Third person's POV
Click!
The buff guy in the black hoodie took a picture of the two of them handing it over to the lady beside him in a black jumpsuit and a black beanie "is this okay" the buff guy asked in a thick Russian accent
"Pathetic lot,it's fine" she said with a smirk as they stood over a hill at the far end of the school campus overlooking where the party was taking place with tons of students cluelessly having fun.
"what is your interest in this subject?" he asked looking over the cluster of dancing bodies as the night breeze blew softly with the street lights in a near distance gleaming
"that's for me to know Nakivarov and for you to just do your job" she said with a sickening smile
"I'll tell you if you need to know so for now let's go" she started walking off with Nakivarov behind her
"Of course miss Mendez"
The next day
Andre's POV
I lifted my last set letting out a strained sigh as I sat up properly to catch my breath
before reaching for my water bottle
"Good job" Beck said with a smile handing me my blue towel
"thanks"
"So?"
"So?" I repeated his words as I tried to tie my hair with my black band. looking at the mirror opposite me, I looked at my hair
It's longer...
I haven't had a cut since the last time Beck did it for me and since I dyed my hair myself ....I couldn't get a cut but I kinda liked it.
"what's with you and Halsey?"
"It's Hazel"
"same thing"
I glared at him getting of the bench to stand beside him "there's nothing Beck"
"After what I saw last night?"
"Especially after last night" with a fake smile,I left him as I headed to the showers
There was nothing between me and Camille we just had an undeniable connection but I didn't think it transcended to the point of having feelings for each other or maybe..... I'm convincing myself to do that.

"what should we have for breakfast?" I asked the moment we got into the house dropping my duffel bag on the floor
"What do you want?" he asked back already walking to the kitchen
"peanut butter toast but with Lebanese bread and chicken"
Beck gave me a very weird looking at my request,I didn't want to have normal bread because I was trying to cut my carbs and sugar since I was ready to get back to work.
"give me 30 minutes" was all he said heading to the fridge while I had a goofy smile on my face "have I ever told you you're the best?"
"every other day"
with one last look,I was prepared upstairs to have a proper shower because the one in the gym didn't cut it and my aching muscles badly needed to be soaked in a warm bath tub just as much as my mind was still stuck in last night and hadn't left there.
Ding!
The bell rang making Beck I give each a look wondering who could be here at past seven in the morning.
As I opened the door I was welcomed with the image of the person that had lived rent free in my mind all night till this very moment
"You're early like very early" I teased leaning against the door while she stood there in her yellow striped hoody and red shorts " Einstein said time is relative so maybe I'm not early you just started your day late" she stated with the proudest grin looking so fucking adorable..... I was at a loss of words
who was I to refute that?
Hazel:1 Andre:0
Camille POV
After having breakfast with the boys we went to the mini study room.
Beck decided to feed me today which I appreciated even though I'd eaten before coming here but I couldn't say no.
"Can I show you something?" I asked with a little chuckle making him turn in my direction as he took of his headphones
"what?"
"I want to show you something"
"okay" he said with a gentle smile as I handed him my phone "what am I looking at?" he asked with his brows furrowed in confusion and amusement making me smile "it's a Pinterest accounted dedicated to posting pictures of you" I stated matter of factly still smiling "why would someone waste their time doing that?"
"well you're popular, handsome and the people love you" I quipped cheerily as I continued "there accounts like this one Pinterest with pictures of you and even inspo boards,book covers and fan a_" my voice was cut off when I realized he came closer to me with our knees touching
"So you think I'm handsome?" he asked with his green gems staring back at me
"I_um,I'm just stating facts" he just smirked lazily obviously enjoying me become a babbling mess
"Okay"
Okay?!
And then he put his headphones back on, adjusting back to his previous position while I was literally trying to cool down like an overheated printer. He always did this to me...made me forget everything.

Two hours of screen time and Idle chatter later, Andre's phone beeped reminding us it was time to take his meds "I hate this part of the day" his whispered with disappointment in his voice as he got up from the chair.
One thing I'd learned about Andre lately was he didn't like drugs,not one bit.whenever it was time for his meds he didn't look forward to it which had a way of amusing me how a man who stood on top of social ladders, Co Captain of the basketball team and soon to be CEO couldn't handle a little pills.
Few minutes later,he came back with the pill bottles in his hand and a bottle of water looking ready to get over with the whole thing.
I really wish I could make this easier for him...
Then it clicked!
"I can make the meds feel better"
"How?" he asked with a grimace on his face as he looked at the pills
"give me a moment" and ten minutes later,I came back with a warm plate of oats while Andre looked at me confusedly
"Okay so when I was younger,I hated meds so much that I'd hide from my parents all day so I wouldn't have to take them" I took a brief pause smiling at the memory of the story before continuing "so my mum would put them in a spoon of my oats and I'd hardly feel the taste of the drugs"
"that's creative of her" he stated with a smile which I mirrored
"So let's try it that way and see if it makes the meds better"
"sure" he took a spoon of the oats, placing a pill in it and he just stared down at it
"come on,try it"
"I can't"
"why?"
"I just can't, I'm just tired of fucking medications Hazel" he stated looking slightly pissed and personally I couldn't blame him. He wouldn't need to do this if not for her.
I took the spoon from his hand and directed the spoon to his mouth earning me a raised brow
"what are you doing?" he asked in an amused tone
"I'm going to feed you"
"what?No"
"Yes,come on"
"I can do it myself"
"and spend another eternity glaring at the spoon" he wanted to say something but couldn't retort
"Fine"
A smile of victory crept up my lips putting the near his lips "say ah" I teased and he did taking the meds and oats not wasting a second to swallow it, something about the way he obediently fed from the spoon in my hand made me feel a type of way,a way I couldn't describe..... he'd been doing that to me often recently.
"that wasn't so bad" He said staring at me before indicating the next pills.
"Um good,gr_good let's um take the next one" I placed a pill in the oats before directing it to his mouth once more when I heard a loud gasp making both of us turn to the door with my eyes widening due to maximum shock.....
"Oh,hi mum" Andre greeted in surprise while Mrs Makeila stared at us with eyes wide as saucers and Beck behind her as he mouth the words "Busted" with an amused smile.
Oh fuck...
