It was almost as if Zach could feel Chloe's eyes on his body, burning holes into the insanely gorgeous body because he turned to look at her, a small frown on his face. “Holy shit, you both are connected.” Hailey squealed and Chloe rolled her eyes. "That's why he can feel you looking at him, and that's why he turned to look at you at the time you started to stare at him.” She added, causing another eye roll from Chloe. Hailey had always been a tad bit dramatic, but she was getting more dramatic as time passed by. Perhaps, it was the drama that was going on at home that had made her that way. Chloe was still staring at him even while Hailey spoke to her, so she didn't miss it when he winked at her and gave her a smile. For some reason, that angered her, even though it should have pleased her. For a while now, after the cafeteria incident, he had been avoiding her at school, and been bleeping annoying, no other word for that. Why the heck was he smiling at her now, like he cared abo

“Because I don't want to have to beat the shit out of someone, okay! There. I said it.” “What are you talking about? Why would you do that?” When Chloe asked him that, silence fell between them. He could tell she was confused about that half ass confession he had just made, but he wasn't sure he wanted to explain anything yet. “Why don't you want to beat the shit out of anyone, I mean why would you have to?” Chloe asked again when he didn't say anything. “I just don't want to be a bad friend and allow some jerks to mess with you.” He said, hoping that was an explanation enough. It wasn’t though, because, after a moment, she shook her head as if to say that wasn't genuine enough. “That’s not answering my question, Zach. Why won't you just explain what you mean when you said what you did?” she asked him, looking at him and hoping he would explain what that meant to her. Zach rubbed his temple, he could see what she was thinking plainly displayed on her face. She was thinking that

Chloe spent most of the classes for that day planning on how to best avoid Zach through the movie night: how to make sure he wasn't in at least five feet of her, hoping it would work as well as it looked in her head. She remembered what Hailey had whispered to her in the third period class, telling her how she better not cause any trouble because she could see the glint in her eyes. Whatever glint she saw though had nothing to do with wanting to cause trouble, but to stay out of it, and Zach was trouble. He surely was, but what the heck would she do without an escape and avoid plan? He grimaced as the soft words replayed in her head and she wondered why she would want to cause trouble. She had no reason whatsoever to do so except he was planning to, and the best was to just stay away from him. If anything was to happen when after trying her possible best to stay out of trouble, it would be Hailey’s fault. She would be held responsible because she was the one that invited him to th

Chloe was nervous, and it was entirely because today was Monday, the start of the tutoring with Zach. She had been able to avoid him until today, but she couldn't anymore. At Hailey’s house for the movie hang out on Friday, she had done her absolute best to stay away from him, and nothing dramatic had happened thank God. It was still early in the morning, but it didn't stop her from being all tense. All usual, she walked to school while her father drop off her brothers. She loved coming to school early so that she wouldn't have to draw any attention to herself. As she got to school, a car entered into the parking lot, and she wondered who it was. She didn't think other people arrived at school at this time, but she was surprised. There was another car in the parking lot she didn't recognize too, but she wasn't sure it was a student’s car. The principal and some of the teachers sometimes parked in the student lot. “Chloe, good morning.” Someone said behind her and she turned to see

“Hey, little bird!” Chloe heard someone shout at lunch the following day and all she wanted to do was freeze. She knew who it was even before she turned to him, and she was so embarrassed. No one knew that name, nor did they know who he was calling, but they were looking at him with weird looks on their faces, probably wondering to whom that weird name belonged to. He had a grin on his face, as if nothing had happened, while she stood here, all mortified. At this point, all she wanted was to disappear from this place if that was possible, but it wasn't. “God, you're such as ass.” She whispered as he walked towards her. She thought of what it might have been if she had pretended not to hear him call that out and continued her way, or didn't even stop so she wouldn't have to face him, but then again, she knew he was relentlessly stubborn, and would probably call her that until he caught up with her with those ridiculously long legs. People’s attention was still on him, still waiting
