Chapter 43: Chapter 43

Quinnel's POV

"Jake? Oh come on!" I heard beside me and I looked down to Heaven who was staring wide eyed at the door.

I looked up to see the guy waving at her with a smile tugging on his lips. I raised a brow at this.

Did they know each other?

"Is he someone you know?" I asked her and she nodded her head absentmindedly.

I saw her eyes was still trained on the new guy that was now making his way here.

I frowned at him when I saw him wink at Heaven before he stopped in front of us.

"Hi there." He greeted and Heaven blinked at him before snorting.

"What are you doing here? And most importantly, why are you in that uniform?" She asked and he grinned before moving his brow up and down.

"I attend your school now, Navaeh."

"No! How did you know my name?"

"I have my ways." He replied his grin broader and his eyes twinkling with delight.

Who is this guy?

"Wizard." Heaven muttered and he pouted.

"Don't worry... I'll teach you a few tricks if you're that jealous." He said and she scoffed at him turning her to the other side.

"Introduce us." I heard suddenly and I turned my head to Ashley who whispered a little bit louder to Heaven.

"You heard the girl, introduce yourself and tell them how I'm not in any way acquainted to you!"

She stomped her foot with an hmph and turned around walking away. Then she stopped and faced back with a glare directed at the new kid.

"Oh yeah, By the way... And all thanks to you, I had a mild headache yesterday night!" She spat and turned around stomping her way out of the hallway.

"Is she fine?" I heard him ask and I rolled my eyes.

Did she even look sick? Dude, you need a glasses?

"Do you need a pair of glasses?" I asked him sarcastically and he nodded.

"Oh you have? Yes please, I forgot mine at home."

I blinked at him before I turned to Zaire who was pursing his lips to not laugh at me.

"I was also joking." We heard and that was all it took for Zaire to burst out laughing pointing his index finger at me.

"Ha. Ha. Very funny." I said grumpily.

"Oh right... I'm Jacob. Jacob Sanders. But my friends call me Jake so please, feel free to call me Jake. Pleasure to make your acquaintance." He said stretching his palm at me.

Not wanting to appear rude even though I didn't like the guy, I accepted it.

"Quinnel. Quinnel Ashford." I intentionally made my voice deeper and that only set fuel to the burning fire of dear ol Zaire's laugh.

Stupid boy.

Ashley pushed me away to look at the bou fully a grin on her face. I thought she was gay!

"Ashley. Ashley Hemple."

"Nice to meet you. You're beautiful by the way." He said and she blushed.

"Thank you."

Jake raised his brow at the laughing Zaire and I shook my head telling him not to mind the dude.

"What was that supposed to mean?" Zaire asked smacking my hand suddenly not interested in laughing again.

This dude is going crazy!

"I'm Zaire. Zaire Hemple." He stuck his hand to shake Jake and he accepted it.

"Jake... Hold on Hemple?" He asked and Zaire nodded slowly.

"She's also Hemple." He said pointing his hand at Ashley.

"And?" I asked to see if he was smart.

"Are you guys related in any way?" He asked pointing at both of them.

"We're twins." Ashley said finally.

"Woah! That's like... Woah! Mind-blowing! Shit!"

"Well, he's a loud one." I muttered.

I turned my head to see the class that Heaven disappeared into.

"I'll go ahead guys. See you later", I greeted hugging Zaire.

"Bye!" Ashley squeaked and I tilted my head before I waved at her.

My head briefly turned and I saw Jake smiling at my head. Dude, stop that.

"You look like a joker." I mumbled and with that I walked away.

Looking into each classes, I tried to catch sight of Heaven's hair or maybe her back but to no avail.

I was about to give up and look elsewhere when I heard humming. I pushed my head back into the class I had just stuck my head into to see her walking out of a closet.

She placed the beakers on the table and started dancing to the beat playing on her earphones.

I watched as she twisted her body, turning around and yet she didn't see me. I brought out my phone with a smile and started filming.

"By giving me nothing!" She yelled bobbing her head to the music and I raised my brow when she stopped standing still.

Then suddenly she started dancing like a crazy person. She brought her hand up and started behaving like she was holding a guitar. Like she was at a concert. A rock concert.

She strummed the strings of her invisible guitar while bobbing her head to the music.

She stopped and took a deep breath. I guess the song had finished as she pulled out her phone from the pocket of her cardigan and tapped the screen.

I realized I was still filming as I brought my phone down and I saved it. I looked up again to see her now staring at me wide eyed.

"Well, time to run. Bye!" I yelled and turned around.

"Hey, Ashford!" She yelled after me and I paused.

"Stop right there you stupid boy."

"You dance really well. You've got a nice butt." I added and she glared at me before I winked.

I turned around and ran to my class.

Author's POV

Navaeh stared in pure shock as her mouth hung open an egg could could fit in it perfectly. She had just danced her head away without even pausing to look at her surrounding. She didn't even know when he entered the class!

Jake watched as Quinnel ran away from Navaeh and he looked back to her. She sighed and then raised her hand up. He walked to her sneakily from behind her with the hopes of scaring her not prepared for what he was to face instead.

She held her face in her hand in sheer embarrassment and she felt someone hang their arm around her neck.

Thinking it was the guy that ran away from her, she elbowed his stomach and said "Hah!" With a grin before the expression fell at the sight of the poor boy clutching his stomach.

It wasn't Quinnel!
