Asef

Her lips pressed onto mine felt like heaven. I didn't want to stop. I wanted to go all the way but I knew we couldn't. So I did what had to be done. I pulled away causing her to whine in disappointment. The feeling's mutual. Her eyes flattered open to meet mine, lips curling into a dissatisfied frown. "Why'd you stop?" She asked her fingers tenderly caressing the nape of my neck. See this is what always got me hooked onto this girl. Her sensual lips. Her piercing gaze and velvety voice. The way she played with her fingers. Everything in general. "I don't want to either, babe," her frown instantly curled upwards into a smile at the pet name given to her, "but I have to get to class."

"Why can't you bunk it?" I sighed capturing a stray strand of her hair in between my fingers as I twirled it around. "I can't. I already bunked four classes already." I said gently pushing her off me and getting up. Her gaze glowered at my outstretched hand, lips pulled into a childish pout. I shrugged picking up my bag and brushing off the grass stuck to my uniform. If she wanted to play like that then so be it. I wasn't about to plead with her to get up and get to class.

"Meet up second break." I called over my shoulder as I climbed up the cobbled stairs that led to the upper field. I honestly could never understand girls. With a shake of my head I trudged forward. The journey to the hall was going to be a long one.

Luka

The palette of stripped-back rhythms, demanding tom rolls and driving Zulu chants had me close to breaking out on a freestyle dance. The repetitive "bang, bang, bang." had me losing my mind. "Ah mfethu ebhenga lento!" I exclaimed patting his arm in praise. He grinned muttering a quick 'thank you'. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw a big fella emerging from a corner heading to the hall. "Hey I'll be back." I said quickly, dashing after my main man, Asef. Cupping my hands around my mouth I called out his name causing him to halt and look my way.

Quickening my pace I noticed how frenzied he looked. But who am I kidding, the guy looks frenzied all the time. "Where you off too, bro?" I asked clasping my hand in his in common greeting. "Gotta get my act going on." He said glancing over to the hall. "Heard you been getting some action lately." I said raising my eyebrows suggestively as I thrust my hips in a rhythmic pattern. The look of disgust on his face had me on my knees laughing. "Man, flip off." He said rushing off to the hall.

"Dawg, can't you take a joke!?" I yelled out.

"Get to class!" Was what I heard before the harsh slam of the door. What a hypocrite. Adjusting my beanie I went back to enjoying my jams as Small and I walked to our next period.

Timothy

I flinched at the loud slam of the door that came from the back of the hall. It was probably 'Sef. My suspicions were confirmed by the heavy accented voice that interrupted the girls' play.

"Sorry I'm late!" The giggles from the row of chairs in front had me stifling a laugh of my own. Ms. Honey glared harshly at the crude interruption, gesturing for him to take a seat before returning her attention to the register and scribbling whatever she scribbles. "Sorry girls. You may continue." And so they did that and the two bodies in front turned back just as Asef took a seat beside me. "Don't. Please." Athena feigned surprise glancing at her companion, Sora. "We weren't gonna ask anything. I swear. Right, Sora?" The girl with the box braids backed her up as she nodded. "Right. We were just wondering what Timothy thinks about Kamo's act." She said as they both turned their attention to me.

Honestly, it wasn't all that bad but seeing as how Asef is clearly annoyed by their presence I shrugged earning a rude comment from Athena as she turned to the front. Sora on the other mouthed an apology that I accepted graciously. I always wondered how she put up with the girl sat next to her. Only God knows I guess. "So busy with Kara again?" I got a grunt as a response.

"Cool." Just then the class erupted in applause, a few wolf whistles and laughs as the girls got off stage, all bashful. Ms. Honey smiled sweetly at them before turning her gaze to her clipboard. "Next up is group 6." I flinched once again as Athena and her pals panicked in front of us. Asef chuckled as Seth whispered something into his ear.

Well this is gonna be interesting.

Seth

"Shaun, I won't be of help go to your Aunt and apologise to her." Sora said as Latita aka Shaun nodded hesitantly. "O-okay, Mom. I'll try." Her fake deep voice brought me close to laughter while Ms. Honey shushed the people that slipped a few giggles out. Athena emerged from behind the curtains pacing back and forth whilst muttering incoherent curses. A knock came from behind the curtains causing Athena to pause abruptly. "Noah please get the door for me, sweetheart!" She said Malique aka Noah rushing to 'open' the door.

Latita came from behind the curtains twiddling her fingers in fear. "Um Auntie. I'm sorry for sneaking out last night." Athena blinked once than twice before a creepy smile bloomed from her lips. Gosh how can she still look so beautiful "Oh my dearest boy! You're sorry?" Latita nodded. "Is my boy sorry?" Athena cooed earning another nod from Latita. "Auntie forgives you, okay? Come give Auntie a hug." Latita glanced around anxiously before being squashed into a tight embrace.

Athena let go before proclaiming that she's going out not before sneakily taking a knife with her. I gently chuckled at the butter knife clasped in between her fingers before being shushed by Ms. Honey. Geez woman.

"Ya! Today I'll kill you! I'll kill you al-" Then it all happened. It was like someone hit a slow-motion button. A black disfigured thing that appeared out of nowhere came from beyond the walls it's eyes focused on the frozen Athena before an abnormally huge smile stretched across it's nonexistent lips.

"Gotcha." It said before slamming into her body and sending her flying across the hall. Her back hitting against the wall harshly. That's when the class went into panic mode.
