"So, Austen how was your morning?" I spoke up, totally ignoring Summers, trying to break the silence that had taken over our table when he sat down.

"Um well my morn- " She didn't get a chance to finish what she was saying because that little bastard interrupted her.

"You know what, you guys are so boring. You don't have anything interesting to say, you know that?" Who the heck does he think he is! First he comes and sits here uninvited and then he insults us, how great.

"Why are you still here then? Leave, if you think we're so boring to sit with. Who invited you in the first place." I almost yelled but kept a semi normal tone to keep unwanted attention away.

"Good question " He whispered in my ear before standing up and leaving me there wondering why he had walked over to our table.

I was now in my bedroom, on my bed, staring at the ceiling listening to Ed Sheeran wondering about my life decisions when my phone went off bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Hello? Hello?" I repeated myself but nothing came from the other side. just when I was about to hang up someone spoke up.

"How are you?" Someone asked from the other side of the line. I just sat there in shock for what seemed like hours without saying anything back. His voice sounded familiar but I couldn't put a face to the voice."Oh. come on. You forgot me already?" I heard him say with a bit of amusement in his voice. Hearing his cocky tone sparked a light bulb in my head and I immediately recognized  who it was but I was not planning on telling him that.

"Ummm, I really don't know who you are." I replied trying to sound as serious as possible not wanting to give myself away.

"Sure you don't."

"You know what? I think I'm just going to hang up now ."

"Wait.. I ..I'm Jonathan you know the guy you invited to sit at your table"

"Seriously .! You sat there yourself I did not invite you to sit with me!"

"Sure you did. By the way you owe me lunch."

"Wait...What! I do NOT owe you lunch. I don't even know why I'm arguing with you right now. I don't even know how you got my number." So I did the only thing I thought was right, I hung up.

 After hanging up, I sat in my bed wondering what the reason for him calling was and almost regretted not talking to him but something else told me I did the right thing. The next thing I did, I would have never thought of myself doing ever in my life but I picked up my phone and clicked on his number saving it to my contact list. The reason to why I did this I have no idea but maybe it was because I secretly like that he had finally noticed me.

The reason I do not exactly like him is not only because he said something about my shirt but because he has a, lets just say, not so good reputation at school. He is known for having all the girls, partying like crazy and getting into trouble. I am pretty sure any and every girl he hangs around with has had something to do with him, if you know what I mean.

I mean, I don't blame them. He does have the most captivating brown eyes and smile that give off warmth and a sense of security. Ok.Ok, Autumn your getting distracted. You shouldn't be saying that. I guess I'm just afraid of falling for him if he starts hanging around me like all the other girls and just end up hurt. Truth is I have kind of liked him since last year and I still do and I hate myself for it.
