In Maths once again seated in the far back corner of the room, Rae found herself observing the way the sunlight hit Blake's hair and highlighted it, making it look all shiny and soft-looking. However, Blake didn't look her way once, not in Homeroom or Maths or History class, where the teacher was so boring, Rae found herself drifting off, only to be jerked awake again when the teacher boomed a word out.

By lunch, she found herself strangely put out not to have met Blake's eyes once at all during the day. It made her feel strangely empty, not to gaze into those aqua pools. Again surrounded by David and her friends at lunch, Rae glanced around and saw Blake sat with Emmy Lees and Robert Fitch, two artsy type students that mostly kept to themselves. Rumour had it that they were hot for each other but apparently both were to shy to make a move, making them the butt of jokes in the lunchroom, herself included on the odd occasion, much to her shame.

Rae kept sneaking glances at Blake several times throughout lunch hoping to catch her gaze. Only once did that happen, once it did Rae instantly regretted it. Blake looked at her with such a level of disgust that Rae was shocked. She noticed Blake look around her table of friends, her eyes lingering on Lana David and herself, before she shook her head and went back talking to her new friends.

Rae turned away, her face a red mask of embarrassment, wondering what Blake had heard to make her look at Rae that way. She was sure there were many rumours going around, after all she was popular. However, 99% of the rumours were false.

Focusing on her friends conversations around the table, hyper- conscious of how uncomfortable David's hand felt on her leg, Rae found herself hoping fervently that she could show Blake Harley that she wasn't at all what the rumours made her out to be.
