The class mumbled a good morning only to make our teacher chuckle. As our teacher was about to explain today's plan the door opened. In comes Roman looking like he just woke up. He had on a hoodie, basketball shorts, with long socks and slides.
"Mr. Reigns why are we late?"
"Sorry sir I got stopped by security" he mumbled
Our teacher sighed "Alright take a seat. Also please take your sunglasses off and put your hood down"
Our teacher continued to talk and I continued to look at Roman. He ended up leaving his hood up and putting his head down.
Poor guy.
"Alright class please get with your partners and make sure your project is good to go before turning it in"
"Good luck pumpkin" Paige patted my shoulder before walking away
I took out my binder and took out our completed project. The resume looked great and met all the requirements. It was easier than I thought.
"Roman can you please go with your partner"
Out of habit I look up at the teacher. I didn't even notice that Roman wasn't with me. I turn my head to where Roman was sitting. He dragged himself out of his seat and towards me.
"Take the glasses off please" He took them off and tossed them on his desk.
"And the hood" reluctantly he pulled his hood down revealing his messy bun
He made his way towards me. I looked back at our paper pretending to read but really trying not to get caught staring. He slumped into the chair that was next to mine and rubbed his eyes.
"So the only thing we need to do is attach everything in order and turn it in" I told him
I looked at him and saw he had his head down looking bored and tired. I sighed quietly before I reached into my backpack and grabbed out a black pen. I sat back up and looked to see he took our paper.
"You did this?" He asked looking up at me
"Yeah uh is it bad?" I asked nervously
"No it looks good. I don't know how to this kind of stuff"
"A resume? Really? No one taught you?"
"Yeah, my English teacher is more focused on Shakespeare than resumes and personal statements." He shrugged
"Five more minutes to get everything together or it'll be considered late" Mr.Danielson announced
"You should join the college prep class. You'll be interviewed first but I'm sure they'll accept you." I say
"I've always wanted to join. I'll look into it." He said turning to me
Only now I noticed the bruise on his face. It was small but it made me feel bad about what happened yesterday.
I fought with his girlfriend dude and I would never get involved in a fight!
She deserved though.
"What wrong ?" He asked his face a little worried
"I'm sorry about yesterday" I looked down
"It's not your fault babygirl" he said
Hearing him call me that again made me think back to all the times we've kissed. Then it made me think back to the party and how I woke up at his house. Oh god.
"I'm sorry for fighting with Summer. I-I promise I didn't mean to hurt her" I stammered.
He chuckled and shook his head
"What? It's not funny I fought your girlfriend. I-I didn't mean to I'm sorry" I apologized scared of what he was going to say
"Baby she ain't my girlfriend anymore. She never was." he paused "Come on before this'll be considered late" he said
I handed him my rubric. I froze when our finger tips touched but he didn't seem fazed.
"I'll turn it in for you" he walked up to the desk and handed in our project.
Do I like him or do I not? Would I even have a chance with him? What does he see me as? I'm still confused on why he kissed me.
LUNCH
"Hey Randy!" I waved
He looked up from his paper "Afternoon Brie" he smiled as I sat across from him
"So my test is on Wednesday. I tried practicing over the weekend. I stayed up late studying."
"That's good. Here let's start out with practice problems."

"I have to say I'm very impressed with you Mr.Orton" I said
"All thanks to you Miss Bella" he played along "So, you want a ride after school?" He asked
"Don't you have football?"
"Don't you have wrestling?" He asked making me confused
"OH YEAH" I say making him laugh "Sorry, it's Monday" I laugh
Then the bell rang indicating lunch was over. We stood up and he hugged me.
"I'll see you later" he kissed my head before walking away
He just kissed me. No he didn't stop over reacting. But like he did!
