ONE LAST TIME

You nervous?

Juvena's pov
I froze unable to process my thoughts. The whole class is watching.
It is way too obvious.
What is happening? I could feel his hand firmly grasping my wrist and he was whispering.
At first I couldn't make out anything. Then his voice became distinct.
"Stop ditching me. I need a brain next to me in class!" He chuckled.
I let out my breath I didn't realise I was holding.
He is turning out to be a really bad distraction and I am pretty damn sure my head is not at all gonna be in the class today.

I grinned.
"You are gonna be a major distraction!"
Wait what?

I clamped my hand over my
mouth.
Did I just say that? Shit..
Abort mission. Juve come on,get hokd of yourself and  crawl out of this situation. You can do it.
Ethan turned staring at me wide-eyed.
Oh no!
I can see that smirk forming and Jesus, he fucking looks like A greek god right now.

Then he wolf whistled lowly making me instantly blush.
Agh! I am so screwed.
" That was news!"
That cheek.
I made a face and pinched him hard. Youtube sensation or not, he is still an exchange student who happened to give me a freaking bad bruise yesterday with his elbow.  And I can become immune to that face for a while.
For a little while.
Fine. Make it 3 seconds maximum.
"Ouch!"
He cried rubbing his arm and mock glaring at me.
"Why do you do that woman?"
I snort.
"You know that don't you! You are accurately aware of how attractive you are."
Instantly he morphed back into his bad boy self.
He laughed and shook his head.
"Really Ethan Dolan, This may sound creepy as fuck but I think I know your freaking bio data. And it's been really hard for me to behave and not squeal and jump on you."
There I go. I am dumb as hell.
I should put duct tape over my mouth and just go hibernate somewhere before he puts me on his creep list.
He looked at me astounded.
Then he smirked. Again.
What the hell?
" So if I," He pulled me closer and stared right into my eyes,his finger making small circles on my wrist,"do this,does it make you nervous?"
Holy mother trucker.
I have never understood static electricity better than I do right now.
And that coming from me is saying a lot.
My breath again got caught. This was insane. The whole class had their heads turned towards us.
What happened to privacy and shit people?
I struggled to smile. Where are my comebacks? Vacationing in hawaii?
"Nope...not at all!"
He laughed and stepped back.
"Genuinely I am glad you don't squeal and blah blah..makes me feel normal."
This is precisely why I love this guy.
He is so down to earth you feel like crying as to why guys like.him hardly exist.
I nodded leading him towards my desk.
Riya will have to shift. She is going to slaughter me. Just then she entered laughing and talking to one of the exchange students.
I raised one eyebrow at Ethan.
I mouthed,"Who is he?"
He shook his head in disbelief.
"Mckanzie. He is genuinely insane. I have never seen him talk to a girl like this before."

I glanced at Mckanzie.
He looked sweet,cute and sort of troublesome.
"What do you mean?"
He ran his fingers through his hair and bit his lower lip.
" He is a troublemaker but when he loves someone, you know that person is lucky."
I looked at Riya. They looked so happy in their own bubble. Just then she noticed me and waved.
I smiled back bracing myself for her to start screaming at me.
She saw the way I had arranged the desk and laughed.
"Ooh I see!"
Mckanzie did some wierdly cool hand thing with Ethan and then turned towards me.
"Hey, Juvena right?"
"Yeah..wait. How do you know my name?"
He bit his lower lip and turned towards Ethan .
Ethan was glaring at him.
"Hello?"
He smiled sheepishly.
Ethan was busy tapping away at his phone.
Mckanzie pointed towards him and smiled cheekily.
I made a face at him and pointed towards Riya.
She was busy searching for her books.
I smiled cheekily at him. He turned and blushed.
What the actual fuck?  He is a troublemaker?
Just then the teacher entered.

