Weakness

5. "He's okay"

Just wanted to make this clear-- it's currently March 31st in this story. It's not the beginning of the school year, they just came back from spring break. Justin is new to the school but the others were already adjusted to the school schedule since they were only gone for a week for spring break. Oh and they're seniors in high school.

"But you think he's hot right?" Callie asks me.

She has been talking about Justin ever since I stepped foot inside my first class of the day which we both had together. She has been nonstop saying how hot he is and how she thinks that something might happen between them because of the way that he kept flirting with her on the party Friday night. Is it bad to feel a bit weird about this whole situation? I mean, I kind of did feel a connection between Justin and I, and now I'm finding out that he was flirting with her. I shouldn't be surprised since he flirts with ever girl that he see's but I do feel something strange rush through me. Jealously? It can't be.

"He's okay," I say while bitting my tongue. He's more than okay. He's hot. He leaves me speechless, and as cheesy as it may sound, every time that I looked at him on Friday night, it just made me forget everything that I was about to say. It was like I was in a trance but worse. I don't know the exact words that I could use to describe how it felt like but I do know that it was something.

"He's okay? Is that all you think of him?" Callie's eyes are now wide open and all because of my reaction. I laugh at her amusement and answer her back with, "Okay, fine. He's hot." I inwardly regret saying that because I now know that she wont let this pass. I'm usually not the type of person to tell my friends whenever I find someone hot and I guess that's because I know that it won't do anything, I mean, It wont do anything if I just find them hot so I find it completely pointless.

"He's more than hot! I mean, I did say that I kind of liked him but there's other guys for me. You should go for it!" She says in pure excitement and adds, "besides, you've never really admitted to finding someone hot before so you should definitely go for it." she winks right after.

"I do find him hot but I just don't like him like..." I begin to say but soon get cut off someone kissing my cheek. I bring my eyebrows together in confusion as to who it might be and turn around right after. To my dismay, I see Justin with the widest smirk on his face and I immediately know that he's up to something.

"Are you in this class now?" Callie asks him but to my surprise, she acts casual about it and doesn't even seem stunned by the fact that he's even here. Just seconds ago she was talking about how hot he is...

"Yup. Thanks for doing what I asked for," he replies and looks over to me right after.

"Yeah, it was kind of hard to get information but I did it." Callie confirms to Justin and I just stay on my seat in pure confusion.

He continues to look at me when he speaks again, "I heard you call me hot, babe." he starts to smirk again. Will there ever be a time that he doesn't smirk?

I decide not argue about him calling me babe because I know for a fact that it will only make him call me babe even more and that's something that I don't need.

"We weren't talking about you..." I try to deny although there's no use because I'm making it pretty obvious that we were talking about him just by the way that I blushed right after I spoke or also by the way that I looked away from his stare right after he spoke.

"That's bullshit and you know it," he casually says while taking a seat next to me.

"You'll want me in no time, Amelia." I look over to where he's sitting and I see him lick his lips. I gulp just by seeing how attractive he looks while doing that. He notices me looking at him so before he's able to say something arrogant, I look away and pretend as if I didn't even just think those thoughts to myself.

"Okay class, let's get started with today's lesson..." The teacher starts talking but I soon realize myself getting zoned out by own thoughts...
