest of the classes zoom by as I hear the bell for lunch ring. The constant rumble of my stomach can finally be at ease. I walk towards the cafeteria doors. I sling it open and spot Aubrey who's sitting with Ryder, Cal and some of their other friends. Sighing I get my food and make my way over.

"Nice of you to finally join us." The snarky remark come out from none other than Ryder.

I roll my eyes and sit down opposite of Aubrey, next to Cal. He shifts next to me. I hungrily began to dig into my food, not caring how I look. It's then I notice how eerily quiet the cafeteria is.

Someone throws a fry at my face. I lift my head up and glare at Ryder. He puts his hands up in mock surrender and points towards Aubrey. I shift my glare to Aubrey who points behind me with her mouth wide open. A dreaded feeling starts to form at the pit of my stomach as I turn around. And sure enough there's Dante in all his glory. Making his way over to our table with his usual smirk in place.

Well this can't be good
