"I guess washing dishes is fun " Tristan said and Wren rolled her eyes as she kept herself busy, she dumped the plates for him to rinse. He looked at her and said " What makes you think I'll do this? I saved your little ass and you make me work? It's not fair" he pouted.

"You should've known what you were signing up for the moment you said you were going to do this " she challenged. "Plus this is my punishment for being late and you're here with me, no one stays idle while I work, got it?" she stuck her tongue out at him and he gave a disgusted look. She rolled her eyes at him and he chuckled softly.

"There should be a machine doing this thing... This isn't meant to be for us. Bartenders don't do this, do they?"
He whined,

"I think you forgot the part where I said that this was a punishment.. Gosh, Tristan Caves, are you such a lazy ass? Last time I checked, you are on the school's basketball and soccer team, am I correct? " She sounded frustrated by his continuous childishness. He seemed to be enjoying it as he stood there, smirking at her.

"You actually know some things about me, Wren. That's your name, right? A small bird lemme put it, birdie?" he said and she scoffed.

"You don't even know my name? Great.. Just great. "

"Did you need me to? "

"Hell no! "

"Why's that? "

"Because you're a jerkface " she accused. "I don't even know why I'm talking to you, we were never meant to be friends! "

"You're talking to me because I saved you twice.. Your life and your job. Did I add that you hug really well ?" he winked at her. "And for being friends.. Is that what you want? " he smirked, raising his eyebrow.

"Asshole, I hate you! As much as I'm grateful to you, I hate your guts.. It creeps the crap outta me! " she spat. Saying this was only meant to ease the awkwardness. And she was glad she could get back at him with her words.

"Take those words back, nerd" he was back to calling her 'nerd' .he gave a serious look launching towards her.

"Make me " she gritted her teeth, saying. She loved seeing him not smirking, the feeling was so fulfilling!

"Really?" he smirked again, pinning her to the wall. Then she wondered what he was up to. It isn't.....

No no no no no no

She shook her head.

"Then, you won't get back your. Biology note" he stuck out his tongue playfully.

"How mature of you " she spat, relieved. She didn't actually know what she was expecting... "And how am I sure you're with this note ?"

"Should I say... I guess Ian's name looks good in your writing.. Note the sarcasm, please " he laughed and she turned tomatoes.

She had written Ian's name all over the back page of her book, designing each letter. She knew she suck at designing but this wasn't the case! Tristan was the last person she expect to learn about her crush on Ian.

"Awww... See her blush... How cute.. " he laughed

"Did you see that? " She asked quietly, hiding her face.

"Yes, duh" he said with clear mock in his voice

"Now, give it back " she demanded, her hand stretched out. She knew he would never give it back. He was so annoying and childish. Now she believed it when Ryder said he wore a cold face in school as a façade.

"Come get it" he ran out, at that.

"Ughh! You little piece of... " she groaned, running after him. She so hated this...

"you are my love, you are my heart
and we will never ever ever be apart
Are we an item? Girl quit playing
We're just friends, what are you saying?
cause  there's another look right here in my eyes, my..... "

"What the... " she shouted, angry at the person who just took off her headphones from her ears. She smiled when she saw Ryder fix her headset on his ears.

"You're listening to Justin Bieber's Baby?"

"yeah,duh"

"Girls go crazy for him. I say, he's not that great of a guy "

"Oh, shut up. Quit being jealous, " she Said.

"You're just being a fangirl" he concluded.

"Fangirl? Then I guess I'm a super fangirl. I know a part of you wish to be him, haha! "

"Like hell I do. " he said sarcastically "I have a whole lot of fangirls too, I don't really enjoy being worshipped by my fans but I still love them. But posting my pictures incessantly online and declaring love for me on social media and stuff like that. I wish they could have a life outside me. "

"Interesting " she said. She knew Ryder Yuan was a model and modeled for so many companies and products. He was loved because he was young and very good looking. Wren still couldn't understand his need for attending school again. He has enough money to feed his next generation. He had a lot of fangirls and some of them shooting her death glares.

Just then, she saw Tristan coming down the hallway with Jake, Tyler and his queen, none other than Rachel. She had almost forgotten him. They hadn't talked in awhile and she didn't see him often since she was busy with pizza delivery as she had the rest of the week off at Cindy's. They hadn't had any class together plus, she had been too busy to notice him in the hallway or cafeteria. After that day at Cindy's, he tried to stalk her, but gave up after few tries and Wren was happy they were back to old times. Not talking to each other,at least, she thought she was.

He had his façade on again, making her think he always removed it when he was around her, for reasons she didn't get. He looked better when he laughed and joked, not with the mean face and clenched jaw.

She could hear some girls commenting about how cool he looked, how strong and macho he was with his well styled hair and all, she got sick of all of these.

Rachel looked attractive too and stood out among the girls. Her mom owned a fashion line, so she heard. And she always had the latest Miu miu or Marc Jacobs and every girl envied her for her looks and perfect figure and practically adored her.

Tristan looked towards Wren's direction, he looked like he wanted to make a move, but turned away with this frown on his face. He walked away with his delinquents and queen 'busty blonde ' Wren never forgets to add. Except Ryder who seemed to be...

"Earth to Wren? "

Looking at her... Great, just great!

"What? Sorry I spaced out on you. So you were saying? " she asked again.

"Forget it. I'd be heading to class now" he said, she noticed his cheeks were red getting her even more puzzled. What was supposedly making him blush and leave in a hurry?

"I thought we had the class together? "

"Uhm... Yeah.. " he said, scratching the back of his hair.

"Ryder Yuan, are you seriously blushing? You caught your crush staring at you? " she laughed, he was too cute "I need to see this lucky girl"

'Phew! That was close' he thought, thinking of what else to stop this chitchat.

"Are you ready to tell me who she is?" she nudged him playfully.

"God, Wren. It's nobody. Besides, I have a cold. " he made an excuse, a white lie and they both knew it. He left immediately after that. She smiled to herself, heading to her next class.

That was when she walked by an empty classroom where she saw Mona... Through the window and she wondered what her girlfriend should be doing before first period. She knew Mona to be a lazy ass when it comes to studies, so Wren wanted to drag her out when she noticed she wasn't alone in the classroom. The person was so close to Mona, they were inseparable...

Wait, I didn't just walk on my best friend making out with some guy, did I?

She became even more curious, who was Mona's mysterious boyfriend? She made a little effort before she saw him, no, them. Making out!! Her eyes bobbed out of her socket, her chest felt heavy and was thumping really fast. She needed air, she needs some air now! uncontrollable tears flowed freely. She bit her fingers, sobbing when some hand pulled her into his chest and moved her away as she cried.

"You didn't need to see that, it's unfair to you " the voice whispered to her, making more tears flow....
