In my fifth period class, It was freezing. I sat at my desk with my arms inside of my shirt. Now that I think about it I should have asked Chris for a jacket. I watched as students came in wearing hoodies, jackets, and sweaters. There aren't too many things that I can't stand, and being cold is one of them. When hoodie boy walked in with his black vans hoodie, I knew what my mission was.
"Hey josh, Joshie, Joshua, Josh-Josh, my buddy, my friend-"
"Are you ok?"he stared at me like I was crazy.
"I'm just chillin" literally chillin'
"Um ok...?"he said shaking his head and going through his backpack
"So buddy," I said light punching his arm, "can um... Can I borrow your hoodie?"He froze. "Hello? Earth to hoodie boy "
"I'm sorry," he said turning to face me. "Did you just ask for my hoodie?"
"Yeah it's cold in here."
"Are you sick?" He said placing a hand on my forehead. I slapped it down.
"I'm going to be, if you don't give me your hoodie." I said with a slight attitude.
"Ok ok. I'll give you my hoodie on one condition."
"And What's that?" I raised an eyebrow.
"You tutor me for the next chemistry test."
"Fine. Just give me the hoodie." He revealed a smile and began to take his hoodie off. As it was going up, his shirt went up, revealing his abs. Goooooood daaaaaaammmn I thought.
"Here," he said throwing his hoodie at me. I caught it and glared at his smirk. I put it on and it smelled like heaven.
"You look good hoodie girl" he said as the teacher began to teach.

"Were you wearing that hoodie earlier?" Asked John."Nope."I responded
"Then who's is it?" Asked Ashlyn.
"It's Josh's." I admitted.
"Josh who?" Asked Benny.
"I don't know his last name" I said slowly.
"It's Josh Grayson, the one that's always wearing hoodies." Said Gabbi.
"Ohhhh..." Said Ashlyn, Benny, and John in unison.
"I thought you and Chris were a thing." Said Ashlyn.
"We are it just that I forgot a jacket and it was cold last period." I defended.
"Shouldn't you have gotten a jacket from your boyfriend?" Asked John like I was stupid.
"He wasn't wearing a jacket." I responded like he was stupid.
"You know what I think?" Asked Benny. " I think Josh likes you." He answered his own question.
"I doubt it, I saw him talking to Victoria yesterday." Said Gabbi.
"So?" Said John.
"She had him against the lockers and was feeling all over him." Said Gabbi
"I think that's good for Josh. Everyone deserves love." I said
