Tuesday.

The rest of the day was spent by Margaux sleeping. Zachary had took her home and Beatrix saw it since she was the one who opened the door, she was about to bug her sister about him but she waved her off and went directly to her room.

Wednesday.

"Margaux, Margaux!" Beatrix shook the life out of Margaux, they were about to be late, again. Yes, THEY since Beatrix was also experiencing a hangover, both of them actually. Well, partially was to bug her sister about the guy that had took her sister home yesterday.

"Ughh" Margaux groaned as she rolled to the side and fell out of her bed

"Karma" she heard Beatrix say, she rolled her eyes and pulled herself up while stretching her minion-like arms

"Soooo, who was that guy?" Beatrix pulled Margaux's stretched up arms to pull her entirely up

"Who?" She went to the bathroom to take a quick shower

"You know, that guy with a fancy car" Beatrix opened the shower curtain to see her sister, which earned her a whack in the head with a shampoo bottle

"Go away Beatrix, you " Margaux closed the curtain again and resumed showering

"Pfft, " Beatrix gave up and went out from the bathroom

"Hmm" Margaux runs her fingers thru her hair as flashbacks of yesterday plays in her mind, that Zachary was really something, I mean he's a stranger but it felt like they both have known each other for years

"Margaux! Quit thinking about him and get your out here!"

"I wasn't, off!" Margaux shook her head and stepped out of the shower then changed quickly and ran down

"Oh hey mom!" She kissed her mom's cheek

"Hello darling, have a sit, eat" before Margaux could even sit, she was dragged by Beatrix out the kitchen

"Hey! I wasn't even able to eat, I'm hung-" Margaux was complaining until Beatrix pushed a sandwich in

"Bye mom, we're late!" Beatrix bid goodbye before closing the door behind them and opened the car

"What's the rush?" Margaux mumbled as she got in the front seat and buckled her seatbelt

"We're late " Beatrix rolled her eyes at her and started the engine, Margaux checked the time in her phone: 7:45 am

"Oh, we're late indeed"

"Thanks for noticing" Beatrix said sarcastically and stepped on the gas that sent Margaux flying back. As soon as they parked the car, both of them parted ways and went running to their respective buildings until Margaux bumped into someone who was also running in front of her and they both fell froward with her on top of the student's back.

"Oh my " she cursed as she rolls off from the student, who was also groaning in pain, Margaux knew it was her fault so she stood up and offered her hand

"I'm really really sorry, I was in a hurry since I was late and-"

"Margaux with an x? Is that you?" Margaux looked down to see Zachary who was rubbing his knees

"Zachary? What?" Margaux was surprised to see him and he took her outstretched hand and pulls his self up

"Oh hey" he smiled at her and dusts himself

"But why are you here?" She looked at him suspiciously

"Uh, because I'm a student and I study here?" He looked at her weirdly

"But I've never seen you before, how is that possible?"

"I just transferred here, and I was running late so"

"Late, yeah me too. Wait, we're so ing late! See you later" Margaux left him and ran up to her room, praying to the heavens that their prof has not yet arrived but she was too late, their prof was already inside. She momentarily stopped outside the room and fixed her hair when she sees Zachary who was also running and stopped outside the room

"Why are you following me?!" Margaux semi-whispered semi-shouted at him, who was bend down with his hands on his knees

"What? I wasn't and my class is at this room" he was panting, she was about to ask more questions when their prof caught them and called them in. Margaux was so dead, she knows it when she meets their prof's piercing eyes

"Why are you late Margaux Lee?" Her prof started, her palms were sweating and she kept on wiping it at the hem of her shirt, when she was about to answer, Zachary beat her through it

"Hello prof, I would like to apologize. I saw her outside the gate and kept asking her for directions with this and that, then we both realized late that we were classmates in this first period" Zachary said smoothly that their prof seemed to buy it

"And you are?"

"Zachary Wang, a transferee from Burnaby Univ" and with that, their prof changed from a furious devil to a welcoming angel real quick, their prof moved besides Zachary and shooed Margaux to her seat

"Thanks" she mouthed to Zachary as soon as she got to her seat and he winked at her in return, she then acted to vomit at his actions. While their prof and Zachary were conversing, she heard some of the students murmuring to each other on how 'hot' he was, Margaux shook her head laughed lightly. Zachary? Hot? No way.

"Hey" Zachary sat next to her

"What are you doing there?" She looked at him with her brow raised

"Do what?"

"Why are you sitting next to me?"

"Because I like" he shrug and faced forward, literally ignoring Margaux's protests

"But steph sits there!"

"Prof told me it's okay so shh, I'm trying to learn here" he put his hand over to stop her from talking more

"Get your hand off" she was able to pull his hand away and groaned, it's not that she doesn't want him to sit there, it's that steph, her bff since fetus, sits there.

It was physics time and Margaux hates this piece of crap, she rubbed her temples as she try to take in all those words and mathematical equations written in the board and her hang over wasn't helping, she gets more dizzy by the time so she decides to take a quick nap with her head faced side wards and away from Zachary.

"Margaux" Zachary called out as he poked her side but she didn't budge

"Margaux with an x" he poke more and Margaux couldn't take it so she faced him with her head side ways and still on her desk

"What the hell do you want?"

"We're partnered up and we need to answer this problem" Zachary was showing her a piece of paper

"No, thanks. I won't waste my time explaining why or how a ing ball rolls" she then turned her head again, away from him but Zachary pulled her up by her shoulders

"It's not an option, this is a must" he said and put the paper at the center of the table so that they could see and solve the problem

"Ugh, I ing hate this" she groans after she read the problem

"What's to hate? This is just simple, plus the equations are given and-"

"Say this is simple one more time and I'm not doing it" Margaux raised her finger at him and he couldn't help but laugh at how silly she was

"Okay, okay. This is complex but"

"No buts!"

"Okay, whatever. So, let's just calculate the time of travel of the ball from its initial position to its final position with some given conditions" and blah blah, Margaux wasn't really listening since Zachary was answering the whole thing by himself but he was showing it to her, he was teaching her

"And that's how we get the distance" Margaux looked at him in awe

"You're pretty good with this " she pats his back and he chuckles

"Why do you keep saying that?"

"Saying what?"

"s, and s, and hell" she was taken aback, she never knew he'd notice it

"Hello?" Zachary waved his hands in front of her face

"W-what? Oh nothing" she shook her head and shifted her position so that she was facing forward, her palms were beginning to sweat again and those voices came back, it echoed in her head.

"Hey, you okay?" Zachary touched her shoulder and she snapped back into reality and the voices were gone

"Ah, yeah" she nodded and sighed, she thought it was going to happen again but luckily it didn't

"You sure?"

"Yeah"

"Well, okay then. Let's eat lunch together, the bell rang moments ago" Zachary stood up while rubbing his stomach

"Oh okay" Margaux grabbed her bag and followed Zachary from behind when she spots her sister from afar so she grabbed the straps of Zachary's bag, stopping him from his tracks

"There's a shortcut, let's go this way" she pulled him to the opposite direction from where her sister was because she knew how that would react, but on the other hand, she was still surprised to see Zachary in her school. I mean, why here out of all?

"Margaux?"

"Uh yes?" She stopped and look at him

"You're literally dragging and choking me" he said while pointing her hand still on the strap of his bag

"Whoops, sorry" she smiled sheepishly and continued walking their way in the 'shortcut' that she created
