user wait don't you guys think that this child looks kinda similar to @niolasilvers

user after looking at niola's page, i've decided that this is either her sister or her daughters

user this kid is DEF related to that niola chick

user you guys saw one pic of a child and figured out her entire family tree

matt stares at the back of niola's head, tempted to throw something at the curls. the only thing preventing him from doing so is the way she's lying down. her side of her head is resting on the inside of her elbow as she watches the teacher. matt watches as her eyes close every few minutes and she falls asleep for a while before jolting awake.

this concerns him. niola is never this tired at school. she's always sitting up straight, facing the teacher like the most perfect student imaginable. but here she is, falling asleep in class.

he watches closely as she jolts awake again. she sits up, straightening her back and facing forward. but before long, she's leaning her cheek on her hand – which turns into her arm. and now she's sleeping again.

"miss silvers," the teacher – miss elsher – calls out. but niola doesn't answer. how could she? she's sleeping. "silvers!" miss elsher repeats, raising her voice at the sleeping girl. when she notices that niola is sleeping, she picks up a large textbook. she then walks over to niola and drops the book flat onto the desktop, making niola jump from the sudden noise.

"huh?" niola asks, looking around and noticing that everyone is looking at her. she connects the dots and realizes that she had fallen asleep. a couple people in the class begin to chuckle at her, but instantly shut up when matt shoots them the deadliest glare he can muster. "oh, i'm sorry. i didn't get much sleep last–"

"save your excuses. class is over in less than a minute anyway." miss elsher interrupts her harshly before grabbing the text book and walking back over to the front of the class. niola places her face in her hands, groaning as the bell rings.

suddenly, she feels a tap on her shoulder. she peeks through her fingers to look at the person and recognizes him instantly. matthew.

"did you hear the bell? or did you sleep through that too?" he asks, raising a brow at her strange behavior. niola sighs before standing up from her chair and slinging her backpack over her shoulder and pushing past matt.

he wanted to ask her if she was okay. if everything was good with rayne. but he couldn't bring himself to ask anything of the sort – so he stuck with their usual banter, hoping it would make her act like her normal self again. but instead he was pushed aside and left standing alone beside her empty desk.

maybe making fun of her wasn't the best idea.

on his way to the cafeteria, matt passes the hallway where niola's locker is located. out of genuine curiosity, he glances down the hall. he quickly notices her, shoving a few books into her locker. moments later, he sees zade approaching her. instinctively, matt begins to walk toward them. but before he can get even a step closer to them, niola speaks up.

"i'm not in the fucking mood today." she snaps, slamming her locker door and shoving past zade the same way she shoved past matt earlier. the sudden attitude makes zade's eyes widen. matt's too. she continues walking, ignoring matt as she passes him while she exits the hallway.

matt quickly runs over, catching up with her.

"hey," matt says as he's now walking right beside her. "do you want to go to the library with me during lunch? we can study for the project."

"sure," she mumbles in response. with that, the two of them walk to the library in silence.

matt continuously sends weary glances over at her, yearning to say something to her – but once she looks back at him, he gives up. the eye contact makes him nervous and he completely forgets what he was initially planning to say.

normally, he can hold eye contact pretty well. but something about niola is just off today. she's extremely tired and she has an attitude on top of that – the two emotions mix into one scary expression on her face. and matt would prefer to stay on her good side as much as possible to avoid being attacked.

when they enter the library, niola doesn't hesitate to walk over to her usual table. matt watches as she sits down, but doesn't sit with her until after he picks out a few books on the topic they're working on. on any other day, he would have asked niola to help him grab the books. but he doesn't want to be the fuse to the bomb – the bomb being her eventually yelling at him for something.

matt pulls out the chair beside niola's and plops down in the seat, stacking the books he chose onto the tabletop.

"how do you want to begin?" matt asks, grabbing one of the books and flipping to a random page and beginning to skim through the words. niola shrugs, slumping down onto the table. she puts her head face down on the table, her arm working as a pillow. matt notices this and quickly puts a stop to it. "nope, nope, nope. you're not sleeping through our study time."

niola groans, waving his hand away from her before saying in a groggy voice, "fine. i'm awake. i'm awake. i'm awake."

matt isn't stupid – he can tell that she isn't actually fully awake. but he gives up on trying to reason with her. instead, he begins to read the book aloud. he gets through about four pages before he realizes that niola hasn't said anything in a while. matt looks up from the book and sees her fast asleep.

her face is pointing toward him, her head resting on her crossed arms. matt takes off his jacket and gently picks up her head, sliding the jacket under her. she shifts a bit in her sleep, getting comfortable again. instantly, he can tell that the jacket is a much more comfortable pillow than her arms.

he continues to stare at her as she lays there.

her skin is lit up by the morning sunlight that pours from the window behind him, turning her skin a beautiful shade of dark golden. her hair shimmers in the same light as her skin as it pools around her face and the table. her eyes move under their lids as she dreams of something more entertaining than what matt had been reading to her. the curve of her nose brings all of her features together in the direct center of her face. right below it is her mouth. her lips are parted just the tiniest bit, making them look soft and kissable-

matt suddenly shakes his head, ridding his mind of such thoughts. he stands up from his chair as quietly as possible – making sure he doesn't wake her. then he begins to put the books back on their shelves, watching her in the corner of his eye.

silently making sure nothing bad can ever happen to her while he's there.
