you're the one.|| vinnie hacker

039

charli and i were in math class. it was only the first two periods of the day and i could tell i was already tired.

the only thing that relieved me was that finally i was able to understand what the professor was saying and that was thanks to emily.

without her help i couldn't have kept up with all the math stuff and i was grateful, but that didn't mean that we were friends, specially after what he told me and how she acted at the party. she was just a familiar face through the many i didn't know.

suddenly as a something that came to save us, the bell rang and i didn't hesitate to get up and leave the class. i waited for charli and we both got out of it in literally 2 seconds.

"remind me again why we're doing this." charli said as we were walking through the hallway.

"i'm pretty sure that math class is not optional, so.." i said chuckling for the way she said that.

"i know but it's hard to be focused for two straight periods, i can't understand anything." charli said sighing. "what do we have now?"

it took my some seconds to remember which class was next. it had been a couple of weeks since i got here, but i couldn't remember my schedule yet.

"science." i read it from the class schedule i always took with me, so i could have checked it anytime.

"right, oh did you fill in the paper the professor gave us the other day?" charli asked me.

shit i completely forgot about that. this was the worst thing that could have happened to me, specially now. i just got here and i was pretty sure i was already about to fail classes.

"no anna how could you forget? she's very hard to please and when she's gonna notice that you didn't do your assignment, i don't kn-" charli said noticing my worried face, but i stopped her. the last thing i wanted to do right now was panicking.

"i'll just go to my locker to take the book and in the meantime i'll think about something, you go." i told charli and soon after i started walking to get to my locker.

this was literally the worst thing ever. i wanted to make a good impression on every teacher so bad and now everything was screwed up.

i calmed myself a little and started thinking about what i could have said: maybe she would just get over it and be patient because i was new.

or maybe she would have freaked out. charli said she was very hard to please so i doubt she would get over it.

without even realising i arrived at my locker, i opened it and i took the book i needed.

i sighed and was thinking about what i could have gone through after i would tell the teacher i didn't do what she assigned.

"what are you doing?" i heard someone behind me. i didn't even have to turn around to see who it was because i already knew.

"mind your business vincent." i said closing my locker and started walking. i wasn't angry or something with him, i was just worried about the possible reaction of the professor.

"someone woke up to the wrong side of the bed?" vinnie said walking next to me.

"no it's just.." i heard my voice slightly breaking. i stopped in the middle of the hallway next to someone's locker.

"you know you can tell me anything." vinnie said getting closer to me.

i looked at him and he seemed genuinely worried about me. i didn't know what happened between him and emily but what she said about him wasn't true.

"i forgot to do the assignment for science class, i don't wanna make a bad impression and fail this class." i said kinda panicking.

"c'mon it's not a big deal, you can see mine and write something." he said reassuring me. i slightly smiled and the second later vinnie put a lock of my hair behind my ear.

as soon as i felt the touch of his hand on me i felt a thrill up my spine. shouldn't be something new because i always felt like this with him, but this time was different.

i looked at him straight in the eyes to try to understand why he did this. vinnie was looking at me back but he didn't say a single word.

then he quickly looked at something behind me. it was probably less than 5 seconds but he seemed pretty focused.

i wanted to turn around, but as soon as i tried, vinnie took my arm not to let me see what was behind me.

"you just need to calm down, i'll give you my paper and you're not gonna get in trouble, got it?" vinnie said trying to distract me.

"no, i don't wanna steal your work, i'll just try to make up an excuse." i said. "but thank you anyway" i slightly smiled.

vinnie did the same and got even closer to me. then he leaned his chest forward and before i could even understand what was going on, he kissed me on the cheek.

i literally was speechless. i didn't expect this and i supposed vinnie noticed my surprised face because he smirked and said: "c'mon i was just being polite."

i shook my head. of course he had to 'ruin' this moment and be the usual idiot.

"don't worry i wasn't thinking about anything, i was just surprised." i said as we started walking to get to science class.

"don't lie, i know that all the girls would pay to be kissed by me, even on the cheek." he said chuckling.

wow this kid really had a lot of self confidence.

i was about to say something, when vinnie stopped and when i looked at him to know why, i noticed he had a focused expression on his face.

"uh, you can go to class, i'll be there in few minutes." he said walking away. then soon after i heard the second bell ringing.

now i had definitely to go to class if i didn't want to be late. god it had only been two weeks and i had already been late for class many times.

i arrived at science class and fortunately the door was still opened. i took a deep breath and now i had only to find an excuse for not having done the assignment.
