Perrie
I sit in class staring at my notebook trying to force myself to stop smiling like an idiot, but I can't, the thought of Jade won't leave my head. Her tan skin and plump lips, her caramel eyes and ombré hair. Everything about her was perfection and I nearly kissed her. Not to mention she called me sexy, and I'm extremely turned on right now.

"Miss Edwards, would you care to stop smiling like an idiot down at your book because I don't think ancient history is making you this happy,"
I look up seeing Mr. Jefferson's eyes staring straight at me and also many of the other students are looking my way, I mutter a sorry and try to focus, failing though. I'm pulled out of my thoughts as the bell begins Mr. Jefferson dismisses the class and I shuffle out with the crowd before he can ask me to stay back. I walk quickly to my locker, throwing my books in and getting out my wallet, I walk over to the cafeteria and decide to get a slice of pizza and an apple juice. I look around and don't know where to go from here, Miss Thirlwall, Jade, said I could go to her class room, but should I go, I don't want any one suspecting anything.

"Perrie, over here!" I look around and find one of the guys from music class calling me, I think his name was Luke. I smile seeing the familiar face and walk over sitting with him. He introduces me to his friends, Calum, Ashton, Niall and a few others I forgot the names of. They talked all lunch, I tried to join in but there seemed to be a lot of inside jokes so I just stayed quiet and listened whilst eating. I was trying to enjoy myself but I couldn't get the ombré haired girl out of my head. I wish I was with her instead of these guys, like yeah they are cool and funny but she's all that and more. Once again the bell interrupted my thoughts of her and everyone stood up for the next period.

I make my way back to my locker surprising myself that I didn't get lost in the way, I look at my schedule seeing I have maths again, great, who puts double maths in a day. I have never been good at maths, trust me, one time someone asked me what the square root of 144 was and I said 3,236. Oh how I was wrong, my friends still don't let me live that down or any of my other embarrassing moments. I'm off in my own world when suddenly I'm falling down onto the floor. I look up to see who I walked into and see those caramel brown eyes staring into my own blue ones. She brings her hand down to help me up which I gladly take, butterflies erupting into every inch of my body when we touch. I feel my cheeks instantly heating up as she just watches me.
"Why didn't you come to my room at lunch babe?" She asks and It sounds like she was hurt by the fact that I didn't come but the way she said babe also sounded so hot.

"I wanted to but Luke from music class called me to come sit with him and I couldn't think of an excuse to say no. Trust me I would have rather been with you." I say truthfully, her face relaxes and I can tell she is satisfied with my answer. I tell her I will meet her after school in her room and she nods as we both walk off in opposite directions.
I walk into my math class finding my seat in the middle row, just as I sit down the teacher walks in, I thank the gods that I wasn't late again if I was I think he would have actually killed me on the spot or given me like 10 years detention. I try my best to focus, surprising myself by actually doing all the work assigned and even starting the homework he gave us. The bell goes again as he is dismissing us, I pack my stuff up hurriedly racing out of the class.
I realize now that there is only one more hour until the bell will go signaling the end of the day.  That means only an hour until I see Jade again. I walk to my next class slowly, it was HPE and because my enrollment here was so sudden they didn't actually have the sports uniforms available, so I can't even do it anyway. I get to the gym and the teacher, Mr. Holmes said he already knew about the uniform situation and said if I had any assignments I could go to the library or appropriate room to work on them. I told him I had a music assignment and would be going there, he nodded and left me to go talk to the class.

I hastily walk away from the gym, I get stuff for my music assignment in case she has a class and walk up to the music room. I see that she does have a class, the disappointment I felt was crazy. I knock on the door and watch her open it, her face instantly looking brighter when she sees it's me.
"Miss Edwards, may I help you?"  Oh god, it's hot when she calls me miss Edwards, and that smirk and her glasses. I need her so badly right now. I come back to it and tell her that I needed to work on my assignment and she tells me I can work in the back of the class.

Jade:
There's a knock on my door, I apologize to the class as I walk over to get it. I see the blond hair through the gaps in the blinds, I instantly knew it was Perrie. I open the door and smile when I see her, she looks so innocent and perfect
"Miss Edwards, may I help you?" I see watcher her look flustered, how is she this beautiful.
"Sorry to interrupt your class, I couldn't do sport today and the teacher said I was allowed to come up here and see if I could work on my assignment, so would you mind if I worked on my assignment in here?" She looks so scared, does she think I'm going to say no, I will never be able to say no to her. I tell her to work at the back of the classroom and her face lights up as she smiles.

I watch her walk to the back of the class, watching her hips swaying. She has to be doing that on purpose. When she sits down she smiles at me knowing I would be watching her. I stop looking at her and go back to addressing my class, telling them they needed to be in pairs for singing activity. I look back at her but she's writing something, maybe she's writing lyrics for the song in her assignment. I walk behind her looking at her book, she had a page full of lyrics I assume, they were beautiful, I read them fully;

I just wanna scream out 'til my voice breaks
Even if the tears fall and my heart hates me
I just wanna know how I can save me
Even if these three words choke and take me
Baby, I love you

I feel your touch when I'm alone at night
But it's just me who's holding tight
And this life don't feel like you
There's nothing left but these I love you's

And I just wanna scream out 'til my voice breaks
Even if the tears fall and my heart hates me
I just wanna know how I can save me
Even if these three words choke and take me
Baby, I love you

I love you
Baby, I love you
I love you
Baby, I love you

Once I had finished reading them I noticed she was staring at me. I look up to down to meet her blue eyes.
"Do you like them?" How could I not they were so beautiful, I knew she was a good singer but oh my god her writing skills were just as good. I needed to hear her singing them. I realised I had only been thinking these thoughts and repeated them to her, I loved watching the blush form on her face at my words she told me she wanted to show me other ones that she had been writing, she said she didn't know which one to do her assignment on as she loved them all because they were all about someone she loved. This hurt me slightly as I thought she must have had a girlfriend or she was crushing on another girl, but I played it off telling her that whoever they were about must be special and that I was sure that all the songs were amazing. The smile on her face increased as I said this, but I was quickly pulled out of my thoughts when I heard someone calling my name, I turn around to see one of the year eleven kids calling me over to help them.

The bell was about to go only three minutes of the class left. I got everyone to sit back down as I said they would be performing the pieces they worked on next Lesson, some groaned others were happy. I looked at Perrie noticing she was still writing in her book, she looked so at peace and happy. Just after the bell had rung I dismissed the class but Perrie didn't move. She waited for the class to have left and gone away from the building before she even closed her notebook. I watched her carefully as she stood up, she walked over and locked the door giving a final check that no one was coming and with that, she walked over to me tugging me out of my seat whilst simultaneously setting herself on my desk. She looked into my eyes as I looked into hers.
