"You did what!?"

"Oh my God, Connie, shut up!" I pressed my finger against my lip, trying to make Connie stop yelling.

"Sorry, but you kissed Adam? Adam Banks? The boy who literally all the girls drool over?" We walked into English and sat down next to each other.

"Yes, now school. We can talk later." Connie rolled her eyes and looked towards the front of the class.

I saw Adam walk-in and made a beeline for the seat next to me.

"Hi, " He put his backpack on the ground and out his arms on the desk.

"Hello, " I smiled back at the gorgeous boy.

He looks so perfect.

We sat through the rest of the class bored out of our minds. We learned about diagraming sentences even though it's really useless right now because we've been learning it every year since sixth grade.

Finally, the bell rang and dismissed us. (oh to be in a world where the bell dismisses you)

"Ms. Julian, can you stay for a minute." Mr. Xander said from his desk.

Adam must have heard it because he came right back into the class and stood by my side.

"Mr. Xander, can we talk about my grades?"

"Adam, you're grades are fine. You have a B in this class."

"And she has an A so I see no reason to keep her after class for 'help'." Adam grabbed my hand and yanked me out of the classroom.

"Adam, wait!" I planted my feet in the ground as best as I could to keep him from walking any further.

"How did you know?" I looked into his eyes and he softened.

"Well, I noticed how shaken up you were after you two talked last week and it kept bothering me so much. I remember that all the rooms have cameras so I went to the office and asked to see the camera for the class, and surprisingly they let me. I heard what you talked about and I couldn't let that happen so-" I cut him off by wrapping my arms around his body. I could tell he wasn't sure what to do at first but eventually relaxed and out his around me.

"Thank you." I tried hard not to let tears spill and thankfully they stayed in their rightful spot.

"My mom was getting rid of a bunch of her old books and I know you like old books, so here." Charlie placed a big box of books onto the lunch table then sat next to me.

I sifted through the books looking at all the amazing titles. I picked up to kill a mocking bird and ran my finger over the old, tainted pages.

"Wow, thank you so much!" I have Charlie a side hug and placed the box under the table.

Adam came back from the lunch line and places himself right next to me.

"Hello, " He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me into him.

"Hi?" I giggled as he kissed the top of my head.

"I love jealous Adam." Averman pretends to fond over Adam and I couldn't help but laugh a bit.

"I'm not jealous." Adam threw a fry at Averman's face.

The whole team agreed sarcastically and he just rolled his eyes. I on the other hand was completely dying.

I think I also love jealous Adam.

"So Diego, you ready for your first game as a duck?" Dwayne asked my brother.
