"Hey Ethan," Nathan greeted, sitting on Ethan's desk.
Ethan looked up from his phone, " Oh! you, what's popping?"
"Nothing much, just felt like sitting with you" Nathan replied, smiling.
Ethan stared at him for a while and then chuckled.
"You appear to be the mysterious type," Nathan said.
"Is that what you think of me?" Ethan asked.
"Speaking of thoughts, what do you think of your tutor?" Nathan asked.
"She's so dramatic, is she always like that?" Ethan asked and Nathan chuckled.
"I think you should figure it out yourself," Nathan replied.

I and my friends entered the class and saw Ethan and Nathan talking and smiling with each other.
"Look! our boys are already getting along with each other," Diva said.
We walked over to them and Nathan hung his hand around Lisa's waist.
"Shouldn't you be holding me like that," I said playfully, turning to Ethan.
"You two will definitely look good together," Diva said, nudging Ethan.
"I see what's going on here, but I'm not interested in your little dramatic friend," Ethan said with a straight face.
I rolled my eyes, "nobody said you were, besides you are not my kind of guy, you are certainly beneath me!" I said and left with my friends.
"Are you always this mean?" Nathan asked.
"Was I mean to her?" Ethan asked staring at Nathan.
"Nevermind, I'm going to the basketball court; wanna join?" Nathan asked.
"Sure." Ethan replied shortly and left with Nathan.

"That Ethan guy drains my energy," I said feeling exasperated.
"He's playing hard to get," Lisa said.
"He should be lucky that Zen fancies him," Diva said.
"I think I should start ignoring him," I said.
Diva and Lisa stared at me.
"Can you?" they asked in unison and I rolled my eyes.
"Of course yes, not like he's my life" I replied, "anyways what are we doing tonight?"
"Clubbing!!" Diva and Lisa replied happily.
"It's Friday, so a little clubbing tonight will help get your mind off Ethan," Diva said.
I chuckled, "I hope so."

Later in the night, I freshened up and dressed for the club. I was putting on a crazy jeans bum short and a red crop top that exposed my cleavages, I applied my red lip gloss and went downstairs.
I saw my mum sitting on the couch so engrossed on her phone, I passed her and picked up my phone beside her and made to leave when she called me back.
"Where are you going by this ungodly hour?" She asked.
I turned around and stared at her for a while.
"Not like you care," I replied coldly and slammed the door.
I waited outside for a while before Lisa pulled over with our friendship car, I opened the door and got inside.
"What kept you girls so long?" I asked.
"We ran out of petroleum," Diva replied.
"Did you quarrel with your mum again?" Lisa asked and I nodded.
"No wonder you look a little down casted," Diva said.
"Can I sleep over at your place Diva?" I asked.
"Do you know what?" Diva asked, looking at Lisa and i.
"What?" we replied in unison.
"Let's sleep at the tree house tonight," she said and we smiled.
"I love you girls a lot" I said and we hugged each other.
Just then Lisa let go of the steering.
"Watch the road!!" I and Diva screamed and she immediately went back to the steering.
"Take a chill pill girls, we are on a straight road," she said grinning.
"Please I don't want to die yet, Ethan is yet to love me back," I said and we burst into laughter.
We pulled over at the stripers club and sauntered inside, the sound of the music that came out of the loud speakers filled the air. everyone were drinking and dancing to the tune of the music.
I and my friends went over to a vacant table and sat there, we ordered a bottle of a red wine and a white wine, Diva opened it and poured the content of the bottle each into our cups.
I took a sip from mine and stood up to dance, aside from singing; dancing has always been my hobby but I prefer to sing.
I and my friends were dancing when this punk dude came up to me.
"Hey!" he greeted.
I stared at him and continue dancing totally ignoring his existence.
He held my wrist so tight that I felt my wrist was gonna separate from my body.
"Let go off her!" Diva said coldly and pushed him.
he freed my wrist and held Diva's hand, Lisa kicked him on his stomach and I made to break his head with the bottle on the table but he pushed me down and made to punch my face.
I whimpered in pain and closed my eyes to embrace the pain that follows after but nothing happened, just then I heard a thud and I opened my eyes slowly and saw Ethan pouncing on the guy mercilessly.
I gasp, "my knight in a shinning armor" I thought.
"Are you girls okay?" he asked, concern written all over his face.
"Yes, just a little bruises," I replied.
He stared at us for a while and left.
"Let's leave this place," Lisa said and we left for the tree house.

I was in my locker swapping books, when Ethan came up to me.
"Hey!" Ethan greeted.
I stared at him and ignored him.
"I'm sorry for being mean to you yesterday," he apologized.
"Are you insane, you literally saved my ass last night; why will I still be upset with you for what happened yesterday afternoon." I thought.
I stared at him and turned around to leave when he dragged me back, my eyes met with his dazzling hazel eyes.
Just then I felt a spark in my heart, I froze for some minutes before snapping back to reality.
"Ouch!" I screamed, pretending to be in pain.
he loosened his grip.
"I'm sorry, didn't know it was on this wrist," he apologized.
"I'm fine," I said and left without looking back at him.
