“You should really come to the party. Zach invited me too,” Hailey said, using her hand to push back her hair to look more stylish. "I guess we can go there and show them how it's done.” She added, grinning. They were in the last period and Hailey was whispering to her, even though she kept telling her she wasn't interested in going since the first period. There was absolutely nothing she had said to make her get off her back, and it was pretty annoying because it was becoming a distraction. Perhaps, it would be better to go change their schedule because it was so much alike. If they didn't share this many classes, maybe she wouldn't have to endure having to hear her bleed her ears like this, maybe she would have given up on it already. Chloe shook her head as she copied the note from the board, and she glanced at her where she sat beside her. “What the heck, Hailey?” she asked with a whisper, lifting her eyebrows in a question. "If you continue this way, you will end up in detenti

A knock sounded on her door and she asked who it was. Hailey answered that it was her and she told her to come inside. Chloe wasn't dressed yet, but that was because she couldn't decide what to wear. She stood in front of the closet to find something, but nothing stood out to her. She had her hand to her chin, still in the towel, but properly dried up, with her hair dried and curled. She had done her makeup; a dark eyeshadow for her eyelids to make a smoky eye effect, and a little bit of powder here and there but making sure it was all blended. She had put on some dark lipstick that made her lips looked a bit bigger than they actually were and it was nice. Hailey opened her door and walked in, a dress bag in hand. She was wearing a beautiful dress and a pair of beautiful shoes to go with it, and Chloe wondered if she wasn't overdressed. It was a tight silver sequin dress that stopped at her mid thigh and left her shoulders bare with the little spaghetti straps that Chloe thought mi

That was an unexpected question, Zach thought, a question no one had ever asked him, a question that scared the shit out of him. Instead of answering, he looked at her up and down slowly, and that caused Chloe to shift from one foot to the other, shifting so awkwardly under his gaze.He raised his eyes to meet hers again, and he heard her gasp so softly. His eyes became a little darker and he licked his lips at what he saw on her face. Damn, she was beautiful and messing with his head. "You didn't come all the way here like this, right?” he asked, racing his legs over the chair he sat on and leaning against the piano with his arms crossed. Chloe looked down at her body and then back at him. "I don't understand,” she said. "What's so wrong with my outfit?” she asked. He scoffed, removing his hand to gesture her up and down. "Do you not see how you're dressed? You look like you're modeling them.” He said, wondering in his head if that was him complimenting her or judging her clothes.

“Let’s just go grab some nuts in the kitchen, Chloe, and then we can leave,” Hailey said when she saw how serious Chloe was about leaving. She just wanted to go home because she couldn't be here anymore, not after the stare-me-down she had participated with Zach. There had been something in his eyes while he stared at her and she could feel his heart racing to match hers because of how close they had been standing. Thankfully, Hailey had interrupted them, or who knew what would have happened. She sighed and said okay. "But you know you could have taken that when we went there earlier.” She said. Hailey nodded her head in agreement. That was true, but she would be quick, and she said as much. They both walked back to the kitchen and then Chloe put her hand to her lips to hush Hailey to be quiet. She could hear someone talk outside, and she could swear it was Zach. She was so familiar with his voice that she knew she wasn't mistaken. She couldn't hear what he was saying properly, o

"What the hell was her problem?" it was the first thought that came to Zach’s mind when he woke up this morning, and he wanted to punch someone. Thankfully, no one was in his room. He sat up on his bed, the thought of what had happened last night invading his head and he wondered how Chloe could react the way she did, like she was annoyed about what she had overhead. If truly she had overheard the conversation, shouldn't she know that he had only done her a favor? She had acted like he had done something so terrible and that annoyed the shit out of him. She made him tick in places he didn't like, and he hated that so much. Speaking of ticking, he felt himself hardened as he remembered the brief encounter between them upstairs at Liam’s house and down below the stairs. The way her body had felt pressed against his, the way she had gasped when their body touched even though there was a barrier of clothes between them. Damn! He cursed, threw the cover aside, and walked to the bathroo
