Only You

Chapter 9: Doin' What She Likes

Since I woke up I can't stop thinking about Liam and Jason. Did Jason tell his best friend about his idea? Maybe he's like Liam and hides it from the rest of the world, or maybe not, I hope not. I grab some books from my locker and close it. I go to my classroom and before I get in, I hear someone shouting my name. I turn around and press my lips together.

It's Liam.

"Allie, hey!" Liam shouts while approaching.

"Hey?" I confusedly say. He places his right hand on my waist and kisses me on the cheek.

I was not expecting that. He usually waves or smiles at me and that's all.

That really was unexpected, I thought he didn't want to be seen with me. Perhaps he's just being nice, thing he lacks of sometimes.

"Shall we?" He says and leads me to the classroom. He's acting extremely nice, that's weird. I won't complain about his attitude though, it's pretty cool and I kind of like it.

I take a seat on the center of the room, as usual, and put my backpack on the floor. I see Scarlett entering and I wave at her.

"Hi, Allie." Scarlett says and sits next to me. She moves her hand back and forth indicating me to come closer to her, "Stella told me everything and I'm a bit confused." She says giggling.

"So am I." I say and smile. "And Hems is acting nice today, something must be going on." I say and make a short laugh. 'Hems' is the nickname we gave to Liam because of 'Liam HEMSworth' and that way no one will know of who we're talking about except us, well at least that's what we think. I love putting nicknames to people, I feel like it's all a big secret I get to be part of and I've been doing it since I was a freshman, so I've got plenty of practice.

"Maybe he just regrets what he did." Scarlett tells me and takes a quick look at Liam.

"That's a quick change of mind, don't you think?" I say.

"Let's just see what happens." Scarlett suggests and I nod. She's right. Time will tell the truth.

The class was so boring and the worst thing is that we're having three partial exams next week, although I don't know why they call them partial, it's long enough to cover all of this semester's topics. It's awful.

As the last class was going on Liam whispered little jokes to my ear about what the teacher was saying and I had to control myself and hold my laugh because they were hilarious. But I tried to keep it down, I'm still mad at him.

He's been having a very playful attitude today and I honestly like it. I hope he's not planning anything.

When I get out of the room Caleb and Stella are waiting for Scarlett and me to get out. I say hi to both of them and then we go to get some lunch. We sit down and Stella starts to make lots of questions.

"So? Something new today? Or yesterday? Any news on you know who? Hems?" My best friend asks and bites her granola bar.

"Woah, so many questions over here." Caleb says with a funny tone in his voice.

"Actually, yes." I say and take a sip of my water, "Hems has been acting strangely nice today and that's pretty weird, you know."

"That's good." Stella says and looks at everyone on the table. "What about Jason?" We should give him a nickname too, what's the point of Liam's secret name if we say Jason's out loud?

"I haven't talked to him." I answer and see Zach sitting next to Scarlett.

"What's going on?" Zach asks with a confused look when he looks at our faces.
