Previously: He took a seat next to me and I immediately saw it on his face.

"Oh dear who did this to you?"

"It's nothing" Zac shrugged it off as usual. Everything was nothing to him. However, to me it was something.

"Let me see it up close turn a little" he thankfully obliged and gave me a better look of the bruise under his eye.

"Who did this to you?"

"I'll fight" Rue said.

"What happened man?I'll knock them out" Lucas chimed in.

"Guys this is not how we solve a problem"

"Bullshit" Rue.

"How else?"Lucas.

"Guys it's nothing. I got into a fight with Matt and 2 of his friends and a teacher broke the fight."

"Well did you at least hit them back?" Rue asked.

"I did"

"How bad?"

"I don't know I hit back but a punch landed on my face. Thankfully it wasn't my nose I hate nosebleeds"

"I don't think anyone likes nosebleeds" Lucas enlightened us.

"Not the point" Zac said.

"Do you want me to get you some ice?" I asked Zac after Rue and Lucas started blabbing about something I didn't care about.

"No I'm fine"

"Does it hurt?" I touched it carefully and he flinched a bit. "Sorry"

"It doesn't hurt much but it's annoying"

"Do you want me to kiss it better?" I half joked and it worked. He smiled.

"I don't think we should display affection in public here whilst Scarlet's incident aftermath is still fresh"

"I know, I just wanted to see you smile"

"I fucking love you so much" he whispered to me from a distance.

"We heard that" Rue and Lucas said, then continued their banter. I still didn't understand how their relation works.

I noticed that Zac didn't have anything to eat, and he didn't buy anything and looked like he wasn't going to.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"No I don't feel like it. Plus I don't have enough time to go buy food and come back to eat it"

"Here" I pushed my tray between us. "We'll share"

"Fuck the students" He said before kissing me full on. Honestly that was the bravest thing I've ever seen Zac do.

"What was that for? Not that I mind" Zac's kisses gave me life.

"Because you're the most considerate person ever with small things you don't even notice but I love them and I love you and fuck the world because you're mine"

"I hate to break it to you but by next Wednesday I probably won't"

"Fuck your dad you're mine now"

"So now I'm a property huh" to be honest, I didn't mind being Zac's property. I mean it's Zac. Isaac Grayson. Why would I not want to be? Like fuck yes I'm his back off bitches.

"You're mine. And I'm yours for that matter so don't you even think about it otherwise"

I didn't know how my eyes landed on Rue and Lucas. They were both looking at us in a cheesy way I hated them so much.

"Oh stop being bitches and eat your damn food" Zac told them off.

"Speaking of bitches" Rue said.

"Look at the little love birds having a nice meal together aww" Scarlet said sarcastically. Even her voice had a bitchy pitch was that even possible? You could literally tell she's a bitch if she was singing the alphabet and that was not okay.

"What do you want" Zac subtly asked.

"I just wanted to congratulate you. That was really a courageous thing to do. Just wanted to remind you" she pointed at him suggestively, "and all of you" she pointed at each of us separately, "That I always get what I want, and I leave my mark while doing it. They don't call me Scar in vain" she winked at me and I just wanted to push a corn cob down her throat.

"You're not getting what you want. It's just that I don't want what I wanted before." Zac sassed, and I didn't know what were they talking about at this point. "Does it really make you happy that you got what you won in that way?"

"Um I got what I want didn't I?" she twirled a lock of her hair and flicked it back. And does she ever take off the cheerleader outfit? That shit looks uncomfortable as fuck.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night" Zac said before taking a bite of my apple.

She finally left us in peace.

"What was that all about?" Rue asked.

"Yeah I was going to ask the same question" I said.

Zac's cool demeanour wasn't as cool as it was before.

"You'll know later" What was with his mysterious stuff today? GEEZ.

"TellmeTellmeTellmeTellme-"

"No stop it Rue"

"Ugh lame" she shrugged.

<><><><>
Two more classes after lunch period, the bell announced the end of the day, minus the last classes. Art for me and PE for Zac. We usually tag along until he has to go separate ways to reach the gym, and sometimes the field, which is also accessible through the gym.

We packed up our things and went out in a crowd of students who couldn't wait to leave class.

"Uh Zac. Gym is that way" I pointed in the direction Zac wasn't going in.

"Yeah I know. I have something to do at the vice principal's office."

"Should I wa--"

"No don't wait for me" he said as he disappeared in between students.

"This is weird as fuck" I thought.

"You're thinking out loud again" Rue laughed a crazy laugh as she passed behind me.

I started my tiresome two minutes journey to Arts class.

Ms. Parks was cheerful as ever. She was wearing really light clothes for a town with a weather like this. I guess people here just get used to it or something.

I took my place in my station and gotten my tools ready, as the others started to do so too.

Ms Parks clapped twice, "Ok class!"  she was really perky, "I have some news for you!"

I noticed that next to my station was another two empty stations that weren't there before. It's obvious that they're newly added.

"We have a new student that joined our class!" she cheered just as the knocks landed on the door. She opened it and chirped "This is Zac Grayson our newest Picasso!"

What. The. Fuck.

Zac took the few steps to his station that was next to mine. I stepped out of mine and went to his instantly.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked him vigorously. Then sneaked a small kiss. Then frowned again.

"I'm the new Picasso keep up!"

"You can't just do that"

"I can and I did"

"But what about football"

"I quit the team"

"YOU WHAT?"

"Evan" Ms. Parks hissed at me. She then continued helping others who still didn't know how to get their tools right. How hard could that be?

"I figured if Scarlet wanted Matt to be team captain that bad. And I know Scarlet would not just let it go easily. Plus I don't like half of the new team members. So I don't really see a reason to stay. PLUS your class is much more relaxed and inspiring."

"I can't believe you. Actually. Yes this is better. This is safer and no football injuries. I approve"

"Then why were you yelling a while earlier?"

"Well I was shocked"

"Now that the shock is gone, are you gonna teach me how to paint or you're just gonna sit there and show off your skills?"

"I'm Raiden's tutor so I sadly can't."

"Oh no I already thought of that."

As if it was on cue, the door knocked and Rue entered, giving the teacher a piece of paper, then sliding into the other station.

"Just so you know I'm gonna fucking kill you both for this" She threatened us before starting to sort out her tools.

"Well my dear Evan, now Raiden can have a partner, she's really good"

"I CAN'T DRAW A FUCKING STICK FIGURE HOW AM I GOOD YOU LYING ASSHAT"

"shhh art is creativity, just be creative with your brush as you're creative with your- actually never mind" she glared at him so hard and now I wanted to know what's she creative with.

Needless to say, Raiden looked so sad about it that even Zac told me to go help him instead. I was just pacing back and forth between all of them while trying to pay attention to the teacher's notes. But it was fun. We were all having fun for once.
