Chapter 9 | Project I Like You

"Psst." Poke. "Psst." Another poke came from behind me. All I had to do was breathe in and relax while I ignored the idiot in class who was trying to gain my attention

Poke. "Stupid," he drawled out his voice to me from behind me as he leaned forward to make remarks in my right ear. His cool minty breath fanned my right ear. He was close enough that I was able to smell the minty flavored bubble gum he chewed on.

"Stupid," he whispered, when I once chose to ignore him.

I had reached my limits with him and decided to move my sit further away from him, but to no luck he moved his desk closer to me. It seemed as if I would not be able to escape him.

I turned to my right, where Rachel sat. She studied me with a predator's unwavering attention.

"Alex." He grabbed my pony tail and removed my hair from the messy ponytail, making my brown shoulder length hair fall down to my shoulders. "I like your hair down." He ran his fingers through my hair trying to get rid of the knots.

I screwed my eyes shut. "Stop that." I said.

He chuckled. "How about no?" He continued running his hand through my hair. It felt quite nice. It was pleasant feeling to have him that close. What was happening? I was not allowed to enjoy anything that involved Lorenzo.

"Stop or I am going to yell." I knew deep inside I did not want him to stop. I liked. I liked how close he was to me at this moment.

"Want to hear a joke?" Lorenzo stopped running his hand through my frizzy hair. "What?" I asked breathless.

"Look at me then I will tell you."

I looked over my shoulders. Lorenzo and I's face were inches apart. I focused on an empty space in the air between us. I was not able to meet his eyes. I felt some sort of way, it was hard to explain but I felt something. "What?"I decided to say.

Our eyes met, but he broke it off, shaking his head. "Nothing, I wanted to see your face."

I arched an eye brow, wondering what was going on with Lorenzo. If I was not mistaken this was the longest we had ever spoken to one another without one of us yelling at the other.

He shot me a small smile before I could comprehend what was happening, I felt my lips stretch into a smile.

Four pairs of eyes blinked in unison. Eyes locked on like magnets. I could not help but notice that he looked more handsome when he smiled. I liked the way his eyes sparkled like diamonds it was captivating. I was in a trance that I was unable to look anywhere but him.

"You have ugly eyes," he said without remorse as he smirked waiting for my reaction. "And by the way you need to wash your hair it is too fizzy and oily." He added.

The color escaped my face, narrowing my eyes to slits. "You are a jerk!" I exclaimed out loud.

He chuckled lowly, finding humor at my outburst. I glared at him, annoyed at myself at how I fell for it. How ignorant I was to actually think he was a pretty decent human and not an asshole.

I had caught the attention of Mr. Smith with my outburst. "Ms. Smith is everything alright?" I bowed my head in embarrassment when everyone turned to stare at me waiting for my answer to the question.

I lifted my gaze up to Mr. Smith who stood in front of the class, taking off his glasses to inspect the lenses. "Everything is alright, sir, you may proceed with the work."

"Proceed? Are you telling the teacher to continue with his work? He asked you a question." Lorenzo chuckled lowly in amazement.

I grabbed my blue pen from my table and then proceeded to carry on with my work. I ignored every little remark Lorenzo had to say about my appearance.
