Drama class...I don't like it even for a bit, there is a time and place to be dramatic but damn theatre kids are on a different level

I was near to the wall and was trying to blend in among the crowd but I was failing since everybody has someone to talk to while we wait for the teacher to come, Aiden was talking to a group of guys who are interested in him joining their group

Aiden looked at them with a weird look "No thanks I think I'm good" he said politely before leaving them without answering any more of their questions

That looks more like an interrogation

He leaned at the wall beside me as we watch many students going on about in their personal lives "Do you remember Pretty Dragon?" He asked me

A chuckle escaped from my chest "Of course I remember!"

Pretty Dragon was a mini school play that we did, it was a story of a dragon who was actually a pretty princess and the white knight liked her for who she is rather than what she looks like. I can still hear the loud applause of many people after the act, I was in the dragon costume along with Cloud and Aiden to make the dragon more flexible as we try to make it move around

Danny of course wants to be the pretty princess so we let her, Aiden pulled out something in his pocket and gave it to me. It was a little toy locket that me and Danny fought over

I don't know why but the locket was really pretty in my eyes when I was a child and now I realised that it was just a piece of molded plastic, Danny also had the same idea so we fought each other over a stupid plastic locket

"You kept it?!" I was surprised that he kept found it after Cloud threw the locket out the window to stop Danny and me from fighting, I tried to search for the locket but it was already gone so I assumed that time that Danny got it first

He gave me a sheepish smile as he put the locket in my hand "I found it in my secret secret box at the back of my closet after I cleaned it out for me to move back to Canada"

My hand touched the locket and a small sad smile showed on my face Such innocent times are gone

"So what am I gonna do with a plastic locket? I can't wear this around the school you know" I giggled as I held up the locket at the small chains, Aiden took the locket out of my hands

"I'll find a way" he mumbled as he shoved it deep in his pocket

The teacher finally arrived and we all read the Les Misèrable story and that we are going to try to act out a scene, it was hard to find a person to do a scene during Drama class

Maybe staying at the penthouse for today wasn't such a bad idea after all

Aiden of course got the spotlight again with his singing skills and during the duration, he was singing and he kept glancing at me

From nervousness, maybe?

I sat at the very back of the crowd as I watch many students wanting to try out singing for the part, it was getting boring for me since I don't have much interest so I walked out of the theatre room

Aiden followed me "Wait, are we skipping class?" He asked excitedly as my hand reached for the double doors that lead out to the main campus

"Yup, can't act or sing so might want to skip that class" I shrugged, sure I want to have good grades but there is a limit that I want to do to reach it

As I walked someone bumped into me and the person was Danny

The worst person I don't want to see. Ever.

"Well if it isn't it Penelope" she crossed her arms and as she glared at me, I returned the glare at her and that made her scoff

"Hey Aiden, haven't seen you in a long time" her eyes were starting to get flirty with him, Aiden though, looks like he is trying to be polite with Danny

Aiden looked down at Danny who was now touching his arm "Why are you acting like this?" He pulled his arm away from her and she looked disappointed

She flipped her hair to the back of her shoulders "I just realized my potential the moment I stopped being friends with Penelope, you should try it sometimes"

Why this bitch

"Aww, did I strike a nerve? Don't worry you're too dumb to understand what I'm saying anyway since everybody knows you are slow" she smirked at me as she walked away and waved to Aiden with an added blow kiss

I took a small pebble from the ground and threw it at the back of her head, she didn't seem affected by it because she didn't want to give me the pleasure of seeing her getting affected

I hope you burn

"Hey Aiden"

He looked at me and tilted his head with one brow raised, my index finger pointed to Danny who is going to walk around the corner of the building

"Can there be a way to kill someone in a civilized manner?"

"Penelope I don't think there is a civilized way of killing someone, besides maybe Danny is just in a phase where she has a God complex" he put his arm on my shoulder

We continued strolling around "You seem to be composed no matter how much people are annoying you"

"Believe me when I say I have met people who are bolder in trying to cross my boundary" he made his hand into a fist and punched the air in one arm

"Can you at least tell me what is going on with you and Cloud? Because the idea of you dating him seems too much to be real" he joked and I lightly shoved h as we walk with a small laugh escaping my mouth

"I can't tell you in full detail but he is tutoring me and I have to sleep beside him on the bed" I explained and he stopped walking, I turned around to look at him and his eyes were dark

"You guys sleep together?" He doesn't seem to believe any of my words, I looked up at the sky and watched a flock of birds fly by "Yes"

"Sounds weird right?" I chuckled as I fixed my hair after a strong wind swept by us, he grabbed my arm and pulled me close to him "You guys didn't do anything right?"

I put my palm to his forehead making him lean back away from me "If we really did something I wouldn't hate Cloud this much, his ego is too strong for me to handle"

He gave out a sigh of relief

"Thanks for concerning about me anyway"

It seems like Aiden wasn't finished talking to me because he pulled me into a secluded area behind a building and we stopped walking when we reached under a tree that could give us some shade from the heat of the sun

"Stop sleeping with Cloud and you could just come to me and I could tutor you" he suggested, after spending time with Cloud and seeing him struggle with himself to fall asleep something within me wanted to help him

"I am smart also too you know, you can stop living with him" he continues to persuade me but I can't accept his offer, he was already too late to ask me because Cloud already got to ask me first
