Chapter 1: He Calls Me Munchkin

I sighed when I looked at myself in the mirror. I tucked a strand of my curly brown hair that fell out of my messy bun. There was no way of hiding the huge bags under my eyes. I've only slept 3 hours and I'm absolutely exhausted. I couldn't even pick a proper oufit, I had on a white tee, ripped jeans, my old converse and my favorite blue sweater that said 'Trust me I'm the doctor'.

Damn you, James Dashner for making great books that I just can't stop reading even if it's 3 a.m. on a school night.

I silently curse when I took a look at the alarm clock. Class was starting in 10 minutes and it's at least a 15 minute drive towards the school. I quickly dash out of my room picking my backpack in the progress. I take an apple from the kitchen table and left the house, making sure it's locked.

I live with my mother but most of time it feels like I'm living alone. I shouldn't really complain, she does what she cans so that I can have a normal life.

I drove through the streets like someone was chasing me. I made it just before the tardy bell rang.

You see, on Fridays I had health as my first class and I really didn't like missing anything of it.

I sumpled down on my regular seat, muttering a quick hi to my best friend Victoria that sat beside me.

"There is my favorite foreigner" She said with a small smile.

I am originally from Oxford, England. I lived there with my father, mother and little brother. We lived there until my father died in a motorcycle accident. My mom couldn't take being in the house where they were memories of him everywhere so she packed up and took us to Florida. I still got my accent thought and I don't think it will ever go away.

I never got a chance to answer her because Mr. Ryans started the class.

"Good morning class" Mr. Ryans booming voice announced.

Mr. Ryans was barely 30 years old. At least that's what he looks like. He is married and has a set of twins that he is always proud to show off. In class he is serious even though he cracks a few jokes and laughs with the students. But outside he is a completely different person, he is usually playing pranks on the other teachers. He is like a little kid in a grown man's body.

"Today, you'll be starting a project that will cost you half of your grades in this semester. It's called the Life project." He explained looking at each and everyone of us carefully. Almost as if he was looking for some reaction.

"All of you will be paired with a girl or a boy depending on your genre and I will be assigning your partner" He said making almost everyone groan.

"As long as she's hot, I'm good!" Some guy yelled from the back. I think his name was Luke.

"Yeah, Ryans. Just make my partner hot!" His best friend, Jerry yelled.

Mr. Ryans threw them a glare before continuing. "This project will be evaluated in 4 parts. The first one is just you getting to know you're partner which is the easiest part. Which is the one you will be doing today". He finished taking out a piece of paper and a pen.

"Now listen carefully, I would be announcing your partners, please sit beside them on any table. You better remember their names because I really don't want to read the list twice" He said with a groan at the end.

"First pair, Luke Grimes and Jerry Anderson" He said with a slight smirk hanging on his lips.

Victoria and I were laughing silently in our seats watching their smiles fall off their face.

"What? Are you kidding me?" Both of them yelled while the whole class erupted in laughter.

"But we are both guys" Jerry complained looking at the teacher.

"You two will be the gay couple of the class" Mr.Ryans practically laughed in their face. With a small smile he continued to name the partners.

"Victoria Simmons and Gavin Jones" At that same time Victoria groaned.

"Am I really stuck with a bad boy/ jock?" She muttered getting up from her seat before wishing me good luck.

"And the last couple will be Noelle Adams and Seth Collins" I'm stuck with who?

How am I supposed to sit beside someone I don't even know exists?

Before I could internally freak out someone sat on Victoria's seat. When I looked at his face, my mouth let out an internal gasp. He is the hottest man that I have ever seen, he even tops David Tennant. And that for me is a high level of hotness. He had short brown that was combed up so it didn't touch his forehead. His eyes were blue with green flecks covering the middle of them. It was almost as if his eyes were holding me captive.

"Are you alright, munchkin?" His smooth deep voice pulled me out of my thoughts.

I opened my mouth but nothing came out. Since when was I speechless? I cleared my throat and then my thoughts.

"Munchkin?" I managed to croak out. God, this is so embarrassing.

"Yeah, because you are so Little" He said with a small smirk.

"I am not little" I scoff, I'm only 5'4. That is medium sized, not tall but not short either.

"Yeah you are" He replied.

"First of all my name is Noelle, start using it. Second of all, who are you?" Normal Noelle was back, I don't like the speechless one.

"I'm Seth, and I really rather call you munchkin, munchkin" He said laughing at my annoyed expression.

This guy was hot but annoying also. Before I could answer him the teacher started talking.

"I'll be handing you each a piece of paper with a bunch of questions. It is your duty to meet up with your partner and hand me this paper answered by Monday" He explain while passing by and giving each and everyone of us a sheet.

I quickly swept over the questions and they were pretty basic, they were just questions about your partner.

"Your place or mine?" I almost choked on my own spit.

"What?" I whisper yelled, a sudden heat ran up my neck and stayed on my cheek.

"I meant for the project, Munchkin. I didn't think you had such a dirty mind" He smirked. Didn't he ever smile or do anything other than smirk?

"I'm ok with either way" I really didn't care.

"Tomorrow at my place, I'll text you the address" He said just as the bell rang. This class ended way before then it was supposed to or maybe I just zoned out.

"How are you going to get my number?" I yelled at him when he got up and left.

"I got my ways" He yelled back drawing the attention of most of the students that were in my class.

I got my backpack and left the room, meeting with Victoria outside.

"So, how was your talk with the bad boy?" She asked while holding my arm in a death grip. Some of her blonde hair got stuck in her mouth and she quickly pushed it away.

"With who?" "Are you kidding me? Noelle you just have been paired of with the most feared boy in the whole school" She said with wide eyes.

"Really? He didn't seem like it. He was really annoying and he calls me munchkin" I say with a huff.

"You are kind of small" Victoria said with a laugh.

"No I'm not!" I yelled chasing after her.