Crap!  Should have known there is Chemistry.
I flopped down on the chair as Ethan looked up amused.
He pulled the other chair out and sat.
Gently he nudged my elbow.
" Which subject ?"
I put my head low and whispered back.
"Chemistry!"
He groaned softly and swiped open his phone.
Maam Clet was introducing herself and welcoming the exchange students.
6 of them were there.
Ethan looked up and smiled at her as she beamed at him.
"So let's start shall we? We will test the students who has joined us!" She smiled.
I could see Mckanzie ducking his head and I turned to see Ethan staring at my book.
I chuckled.
"What the fuck is wrong with her?I cant understand a single word!"
"Um mister, the one next to Juvena, will you be first?".
Mckanzie turned and grinned evilly.
Ethan muttered something and got up. I could see Jenny literally drooling. She was going hyper.

Ethan bent low as Ma'am Clet turned to write the question.
" Brainy, help. Okay?"
I scowled and turned.
"Okay so Can you tell me which catalyst is this?
Ethan's eyebrows were scrunched up.
He was thinking hard.
I bent down and whispered.
"Vanadium pentoxide"
He smiled softly and answered.
Riya and Mckanzie turned together and winked accusingly at me.
I flipped them off.
" Well, I am thoroughly impressed."
Ethan sat down and snaked his one arm around me.
He turned and swiftly pecked me on my cheek.
"Thanks brain!"1
I blinked once and then twice.
I could not process anything. Why does he have this effect on me?
**************After school ****
"So will you finally show me around?"
He had his one hand on my chair and the other was on the desk,his fingers drumming.
I turned fixing my hair.
"You know I am not suppose to be roaming with you.I 'll be screwed.!"
He put his bottom lip out and looked at me.
"Come on Juve! Please!"
Juve.
The way my name rolled of his tongue flawlessly made me tingle inside.
I smiled giving in.
"Fine. If I get caught, you were lost so I was helping you."
He nodded pumping his fist.
"So I get  a hot girl as my guide?"
I laughed, my cheeks flushing.
He just called me hot.
I can't breathe.
I am about 5'8 and thin. I had a wheatish complexion and light brown eyes which usually stands out.
Ryan loved my eyes. He told me so.
I don't know if it was another one of his lies. I don't care.
He was the stormy grey that I didn't need. I needed the soothing sunset. I had enough hurricane in me.
"Juve,you droned out?"
I snapped back only to find Ethan looking at me worried and confused.
I smiled and mumbled a sorry.
I grabbed his hand by instinct and then suddenly pulled away.
That spark when I touched his hand startled me.
Ethan looked up with a glean in his eyes.
The class is empty.
It is 2 pm and who the hell will want to sit in here?
"So I have this effect on you?"
I stuttered," N..no..what do you think?"
He smirked.
That devillish smile enough to stop my heartbeat.
I turned away biting my lips .
I am going to end up kissing him right here if he doesn't stop .
He was still smiling. And then slowly he leaned in.
Oh god! I can't.
His hand wrapped around mine and then suddenly his mouth is right next to my ear.
"Can we go now,sugar?'
I cringed at the name. But at the same time his warm breath was making my skin tingle.
I stepped back.
"Pathetic name!"
He laughed,"  Yeah! Sweetie?"
I laughed recovering a bit from his hotness assualt.
Then I leaned in.
He thinks only he can play the game.
Ethan stiffled. I pecked his cheek close to his lips and pulled back smiling.
His eyes are wild and his jaws are clenched.
Yeah! I like the effect I have on him.
I turned and walked out dragging him with me.
"So where do you wanna go?"
I asked scanning the corridor.
What the fuck did I just do?
"Um ...I dont know. You show me.You are the guide, right honey!"
He was pulling my leg.
Suddenly his phone beeped. After that it went on beeping for 10 mins.
I was staring at him open-mouthed.
"What was that?"
He looked at me apologically and answered," I just tweeted."
"oh!"
Kind of expected that.
Suddenly,-" How does it feel to be wanted by so many?'
Can I ever learn to behave and shut up!
I looked at him sheepishly.
"Well," he put his hands in his pockets and shrugged.
Stop doing that. It turns me on.
"I mean it's awesome when hot girls like you want me"
He was smirking.
I could feel my face turning red but somehow I rolled my eyes.
"Please..who says I want you?"
Damn,I do!
He looked at me bemused.
"Yeah,you don't?"
I waved him off and dragged hin before I do something really stupid.
What is wrong with me?
How come I have all the luck and courage in the world suddenly?
How is it so easy for me to be normal with him?
