Lasse x Callista
I stared at him from across, his deep brown eyes focused on the math paper in front of him. He rolled his pen around in his hand as his foot tapped the floor underneath his desk.

Next to me, Jovinca was arguing with Kenoah, most likely over her not wanting to give him her math answers. I sighed, tired of them. Tasha was so much better than them.

I looked back down on my paper and tried rereading the question that I was stuck in. But to no avail. I read the words but none of it went into my brain.

Again, my eyes automatically darted across the room, but instead of being met with his black, greasy hair, I was charged head on with his brown pearly orbs. His eyes were full of something that I had never seen before, and my chest filled with a new feeling that I had never felt for him before.

I quickly looked away, but I could feel my face flushing bright red and I instinctively picked up my pen and started doodling on my paper. Alyssa must've noticed something was up, so she raised an eyebrow at me before turning around again and facing her paper.

Right when I was finishing my doodle of a daisy flower, the bell outside rang and everyone around me began standing up.

I sighed in relief, desperate to go buy my daily chicken drumstick, and began packing my things into my desk and bag. Next to me, Tasha and Jovinca stood up and started walking to the door and I followed them out.

"Kenoah!!! Stop it!!" We heard from behind us right as I was about to ask them about their math worksheets. We turned around and saw Alyssa yelling at Kenoah.

He raised his arms up in frustration. "I didn't take your stupid fucking book, you-" But he wasn't able to finish the sentence because Alyssa ripped his mask off and pushed him off the roof.

We all giggled because Alyssa was a silly little baka sometimes, and that's why we loved her.

"Did you guys finish your math worksheets?" Jovinca asked Tasha and I, distracting us from Alyssa and Noah. Tasha shook her head no, but right as I was about to answer my feet slipped from under me.

My body prepared myself to hit the cold hard ground painfully, but the force never game. Two, strong rough arms caught my back before I fell, and I looked back and caught eyes with the same familiar shining brown crispy chocolate orbs.

Lasse smoldered at me, his mouth a straight tight line. "You good?" He asked me, his rough hands on my waist, tightly stabilizing me before letting go. He looked me up and down and I felt a stream of butterflies going down my stomach.

"Y-y-yeah I'm okay... thanks," I mumbled before rushing off to join Jovinca and Tasha. I internally slapped myself for stuttering so much, because I realized what a silly little baka I sounded like.

"Callista do you want to talk about that?" Jovinca asked me with a raised eyebrow.

I shook my head. "I-I don't know what you mean," I said, trying to make them forget that anything had happened between Lasse and I.

"Are you sure, cause you're face is redder than Jason," Tasha said in her really amazing voice. My face went an even brighter shade of red, and shyness filled my veins.

I sighed, gathering my courage. "Lasse and I have been giving each other these looks all day, and it's just kinda weird and then that happened. I'm sure it's nothing though."

They both gaped at me, their eyes filled with disappointment and shock. "You like Lasse...?" Jovinca said in shock.

"Who likes Lasse?" Annabelle said from behind us. She was walking with Satoka and they both had curious looks on their faces.

I shook my head immediately and quickly replied with "Nobody." They raised my eyes at me but thankfully they dropped the subject, but Jovinca and Tasha continued to laugh at me.

I didn't know that this one day would be the start of it all with my greasy haired boy.
