The Only Exception -Neil Perry

Chapter 4

My sketch book was in my lap and my feet were on the chair beside me, Cameron was helping Neil and Charlie with trig which I finished a while ago.

Charlie groaned as I chuckled while shading in the shirt of the person I was drawing.

"It's not funny." Charlie snapped.

"It really isn't, and why aren't you doing your work?" Neil asked as I looked at him, my heart fluttered.

"Well, Cheek Bones. If you must know, I finished already." I said.

Neil and Charlie looked at each other.

"How?" They asked.

"Well, I have a 4.0 GPA and a IQ of 160. Also I did it during your gym class. Which reminds before you guys shower someone get me, so I can have a show."

Charlie smirked as Neil blushed.

"Except Cameron, no one wants to see that." I said and went back to my drawing.

"Just replace these numbers here with 'x "for 'x"and 'y"." Cameron told Neil.

"Of course." Neil nodded.

"Of course. So what's the problem?" Cameron asked as the door opened.

Knox rested his back against the door.

"How was dinner?" Charlie asked.

"Huh?"

"How was dinner?" Charlie asked again.

"Terrible." Knox replied as he put his jacket on the back of the chair I was using.

He sat down as I put my feet in his lap.

"Awful."

"Why? What happened?" I read Knox's face and smirked.

"Tonight I met the most beautiful girl... I have ever seen in my entire life." Knox said.

"Are you crazy? What's wrong with that?" Neil asked looking at me.

"She's practically engaged to Chet Danburry." Knox said.

"That guy could eat a football." Cameron commented.

"Too bad." Pitts said as I turned to look at him.

"Too bad? It's worse than "too bad" Pittsie. It's a tragedy." Knox said as I looked back at him.

"A girl this beautiful in love with such a jerk." He shook his head.

"All the good ones go for jerks. You know that." Pitts said as Neil looked at me and I looked down at my book.

"Yeah forget her. Open your trig book and try and figure out problem five." Cameron said as I worked on finishing the hair.

"I can't just forget her Cameron. And I certainly can't think about trig." Knox said.

"You're in love." I commented as I felt eyes on me.

I looked up to see the 6 boys looking at me.

"What? It's obvious. The flushed cheeks, the beating of his heart, the constant calling her beautiful, the sadness in his voice when he talks about her having a boyfriend." My eyes went to Neil.

"Boys, Knox Overstreet is in love with a girl named Chris Noel." I said as Meeks and Pitts cheered.

"We got it!" They cheered about their thingy I chuckled.

The door opened as Mr. Hager came in.

"All right gentlemen, five minutes. Miss. Reid, 30 cause I'm sure you'd like to take a shower." I nodded.
