The beanbag boys

Freya

I had one mindset for starting middle school, no trouble, no boyfriends and good grades. That's it, that's all I needed. That's all I wanted. But the way he looks at me. His eyes. It just makes me think how important are grades really. But I can't, I need to do well, I need to make my mom and dad proud of me. I've barley spoken to Harvey Charlie and sam, I'm letting Isabelle do all the talking because I know as soon as I start talking to Harvey I'm going to fall deep. I've never felt that with anyone before. Maybe it's his smile, how kind he is, his cute little lisp, his fluffy hair. I don't know. But it'll never happen because I'm not here for a boyfriend. Im here to do well. And that's what I'll do.

Isabelle is chatting away to Charlie who quite obviously likes her. Charlie being the biggest douchebag I've ever met but he has potential. He seems like isabelles type.

"What lesson does everyone have after lunch?" I asked.
"Oh we're all in different ones" Harvey replied.
"I'm in chemistry" i said.
"Me too!" Harvey replied excitedly. His eyes lit up with excitement.
"I have English" Charlie said.
"Me too" Isabelle replied.
"Me three" sam added.
"Great the golden trio Charlie Isabelle and Samuel" Isabelle joked.
"Don't call me Samuel" sam huffed.
"Sorry Samuel" Isabelle smirked.

The bell rang and I got up to get my bag but one of my books fell out. Before I could even bend down to grab it Harvey was already holding it in front of me with a soft smile.
"Thank you" I chuckled placing it back into my bag.
"Do you mind if I walk with you to chemistry?" He asked.
"And if I say no?" I smirked.
"Then I'll walk behind you and let you have your space" he shrugged. God this boy I thought.
I laughed and shook my head.
"Come on" I nodded to him letting him catch up beside me.

We walked into the classroom together and sat beside each other. I began to scribble all sorts of drawings in my book as the teacher explained the lesson that seemed to go on forever. That was when the teacher called my name and asked me to answer a question. I didn't know the answer and I got nervous. My hand began to shake and my leg began to bounce as I muttered all sorts of random noises to prolong my sentence. That was when Harvey placed his hand on top of mine to stop the shaking. It worked straight away. He then proceeded to tell the answer for me. The other kids began to laugh at him.

"Harvey thinks he's a girl" they muttered. And yet he still had the biggest grin on his face.
"I'm sorry" we said at the same time. "Wait what are you sorry for?"I asked. "Touching you without consent, I just didn't want you to panic" he explained removing his hand.
"Oh uh it's okay, im sorry for what their saying" I said to him.
"Oh it's fine don't worry im used to it" he said turning his attention back to his book.

Grades Freya grades. I thought to myself. That was when the teacher announced a pair project.

"Max and Layla, Kelly and Mary and Freya and harvey" she announced the pairs and I swear my heart stopped.
