Love Is Strong

Chapter 2

Adaieh's P.O.V.

It's 2nd hour and I'm in this class, science, by myself. I still can't get the fact that Andre smirked at Becca. What the actual fuck! I'm over reacting. He probably did to throw her off or something? I don't know. Okay, wow now I'm making excuses for him. What I need to do is just ask him nicely. Why in the world would he even think about-

"Hey, your Adaieh right?"

Oh my gosh!! Bryan freaking Williams was actually talking to me. Without even trying he's still hot. His black, short sleeve shirt really did show off his muscles. Not being able to trust my words just in case I say something that would embarrass myself, I just nodded.

Be cool Adaieh, be cool.

"Well cool then. Is anyone sitting next to you?"

"No."

What was I thinking about again?

"Good. So you wouldn't mind if I sit next you then?"

"But then that'll mean you'll have to be partners with me?"

"Yeah that was the point."

Of course that was the point.

"Oh, yeah, I knew that." I scooted my books from the space beside me so he can sit. I cannot believe he wants to be my partner and wasn't force.

He took a sit next to me and a breeze of his cologne sweep me off my feet. It smells so good.

"-what do you think?"

"Huh?" He was talking? This is embarrassing.

He chuckled.

"I said, I know we're just now talking but I've been noticing you around and you seem cool. Maybe you'll like to come to Becca's party Saturday?"

"I thought you and Becca broke up?"

"We did, but that doesn't mean I can't go to her party. What she gonna do throw me out?" He laughed.

"Oh right. Ummm, I don't know."

I may be a tom boy or whatever but parties aren't my thing. I'd rather stay home and read a good book. Parties are more of Sarah's thing.

"Oh come on, if you're scared I'll protect you," He smirked, his smirk is so hot. "And if it helps you can bring your friends, Andre and that red head."

"Sarah?"

Of course Sarah, what other red head do you hang out with?

"Yeah her, she seems cool."

Maybe he's right. Maybe I should go. It is my last year. I don't want to grow old and tell my grandkids that I never went to a party when I was in high school. Plus if something goes wrong I can just tell Andre to take me home. Sarah will most likely drunk or hooking up with some guy or both.

"Yeah, I guess I'll go."

His smile was so... let's just say it was hard to not smile.

"Okay, cool. So I'll see you there?"

"Yes you will."

"Good, I hope I get to have a dance with you."

I was cut off by Mr. Anderson, the teacher. Good, I didn't know what to say next. I most likely was going to say something stupid.

"Okay class. The person that is now sitting next to you is your partner for the semester. Hope your happy with the person you got."

I stole a quick glance at Bryan, while he was doing the same thing. He smirked and I looked away so he wouldn't see my blush. I am most definitely happy with who I have.

I couldn't even think straight. I keep thinking what just happened. Does that count as a date? No, why would I even think that? There's no way that Bryan just asked me out on a date.

"Adaieh?"

"Hmm?" I snapped out of my gaze and realized that everybody's eyes was on me. Even Bryan's. How did I not notice him starring?

"I asked you a question and now I need you to answer it." Mr. Anderson said.

I didn't say anything, I couldn't say anything. What was I suppose to say? This is why I hate it when I daydream in class.

"I need an answer Miss Mathews."

Dang it! Why he had to choose me out of twenty-five other student?

"Uhhh."

I might as well give up, there's no way around this.

"Sorry sir, I don't know." I sighed.

This is so embarrassing. Everybody laughed. Well everybody except Brian. Bless him.

"Perhaps you should consider not daydreaming in my class and pay attention. Next time this happens you'll have detention." He turned back around while everybody 'ooh'.

Detention?! Really?! Just because I wasn't paying attention!? This is ridiculous! Is that really necessary? The first day of a new semester and I already got in some kind of trouble.

Thanks to the dirty, rotten, old teacher.

"Miss Mathews! Detention! Now!" He pointed at the door with his wooden pointer.

"What!? I didn't even do anything!"

"Playing stupid, talking back, and saying disrespectful things?"

"I didn't do any of those!"

"The words 'dirty, rotten teacher' didn't come out your mouth?"

He was glarring at this time and the students was trying to keep their laughs in, most of them failing.

I gasped. I literally felt the blood leave my face.

"Do I have to repeat myself?"

At that time everybody got quite.

I sighed lazily, gathered my stuff and headed to the detention room. This isn't my first time. I'm always late to class and that results me to the detention room. But this is the first time for me to go to here for 'disrupting the class'.

'DETENTION ROOM' It says in big bold letters. Home sweet home. As I was about to open the door I saw someone in the corner of my eye. I saw... Becca. Well no surprise there. She's always in the hallways thinking she so popular to be in class.

Wait, there was somebody else with her. You could tell by the height that it wasn't one of her drones. It some guy. He was whispering in her ear. Either that or they was making out. Wouldn't be surprise. It looked like...

I shook my head in horror.

It couldn't be!

I hurried inside the room. I was breathing hard and all. I don't see how I wasn't even running. I probably looked crazy 'cause the way the other kids was looking at me funny. I would be laughing by now if I wasn't startled.

I clamed down and went to my seat. I've been here so many times this chair is practically mine. Nobody dares to sit in it. It's not like I'm scary or I want people to be scared of me. I'm just respected.

"Miss Mathews. I was starting to think that you wasn't going to come today. I stand corrected." Mr. Gregory always use sarcasm when it comes to me. Probably because we knew each other for a long time. It's our thing.

"Glad to know you missed me Alex." I smirked.

"That's Mr. Gregory. Just like everybody else."

"Oh come on Alex," A kid named Sherry said. "You know us all to well to know we're not like everbody else."

Some of the other kids laughed. There's Sherry, Austin, Cole, Sam (Samantha), Luke, Robby, and Diana.

I'll laugh too but my mind drifted to what, or should I say who, I saw. I only got four words for that. What. The. Actual. Fuck?
