He looked so compelling in the white shirt, a pair of blue ripped jeans, and black sneakers, and all Chloe could do was stare and look at him with her jaw practically on the floor. Chloe had seen him dressed all gorgeous like this before, but it was the first time she was seeing him outside of school in a different atmosphere than the one at school. When he had come to her house to warn her off Ally, it had not been in the same circumstances. His physical appearance was obviously showing his love for his exercise, and Chloe just couldn't get enough. It was amazing how one person could have a great body and a gorgeous face like this with the character embedded with flaws. He was a jerk that love to think that Chloe’s world revolved around her, even though that wasn't the case. The way he was arrogant, she might as well think that he owned her, the earth, and everybody in it. Although, he deserved to be cocky with a face, body, and physique like his. As soon as she and Hailey had en
When Zach visited Mrs. Bello, he concluded that using her class as an extra way to learn credit wasn't something for him. But the option he was left with wasn't going to be easy either. He had thought about it over and over until he concluded that it was better to find someone who could tutor him instead of joining the book club as the principal had graciously proposed. Although, he knew that she was only saying that to help him, but it didn't mean she wouldn't do as he wanted at the end of it all. His father, after all, pumped in money to the school every semester, like he was offering money to charity. Principal Carly Wayne sure knew how to do things in a subtle way, which was why she had asked him to go see Mrs. Bello, even though she knew he might not be able to do what was asked. There had been a certain way he had been avoiding this until now, but he was a senior and was graduating soon, so he needed all the extra grades he could get. Finally, after thinking about it like he
It took everything in her to not punch him in the face. He had just insulted her and he was showing no clue that he knew he had, which indicated her even more. He had asked if she would be interested to tutor her, and she had asked him why she would, but she didn't expect him to insult her like that, telling her to name her price. “Who the hell does he think he was?” she thought as she sat there, looking at him. Soon, a sound of a spoon clattering to the table penetrated her thought and she jumped out of it. She definitely couldn't stay here any longer, listening to him talk like that, it was so annoying. "I knew you were an ass, I just didn't realize it was this bad.” She said, standing up, and then she started to walk out. Before she could completely get out of the space between the table and the chair they were occupying, Hailey's hand shot out suddenly to grab her wrist. "Where are you going?” she asked and Chloe scoffed. Why the heck was she asking her that when she had been r
After the day Chloe went with Hailey and Zach to get ice cream, she had made sure to absolutely avoid Zach but Hailey had not come to school the rest of a couple of days, and neither was she able to see her on the weekend. She was her best friend here, in fact, if she was being sincere, her only friend, without counting the two girls Hailey had introduced her to that day who had acted like she was lice on their hair and avoided eye contact, then avoided her after that. Must be the rumor going around school about her and what she allegedly did to Zach, but that was by the way, it wasn't what she wanted to talk about or think about. So here was a new day in a new week, and she was hoping to see Hailey. She was a bad friend, because she didn't know Hailey’s house, and would have even tried getting her address from someone, but that someone was someone she was avoiding. She had called her though, texted even, but there had been no reply whatsoever. Sighing, she took her book from her
“That was the longest class of my life,” Hailey said as soon as they walked out of class and Chloe lifted one of her brows in question. All periods were the same and there was no class with double periods or anything, so how was the class they had just came out of the longest? She knew something was up with Hailey, and it must have to do with something at home. She was going to wait until she was ready to talk, but she would have to ask her what was wrong. She grabbed her wrist and started to pull her toward the bathroom that was down the hall.“Where are you taking me though?” Hailey asked. “I'm taking you to the bathroom, Hailey. We have to talk.” Chloe said, pulling her into an empty shed. She put a finger to her mouth and shush her, then she locked the door and turned to face her. "What's going on, really?” she asked. Hailey frowned, looking at her with confusion, but she knew that was just a pretense. Chloe could see the thoughts turning around in her brain, thinking of what
At the cafeteria, Zach and his friends walked to Chloe and Hailey's table and sat with them. That was a first. Chloe sure wasn’t expecting that, but she would have to deal with it, only she wasn’t ready for any more drama. She was angry at Zach, and she would have that conversation with him later. Somehow, the principal had called her to her office at the end of the second period to ask her if she would be willing to tutor Zach in exchange for not registering her in the book club program like the geometry teacher wanted. She had been shoved in a corner, because the moment she started to shake her head, Principal Carly Wayne had mentioned how she remembered she needed to see her father because of how she had insulted the math teacher in front of the other students. Chloe knew at that moment that tutoring Zach was a do or let your father in on your disrespectful manner affair, so she had quickly nodded her head and promised to do just that. Who was he and why did he think that using
The only place Zach could think of to take Chloe to was the library, because that place would be silent with no student around there yet. It was, after all, a time to eat and not to read. It wasn’t all students that were eager and enthusiastic to read too. He dragged her until they got to the darkest part of the place and then he pushed her gently so that her back was against the shelf. “What is this about?”Zach looked down at her, putting little to no space between them. He could see that she was not happy at all, whatever was the reason. Perhaps, it was because he called her out here, or because Principal Wayne had gotten to her. After they had spoken about her tutoring him, well he wouldn’t really call that speaking about it, it was more like him putting it out there and waiting for her response, she hadn’t said anything to him, and when his patience ran out, he decided it was best to take Principal Wayne’s offer to ask Chloe herself on his behalf. He had known something was up
Again, Zach stretched his hand to her, and out of habit to be polite she took it this time, regretting it instantly. But it was too late now, he was already grabbing her hand firmly. she gripped his much larger hand just as tightly, and at that moment, it was as if they both needed to prove that they didn't mind being in each other's space like right now. It was almost amusing to her though, even though it was nothing but nonsense, and she wondered what he would do if she hadn't taken his hand in a shake, or if she was to pull hers suddenly away from him. Chloe's hand was still on her, firmly that she couldn't take it off when if she tried, but she could see that he wasn’t really focusing on their shake anymore. It was something else that took over his attention, but she struggled to understand what it was. Everything about him was hassling her, even his eyes mocked her. It was as if he could tell that she had butterflies in her belly right now, even though she was giving off a not
