Finally pulling apart Michael looked down and Nikita and saw her flushed cheeks and smiled at her innocence.
"You have drama don't you?" Michael asked, hope lacing his voice
"Yeah I have it first period" she replied curiously looking back at Michael.
"Great. you're in my class and its project week" he replied with a big smile, all he needed was a lit up light bulb above his head and his idea would be known.
"Okay? Where are you going with this?"
"Just come with me" Nikita had just managed to shut her locker before Michael dragged her to drama corridor.
Michael abruptly stopped when he saw their drama teacher in the corridor. The pair cautiously approached her. Michael struck up a conversation.
"Hi Miss" he said "This is Nikita Mears the new girl"
"Oh yes, good morning Miss Mears glad to see Michael is being nice to you today" she spoke softly and sweetly noticing Michael had his arm securely wrapped around Nikita is a possessive way.
"Miss we had had an idea, its project week right we thought we could do a secret project" Michael said all but jumping up and down on the spot.
"By we he means him" Nikita interjected using her thumb to point at him.
"What's the project Michael?" The teacher asked feeling obliged to ask.
"Nikita and I will pretend to be a couple and at the end do a dramatic break up scene in front of everyone like you see in those films"
"You have a deal, young man. You have two weeks." with that said she walked off freeing herself from her students.
Nikita couldn't believe what Michael and herself were getting into.
Michael and Nikita were among twelve others who arrived on time to the lesson. Spontaneously Michael pulled Nikita onto his lap and tightly hooked his arms around her form whispering low enough that only her ears could hear.
"This is going to be a fun couple of weeks!"
Nikita let out a small girlish giggle.
"You bet it is."
Just then two of Michael's friends walked in pulling kissy faces at the exclusive couple. Michael let Nikita stand up and settle into the chair beside him. Nikita's opinion of the two guys tormenting Michael were that they were confident with big egos but also with stupidity laced around their brains. It was obvious they thought very highly of themselves with how they strode around and looked at people. Pulling three chairs between the two of them they plonked them down next to Michael-who was sat in a semi-circle with the rest of the class facing the stage- As Nikita was sat next to Michael the two baboons sat next to her.
"I'm Blake this is my ugly un-identical twin Blaze" One of the guys said eyeing Nikita up.
Lost for words Nikita replied with the first that came to mind.
"Um hi. Why are you sat next to me?"
"Well you gorgeous are a total babe and why you are with that dork is interesting" he said pointing at Michael, who was laughing.
"Well that might have something to do with the fact that he's not anything but like you" Nikita burst out.
Blaze and Michael burst out laughing and Blake just turned around.
"You know a lot of people will be curious I haven't had a girlfriend at school, at different schools yes but no one knew about them so I think most people thought I was gay or celibate." Michael explained with slight humour running in his voice.
"Right class project week. Also I'm happy to introduce Miss Nikita Mears" The teacher said gaining the class's attention.
People started clapping and looking at Nikita while smiling kindly. Nikita turned to Michael fully red like a tomato clearly embarrassed.
"Nikita, come on up with Michael, you two are going to show a fight scene" Michael looked at Nikita who was shaking.
After climbing in front of everyone on to the stage he leant closer to her a whispered into her ear "You can lead hit right left etc"
Nikita nodded. Michael swung at her millimetres away from her face she ducked and swung for his legs and he dropped to the floor. Nikita straddled his lap pretending to slap his face while Blaze was clapping his hands to make sound effects, everyone was mesmerised by the act the two of them were presenting.
The two hour long class was mainly spent sorting groups and pairs out and practising fight scenes, then organising a project which gave Nikita and Michael the chance to organise their relationship. When the lesson ended Michael led Nikita to the toilets where he pecked her cheek delicately before she entered the rest room.
The toilets were desolate. Nikita put her bag on the sink scraping her hair up from being loose and free, she tied it in high ponytail. She was thinking about what her mom would say about her first day when she told later that evening. She was suddenly brought back down to earth when she heard sobs coming from one of the cubicles. She listened for which cubical the girl was in. Nikita wasn't really sure what was going to happen. Gently tapping on the door she heard the girl stop crying and takes a deep breath. She opened the door popping her head through the little gap.
"Erm hi?" the equally dark haired girl said trying to hold back her tears.
"Hi sorry to bother you but you seem to be upset. Is everything ok?" Nikita asked trying to sound normal.
The girl came out her lilac top covered in red slush.
"Some girls don't like me" She shrugged
"So, what? They through a slush on you? Come here" Nikita said pulling the girl over to the sink "Try dabbing the slushy I'll be back" she said heading for the door.
She popped her head out looking for Michael she found him nervously waiting for her.
"Michael, can you get me a top please like your white gym top?"
Michael just looked at her brown eyes and simply nodded without asking any further questions.
"Wait here" He replied waltzing to his locker.
She headed back into the toilets and went into a cubical. Two minutes later she handed the girl her white baggy top pulling the jacket, Michael had given her earlier, over her naked torso.
"Can you do me a favour when you've put that top on there should be a guy with dark hair and mesmerizing brown eyes outside, with a top can you get it for me?"
"Of course. Why are you being so nice to me?" She asked not believing the girl in front of her.
"I have no reason to be mean, I'm Nikita by the way" She said smiling.
"Alex. I'll be back" With that said she walked out finding Michael she brought the top back in and passed it to Nikita over the cubical door.
"How do you know Michael?" Alex questioned.
"He was showing me around earlier." Nikita replied shrugging it off.
"Apparently he was kissing a girl in the corridor earlier" Alex pushed.
"Guilty" Nikita said Walking out of the cubicle.
She had Michael's top rolled up just under her bra line showing her naval piercing the jacket covering her arms. Alex stood gobsmacked.
"Come on." Nikita smiled and grabbed Alex pulling her out into the corridor where Michael was stood on his phone, he became paralyzed when he caught sight of his girl.
"WOW" was the only word he could get out as he snapped a picture of Nikita and Alex together which made them blush.
"Michael" The girls said in sync.
The bell rang signalling end of break.
"I'm in Michael's lesson we have English what about you?" Nikita asked Alex.
"Really? Same who's your teacher?" Alex asked hoping Nikita was in her class.
"Miss Foster" Michael replied for Nikita who really didn't have a clue and shrugged her shoulders
.
"Yay, you're in my class you can sit next to me. I'm on my own and Michael sits next to Sean Pierce" Alex said her eyes lighting up on Sean's name.
