Chapter 5

Me: I told you *bats eyelashes rapidly*
You: *blank face*
Me: Aww! I love you too <3 *pinches cheeks*

Having Ethan Hemming sit beside me for one whole hour was quite.... entertaining?

I was back home on my bed snuggling onto my blanket, -wearing my pizza jumper of course- having strange talks with myself.

An idea struck me and I suddenly froze,. I then squealed, had World War III with my blanket then finally rushed to my mirror.

'He definitely likes me'

Flashback

Nearly fifteen minutes before the end of the day, Mr. Chase assigned a project. A 'pick your own partner' project to be more specific.
Now, everyone in this school knows that Ethan always, and I mean ALWAYS, partners up with his best friend, Ryder.

So when everyone scattered around to choose their partners, I waited for everyone to be done so that I can be partnered up with whoever's left.
I was shocked. No, shocked is too simple. I was shell-shocked when Ethan didn't stand up and go to Ryder. What scared me the most though, was the mischievous smile he wore while relaxing and leaning back on his chair.

Ryder had a short line of girls waiting beside his desk so that they could ask him to be their partner. Ryder rejected all of them and looked a little irritated the Ethan hadn't come up to him yet. So when he turned around and saw that Ethan wouldn't be moving a muscle, he sighed and went to take the chair beside him.

Ethan shook his head and gave Ryder an apologetic smile. To say that Ryder was hurt would be an understatement. Hurt, anger followed by embarrassment ran through Ryder's face.

After Ryder left and accepted Stephanie's, a beautiful cheerleader, offer, Ethan turned around so quickly I swear it made me see stars. He grinned widely and raised a perfectly sculpted brow at me. I gave him a confused look and scrunched my brows together.

Oh. Oooooh.
He was asking me to be his partner. Wait, WHAT?! Ethan Hemmings asked me to be his partner?

Flashback Over

So yeah, you guessed it, I agreed.

I didn't agree because I've had a crush on him for a teeny wheeny while. Nor did I agree because he looked like a Greek god when he asked me to be his partner.
Okay, maybe I did.

But you can't blame me. Nobody can. I mean, just imagine that a really really hot guy asked you to be their partner for a project. You wouldn't be able to say no would you?
Exactly.

'He soooooo has a crush on me.'
*Squeal*
'Oh My God!'
*Squeal*
'My life is a wattpad story! In the end, Ethan will tell me how he's had a crush on me since freshman year. I'll be the clueless girl who's oblivious to his feeling but would end up falling for him and then he'll ask me to be his girlfriend and I'll say yes and we'll live happily ever after!'
*Squeal*

My thoughts flew out of the window when knocks were heard on my door.
Two knocks to be specific.

Thank God! I breathed out a sigh of relief and opened the door for Sam.

Two knocks. 'It's me'.
