Grey POV
◇◇◇
"Crashing here again , today ?" I look up to Tony
"I'll leave in some time " I shrug at him
"You got a girl?" He chuckles at me ,as he notices the sweater Laine left behind today back at s hook
Damn , she looked like a firefly when she threw that sweater over me , on to my lap
Her cheeks flushed , same as her top shade
She's hot and beautiful
I don't see any reasons why those girls to call her ugly or for her to keep quiet about it
She fights me but why not them ?
"It's nobody " as I zip my bag , putting her sweater inside
"I know " he gives me another smile
"Here " he hands me over some money
I take it but my eyes are raised , confused
"I'll cut it from your final commission
Nate told your pretty broke
So keep it " he walks over , rolling some weed into a cigarette
"Need one ?" He asks
I take it
Don't say no , to anything that can induce your system
And obviously to money
"There are so many pieces here
Why that ?"he points at the motorbike I'm working on
It's broken to the extend , it takes a village to fix it and put it back to work
"It satisfies me " I light the cigarette
"It satisfies me that , no matter how broke it looks
It still can be fixed one day
And the point that , one day it will not be broken like it is today "
Even though it may sound naive or doesn't make any sense
There's is a something, in fixing broken things with a hope that it will be okay
I walk away , picking my bag pack
All ready to leave
"Wait a minute " I stop at Tony's voice
"Here " he throws a set of key's at me
"The bike , out there
You can keep it "
"Really ?" I ask him, surprised
"Yeah , i don't need it anyway
But careful huh
Don't tell your dad , i gave you that bike "he laughs
"Pick the helmets from the car trunk "
I start the bike , and the sound echoes in the air
Damn , this is sexy
My phone rings and I frown when I see Rebecca's name
She was good
For one single f**k
But not every day
I cut the call , I almost loose my chill when my phone rings again
But it's a email notification
I just scroll it till the end
PROJECT
BUSINESS
PROFESSOR Rob Smith
I frown
I didn't turn up to the class today , and they send me a project email?
But her name flashes in front of my screen
Team - H
Grey Emerson
Laine Summers
Holy f**k
We both are in one team , and we need to work together
I laugh at the thought
It's going to be intresting
Laine
I smirk at the thought of her , now where will she run from me?
*****************************************************
Laine POV
¤¤¤¤
"Mr.Rob can I have a minute , please ?" I walk behind the professor
I can't believe I'm teamed up with Grey
Fuck me
It's just two of us
"Yes "he stops ,noticing me
"It's regarding the project
I'm in the team H with Mr.Emerson ( I show him the team list for reference)
And I wanted to change the team " I say
But he laughs
"Oh dear, Emerson is a great partner to work with
And moreover , everyone are working in the same team they were since the previous year
You both are new and you people can team up
It will be fine , you need any help just mail me "
With that he walks away
Wait ?
Dickhead
He doesn't even stop for me to speak something in return
Why does everyone should be so hard ?
"Did he change the team ?"Skylar asks me
I nod no at her
"I knew it
He's an asshole
It's hard to convince him
He's a stubborn one.
I don'tknow , how his wife bears him " she shrugs
"Why does things like this?
Happen to me? " I grit my teeth
"Its not that bad
Just divide the work and do your individual part, separately "
Right
Yes
"Yes , your right
I'm going to draw a chart , which requires for the project
And divide it between me and him
I'll make sure , he will never come in my way "
I pick my things as I walk towards the class room
We have English Mrs.Banks
Skylar is in French
So I can sit alone peacefully
"Good Morning
Myself , Mr.Clooney "
I look up , my jaw clenched open
Its Ethan
I just wished , he should take a class for us
And he's here today
If I knew better , I would have wished for better things
"As you all know Mrs.Banks is on her maternity leave
And as her assistant, I'll be covering for her for few weeks
This is going to be more like a blended learning
In sense , you will be assigned with a username set for online courses
Which you will be taking up and later we discuss the same in the class
It's more More like peer learning
Because, I'm still a student too "
His eyes meets mine and he smiles at me but he looks away when someone walks through the for
"Mr.Emerson?
Your late to the class " Ethan says
I see the devil at the door
Why should he be in my class?.out of four sections ?
Grey walks towards Ethan's desk as he puts a slip on the desk
"You can take a seat " Ethan says when he reads the slip
I bet his father wrote him a note
I look down, to avoid the satan
I almost gasp, when I feel his thighs brush against mine as he settles down next to me
Why the hell was I sitting alone again ?
Right
Peace
I needed some peace
"Get out of here " I say
Keeping my voice low
"Wait a minute
Is your name written on the desk
Or you own this furniture ?" He pushes my books down as he eyes the bench , mocking me
"nope
It's not "he smirks at me , staring
"Stay away from me " I move towards the edge of the desk
"Oh come on lai, we are project mates now "he smacks my shoulders , before I could respond anything
"Something bothering you Ms.Summers ?" I look up to Ethan
Whose staring at me and Grey
"We are fine
You can continue " Grey pulls me ,closer to him
But I raise my voice , standing up
"No , I'm not fine
Can I sit else where Mr.Clooney ?"
