"I like dares." I smiled sweetly at him "A little study session never harmed anyone, Lurch."

There was something lethal building up in his eyes. Like a storm about to ruin the whole world. Large arms crept along my waist, and he ensnared me in his embrace as he started speaking lowly.

His words were a dark promise "If you go near him then he will be unrecognisable after I am done with him."

"It is wholly innocent. I am genuinely trying to help him in English." I affirmed in the form of an exasperated sigh "Have you not ever had someone over to your house and in your room just to read? It is not heated stuff."

His smirk went malicious as he spoke "I have had a small green haired girl in my room, and it was heated stuff."

Touché to the mammoth.

I turned away, my face going a beetroot colour.

Stone then remembered something because he turned his neck quickly to the side so he could gnarl out "He is not coming to your house."

"Whatever." I tutted, having the urge to go and sit next to Chase just to spite him.

He let out a deep breath before his shoulders relaxed from their previous tensed state. He did not remove his hand from my waist and instead moved me closer until one of my legs hitched up onto his.

His relaxed state was short-lived when Lana pointed to the other boy that was making his way to the table.

"Ella, look who it is." She pointed towards the scrawny boy with curly brown hair.

"Who is it?" Brennan asked.

"Biology Boy." Lana and I said at the same time.

"What the fuck is a Biology Boy?" A deep voice interjected.

We called him Biology Boy because we had no idea what his name was. All we knew is that he liked to talk to me all period when we were in biology.

"He likes Ella." Lana quietly informed them "He even got a little excited when he had to put her into the Heimlich Manoeuvre."

A deep bang hit the lunch table and shook it like an erupting volcano.

I cringed at the memory.

The problem was that Biology Boy could not take the hint and see that I was uninterested. He was a really nice guy, and I did not have the heart to be mean to him but it was hard to gently let him down.

I needed something to scare him away.

Then it clicked. I was sitting next to the scariest person on the planet, and he just happened to be in a foul mood at that moment in time.

Biology Boy smiled at me and spoke in his high-pitched voice "Hey Ella, would I be able to borrow some of your notes for biology? I wasn't able to jot them all down."

I nodded "Sure. Let me just get them out of my bag."
