I hate mondays. Time seems to be worse on Mondays, like it's really supposed to go longer than usual as if it's not crappy already. But mondays are slowly warming up to me. Because mondays starts with going to school and what does going to school require? A ride.

I can't say I enjoy it out loud but I do like the fact that I'm getting to know Will - the guy I met in a bar that turned out to be my brother's friend and turned out to be totally unpredictable yet still totally different from how I thought he is - better because we spend a lot of time together now.

And even though the front of the school was swimming with teenagers fooling around and trying to get home, I saw him on his bike, leaning slightly on it, with a smirk on his lips, obviously amused with high school. The sight of him immediately brought a smile to my face although I immediately tried to hide it.

"Woah, where the hell did that come from?" Amanda asked, studying my face mockingly, as if she was honestly astonished that I managed to do it.

She meant the smile. Though I had a good start of the day, the rest of it sucked.

My smiles were wiped off entirely during my physics class and I was partnered with Clint for our project. Honestly, it's like fate is messing with me. I couldn't do anything about it too because Mr. Wells was in a bad mood, none of us even dared to talk, apart from Clint of course.

I wanted to hide the fact that I liked Will from my friends but I coudn't not tell Mitch about it. And I swear it's just a crush. It really is!

I rolled my eyes at my friends and spoke up before any of them could. "He's just doing my brother a favor." Because it's true and as much as I'd like to think otherwise, it's a cold hard fact. I'm assuming I'm even off limits because sometimes when they're hanging out at home, I'd hear them talk about bro code and he's always saying that 'by making him a third wheel, they've just broken a code.'

"Right." Amanda said, forcing my mind back into the conversation. "Well, he's doing me a favor by looking so hot."

I couldn't help but laugh. Does everybody get attracted to him? I mean seriously, everyone that sees him just likes him.

"So, you gotta go now then?" Amanda asked, raising her eyebrows, she knows I'd have to but she still chose to make fun of that fact.

I shrugged. "I have to. He's already doing so much for me."

"Then don't make him wait." Mitch said pushing me away from them playfully.

I rolled my eyes. "You guys suck." I said before leaving.

When I finally reached him I tried so hard to hide my goofy smile from him, but I realized I didn't need to because he was mirroring the exact smile I had on. I don't know what it is about this guy, but he just makes me do or say stuff I normally wouldn't.

"Where to, ma'am?" He asked with a smirk.

The driving set up had been going on for a week now and ever since he kept on calling me ma'am. It sounds awkward. But I won't tell him that because it looks like he likes it.

I actually feel shy to face him today because last Friday was supposed to be our date but it didn't happen because I had to cancel it. It's not like my schedule's full but I forgot to do a project that was due today and it took me the whole weekend plus friday to finish the whole damn thing.

"Uh... do you want to go somewhere else?" I asked him just so I'd stop feeling bad about cancelling on him and took his helmet.

He looked at me curiously, as if the question surprised him but was trying hard to not make it obvious. It still was. "Um.. let's eat, is that okay?" He asked.
