*EARLIER TODAY*
*CHARLOTTE'S POV*
Hi, I am Charlotte Jones, a 17 year old teenage girl, an introvert. I was in my school, collecting my books from my locker for my next lecture, chemistry. I love chemistry but unfortunately I hate my permanent seat in class as I have to sit in front of school's most handsome boy, more
like hottest and sexiest, Edward Morris and I have a crush on him, since I don't know, forever. He is way out of my league, I'm 100% freaking sure that he doesn't even know I exist.
My best friend Ollie knows I have the biggest crush on him so she told me to ask him out for coffee or something and I was like "are you fucking serious, I can't even look at him for more than 2 seconds without looking like a scary stalker". Having heard me she scoffed and left. So then unfortunately I had to head to my class.
And there he was his lush dark brown hair, his serious blue eyes, with no emotions in them. His very muscular arms resting on the table, I think I was drooling and then Mr. Davila entered the class, pulling me out of my reverie, so, I quickly settled on my place.
After 40 minutes, the lecture was finally over and everyone rushed out
as soon as the bell had rang. I was also heading out but I heard someone calling my name, "Charlotte?" Is it who I think it is?!I turned around with excitement and anxiety both and yeah it was freaking Edward and he knows my name. Whoa. I replied," Ummm...yeah?" I am stammering, argh great. "Hi, I am Edward." He introduced himself like I wouldn't know him already.
"Yeah, I know who you're", I said very excitedly and he smirked following with raised
eyebrows. "I'm sorry, I meant I know your name already", I tried to cover for myself. "It's okay." He is so tall, I felt like an ant in front of him even though I am not very short myself.
What did he want from me was the question haunting me. Did he want to ask me out? Oh, who am I kidding, he obviously have pretty, hot and slim girls behind him, then why would he want me. "Umm... did you want something?" I asked intrigued. "Yeah, I wanted to ask you if you could help me in chemistry. You know as a tutor. I need to score good marks in the mid-term to stay in the soccer team." I quickly replied, "Yeah, okay, I'd be happy to help but
when and where?"
"After school, here itself. If you are okay with it. " "Yeah, it's fine", I agreed. "Thank you so much. See you at 3p.m", he thanked. "My pleasure and see you."
I headed out of class with my books in my hand, jumping with happiness in my head after saying bye to him. I headed to the canteen after keeping my books in my locker.
I went to sit with Ollie, as usual, as I only had her. I told her all about Edward and tutoring. Her mouth made an O shape while listening. "What if he likes you and chemistry is just a way to get you in his bed", she said with a wink. I had slapped her arm lightly but she still made an
'ouch' sound. "There is no way the 'school jock' likes someone like me, he probably really just needs help with chemistry", I said with a sad tone."Let's see", she said as she packed her bag and stood up from her chair. "I have a class in 2 minutes", she said and I nodded my head. She turned back to say, "Get in his pants girl", with a smirk on her face.
I shake my head at her boldness. A surprise that a confident girl like her
is best friends with someone shy like me. Well, they do say 'opposites attract'.
----AFTER SCHOOL, IN CHEMISTRY CLASS----
I was going through my notes as I was waiting for Edward to come. He isn't punctual, huh. It was 3:15 and we had decided for 3. Finally I saw him at the door at 3:23. Ugh, late, very late. "I am sorry, had some business to take care of", he said as he made his way to where I was sitting.
"Yeah, it's okay, so first let's just begin with the basics." "Yeah okay", he agreed blankly.
After 60 minutes, we were done for the day. "So we have 2 months to complete our syllabus so 1 hour is okay for everyday, right?" "Yeah, I am okay with anything as long as I get a B in mid-term." "Hmm, will see you tomorrow", I said. "Yeah, thank you", he said with a slight smile. I mirrored his smile and headed back home with Ollie who was staying back for her cheerleading thing.
I went to my room after hugging my mom in the kitchen. I was kinda sad because 1 hour was really short to sit side by side with Edward.
The way his hand brushed against mine as I tutored him sent jolts of currents through my body. He is really quiet which kind off amused me as even though he doesn't talk much, all girls cling to him like magnet. I bet he has slept with at least 10 girls or something. Well I had more important things to worry about.I spent the rest of the day in my room studying; I came out at the time of dinner.
*NOW*
So yeah, this is how I got the job of tutoring school's hottest guy. Now, I am lying on the bed thinking why the hell he chose me to tutor him when there were hundreds of smarties out there dying to tutor him.
There's 0.005% chance that Ollie was right about him liking me, but again maybe it's just my body that he likes not my character. He really
wants to ace the mid-terms, so I am gonna help him do that and keep my desires to myself. After thinking a lot about Edward I finally turn off the bedside light and drift off to sleep.
[ALARM SOUNDS] Ugh I hate mornings, I say to myself before turning off my alarm and getting out of my bed.I put on my slippers and head to the bathroom to brush my teeth. After brushing my teeth I took a warm bath. I look for an outfit for the day.
Umm.... Today I am gonna go with my red crop top for the very first time in a year I guess. I only wear it for anything special like some birthday parties or stuff. And before you think no I am not wearing it to impress Edward...ish. 'Yes, you are' my conscience jumps in to say so.Okay, fine I am wearing to impress Edward but I am a 17 years old girl, I need to go back to my fashion obsession which I willingly lost to laziness and comfort zone. For the same reason(s) I first put on moisturizer, then foundation and then I slap on some compact.
I add eyeliner and lightest shade of red lipstick to finish up the look.I take my bag and head down to kitchen and see my mom. She is very pretty; she has hazel brown hair just like mine and dark brown eyes.
She always looks smart in her long top and plazo pants. She is a housewife, a great mother to me and my elder brother, Sean, who doesn't live here anymore. He lives in a college hostel.
My mom is a great wife as well, who always stands by my father no matter what. She even teaches young students if she gets time.
My mom stares at me and then finally speaks, "Good morning dear, you look wow." "Good morning mom and thank you", I reply and my mom gives me a smile. "Mom, can you please pass me my mug?" I ask. She takes my mug and passes it to me. "Thank you so much, mom." "No problem, honey." I am gonna make espresso for myself....
I am drinking my coffee when someone knocks on the door. My mom is washing her hands to check who is it but I say," It's okay, I will." She smiles at me and gets back to her work. I open the door to see Ollie standing there.
"Hi Ollie, good morning. " "I don't have time to reply that, so just take your bag and come with me, I want to tell you something", she says really fast. "Calm down, come inside and talk to me." I try. "No, just come." "Fine, I will bring my bag and coffee, then we can go." "Good and hurry." I practically run to my mom to hug her and say goodbye.
"Bye mom, love you," I say bye to her. "Bye, love you too." I run to take my bag and coffee, then to door to head out with Ollie. "Now, tell me." I say, intrigued."Get in the car first." I do as she says. "Now?" She also comes inside the car and sits at the driver's seat. "There is a rumor that yesterday Edward and Amelia Warner had sex in a bathroom stall in school yesterday after the school was over. Around 3:10 p.m. to be exact", she finishes.
