DISCLAIMER: If I could own Adrian, I would've already.
"What do you think her story is?"
Dimitri Belikov looked up from his book and frowned at his friend who was staring intently at the girl who sat in the back of the class. The bell has yet rung.
"I mean, the teacher never calls on her even though she's always looking outside the window," Adrian Ivashkov grumbled, "But whenever I merely glance at the window, the doof wants me to solve global warming."
Dimitri rolled his eyes and flicked his friend in the forehead, breaking Adrian's attention away from his target. He's been eyeing her ever since the announcement this morning – Rose Hathaway was to be Adrian's new tutor.
"Oh, I don't know. It could be the fact that she's top in the class and you're as smart as a brick," Dimitri said, uninterested in starting this conversation again.
"But that's exactly what I mean! How is she top in the class if she never pays attention? It's so unfair!" Adrian whined, completely ignoring the insult directed towards him. He received another flick in the forehead, only this time, it wasn't from Dimitri. Adrian looked up to find Christian Ozera and his girlfriend smiling at him, amused at his pain and frustration.
"Lay off, meanie. I think you might find her worthy of your presence, Mr. Ivashkov. She seems really nice," Lissa said, being the nice little kitten she is. Adrian really hated her ability of always thinking positive. If he lived with that mindset, he might actually lose his mind.
"Yeah," Christian smirked, "and it doesn't hurt that she's super attractive." Even though Adrian held a degree of resent towards the girl, he had to acknowledge her beauty. Lissa hit her boyfriend on the head, but his yelp was overshadowed by the ringing of the bell. The group of friends dispersed to their seats and awaited another exciting day of learning! As expected, Lissa and Christian sat next to each other, as did Dimitri and Adrian. Rose sat alone like she always was.
Class was "fun" as always, except for Adrian. He swears up and down that the teacher was out to get him. He seems to be the only one oblivious to the fact that he used to date the teacher's daughter. Hence, he's always called to answer the hardest questions.
"One day, I swear, I will be the one to embarrass him. For once, I will be triumphant," Adrian announces to his regular crew - Dimitri, Christian, and Lissa.
"Yeah, with my help, stubborn ass," Rose says from behind him, "Bring your books and meet me in the library. You do know where that is, don't you?"
