chapter 2 Play hard to get

I have English, hopefully he's not in my English class. I sit in my usual spot and wait for the teacher, few he's not here..... But there was a tap on my shoulder. And can you guess who it was? Yes it was him dammit so I just remember what Maddy and Hazel told me, "play hard to get" it repeats in my mind so I'll just do that. "Hey" he said. I just nodded and smiled and the teacher started talking, and we're doing Romeo and Juliet. Seen as Huddy was so behind, she asked me to help him study. seen as I know so much about it, great Steph well done now you have to help him catch up. While playing hard to get, good job. Just remember if you let him in too early history will repeat itself. that stupid anti voice won't shut up.

In my head when all the sudden I heard my name "Steph" he was waving his hands in front of my face, shit I looked like I was daydreaming. So I accidently sighed "what's wrong?" he asks worried. "Nothing, I'm just tied." I lied while fake yawning. The English teacher started talking. Huddy tried to talk to me during the class but I just ignored him which was hard because I was trying not to laugh. At the same time because he started to look worried I don't know if I should talk to him and say it was a joke. Or "play hard to get" I'll keep doing that, I finished writing the task before everyone else does. And he just rolled his eyes. "Do you want some help?" I say playfully. "Yes please." He says with a happy voice, as I was explaining the task to him he was staring at me. "Focus on the task" I scolded him then he rolled his eyes and said "I am." "Sure you are." I say while shaking my head.  

After 30 mins of helping him the class finally ends and I have history next, please don't be in my class just as I think that he says. "What do you have next? I have history." "Same." I say, sounding casual and like I don't care. I do because it makes it harder to ignore him, I sit at the back corner table as I usually do and he sits next to me again. My god he won't go away and I can't say that because it's mean and it's his first day so. I let out a huff more than I should've. Woops, "You must be an insomniac." "Yes, yes I am." "You need to get sleep girl and why did you ignore the whole of english?" "I didn't ignore you, I was just too busy focusing on my work." I say we both know that's a lie, then he says in a soft quiet sexy voice. "I know what you're doing and it's not gonna work." 

Shit he knows, stay calm I look at him with a confused face. He says. "You're ignoring me and trying to play hard to get." I laugh and say. "Bro you're reading waaaaay too much into this hahahahahahahahaha." He caught me but I'm not letting him know that. I start doing my work and tell Huddy he can copy off my work so I don't have to talk to him, "Just don't get caught." "I won't, I've had waaay too much experience." He says. I don't want to ask how, I already know the answer to that.

So I just roll my eyes and start working while he's laughing, maybe tomorrow I can avoid him and like, blend in. I'll figure out a plan when I finish writing, I grab my laptop out and start reading my fanfic. I'm reading after I mean at least Tessa can manage to avoid Harden at all cost, I have to figure out a damn plan. I hear the clicking of huddy's pen which means he's done, so I try to snatch my book when he grabs my arm. 

Wow it feels like burning fire in a good way, he looks into my eyes and says in a quiet deep voice. "We can be like Tessa and Hardin, don't you think?" I breathe heavily and look into his eyes. But then I remember what the girls said "play hard to get to test him", but I can confirm that he likes me in that way because of what he just said. I look at him and smile without saying anything. He gives me a smile back, and I slide my computer in the middle so we both can read it. While at the same time packing my other books, we manage to read like 10 chapters. "So how much have we read?" He asked, I replied "About ten chapters." "Wow, I didn't think I was capable of that." "Don't say that you're smart, and I believe you can do anything when you put your mind to it." I say. 

Now he has a big smile on his face, who would have thought that I could do that to a guy. "Do you wanna study after school?" He asks. "Sure but not tonight I'm busy." I replied politely. He asks when and I tell him. "Thursday after school." "So do you wanna come to my house or do you want to do it at yours?" I tell him his house because there's no way in hell I'll let him meet my family, we only just meet ourselves and I'm not dating him or anything.
