Playfully tapping Gwen's desk, Nik walked past her and sat behind her while whispering, ”Thanks for putting in a good word for Brandon,” He breathed lightly while placing his literature textbook on the side-handed desk as Gwen yawned for a second before nodding listlessly. ”So, your father's a hero for two days now. Sucks for a weekend, I suppose,” Nik continued, making Gwen grunt a sigh, ”Not in the mood, really...” leaning her head down and covering her head with her hands, Gwen continued to groan while Nik shrugged and looked sidewards, ”Hey, Amy, how's it going?” Nik smiled while gazing at the local belle of the class with her dark brown hair dyed with the slightest hint of orange from the tip as she raised her eyebrows before smiling.
”Nothing much, really,” She tapped her book with her pen's nib before speaking while taking the strand of her bang into her fingers, ”Say, you've got good scores in literature. Can you help me learn stuff?” She inquired as Nik shrugged, ”We can start now.” Nik leaned towards her direction as she took a deep breath. The blonde guy sitting behind Nik, Lopez, rolled his eyes and tapped Nik's back, ”Bro, can you not do that?” Tilting sidewards to look back, Nik inquired with a smirk, ”What shouldn't I do?”
”Talk to my girl like you both are a thing.”
”Of course, not.” Nik shrugged, ”Amy just wanted to learn literature... nothing wrong with that but I suggest you get your insecurities checked up. Would go a long way,” Nik whispered with a frivolous expression, making a tick mark appear on Lopez as Gwen groaned and turned back, hissing, ”Lopez, beat it! You, too, Amy. You can't study Shakespeare with that grammar correction guidance,” Gwen gave the brunette a stink eye as Nik sniffed softly.
”Oh, you did have an adventurous weekend. Finally opened your dad's treasure, huh?” Nik inquired while leaning forward. ”It's still illegal for you to drink, you know that, right?”
”Shut up! And what are you? A dog? Stop sniffing people.”
”Says the one with stinky breath.”
”Grrr! How did you even hook with Anna? No talent in the speaking department, I now observe.”
”Well, daddy's girl, I ain't trying to pick you up,” Nik chuckled as Gwen lost her mood to continue the topic. ”I don't know the rage for alcohol. Tastes... bitter,” Gwen mumbled as Nik poked Gwen on the back of her neck, ”Hey, come with me. I'll make up for that wedgie today.”
Instantly turning back with a deathly glare, Gwen hissed in a hushed voice, ”We are never talking about that. And I am not ditching the class with you!”
The teacher had officially become late for some reason which Nik decided to use and stand up from his seat. ”Come on, I promise it'll be better than your weekend... both days combined.”
Seeing Nik's face, which seemed to have actually grown more charming, if that was possible, Gwen bit her lips and stood up, pulling a few surprised looks from the class as she followed Nik out of the class. It wasn't long before Nik brought her near the baseball team's locker room. ”Hey,” Gwen held Nik's hand before taking her arm back instantly, ”What are we doing here?”
”It's monday, right?” Nik inquired rhetorically, ”I am going to show you... or at least, let you hear the reason why Ms. Harthworth is late every monday,” Nik grinned before softly opening the door of the locker room by the slightest bit, revealing a slightly pudgy woman in green-rimmed glasses pressed against one of the lockers with one of the baseball players named Griffin romping behind passionately. Gwen's gasp was interrupted with Nik pushing his hand over her mouth from behind as he whispered into Gwen's ear a little too sweetly, making her forget about all her past indignations. ”When I say go, we run instantly, got it?” To make sure, Nik held Gwen's palm gingerly before loudly thumping the side of the door with a playful shout.
”FBI! Open up!”
