I walked to my 4th period class where I seen Roc sitting in his seat. It's only a few days into the beginning of the school year and I'm already falling for him hard.

I began walking to my seat. I looked at him as I walked past him, and yet, he paid no mind to me.

I sat in my seat diagonal from his and just looked at the side of his face. Once again I began to stare without noticing. He must've felt me eyes on him because he snapped his head towards me.

I looked down at my algebra book as our teacher, Mr. Rynes, began to explain the lesson.

"Today, we will be pairing up for an assignment. What you will do is take out your homework from last night and compare your answers with the person of your choice. " Mr. Rynes said.

"Whatever answers you two have differently, work together to find the correct answer. Once all the problems are completed, turn in your work. You have the rest if the class period. " He said. "You may began. "

I had no friends or associates in this class. I know that a lot of girls in our school, let alone this class, has a thing for Roc and his brothers. Before one of the other girls could get a chance to, I decided to try my luck and ask Roc to be my partner.

I ran to his desk before the others girls could. They all gave me angry glares but I ignored them. I looked down at him and smiled.

"Would you like to be my partner?" I smiled. He looked at me for a while as if he were reading my mind.

"Sure. " He finally said.

I slowly turned the desk infront of him around and sat down. I pulled out my homework. We sat there in an awkward silence. I began to nervously tap my pencil on the desk.

"Ayana right?" He asked unexpectedly.

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"Uh, we're in the same class. " He said in a 'duh' tone.

I'm so stupid.

"Oh yeah, right. So.... I guess we should get started. " I insisted. He completely ignored the question.

"Why are you so nervous?" He asked giving me the side eye.

"What?" I asked. "I'm not nervous. Why do you think I'm nervous?"

"Nothing. " He said lowly as he lifted his paper. "Number 1. I got 47 for the answer. "

"I did too. " I said examining my paper.

"Number 2. I got 16. "

"I did too." I said again not paying attention to my paper, but more to his facial features.

His skin was flawless. Not a pimple or sign of acne in sight. He lips were plump and his teeth were white as snow, straight, and somewhat very sharp.

"No you didn't. " He said sternly looking at me. I broke out of my trance and looked at my paper.

"Oh. " I said embarrassed. "How did you know that?"

"You ask too many questions. " He said returning to his paper.

"Sorry. I'm just.... Curious. " I said, my voice shaking from nervousness.

"Curiosity killed that cat. " His voice appeared deeper. His eyes never left his paper.

I didn't like the way that sounded. Gosh, I bet he hates me right now.

"Yeah, um. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. " I said.

"Why? You don't have to use it and besides, Mr. Rynes isn't going to let you leave the room. "

The first part was true. I didn't have to use the bathroom. I ignored him and went to ask Mr. Rynes anyways.

"Excuse me. " I said interrupting him from his computer. "Can I please use the restroom?"

"No Ayana. I'm sorry but you need to get this work done. " He said returning to his computer.

What the hell?

"Please, I really have to go. " I pleaded.

"You're a senior in high school. You're old enough to know to use it before you come to class. " Mr. Rynes declined. "Please return to your partner Chresanto. "

I rolled my eyes and walked back to my seat. I slumped irritably into the chair and folded my arms on my desk.

"I told you. " Roc said.

"Yeah whatever Chresanto. " I mocked.

I probably shouldn't have called him that for I know he hates that name. That's why everyone calls him Roc.

He looked up at me, making it impossible to read his expression.

"My name is Roc." He said lowly. "Are we going to finish this assignment or what?"

I could tell I was getting on his nerve. I just decided to go along with him.

Once again, I screwed up.
