"Hey, Alice!
I glanced up at the voice that called out my name. It was a boy clad in a white uniform, the logo of the tennis club on his shirt pocket, and a racquet cover slung across his back.
It was Caleb from section B. We were together until last year when the classes reshuffled.
"Yo! What's up?"
"What's up, class rep?"
I nodded towards the playground, where Kaidon was barking orders to his football teammates. He was newly appointed as the team captain, and everyone hated him already, including me.
"You're waiting for him?"

"I did." He answered, meeting my gaze back, staring down at me, taking advantage of the extra inches of height he had gained on me over the last one year.
"You wish!" I snorted.
"We have to solve the math problems together."
"I just finished that."
"Well, I haven't! And you can't quit on me, or I am gonna tell aunt Lily that you-"
