My Perfect Problem

Chapter 2

I wish I'm all she thinks and talks about, but that'll never happen.

"Thanks, Theo," I said as I stepped out of his car. He sneered at me.

"When did you stop calling me by my real name?" I smiled at him. I knew exactly what he was talking about.

"Theo's your real name, right?"

"Aiden Theodore Blake. You could be normal and call me Aiden or at least Theodore but no, you had to be you and call me Theo," he ranted as he got out of his red Honda Vezel that he got for Christmas. So unfair.

I took his keys and locked his car. Since he was so careless, I decided to keep his keys. We are going home together.

"Come on, Theo, I'm definitely not normal. You of all people should know that. Anyway, my name is Ashlynn Thea Brown but you call me Thea instead of Ashlynn or Ash," I pointed out. He looked at me like I was crazy. We walked through the gates of hell.

Our sch-hell was huge. There was at least 5 buildings with at most 4 levels each. Starwood high school was actually a beautiful and awesome place. From the quality, to teachers, to food, to everything, really. Everything but education.

"Hey!" Theo snapped his fingers in my face. My eyes flitted to his direction. I blinked a few times, mentally saying that he got my attention.

"As I was saying, your middle name is Thea, so that's what I call you. But mine is Theodore, and yet you call me Theo!". He raised his hands, sighing in exasperation. I laughed at him. As if it was a big difference.

I stepped in front of his face.

"You're special, Theo," I whispered and skipped away, giggling.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"Hey, Gracie," I greeted my all time friend, sitting next to her. We were in first period, biology. Both my best friends, Gracie and Theo, are in this class, but we sit at opposite ends of the back.

"Sup, kiddo," she greeted back. I rolled my eyes. She was kinda a year older than me. My birthday was in December while hers was in January.

"Hey, I heard that there was a new kid. Aid's guiding him. Yikes!" She whisper-shouted. Unfortunately, she does not know how to whisper, so she just shouted. And I guess Theo heard. How does nobody hear our conversations?

Theo winked at her. He was a flirt after all. I noticed an unfamiliar guy next to him, which was weird considering I memorised every face in school. I raised my eyebrow at him.

He too winked at me. I raised both my eyebrows and he gave me a cheeky smile. I tapped Gracie's shoulder, causing her to look up at me from her book.

"Hey, Gracie. There's the new guy. Sitting next to Theo,"

"Aiden," she corrected.

"Not you too" I whined.

"He's quite cute," she pointed out, ignoring my previous comment. I looked at him, confirming her opinion. More like hot. His skin tone looked like milk chocolate, not being racist or anything. His hair was quite short, almost shaven off. He had brown-blackish eyes that stood out against his bright blue polo. He wore black jeans with grey converse. Not bad. He gave me a football vibe, but I don't wanna be stereotypical.

When I looked back to is face, he was full-on smirking. Shit. Busted.

To cover it up, I gave him a flirtatious smile. He raised his eyebrows, amused. I winked at him and faced the front as the teacher came in, hoping Gracie saw nothing.

I took a glance at her and winced. Guess luck wasn't on my side. She looked like she saw a rainbow and death kissing. Just picture it.

She smiled. I frowned. Her smile widened. My eyes widened. She opened her mouth. I covered my ears. Theo did the same. And then...

"EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" she broke. Everybody covered their ears. Good idea.

"Ms Stone, would yo-"Mr Neille, our teacher, tried to say.

"Hush, sir!" Gracie yelled. She grabbed my arm and dragged me out. I didn't really mind. I was acing this class, anyways.

"Sorry, sir! She's in her zone!" I apologised.

She slapped my arm. "I'm not that bad! So quit complaining!" she said, or screeched. Then I was out of class, nursing my arm.

This is gonna be a long day.

EDITED!!

Ok, before you guys kill me, lemme just say, Happy Birthday To Me. Okay, I know I've been gone for an unreasonably long time, but I recently got a new laptop so hopefully these will be more frequent. I cheated a bit and used Word for this but hey, it still counts. I am actually proud to be able to do this in such a short time. Anyway, I know nobody really reads this so..I hope you guys enjoy! Adios!
