Krista slammed her Mathematics textbook shut and huffed a puff like the big bad wolf. I laughed and closed my exercise book for Krista. "Too much?"

"Math has never made any sense to me." Krista pouted and frowned as she glared at the Mathematics textbook.

I looked at her with an impressed expression and she was confused now. "You had no idea you just quoted Stephen Chbosky right?" Krista's face contorted with confusion and I laughed. "And you have no idea who he is." I nodded as I took it in. Krista shrugged my laughter off and continued to glare at the textbook. "Fat thighs, the upcoming Mathematics examination will not disappear just because you glared at the textbook. Rather than waste time to glare, you may as well use the time to practice more?"

Krista shook her head in defeat. "I cannot anymore. Give me a break flat chest. I'm getting another cup of mocha, you want one?"

I reopened my exercise book and shook my head. "I'm good." I merely said and continued to do some tougher problems. In about a minute or so, Krista was back. "That's fast." I placed my pen down and looked up but my smile turned into a frown when I took in the image sitting in front of me right now. "Marie?"

Marie nodded once and glanced around me. She looked so different and I would never get used to her being so different. Ever since the party at Sebastian's she changed completely. Marie threw her innocent demeanour and literally became the second Ally. Currently Marie was in shorts - short enough to be her panties - and her sheer chiffon top made her black lace bra very visible.

I shook my head in my mind and ignored her presence as I continued to solve my Mathematical problem. Yet Marie interrupted me again by clearing her throat. I glanced up and raised both eyebrows. "As you can see, I'd changed."

I rolled my eyes at the obvious. "Fact. Go on."

"I want to hook up with Marcus, your cousin." I choked on air and looked at her horrified. Marcus would never date someone like Marie if she'd become like Ally.

"And he will date you?"

"Why not? I saw the way he checked Ally out that night at the party. I saw how he transformed you and moreover, we are not very different intellectually."

I laughed dryly and shook my head. "We might not be very much different in terms of IQ but sorry to burst your bubble, Marc doesn't do sluts."

"And he was willing to be seen as your date that time?" Marie glared at me while biting the insides of her mouth.
