I re-sat the Specialist Math test and aced it.

I challenged Mr. Collins to give me only 10 minutes to complete the stupid test, plus have him sit right in front of me while I worked out every single question so he wouldn’t even dare to think I was cheating.

Mr. Collins was beyond impressed, to say the least.

I walked out of the classroom with a content smile on my face. The Summer holidays were only 2 days away, and my mum had called me late last night, saying that her and my dad would be staying in Cambodia for an extra two weeks, meaning I was going to be a guest at Reece’s house for longer than planned.

I was way too happy about that fact than necessary.

As I passed the hallways, I recognized Dennis from the back, searching for something in his locker. He looked so lost in thought as he searched through his bag, that he didn’t notice me creeping up behind him.

“Boo.”

The next thing I knew, I was shoved hard against the locker with a strong arm cutting the airflow in my throat.

“Oh, Shit!” Dennis withdrew away instantly, as I began coughing aggressively, “Chloe, I’m so sorry! I didn’t think it was you! I’m so sorry! It was out of instinct! Are you okay?”

“Your instincts are deadly.” I choked out, trying to breathe normally again.

Suddenly I was pulled into his arm as he hugged me tightly, “I am so sorry Chloe, I would never hurt you on purpose. I’m so, so sorry!”

I returned the hug and smiled at how adorable he was, “It’s okay,” I coughed again, “I’m fine, really.”

He pulled back and ran his fingers through his hair awkwardly, “I’m so sorry, there’s gotta be something I can do to make it up to you.”

I looked at him curiously.

Then I smirked, completely forgetting about my near-death experience.

“Actually, there is something you could do, to make me fully forgive you and all…” I trailed, getting lost in thought. This is so easy. Too easy.

“Your face looks kinda scary right now…”

I placed a hand on his shoulder, “Are you free this Friday?”

His warm brown eyes looked perplexed, “Um, yeah, I guess?”

“Good.” I smiled brightly, “The Pizza Palace, 6 o’clock.

“What?”

“Wear a V-neck, preferably grey or blue.” I said, remembering Allie’s secret turn-ons in a guy.

“A V-neck?”

“It’s sexy.” I told him bluntly. “And order a large Margarita to share.”

“Chloe-”

I cut him off, “Dennis, I need you to go on a date with my best friend.”

His eyes widened in fear, “You want me to go on a date with Charlie?!”

“What! No!” I cried, violently shaking my head as a disturbing image popped into my head. “I need you to take my other best friend, Allie Harper, out to dinner.”

“Are you trying to set me up?”

“No, I’m trying to set her up.” There’s a difference.

He raised an eyebrow, “But, why me?”

Because you’re perfect for her!

“Because you almost killed me 30 seconds ago!” I yelled at him, watching as his brown eyes filled with worry and regret.

“Chloe, I am so sorry for that, I didn’t mean-”

“Will you do it or not?!”

He looked speechless, “Um…er…uh…yeah, okay. I’ll do it.”

I gave Dennis a quick peck on his cheek, “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

I watched as his cheeks turned bright pink. Oh God, he was just too cute, “Yeah, no worries. So at six, yeah?”

I nodded, “Six. Don’t be late; Allie hates it when people are late. In fact, be there five minutes earlier.”

“Okay.”

“Okay!” I smiled cheerfully. Giving him a hug and making my way towards my locker, when I was at the end of the hall, I turned back to see Dennis still standing there awkwardly. His surprised look never left his face.

“Dennis! Don’t forget the V-neck! You MUST wear the V-neck! They make guys look a hundred times hotter!” I cried at the end of the hallway.

I swear, I saw his cheeks turn a darker shade of red as he shook his head and walked the other way.

Life was definitely peaking!

“Who do you like?”

Who do you like? They’re only four little words. The most commonly asked question in truth or dare. A question guys normally ask you to see if you’re interested in anyone. Question girls usually ask you so they can gossip to the rest of the female population at high school…

And finally,

A question where 99% percent of the time, you answer with a complete and utter lie.

“No one!” I blushed, averting my gaze and concentrating on…the grass. Wow, they looked so green and healthy today-

“You’re a terrible liar.”

I looked at the person in front of me, gaping. “I’m not lying!”

“Sure.”

“I’m not!”

“Okay, Chlo-waaay.” He replied sarcastically, making my name rhyme. I let out a frustrated sigh.

“Look, it doesn’t matter anyway. It’s not like he likes me back.”

He chuckled, “Likes me back? Sounds like you just confessed your feelings there, Chloe.”

My heart beat accelerated, “I – I - ”

“Just admit it!”

“FINE!” I yelled, blushing furiously, “I like Reece Carter okay?!”

Valentino smiled genuinely, “You’re so cute, Little C, so cute.”

A/N - I should be doing my Physics homework, but my mum and my grandma are watching Spanish dramas with Persian voice-overs on full blast. Haha!

Okay, I know I was going to do that thing where I answer your questions, but honestly, I didn't know which ones to choose, plus, 10 questions would have taken me ages to answer properly, so I just picked out the most common question:

What happened to the boy in your Biology class?

I actually broke into a wide smile reading this. He's so cute, and so SMART, and so badass. He always sits in front of me in class, so I'm too busy staring at his back than what our teacher has to say sometimes.
This one time, I forgot my Bio book, and I basically announce it to the entire class and he turns around and says "Use mine."
Then the guy sitting next to me answers him instead and he's like, "It's alright mate, Hasti can share with me. :)"
In a way, I'm grateful, because if 'Mr. I Don't Smile' had given me his book...that meant he didn't have a book...which meant he had to share...with the pretty girl sitting next to him.

COTE! I uploaded waaaaay sooner than I'd originally planned (even though this is short, sorry) because I loveeee you guys! <3
