Chapter 5 :Insomnia

Ryan POV

Angel in the m/m

Next Day

It was 2:00 AM and I still wasn't asleep. I have the worst insomnia so it makes sleeping extremely difficult. That's the reason I'm late for school most of the time not because I'm lazy. When I can't go to sleep my mind starts to wonder. I start to think about my day. What stood out the most for me was this girl Angel I got partnered with for an econ project. I've seen her around school before but she tends to fade into the background. To be honest I wasn't thrilled that she was my partner but because I arrived late I didn't have a say in the matter. When I tried to get out of doing the work she completely shut me down.

"That's not going to happen. We are both going to equally participate. I refuse to do all the work and you take all the credit. If you don't contribute I will leave your name off".

That was the first time anyone has ever spoken to me like that. It intrigued me. For the first time I really looked at her, and I liked what I saw. She's beautiful. Its not a secret that I'm a hot commodity at JS High School. I was desired by many girls and envied by the guys.
I was shocked that flirting with her didn't work. I've never been shut down before. On the bright side I can tell that I make her nervous. It was a dead giveaway when she almost stopped breathing when I invaded her personal space and whispered in her ear. Angel never did contact me but I know she will eventually, this project is worth a good majority of our grade. When I walked out of class I can tell that I left her flustered. I spent the rest of the day asking around about her. I got mixed responses. Not a lot of people knew her and the people who did had nice things to say. By now the student body was aware that we were partners so no one was suspicious about me asking questions. During these next two weeks I can see myself getting to know her better. I'm not trying to date her or anything but I definitely want to push her buttons and see how far this can go. In the corner of my eye I see my phone flashing a green light, notifying me that I have a text. I smirked when I saw who it was.

Unknown: Hey it's Angel. Can we meet up today to start working on our project?

Me: Sure, meet me at my house around 4.

Unknown: Ok

Things are definitely about to get interesting. Let the games begin.

Angel POV

This is the second time in one week that I haven't been able to sleep because I keep thinking about Ryan. I keep tossing and turning trying to comprehend what in hell happened today. I was so conflicted that telling Janelle what happened never even entered my mind. She's going to lose her mind when she finds out.

I couldn't turn my thoughts off. Why did I have to let him turn me into a flustered lunatic whenever he invaded my personal space? Is it obvious that I'm a virgin? Is he even attracted to me? I keep hearing Janelle's voice in my head telling me to put myself out there. I never did contact him like he told me to. Should I text him? I'm just going to text him real quick, hopefully he isn't up. I grab my phone from my night stand and began texting.

Me: Hey it's Angel. Can we meet up today to start working on our project?

I was surprised that he texted back immediately. Why is he still up?

Ryan: Sure, meet me at my house around 4.

He wants me to go to his house? Damn, I have to mentally prepare before that happens. If He can get me flustered in a crowded room, imagine what can happen when we're alone.

Me: Ok

Things are definitely about to get interesting. I just hope I'm ready for it.
