16 Chapter 16 (2/2)
”New girl, there is another war then waiting for you.”
”Huh?”
”You see new girl, Jessie is also wanted by many.”
”Okay.”
”We are very late, we need to go class.” Karly said.
Skylar looked at her watch and saw that they were half an hour late. She got up abruptly, and she and Karly made their way to the classroom.
When they got there, Karly got in first and she was behind her. Thank heavens the teacher hadn't said anything not that she expected her to say anything to her.
When Skylar looked up, she encountered, Reign's gaze.
He had a question in his eyes, but she looked away, not wanting to be in the same predicament she was in just now.
She took her seat. And took out her books.
”Where were you?” Reign said to Karly.
”I was out and about.” Karly replied,
The teacher got up, ”Now that you are all here. There is a huge assignment for English.”
Skylar took out her journal to write down the due date.
”It's due in three weeks and you will be doing it in groups with the people who are sitting next to you. So you will be in three's.”
Skylar felt as if they had punched her, what the hell? She would be working with Reign and Karly. No, this can't be happening. She wanted to protest or swap a group, but she knew no-one would want to. Who wants to be a third wheel?
The teacher gave one of the students papers to hand out, when we got one neither Reign nor Karly seemed interested it what it said.
Skylar took the paper and started to read it through, she felt Reign's hot breath on her neck. She turned to him, ”I will give it to you when I am done.”
”It's cool, I prefer reading it like this.” He replied.
Skylar wanted to panic. She knew Karly would be watching, so she held out the paper to Karly. Who looked shocked.
”You guys can now read it.”
”No. Thanks.”Karly sneered.
Skylar held it out for Reign,
”It's fine the way we were reading it.” Reign said.
”I am done, so you can read it yourself.”
Reign took the paper and after five minutes he put it down.
”What's your number?” Reign said to her.
”My number? Why?”
Reign laughed a bit, ”For the assignment, we have to meet up and all.”
Skylar felt embarrassed that she had thought more of it. It was a simple gesture and she had blown it out of proportion.
”Okay.”
She told him his number, and she peeked at Karly who didn't seem to care but Skylar knew she was putting up a front.
”When do you want to start?”
”Anytime.” Karly replied.
”When do you want us to start?” Reign replied.
”As soon as possible would be great, so that we can revise it and get more feedback. So, I would say that tomorrow afternoon would be great.”
”Cool.” Reign said.
”Fine by me.” Karly replied.
Before she could ask when they could meet the bell rang.She would just have to tell them tomorrow or on the group chat.
Skylar looked at her journal and saw that the next class was Math.
