You squinted your eyes and subtly shifted around in your seat to try get a better view of Niki's test paper. He was painfully aware of your snooping and strategically placed his arm on the desk, resting his head in his hand, body angled away from you in an attempt to hide his paper from you.

For an hour, he went out of his way to prevent you from seeing his answers, occasionally shooting you a sharp glare, even nudging your leg with his knee under the table. A silent warning to back off.

The chemistry exam came to an end and the previous deafening silence of the exam conditions were replaced by the teachers voice, announcing a project that would be due the following lesson.

Thankfully for you, you had been paired with the smartest guy in school for the project, aka Niki. However, Niki couldn't possibly look less thrilled about it if he tried. He let out a loud, defeated groan and buried his head in his arms on the desk.

With only a couple days until the due date, the two of you set to work immediately. He insisted on doing the project at his house for some reason and so by that very evening, the two of you were busy working away on the project in his room.

However, he wouldn't really let you do anything...

He would tell you to put things down when you'd pick them up and would tell you to stay out of his way. You felt a little useless but listened to his commands nonetheless.

However, as the hours passed by, you grew restless. Even your phone could no longer entertain you. You glanced at Niki who was still hyper-focused on the task at hand. What a nerd.

Curious as to what it took to steal his attention away from his beloved chemistry experiments, you began toying with him; poking him, messing with his equipment, blabbering nonsense. You could see it was starting to effect him, as he would occasionally shoot you glares or tell you to cut it out.

This only fueled your teasing unfortunately. You crept up behind him, intending to stick a piece of paper on his back. However, before you could, Niki grabbed your wrist and twisted it, causing you to yelp

"For the last time. Cut. It. Out."
