Zeke P.O.V

"Dude!" I tackled Noel to the ground. Grabbing the collar of his shirt, looking at him angrily.

"Zeke?! What are you doing?!" Noel pushed me off of him.

"Nicole's mine! Do you understand?!" I screamed at him.

"Why are you telling me this?" He looked at me with a baffled look.

"She knows you and not me! I swear Noel if she falls for you, I will hurt you." I warned him.

"Man, everyone in this school knows me. Chill out. She's not even my type. I'm not into nerds. I don't want my reputation to get ruined by a girl. You should not have your reputation ruined either. If people knew about your crush thing... it won't turn out good. Besides I'm more popular than you so maybe that's why she knows me." He said then walked away.

"I don't even care about popularity anymore." I murmured to myself.

Why do social status and popularity important to some people? How did I even get popular? Does it base on your money? Appearance? Are you supposed to be the handsome jock? Are you supposed to be the queen bee? Do you have to be in the cheerleading squad? Do you have to play sports and be good at it?

I guess so. Popularity is nice to be honest. I got a lot of attention. Not Nicole's attention though. It's just that my family doesn't really care about me that much. Having other people's attention feels great. They made me feel wanted and deserving attention.

"Oops! Sorry" someone bumped into me. I turned around and saw Nicole. Her books are on the floor. I apologized then helped picked up her books.

"Thanks." She smiled at me then frowned slightly. "Sorry again."

"No, it's okay. It's actually my fault. I've been spacing out in the middle of the hallway." I chuckled.

She giggled. "Whatcha thinkin' about?" She asked me. "Some people." I shrugged.

"What are you doing here all alone?" She asked me. "I was actually with Noel earlier then he left." I answered.

"Nice. Where did he go?" She asked about him. What's all the questions? Is she making a conversation with me or she just wants to talk about Noel.

"I don't know. Why? Why do you want to know?" I smirked but inside I'm nervous. Maybe she really likes Noel.

"Just curious." She smiled showing her pearly white teeth. Wow. Noel can make her smile like that. "Anyway.. have you seen Robert?" She asked me.

"Why are you so curious about people's location?" I joked.

"So I can find my way to them." She answered with a straight face.

Her answer caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting that. "I haven't seen him. Sorry." I put my hands in pocket.

"Aww.. we should be going now to my place to study. Where could he be?" She pouted. I sure want to kiss that pout away.

"Probably looking for you too." I smiled. She looked around for him then sighed. "You like studying huh?" I opened up a topic so we could still talk longer.

"I love studying! I love learning stuff! But I gotta go. I have to look for Robert. Bye!" She ran off.

And I thought it could have been longer. Studying is much more important than me for her. Or maybe Robert is more important than me. Why am I being possessive with her? She's not even mine! Robert is lucky that Nicole's his best friend. "His." Not mine but his.

So it's really true that she's a nerd. She loves studying. She may be a nerd but she's a total hottie! I still can't believe that Noel said that she only looks good when she dressed up and dolled up for the dance competition. She didn't wear any make up after the competition, yeah but she's still beautiful. Noel is blind to not see that.

"Hey there sexy.." a girl approached me from behind then played with my hair.
