Pacing back and forth in her room she contemplated whether she should call him or not. With one last sigh she decided that she would call but only because her best friend, Savannah whom she call Vana will drill her for answers the following day. Taking a deep breath, she dropped on her bed and slowly reached for her phone. With shaking fingers she unlocked it and found his number.

It's now or never, she thought as she lightly tapped the screen which immediately indicated a call was being made.

With shaky breaths she waited for him to answer.

"Hello?"

That's not him. Did I call the wrong number? She thought as an unfamiliar voice answered.

"Hello? Beautiful?"

"Beautiful?! Liam who are you talking to?!"

"Why is that person saved as Beautiful?!"

"Grayson! Damian! Would y'all please shut up?! Beautiful, are you there?"

"Hey. Can you talk or are you busy?" She asked with laughter ringing in her voice.

"He isn't busy. Hi I'm Damian."

"And I'm Grayson."

"Beautiful please ignore them."

"Hello, Damian, Grayson. How are y'all doing today?"

"We're both doing fine." Damian answered while Liam mumbled, "I'm doing well too. Thanks for asking Beautiful."

Laughing lightly she asked, "guys can I talk to him alone please?"

"Yeah."

"Sure."

"Sorry about those two."

"It's okay. They seem really nice."

"...so what did you want to talk about beautiful?"

"U-um..." She stuttered before clearing her throat and said, "I..."

"Beautiful?"

"I just thought I'd call to know if you're okay?" She said, the ending sounding more like a question however.

"That's why you called? Well I am okay. Bye then."

"Alright, so I didn't call to know if you're okay."

"Then why'd you call? And please don't make it a habit to lie to me Beautiful."

"I'm sorry and I called because according to my only friend I looked like a zombie for the past two weeks that you didn't call."

"You didn't call her for the past two weeks?"

"Is that why you've been moping around? You know thinking about it now you did look more zombie than you usually do for the past two weeks. Is it a coincidence?"

"Seriously guys? And I wasn't moping around nor do I look like a zombie."

"Y'all think he look like a zombie?"

"Yup! What do you think he looks like? Huh Beautiful?"

"Only I call her Beautiful." Liam said immediately.

"Woah! Woah!"

"That's actually true. He is the only person who isn't family that calls me Beautiful."

"Wow." Grayson answered.

"You didn't tell us what you think he looks like - umm...what should we call you?" Damian asked.

"She doesn't know what I look like. Wrong number rings any bells guys?"

"Oh." They both said.

"Yeah and y'all can call me Alex."

"Cool. Well we'll leave y'all to continue flirting..." Damian said followed by a loud, "ow!"

Laughing she answered, "I've actually got a test tomorrow so I'm going to study."

"What subject Beautiful?"

"Maths."

"Oh okay well have fun studying and good luck tomorrow Beautiful."

"Thanks. Bye Charming."

|Beep. Beep. Beep.|

Sighing she got up from her bed and made her way towards her desk to start.

"Hey Liam?" Damian called from his spot on the floor.

"Yeah?"

"We have a Math test tomorrow."

"So does that mean she goes our school?"

"There's a possibility that it's just a coincidence though. And there's also a possibility that she does attend the same school and she's part of our Math class." Grayson answered.

"Well boys we have a test to study for and a Beautiful mystery to find."

P.S. Math is short for Mathematics.
