Beauty and the Geek

Chapter Three

PAISLEY MORGAN

'Paisley! What have you got?'

I turned around to see Charlotte and her gang. I faked a smile 'I have cooking in A4'

'No way! Nat has that aswell.' She looked at her friend.

Charlotte coughed and Sophia pushed her forward and laughed.

Natalie faked a smile at me. God, at least when I do it I look genuine.

'Yay. We have a class together. I am so excited.' She spoke in a monotone.

'Yeah!' I cleared my throat. We arrived at the class and entered through the doors.

CONOR WAYWARD

Paisley and Natalie walked in. Paisley was lovely, but she was friends with her?! What did I expect, of course she was going to be popular.

'Class! Shut up!' The teacher groaned.

'Now get into pairs before I do it for you!' I frantically looked around as I had no friends in this class.

Paisley walked over to me.

'Hi' She said.

'Hi'

'Do you have a partner?' She asked

'Oh, um... no I- I don't have a partner.' She giggled.

'Would you mind if I partnered up with you?'

'Oh, uh, yes! I mean, no, I don't mind.'

She grinned.

'Awesome. For a minute I thought you would make me partner up with' She eyed Natalie.

'I'm not that bad' I smiled as she did the same.

'Alright, students! Get the ingredients and take them back to your work station.'

'I'll get the leeks, potato and salt and you get the flour and herbs.' She ordered.

'Sure' I ran off to get the things Paisley asked me to get.

We both returned and set the ingredients out.

'Ok, so first we...' She scanned the recipe 'Put the vegetables in the pot. Seems easy enough.'

I grabbed the potatoes and put them in, and she picked up the leeks and hovered them above the pot.

'Leek, I am your father' I turned to face her, making sure she just quoted star wars.

We both laughed hysterically as she dropped the leeks into the pot. 

'You've seen star wars?' I asked when I stopped laughing.

'Only a million times!' Paisley responded. Jesus Christ, I think I'm in love.

'Who's your favourite character?'

'Is that even a question? Yoda!'

'I know right!' We both laughed in unison again.

'Oh god' She sighed 'Where have you been all my life?' She rested her head on my shoulder. I blushed furiously again. Being the most awkward human being, I was extremely embarassed when people even brushed passed me.

'Conor?'

'Yeah?'

'What do you want to do when you leave school?'

'I know it sounds lame, and funny coming from me because I'm so awkward but, I want to be a singer/songwriter.'

'No way! So do I! I mean, I'm absolutely awful at both of them, but I love writing and singing and performing so I'll do whatever it takes to do it.'

'Same. I mean, could you imagine singing in a sold out arena to a bunch of loving fans, screaming your name? It would be the dream.' Paisley smiled.

 A.N I'm sorry it's so short again, I JUST CAN'T RIGHT NOW
