                      Emily's POV ✿ ⁰ o ⁰ ✿

       I sat in the car with mom , looking outside the window as she drove . Silence filled the car , and I couldn't ask for more . I liked how calm it was , but maybe the calmness wasn't so good for my mental health , because I was sure that my brain was in shards right now .

            " Are you okay hun ? You haven't said a word ", mom asked , breaking the silence .

           " I'm fine mom , I'm just nervous about meeting Leo ", I lied , and mom seemed to believe me , because she just gave me a reassuring smile .

         " But you saw him yesterday didn't you ? ", My mom asked , and it felt like I was busted .

       " I could never get tired of seeing it though ", I responded , and mom just laughed , so I thought she believed me .

       " We're here ", mom said , parking up in front of the school gate .

         " Bye mom ", I said and got down from the car .

           " Bye hun ", my mom responded , and I walked into the school gate .

         I made my way to the hallway , thinking of how I was going to avoid Leo , or rather , make sure that he didn't ask me out to the ball .

           " Why do you look so lost ", I heard a voice say , and that shook me back to reality . It was Tara's .

           " I'm not lost , I'm just uh.... Worried about our plan ", I lied , and Tara squeezed my hand .

          " Our plan would go well , don't worry ", Tara reassured me , and I just smiled . 

           " Let's go , we have Math class ", Tara said , and my eyes widened .

          " Oh no ", I said , and we hurriedly made our way to the class .

          
           We finally reached the class , and I saw  Mr Albert , the maths teacher , walking down the class , to check what a student was doing . I and Tara made to sneak into the class .

         " Why are you two late ? ", He asked , and we froze in place . He turned to look at us , and now my palms were starting to sweat . I scanned the class , checking if there was anyone popular witnessing my embarrassment .

     Luckily , the only popular person , Leo was now my boyfriend , so there was no need to worry about his presence .

         " We aren't late , it isn't eight-thirty yet , so we aren't late , there's one minute left till eight thirty ", Tara argued , and Mr Albert sighed .

          " You got lucky this time , but next time you both will be severely punished ", he threatened , and I saw Tara eyeroll . I couldn't help but chuckle .

         " What's funny ", Mr Albert asked , and I didn't know what to say .

           " Nothing sir ", I said , and hurriedly made my way to my chair , my head bent really low , to avoid the gaze of the other students .

          " Now today , we're going to be learning trigonometry ", Mr Albert said turning to the class , and that was the last thing I heard him say , before I zoned out .

           I felt a ball of paper hit my head , and I opened it up . It read :

             ' Hey babe ,
                     I'm so tired of this lesson , what about you '
          Leo asked , and I turned over to look at him . He looked cute as always . His hands folded , he was playing with his pen .
