(I strongly suggest listening to the song on the sidebar. It's literally the reason for this entire chapter)

Summer's POV

"Summer do your work."

"I am Sawyer, but I'm taking a break." We've had this argument about three times already. I could just go back to my room and do my homework with as many breaks as I want, but after yesterday I just don't want to leave Sawyer's side. Everything has been going so fast lately but now I feel like everything is perfect. I feel inexplicably comfortable spending the day in Sawyer's room (and clothes) doing homework.

"You took a break five minutes ago." 

"No that was thirty minutes ago." I thought he was smart. He can't even tell time.

"And please enlighten me as to why you need a break every half hour." 

"I can't concentrate for more than a half hour at a time. If I don't take a break I'll end up bouncing around or doodling on my paper." He gives me a look that's a cross between shock, and awe. I have no idea why he's in awe of my short attention span, but I guess it doesn't matter.

"Well stop walking around the room. You're making me nervous." With that he goes back to his work. 

I can't believe he expects me to just sit here quietly until my breaks over. The whole point of my break is to get out some of my extra energy so that I can concentrate on my work. 

I wish I could channel all this energy into my work, but I can't. Honestly I don't want to waste my positive energy doing algebra. I can't seem to fathom how Sawyer sits there looking happy while studying Molecular Biology, and yet he does. He looks rather good doing it to. 

"You're staring". He points out. 

"Of coarse I am you won't let me do anything, the least you could do is provide me with a good view". I'm not asking for very much. Really all he has to do is sit there and look pretty.

"Why don't you go in the hall for a while?"

"Sawyer are you kicking me out?" I ask trying to sound appalled, but it comes out sounding like im drowning on air. Which isn't possible, but whatever. 

"I actually think I am, but you better come back as soon as your break is over." I can hear the air quotes around the word break and it only makes me laugh. 

"Rude." I say jokingly before deciding it might be a good idea to go in the hall and let him study before he kills me. Ok maybe he won't kill me but he might throw his pencil at me or something evil like that. 

I leave the room without a word and sit on the floor by the door outside. I don't have anwhere else to go, and even if I did I don't want to wander to far away from this room.

I pull out my phone and Google 'songs about rude people'. The first result is a song by a band named Magic that I've never heard of. I click on the animated lyric video.

This may be the cutest song I've ever heard in my life. It's basically about a boy askin a girl's father for her hand in marriage, but her father is mean and keeps saying no, and the boy won't give up and he's going to marry her anyway. This is definitely new favorite song potential. 

Once the song ends I'm giddy with excitement, but also calm enough to go back to homework. 

I back into Sawyer's room lightly humming my new favorite song.

"Shut up Summer." He says playfully while he's closing his books. I don't know why he's telling me to shut up when he's clearly done with his work.
