"Keep it down clumsy, I wanna sleep nd your shoulder feels like the best place to do it" Eston said nd Ivy blushed. He adjusted his head properly on her shoulder, eyes still closed. Ivy couldn't help but stare at him. She took in his face structure, he has a sharp jawline, long eyelashes, how can he have what she wants, his eyelashes are to die for, hers is long but not as long as his. His red plump lips are so sexy nd delicious, Hey Ivy don't go there, his pointed nose is cute. He looks so calm when sleeping, he's way more handsome than Ryan.
*OK Ivy, where's that thought coming from * Ivy scolded herself mentally.
She looked at his face again nd couldn't help but touch it. Her hand was almost close to his face but the ringing of the bell stopped her nd she withdrew her hand. Eston woke up to the sound of the bell.
"Is it time for class now? " Eston asked, yawning nd stretching his arms.
"Yes sleepy head, come on let's go to class" Ivy said standing up nd Eston stood up too, they both walked back to the fourth floor, where their class is.
"We,,,, we are friends, right? " Eston asked a little nervous, not sure if she sees him as a friend.
"Yes we are friends" Ivy respond nd winked at him before walking ahead.
Eston could hear his heart beating fast, he touched his chest nd rubbed it gently, while smiling widely.
"Clumsy, you affect me a lot without knowing " Eston said. He then walk in the same direction she took.

"Hey Ivy, where were you? We've been looking for you since we came back " Jocelyn said immediately Ivy entered into the class nd sat down.
"I went strolling, you guys left me all alone, remember? " Ivy rolled her eyes.
"With good reasons, here's your lunch, I bought it since we didn't see you at the cafeteria " Kaitlyn said dropping the lunch box on Ivy's table.
"Oh how lovely of you, hope you didn't poison it" Ivy said smirking, of course she's looking for Kaitlyn's trouble. Kaitlyn smirks back.
"That's left for you to find out, but if it's poisoned, then you're gonna die happy"
"B!tch " Ivy said, sticking out her tongue at Kaitlyn.
"Witch " Kaitlyn fired back.
"Stupid "
"Idiot " they continued.
"Kids" Jocelyn groaned inwardly.
The sound of the teacher's voice made them stop their argument nd concentrated on the teacher. Jocelyn rolled her eyes at them before facing the teacher too.
"Everyone bring out your literature text book nd open to page 125.... " the teacher said nd faced the board, writing. The students brought out their text books nd the lesson commenced.

"Bye Ryan " Stacey said as she came down from his car, he actually dropped her off from school. Ryan smiled nd drove off. Ever since his mother talked to him about caring for Stacey nd making her feel special, he's been doing just that. Stacey is fun to hang out with, he admit but it doesn't feel right. He can't see himself falling for her but what can he do. Ryan sighed nd concentrated more on the road.
Stacey sighed as she watch his car drove away until it's out off sight. She walked into the house nd a maid quickly ran towards her.
"Welcome ma'am Stacey, how was school? " She said with her head bowed. *mum is definitely at it again * Stacey thought nd scoffed. She walked upstairs not minding the maid. She thought about Ryan as she laid on her bed. Him taking her out is unlike him, She's sure his mum made him do so. She sighed. She's been sighing a lot lately.
*I don't want a loveless marriage like mum nd dad's. Yes dad don't love mum, they don't sleep in the same room or neither does dad eats her food. Am sure dad is in this marriage because of me. But dad loves me a lot, he doesn't joke with me nd I prefer dad to mum 100%* Stacey thought nd sighed again.
There was a little knock on the door, Stacey knew who it was without asking, it's her mum.
"What do you want Mrs Lewis? " Stacey yelled, she knows what her mum wants but she just asked anyway. Mrs Lewis entered the room.
"Stacey Lewis, that's not how to talk to your mother" Mrs Lewis said annoyed.
"Oh please, am doubting if you're my mother cause you don't act like one, now for the last time, what do you want? " Stacey said irritated. Mrs Lewis rolled her eyes, ignoring her rude statement.
"I just want to know when your dad is coming back, you know he hardly ever spoke to me" Mrs lewis said, standing with her hands crossed. Stacey scoffed loudly before standing up to face her mum.
"Of course I knew that will be your question, cause everything you think about is dad. You don't even care how I am or if am breathing fine, always looking for a way to make dad love you" Stacey yelled angrily.
Mrs lewis scoffed.
"Of course I care for you that's why I engaged you into one of the richest family in America, you should be happy you'll have money at your beck nd call"
"You call that caring? Engaging me to guy who doesn't nd will never love me no matter how I try, nd you want me to be grateful? " Stacey voiced out. Of course she wanted the marriage but not a loveless one.
"Love grows, he'll learn to love you, he has no choice anyway " Mrs lewis said, not bothered.
She didn't come here to hear her story or anything, she's looking for every opportunity to make her husband love her back.
"Hahaha, love grows? Speak for yourself, seven years of marriage with dad nd he still doesn't love you neither does he sleep with you nor eat your food... Just you forcing yourself on him, you're so shameless " Stacey yelled nd that earned her a slap from Mrs Lewis.
"You ungrateful child, how dare you call me shameless? Am your mother nd I deserve some respect " Mrs lewis yelled angrily.
"Then act like a mother, now I know why dad will never love a woman like you. Get out of my room NOW". Stacey yelled, her eyes red with anger.
Mrs Lewis glared dangerously at her before leaving the room, slamming the door hard.
Stacey fell on her bed nd all the tears came rushing out.
"I hate you mum, I HATE YOU" she screamed, drying her tears.
*Ryan will never love me back, nd I stupidly fell for him,but I'll make him mine no matter what * Stacey thought before going into the bathroom to freshen up.
