Liam's P.O.V
A loud thud by the door stopped Mr. Sherring's blabbering. I glanced over at the source of the disturbance. Isn't she the poodle head from the morning who ran into yob? Instead of standing up immediately like any normal person would do, she makes herself comfortable on the floor and clears her throat.
"Hi...um... new student here..?"
She more of questioned herself. I chuckled at her obvious awkwardness. Mr sherrings asks her to take a seat and then proceeded to go on about the project. He says something about forming groups and leaves the class. Everyone gets out of their seats and start talking. The usual.
I find myself looking at poodle head. I don't know, she's interesting to watch. She waves at someone. I follow her line of vision to see it's yob making her way to poodle.
Very unusual. Very very unusual.
This cannot be good.
Poodle steps back. Good job!
But then yob opens her mouth and her grin Falls. she turns away a bit from yob. Yob says a few more stuff to her which has her turned around completely. She starts searching the crowd hysterically. For help? The hag stands behind her looking at her like she's her debtor or something. Isn't she going a bit far for if this is about the hallway incident?
I mean it's poodles first day!
Guess the knight has to step in.
I go over there and step in between them. I angle my head sidewards.
"I gotcha poodle!" I assure her before before facing the wretch.
I wag a my finger under her nose.
"You... you yob! what do you get out of bullying people on the first day?!" she slaps my fingers away.
"Shut up you dimwit! confirm before you allege."
"What is there to confirm huh? Didn't you push her in the hallway? And now aren't you just threatening her?" She clicked her tounge and cocked her head at poodle.
"When are you going to start speaking?"
"I...um.." she starts looking back and forth between the between me and yob.
"She was just asking to be teammates. Not threatening at all! she is so sweet!"
"Sweet? This person...sweet?" I asked her. disbelievingly.
"Are you done now? leave." Yob intervenes. It doesn't feel right. I hesitate.
"If that's what it is then fine! I will stay in this group as well." I nod at poodle who nods back gratefully.
"Do whatever" yob says and starts looking the other side.
"Hi! I am Nura Rose. Thanks for that." She says in a hushed tone and extends her hand. "Liam. Don't mention it. she's scary." I reply in the same hushed tone and shake her hand.
She laughs a bit.
"Yeah! Won't deny that." "Hey, we need to more members." She says a bit concerned.
"Ah! Don't worry about that. Yo tristan! Lexi! Come over here!" I call out for my friends.
"What is it Li?" Lexi says as she strolled towards us with Christian sauntering behind her. "Can you not move faster?" I holler at Tristan. He rolls his eyes lamely and continues walking in the same place.
I introduced them to Nura.
"You guys will be in my group." They both look at each other and shrug.
"Who is the other member?" Lexi asks and I motion toward yob.
"B.... you tricked us!" she accuses.
"Just this one time!" "Whatever, I guess it won't be too bad."
Tristan goes to Yob. "Kaelyn, right?"He asks her.
She inclines her head slightly.
"Tristan." She says in the same monotonous voice. Trystan was about to say something when Mr sherrings entered the class again. Yob just turned on her heels and went back to her seat.
Tell me she isn't annoying!
"Okay Class! Settle down as fast as possible so that we could discuss the details of the project." He claps his hands to get our attention and starts blabbering again we move back to our seats.

Kaelyn's P.O.V
Phew! Finally the last class is over! I can go ho...
"Yo yob!"
Ughh! what does he want now? I pack up my stuffs and throw them in my bag.
As I Sling it over my shoulders, A hand slams on my desk lightly and a mop of brick red hair materialises in front of my face
"What?wanna accuse me again?"I ask annoyed
"Stop being grudgy! And Stop ignoring me. I know you clearly heard me!" Liam Spates
"What do you want?"
"Oh right! Trystan, poodle and Lexi are waiting for us in the science park"
"Why?" I ask in confusion.
" 'Group project' Nemo."
"Tch, you know that I have a name right ?"
"Of course I do Caitlyn !" I clicked my tongue
" Or... was it Gwendolyn ?"
Is he messing with me ? why do I care if he knows my name...I tighten the straps of my bag and move past him.
"Hey! I know it ends with 'lyn' alright! Evelyn!" Liam shouts in the background
He eventually catches up to me and grabs my arm. I turn and tug at it but he still holds it in a firm grasp..
"Leave me!"
"Wait...!" He huffs and bends over a little I wait for him until he regains his breathing and pull back my arm..
He stumbles a little at the sudden loss of support.
"I remember it now" I glance at his face
"Marilyn!" I rub my temples and continue on my way.
"Okay it has to be Rozlyn!" He hobbles next to me
"Jocelyn?"
"shut up"
"Jacquelyn?"
"shut your gob"
"Kaelyn! Over here!"
"Trystan"
"Ah"
I go over to where the trio was sprawled in the ground
"yo guys,did we miss anything?" Liam says and plops down beside Nura. I sit down beside Lexi.
"No, We were waiting for you guys.." Nura says.
"Okay, so basically for the project, we have to act as a family and plan our jobs, incomes, spendings and lifestyle. There are 5 of us so I was thinking that it would be better if we create three generations so that we'll have two couples and a kid." Lexi proposes.
"Wow! That's a great idea!" Nura compliments
"It'll do." Trystan shrugs.
"I don't really care. I'm fine with anything." Liam utters.
"Does that mean we are done here?" I inquire.
"Not quite. We need to plan and discuss everything." Lexi says.
"We can work alone and compile everything once the work is done." I tell them.
"Nope, that won't do. I'm dumb." Liam states.
"Me too! This would be my first project. I don't know how things work here." Nura Says.
Ughh these two have come to earth to annoy me.
"Let's meet at my house after school everyday till we are done with the project." Trystan offers.
"I can't. I'm sorry." I tell them.
"Why though? What's your issue?" Liam asks me. I sigh.
"I can't leave my brother alone at home and he wouldn't want to come with me everyday." I tell them.
"But don't you have like other people to look after him while you are gone?" Liam probes.
"I don't." I saw Trystan glance at me.
"What about your mom?" He asks me.
"Sabrina is busy and currently out of station."
"Ohh."
"Guys!!! Why don't we all just go to Kaelyn's ?" Lexi exclaims.
"M..My house?"
"Omg yess! Then it won't be a problem!" Nura agrees.
They all turn and look at me expectantly. I have never had people over. I don't know what they would expect and how I should prepare. All they would need is snacks right? I wouldn't even have to leave Cammie so it should be the best option.
"Fine!"
"Bravo!" Liam slaps my shoulders which earns him a glare. Lexi claps to bring attention towards her.
"So it's final! We are gonna freshen up and meet at Kaelyn's everyday from now on!"
"Okay!"
"Cool!"
