"Hey Celeste, did you get yesterday's notes? I wasn't here yesterday."
"Zach stop yelling across the classroom." Our teacher exclaimed.
"I was just trying to get the notes, coach." I wasn't paying attention to him. Last week I asked for the workbook pages and he nearly took my head of with his book. Inside was a paper that was a message between him and his friend. It was about me. Apparently he thinks I'm pretty and would like to get to know me. I'm too intimidated to actually talk to him so I just ignore him while Mr. Brittle handles him.
"Celeste do you have the notes?" He was telling again. I glanced over to him and he took a breath then looked away. I went back to doing my work. I was in the back corner and Zach was in the other corner in the back, me by the window and him on the door wall.
I finished and was able to play on my phone. I pulled up Tumblr and began scrolling, smiling and laughing at my meme feed.
The class grew quiet and I looked around. Everyone was doing their work for once. Zach saw me looking around and got attention.
'What' I mouthed. He picked up some papers and tapped on them, once again asking if I had the notes.
With a sigh, I pulled my notes or of my binder and dragged myself over to his side of the room. Without saying anything we exchanged blushed smiles and I set my notes on his desk while his friend laid down a note onto his desk.

When Zach finished, he called me back over to get my papers but I refused to move so he had to come over to my side of the room. He happily got up and have me my notes back with again, a blushed smile.
He sat down and my friend, Kaylee and I started talking about her catastrophe of a day yesterday.
"Kaylee, don't look but I think Zach is checking you out." I whispered to her. He being unafraid turned right around. He quickly tried to look busy on his phone.
"Celeste, I know I look good. I don't need him to validate that." I let out a laugh and we continued talking about people and classes.
Though out the class I would occasionally look over to Zach and catch him staring at Kaylee. Eventually I began taking tally.
"5- I mean 6." I told her, keeping her informed at to how many times he looked. She began smiling and cracking jokes about him. I laughed then we continued our notes.
As the bell rang I looked at her to give her the final tally. "12."
"12 times! Celeste, he must have been looking at you because he doesn't look at me that way."
"No way, I'm not his type. You on the other hand." Zach was a snobby rich kid without the snob. I was the Tumblr emo. Obviously he didn't see me but Kaylee and him flow in the same worlds. They both like to crack jokes about other people and they have two classes together, like the universe knew they belong together.
I said my goodbyes to Kaylee and went to my next class and we had a sub. I'm a senior so I have service learning where I help the teacher grade papers and all that teacher stuff. Today I had nothing to do so I sat at the podium and watch them do their work. Our sub was pretty chill so a few people walked in and said hey to their friends. That's when Zach walked in. I looked to the door and there he was, coming in to say hi to Mark and Chandler.
He then spotted me and quickly turned to talk to his friends. I went back to playing on my phone.
"Hey Celeste," Chandler called. I looked up as a signal for him to continue. "He likes you." He pointed at Zach. I pulled my head back as a sign of disgust and made a face.
Nope nope nope. "Can I use the restroom?" I asked the teacher. I was let go because what else was I going to do. I took my phone and dilly dallied in the hallway for a while.
A/N: I'm not getting anywhere with this. Sorry.
