My Crush's Bestfriend ✔️

Chapter 7 : Nothing

♡Jessica Woods♡

The teacher hasn't come yet and I was writing Samuel's name all over the last page of my book as I didn't have anything to do or anyone to speak.

I loved computer science and still do but that didn't mean I loved the computer science period too. There were only four students in this class including me. As it was an optional subject many students preferred photography and art more than computer science.

Roger and Grace didn't like me at all and I too decided not to bother them as they both were always making out whenever they get free time.

On the other hand, Michael who was an Asian boy and used to be my good buddy a few years ago but when he got to know about my crush I had on Samuel he stopped talking to me and always stayed alone in the class, reading something whatever was on his table.

I sighed and closed the book when I heard the door opening with a creak sound and I looked up to welcome our teacher but much to my surprise, Jace was standing at the entrance and glancing around the whole place as if he was planning to buy it while I was staring at him without blinking my eyes.

What is he doing here?

In no time his eyes locked with mine and he was holding an expression that was unreadable. When Jace approached slowly, the Asian boy looked up and quickly placed the bag on his adjacent chair before looking down at his book but Roger stood up and patted Jace's back.

"Hey man!"

"Hey Roger!" Jace greeted back and before Grace could stand up and flirt with him, he started to walk past them which meant he was approaching my direction.

No, no please. Don't come here.

He dropped his books on the table which was beside mine and pulled the chair before sitting on. Without sparing a glance at my direction, he opened a random page from the text book and pretended to read it while I was staring at him intently.

I was staring at him for more than thirty seconds and I found that he blinked his eyes thirteen times while reading. Suddenly he closed the book and stared ahead, tapping his fingers on the table and then turned to me, raising his eye brow.

"What?"

I swallowed the lump in my throat before speaking.

Now you noticed me huh?

Don't try to ignore me because you can't!

Why did you come here and sit beside me when you have so many seats to sit on?

Instead of asking what my mind said, I whisper-yelled. "What're you doing here?"

"Uh.. to study, maybe." he shrugged and I grumbled.

"I'm serious."

"Oh, hey serious!" he nodded at me before opening his book. I gritted my teeth and closed his book harshly which made him turn at me with a frown on his face.

"Jace, I'm really serious. What are you actually doing here? This is not your grade and you're elder than us and how come you-" he interrupted my rant.

"No one informed you?" he asked and I shook my head in confusion. He let out a sigh as if I was annoying the hell out of him.

"I failed." he mumbled, looking at his books.

"Pardon?"

he looked up and glared at me whether I didn't hear it properly or wanted to hear that one more time.
