Between The Two

Chapter 7

Paige POV

Having math lesson in the morning for the first period is the best. Naahh. Scratch that. It's the worst thing ever in my life! I can literally sleep while Ms Jenny is teaching geometry. I hate geometry. I hate math.

Someone poked my right arm. What do you want Dylan?

"Your drink is delicious. I love it." Dylan whispered to me cautiously without being caught by Ms Jenny.

Suddenly, im wide awake. Really? My drink is nice? I'll just followed the ingredients and im sure the taste of it will be the same if other barista supposed to do it.

"Really? Thank you." I said without looking up at him.

"Are you working this Sunday?" Dylan asked.

"Umm... Yeah. Why?" I asked him with a knitted eyebrows.

"Thought of coming down to your cafe to buy your drinks again." He simply stated.

"Okay... Anyway, it's not my cafe. I just work there." I said.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." He chuckled. I find it cute.

"Homework for today is..." Not again!

Robert POV

Having to sit behind Paige everyday is a miracle. I could look at her wavy brown hair any time. I could see how adorable she looked when she dosed off in Ms Jenny's class. I could see how attentive she is in biology class. I could stare at her every seconds.

I saw her cheeks turning faint red when she talks to Dylan. I noticed that she wouldn't look at Dylan when they're talking. I started to feel unhappy with these scenes.

When im told that I'll be transferring class to Mrs Hemmington's class, no words can describe how happy i am to be in the same class with Paige again. That day, i purposely looked for Paige after entering the class, hoping to sit with her. Apparently, Dylan is already there. I felt...disappointed? I saw the empty seat right behind her and stride over quickly. And that's how I've been occupying this seat since then. Just to see her.

I remembered that i told my old classmate last year that i liked Paige. News spread over the whole class and soon, she found out. I was scared of what would her reaction be. But all i get is avoidance from her. Since then, i start to make as little conversation with her as possible. I thought, sooner or later I'll get over it.

Every night, i kept thinking about her. I picture her body swaying, her smile... Damn her smile, it's once in a lifetime to see. She is not like the other girls who flirt with boys or laughing out loud to catch boys attention. That's what i like about her. I can never ever stop liking her.

She is making me crazy each day.

Paige POV

Im struggling with the 3rd question of my math homework. I need to do this. I dont want a detention again. All this while I've been asking Shay and Scarlette to do my homework. Since both of them does not like biology, in return, i help them with their bio homework. I don't understand why would someone hate biology. I mean, biology is fun! Not like math!

Since both of my bae is busy today, i had to complete my homework on my own. Urrrghhhhh!!! Math, why are you so troublesome! I gave up. I wrote my name on that piece of shit and place it in my bag.

I flopped down on my bed and started tweeting.

Math sucks.

I hate math.

Just then, i received a notification on my noti bar. I swiped down the bar and clicked onto my noti.

@itsdylan reply to your tweet.

Come on, math is fun. You should start loving the subject.

I clicked reply. Never ever in a billion years.

You will. Trust me.

I pretend that i did not see his tweet. I decided to stalked his profile. I clicked on his profile picture. A group of boys posing for the picture except Dylan who is looking somewhere, not interested. His bio is so simple. So close yet so far.

Should i follow him? Wait. Since when did he followed me? A sudden happiness takes over me. Why do i feel happy? Without thinking further, i clicked follow. Within seconds, my request has been approved.
