Turns out that Ry just had a little bit of the flu and after two days he was fine. So that's why I'm standing here with Kelson, wondering why everyone is staring at that girl Zoella. I turned to look at Kelson who was busy typing on his phone.

I nudged his arm. "Kelson, why is everyone staring at that girl Zoella?"

"Huh? Oh, um, her parents got arrested two nights ago. Nobody really knows why, though." He grunted out.

"Oh, okay," I said. "See you later."

"Yup." He grunted out again.

When school got out, I was still surprised by how much homework that we got. Maybe it was just because I was used to not having homework or maybe because I was used to killing people. I don't know which is which, but I do know that what I have in my bag is way too much for one person to have.

I sighed.

I walked over to my 2014 Ducati 1199 Panigale S and hopped on. I didn't know what I was going to do because Ryland was having a sleepover with a friend and Kelson was having a 'sleepover' with his lady friend. Okay, so maybe giving up girls was a little bit overboard but -

I was cut off from thinking when I saw a girl walking across the road. I swore, loudly, and slammed on the brakes. I jumped off my bike and was ready to yell at the asshole that walked in front of me, but then I noticed a couple things. One being the white ear plugs of a phone. Second being the wavy blonde hair that I couldn't help but think about.

It was Zoella Reese.

I walked over, putting a shit-eating grin on my face. While I was getting ready to talk to her about what just happened, I notice the sway of her hips. With that thought in my head, I could feel my dick twitch.

I sighed. This can't happen. Just stop think-

My thoughts were cut off my a punch to the gut and a kick to my lower back when I had doubled over. I groaned and looked up to see who it was. I felt my face scrunch up in confusion and my eyes pop out of my head. Plus, I could guarantee that my jaw had dropped to the sidewalk...which it already kinda was.

"Zoella?" I croaked out.

"N-Nolan?" She stuttered. "What the h-hell?" Was it just me or was she scared?

"What the fuck was that?" I almost yelled. Why did she just beat the shit out of me?

"I-I...Just...It's...I have to go." She sputtered out.

"Wait!" I said, scrambling up to my feet and reaching out to grab her shoulder. "You need a ride?"

"Um, no thanks." She looked down, blushing.

I was about to argue with her but before I could even open my mouth, she had already spun on her heel and was hurrying down the sidewalk away from me. I shook my head confused.

She was the nerd at school, right? So why would she be able to fight like that? And the way she was surprised to see me talking to her...? Speaking of talking to her, why was I talking to her? She almost made you crash dumbass. My oh-so-kind subconscious filled me in. Did I even bring that up to her? Nope, I didn't. What the fuck was wrong with me?

I sighed and walked over to where I parked my bike, I was ready to get home and just space out...after doing my homework of course. Then maybe watch some TV until Kelson came home from his hock-up so that we could go and watch our targets.

I cursed under my breath. Was it bad that I could plan out my entire night in just a couple of minutes? Because I knew that that was what was going to happen.

It probably was...

***

The night before went exactly as I had planned it. I had done my homework, watched some Supernatural, and waited for Kelson to come home so that we could watch our targets. I was really started to hate that I could plan out my nights before they even started.

So here I am, sitting in the middle of History, listening to Mr. Daniels drone on about the L.A riots that happened in 1992. He was talking about some sort of project that we would be doing with a partner. Great. I just hoped that mine was Kelson because he was in this class.

Or maybe a certain blonde.

"Okay, class, you will be having assigned partners. The list is on the door. Please read it and get with your partner." He paused, scanning the room. "This is worth forty percent of your grade so no fooling around. It's due in three weeks with a presentation. Any questions?"

A girl that was in the front of the row shot her arm up like it was on fire. Teacher's pet. Was the first thing in my mind.

"What type of presentation?" The girl - Molly Barker - asked.

"Any kind. PowerPoint, poster, essay, etc. But you will be presenting it in front of the class so something visual is highly recommended." Molly was writing everything he said down, probably to a 'T'.

"You may begin."

I quickly walked over to the door and began scanning down the list.I silently chuckled when I saw that Kelson was paired with Molly. I sobered up quickly when I saw who I was paired with. The one and only blonde that had been taking up most of my thinking time.

The one and only Zoella Reese. Looks like I was going to get to know her a little bit better over these couple of weeks.
