  I hated mondays. Especially this Monday. It was our math and English test for the week.

    I never remember myself studying lately. I've been caught up with other things.

   It was just 8:20am I was standing in front of the class.
 
' PREPARE TO FAIL DEVIL'S SPAWN '

That was what was written above the class. I swallowed.

  " Love the theme?" I heard Louis's voice as he walked close and stood by my side.

   " Theme? Whoever wrote this is wishing us bad luck" I stated turning to Louis as I adjusted my glasses. He sighed slipping his hands into his pocket.
" Mr. Boudreaux wrote it. He said we didn't prepare for his English exam and we're prepared to fail"  Louis said and I scoffed with an eye roll.

   " English is a piece of cake" I said.

" I'll like to eat from that cake" He said and I lifted an eyebrow.

   " I'll help you out in math and you'll help me out in English. What do you think?" He said and I regarded him with a dull look.
  " What ever you say" I said.
   " Great! But don't tell my brother" He said and I chuckled as we both entered the class.
  " I haven't seen  him lately, remember?" I stated.

  All 12th graders offered math and English so, we were all in the same classroom. It was big and spacious enough for us.

  30 minutes later...

  I thought the math test was going to be hell for me but not after Louis kept his promise.  It was hell at first when he was busy with calculations not minding if I existed or not. I had tried whispering to him but he didn't budge.
Or did he forget? I thought. I gave up soon after but a 'pst. pst' Hope  litted in me and I looked up to see him extending his booklet to me.
What?!
At first I was scared and waved no but one scowl from him was all it took for me to snatch it up. When I was done, I stylishly handed the booklet over to him from under the desk.

  Soon enough it was English.
I giggled excitedly when the teacher handed me my papers .
This is just gonna be a piece of --

     What?!
My eyes widened at the unfamiliar question before my eyes. I had to turn the paper to check if it was an English subject or not and sure. It was English. I was so confused on how I blacked out that moment on the questions.  They were nothing like what I knew.
  Slowly I pressed the tip of my pen down to the paper I intended to share with Louis. Not my booklet.
I gotta crack my brain.

     I never knew Louis could be a disturbance.

While I was cracking up my brain trying to answer all the questions, Louis was busy whispering to me to hurry.
"Give me some time.." I whispered while still writing.

" Time? I haven't written a damn thing!" He whispered almost loudly.

   " Neither me!" I said annoyed
" Then hurry!"
Ugh ! His whispers infuriated me.
Hell ! I was doing my best to get back to him but he wouldn't stop disturbing me. When I was done, I turned and angrily shoved the paper to him then started trying to answer mine before he finished up with the paper.

Holy shit. I hadn't even gotten half a page when he started disturbing me again 😩
 
" Amberlie you didn't answer all the questions" He whispered.
" I know!": I blurted quietly without turning.
" Then finish it up!" He blurted back I ignored him.
" Amberlie. Amberlie?" He began to tap my shoulder.

I tried shrugging him off and Concentrating but he kept on whispering and tapping my shoulder.
It irked me.

" Calm down" I whispered but that was when he tapped me more.

I burst out.

  " What?!!!" I shouted angrily as sprout up and turned to glare hard at him. He flinched by my outburst and sunk back into his chair staring at me with those puppy eyes.

Now we're in TROUBLE..

All attention on us as every student turned in our direction.

" Look at what you've done asshole!" I said to him between clenched teeth. He almost melted into his chair.

   " What's going on here Miss Sheeran?" The teacher walked up to me. I remained quiet glaring at Louis.

I talk nonsense when I'm mad. It's better to stay quiet.
" Mr. Gargano?" The teacher turned to Louis for an answer.
" Nothing. Nothing's going on Mrs. Kent" He said calmly.

  " Miss Sheeran, this is a test class. You don't shout like crazy in here" The teacher scolded.

Crazy? What did she know about crazy?

" I was disturbed" I said tersely.

" By whom then?" She asked and when I remained silent she took my booklet from my desk giving me a disapproving look.

" Out!" She said tartly pointing to the exit.

To hell with her.

I angrily breezed past her out of the class.

I breezed off to the lake side.
Somehow that seemed to be the perfect place for me at that moment.

  I slumped down sitting on the slippery grass and hot tears burned out. I took off my glasses.
Louis is a jerk!

I wasn't crying because I was going to fail the test. I was crying because he made that teacher embarrass me back there.  I felt so humiliated.

F**k him and screw me for making deals with him in the first place.

" Amberlie" I heard and jumped up as I turned around to see him.

" You blew it! You made me fail a test and out of all that, you embarrassed me" I said angrily at him.
I was crying.

Louis had never seen me cry before but now he was and this dunce looks amused.

" Amused at your own folly? I hate you. Go to hell " I said sniffling.

He came back to his senses. His stupid senses. .

" I'm sorry Amberlie. I'm sorry I screwed it up " He said
" Happy now? You're gonna get all the whole credit while I fail " I said.

He rolled his attractive cornflower blue eyes.

" At least stop shedding tears. You're too pretty to cry. It's only a test "He said and I scowled. I was angry. Angry at myself for finding him attractive even with what he did.

   " Forgive please?.." He blinked innocently at me.

Kiss me I thought.
If he kissed me now I'll have one possible  answer for him. 

" Or you could possibly kiss me all you --" He wanted to start his tease but before he finished, I did the unthinkable.

   I held his arms and pulled him down before I could stop myself, I smashed his lips unto mine.

I kissed him.

   I saw Louis's eyes widened.
