Chapter 6 - The Assignment

I could barely breathe, my heart pounding in my chest. I didn't want any trouble and these guys looked like they ate trouble for breakfast. I rubbed my sweaty palms on my dress. " Miss Anderson are you alright Mr Tallman said looking at me. The entire class was quite now.... I wondered how long I had been lost in thoughts. "Yes I'm perfectly alright" I said without looking at him. I felt Xavier's gaze on me which made me feel even more uncomfortable. There was a guy in front of me with a box which had a bunch of rolled up papers in it. "Comeon I don't have all day". He said shaking the box. "What" I asked confused, what was I expected to do. "Pick a paper sweetheart" he said looking at me weirdly, Mr handsome looked at the guy for a second before he looked at me then he looked back at his book. I tore a piece of paper and wrote my name, I placed It into the box without asking why. The guy with the box walked over to Mr handsome who picked a paper from the box I watched his long slender fingers unravel the paper . There was a little tattoo of a heart covered up by thorns on his wrist. He turned and our eyes met. I turned away quickly looking at Mr Tallman. "Now class, the reason for you picking a paper is because, there's going to be a test soon and 50% of the mark would be gotten from a group assignment. Now there is a number on the paper you are holding and three other people have the same number. People with the same number would belong to a group, now that's clear let's begin. " Mr Tallman said pointing at the blonde hair girl who sat in the first role who was unaware of anything that was being done cause she was on her phone. "Natalia what number do you have and you know that phones are not allowed in class " Mr Tallman said with his hands on his waist. "12" she said lazily looking at Mr Tallman before she cotinued with what she was doing before. "Okay who else has 12" Mr Tallman said looking around . three other students raised their hands. This exercise continued for a while which made the class rowdy."6, please who has a six" Mr Tallman said. I looked at my paper, SIX! finally I raised my hand . "Miss Anderson okay who else has a six". Mr Tallman said his face was red and sweaty. "Please guys I don't have all day "he said wiping his face with a towel. "I have a six" a voice at the back said. I turned around to see who it was. For once I saw someone who looked normal. His dark brown shaggy hair suited his adorable face which had a large square frame glasses on it. I smiled waving at him and he waved back. " Fuck !" Xavier cursed," can I get a different number" he looked at Mr Tallman. "Are you a six Xavier". "What does it look like Mr T." He said quite pissed at the question. My ears tingled,a slight chill running down my spine. It wasn't like I wanted to be in a group with him , who would ever want to do that. "Is there a reason why you would like to change". Mr Tallman said tilting his head sideways playfully. "Let's say I don't like being in a group of weird juniors " he said his crystal blue eyes looking at me. My hands and feet were so sweaty, I felt like sinking into the earth crust and never coming out again. He fingers locked between each other,he had four visible tattoo on his arm but I couldn't make out what the where. He bit his lip before looking back at Mr Tallman. "See, stupid". He said and the entire class laughed. I looked down my heart pounding hard I didn't want to cry but, when you have the entire class laughing at you for staring like an idiot at someone who thought you were weird . It was pretty hard to resist. " Well I don't think any of them would love to be in a group with a pompous asshole, so you can do the class a favour if you would shut up for the rest of the class ". Mr handsome said with still reading. "come on Tristan I was only joking since when did you become such a dick ". Xavier said leaning on his table looking at him. "Plus I don't think Daisy here wants me to ". Xavier said with a crooked smile. I leaned back into my chair, last thing I want was to be in the middle of a fight with these two. "Your a fucking pig Xavier" Tristan said oddly calm . I didn't know why I felt bad and angry at his response. Maybe because he was calm about what Xavier just said to me but on the other hand why wouldn't he, I am a complete stranger and I didn't listen when he asked me not to seat in the chair but .... My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the bell. I looked at Mr Tallman who looked very sad that his class was disrupted and I felt really quilty. "I shouldn't have sat here"I muttered to myself trying not to cry. I waited till the class was nearly empty before getting up to leave. "Where do you think you're going Daisy" Xavier said smiling. I didn't know what was amusing but, what I knew for sure was I wasn't going to have anything to do with him. "Am leaving "I said packing my books. "No you're not, sit and call the other weirdo too" Xavier said sitting on his table. I stared at him in shock. " No". I said holding my books in my hand, who did he think he was .
