Ethan's POV
I was frantically walking around the house looking for Veronica everywhere. Why do I care so much? I never gave a shit about her until like 3 months ago. I remember exactly when I first noticed her. It was the end of November at lunch when Mackenzie went up to Ronnie's table and started tormenting this girl named Mahi. I'm pretty sure Mahi could easily defend herself because she was strong mentally and physically but Veronica stood up for her anyway. She got up from her seat and flipped her hair back and pushed Mackenzie away from her table. At the time I laughed with Mackenzie at her but her face kept showing up in my thoughts and over the time I just couldn't stop thinking about her. I finally found her at the kitchen bar making conversation with this kid named Jonah. "Hey, Ethan right? Want another drink?" I shook my head. "No thanks man. Nessa how about I take you home okay?" She turned around with a grin on her face. "Sure thing Eteeweetee!" She stumbled out her seat. "Bye Joney Whoney!" She waved bye to Jonah and let me lead her out to my car. On the ride to her house, she fell asleep as she was talking about how much she missed her mom. I looked over at her with sympathy. Poor Veronica, she won't remember any of this when she wakes up tomorrow. I pulled into her driveway and carried her inside her house. I went upstairs and looked at a door that had a sign that said: "Ronnie's room No Brothers Allowed" I smiled and pushed the door open and layed Veronica down on her bed. "Night V." With that, I walked out.
Veronica's POV
I screamed and almost dropped my towel. "Ethan! What the hell are you doing in my room?" I shrieked. He smirked at the sight of me in a towel. "Hey, there sweetheart I decided I wanted to hear a thank you in person and I just couldn't wait until Monday." I rolled my eyes. " Alright thank you now leave my damn house." He held up his hands in fake surrender. "Woah babe no need to be feisty. I just wanted to know if you could actually help me with my pre-calculus homework since I heard around school you're just so good at it." I sighed. "Fine, what time do you want me to be there?"12:30 would be great sweetheart. See you then." With that, he walked to my window and hopped out.
What the hell did I get myself into?
