"Good morning, Love! Wake up you don't wanna be late, so come on hurry up!" my mom greeted me happily. 

"I'm not going to school mom! I am super embarrassed; I cannot face Jonas after last night!" I said angrily while stuffing my pillow into my face. My mom chuckled and removed the pillow covering my face.

"Hmmm I think someone is having a crush" she said teasing me, while tickling my side. 

"Mom!!! It isn't funny at all! Did you saw how he looked at me dressed on my night gown?!" I said frustrated.

"Ofcourse! I saw how his eyes popped out and how his mouth left hanging open" she said proudly while laughing at my dismay.

"Mom!!!" I said.

"Come on! You are very attractive last night, I bet he fell in love with you in an instant." She chuckled before she stands up to leave. With no other choice, I take a bath and pick a very neutral outfit so I won't stand out too much - A white fitted Vaneck top, with a tattered denim pants and black Vans sneakers. I want to blend with the crowd so I can avoid Jonas Hehe.

As I went downstairs, I noticed that my mom has already left, I found a pancake and a cup of black coffee in the tabletop, with a note: 

"Goodluck with Jonas today! Make him fall harder 😉 Love, Mom " 

I can't believe her! She really knows how to tease me.

Kring kring!! - Lunch time. 

I've survived the past hours, not bumping into Jonas! Whew! I just need some excuse not to have lunch today. 

"Hey Hart! Let's go to the cafeteria" Charlie said while putting things on her locker. 

"I'm skipping lunch today; I need to meet my mom at a nearby cafe." I excused myself. 

"Oh okay. See you later" Charlie said. 

"Bye" I left, proud with the excuse I made up. So, I went to a nearby cafe outside school so I can have my lunch without being uncomfortable with Jonas. As I was about to bite my sandwich, the door opened and my eyes landed on someone, someone very very familiar! What the heck is he doing here?!

Jonas POV

I woke up early. Excited to go to school or more likely excited to see Spears. I arrived early, but the bell rang and I haven't seen her yet. 

"Hey Charlie! Have you seen Sp— uhm Hart?" I asked.

"I haven't seen her yet. Maybe she's just late. Why?" She asked.

"I just have something to tell her for our competition tomorrow. I'll just tell her later at lunch. See yah!" I said as an excuse and left. I can't focus on my classes as I keep on drifting to the memory of her last night wearing a very seductive night gown. I slapped my face hard so I can avoid having these wild thoughts about her.

"Mr. Patterson! Is there any problem?" My teacher asked. I slapped my face so hard that I didn't realize that I caused a commotion, the whole class was curious on what is going on with me.

 "Just a mosquito sir!" I said blushing. I saw some of my classmates chuckled, and luckily my teacher continues his class, not minding me anymore.

Krrinngg - Lunch

I was so excited to have lunch as Spears will be seating next to me. Her smell is very addicting. I was the first to arrived followed by, Sam and West. Ace skipped the school today so he can arrange our accomodation for the competition tomorrow. He is the leader after all. I saw, Charlie, Kate and Han walking together towards our table. But where is she? We started eating but there is no sign of Hart showing up on lunch. Charlie, noticed me and said "She's having lunch with her mom at nearby cafe, you can just call her on her phone if it's that urgent you know." She said calmly. 

"I prefer to tell her in person" I said and left. They look at each other, maybe confused and curious on to what's going on, but no one is brave enough to ask me, OfCourse except for West who can't keep himself from teasing me. 

"Missing Hart already?!" He shouts. I just continue to walk while raising my middle finger at him.
