September 21st, 8:48 A.M.

"You know, my offer still stands." Leo whispered to me.

"Hm," I nodded, trying to focus on the paper in front of me.

"Just reason with me, Gia." He said. "Please?" He pouted as he stuck out his bottom lip.

I snorted and returned back to my paper, avoiding Leo.

"You can't ignore me for too long." He smirked.

"Sure can." I smiled sarcastically.

"Just accept the offer, and be my friend. It's so very simple." He raised his eyebrows.

"And why would you want to be my friend?" I asked him as I dropped my pen onto the table.

"Accept my offer and I'll let you-"

"Answer the question lover boy," I cut him off.

"I'll let you draw a skeleton hand if you shut up and be my friend," he suggested.

I shrugged. "Desperate...but I accept your offer." I grabbed his hand and shuck it aggressively before picking up my pen and beginning to draw on Leo's hand.

As I drew I decided to make small talk with Leo, since the silence in this classroom made me feel uneasy.

"So what brings you to Trinity High?" I whispered.

"I dunno," he shrugged.

"Well there must be some important reason, considering you left your stuck up girlfriend and stoner-friends back at that cheap school out in Lightmin," I sighed.

He laughed. "That is true."

"So why?" I asked.

"Well," He began. "Just needed a change."

"Of friends?" I laughed.

"Sort of, actually," he smiled. "Mostly change of atmosphere though."

"Hm," I nodded. "You're strange."

"I get that a lot." He smiled.

I smiled back and continued to draw.
