The remainder of the school day appeared to pass by in a blur with only a few interactions with Liam, Nolan or Sabrina. I sat huddled beneath a table in the library. The last period was about to begin and I had absolutely no interest in being there because it was Business Class.
I abhorred that subject almost as much as Steve Rogers disliked profanity. My eyes constantly sagged during that period and I had to pinch myself every five minutes to restrain myself from falling comatose. It didn't help that the teacher's voice was monotonous.
What made it was worse was that the period before Business was gym class. Freaking gym class! A class filled with running and exercises took place before a period which was worse than Professor Cuthbert Binns' History of Magic class at Hogwarts. And that dude was a ghost. By some miracle, my teacher, Mr Delaney, managed to sound more tiresome than a ghost.
Mondays were the most unfavourable of days but the fact that I could hide out in the library during the last period made it better. My hair was pulled back from my face due to all of the perspiration I produced throughout gym class. I was still attired in my gym clothes, consisting of red shorts and a white t-shirt with the school's mascot on it.
My backpack was strewn next to me and a Business textbook rested in my lap. Even though I didn't attend Mr Delayney's class, I still made an effort to study. I just believed that I performed better on my own. The white tennis shoes I wore were peeking out from the table that I was burrowed underneath but I didn't find it in myself to mind, too immersed in the topic of Human Resources.
Suddenly, I was yanked from underneath the table by my foot, gliding on my back until I was looking up at amused brown eyes. I could feel my head spinning due to being dragged out and it took me a moment to process everything that just happened.
"What is your problem?" I snapped, pushing myself into a sitting position so I could glare at the guy they called Liam Finnegan. He crisscrossed his arms over his muscular chest, causing the t-shirt he wore to contract around his form. I surveyed our surroundings, checking to see if anyone was near. "Aren't you supposed to be in class?"
Liam stooped down and picked up my discarded textbook before placing it back into my backpack. Once he stood tall with my bag over his shoulder, he raised an accusatory brow. "Aren't you?"
I tutted, reaching to take my backpack from him but he stepped out of the way. "First day and you're already breaking the rules." Scrutinising the smirk on his face, I questioned, "why does it look like you're planning something bad?" I stepped closer again and managed to get my backpack from him.
