part one

Avery's POV

That guy named Nate is unbelieveable. I thought he was the quite one, but I realize that he's mouthy and fussy. Now I'm in the cafetaria with him and I just want to eat my lunch but girls keep coming to our seats. He keeps calling girls that passed with his random nickname and winking. Ting, the girls instantly join our seat.

Clara, who's sitting beside me even cant stop her laugh. She thinks its funny to see me being disturbed by her charming cousin. I ate my sandwich and gave her my deadly glare. It works. She puts her hand in the air and start to stop laughing.

"Okay, Avery. You got me," Clara said in defeatness.

"Hey two princess, mind if we leave you guys here?" ask Nate with his grossy smirk. I spontaneously let out my big smile and said,

"We'd love to!" Then I whisper, "And don't ever come back, Mr. Popular-in-His-First-Day."

Nate chuckled. He gets up and leave with the girls following him.

"I heard that, Ms. Anderson!" He yelled. How in the world did he can hear my low whisper?

"Clara, tell me all about your relationship with him. Why do you guys became so close?!" I asked.

"Relax, he's my cousin. Oh girl, I know you likes Nate," She replies, obviously mocking me.

"Come on, Clare. That player? Big no. He made a record for being popular in his first day in high school. He's a total jerk."

He ruined my day. And what a perfect life do I have, he had the exact same subjects as I took except Math. Ugh. I should be grateful. I should, because at least I have a little heaven in Math class.

"Hey Miss? Spacing out somewhere?" I heard Clara's voice that made me startled.

"I am not."

"Bet you were busy thinking about Nate."

"I wasn't!"

"Yes you did."

I want to fight back more but the sound of the school's bell cut me off. Clara have drama class for the next subject. And me, I have physics. Oh you can't imagine how much I hate physics. All I do in that class was sitting, daydreaming, and rarely even talk. However the teacher is cute, but I'm not that sassy to care about that. Plus today, I'm going to meet that jerk in this class.

After searching for a spot to sit, I finally decided to sit on the back. My favorite spot was taken by a gloomy girl with glasses. I swear that spot is the best. You won't be seen by the teacher if you sleep and you can watch the view of the outside school. Few minutes later I heard the door was opened and a loud thud.

Nate. He's late and entering the class disgracefully.

"May I help you?" asked the cute teacher, if you wonder what's his name I forgot.

"Yes I'm a new student. Nathaniel Alter."

"Great, you can sit with miss Anderson back there." He ordered. I snapped, only to see a smirk building on Nate's face.

Can this day be any better?

I put my head on the table, earning a chuckle from the devil.

"Well isn't it a coincidence? I always sat near you." He shook his head. "I was right to be late."

I turned to him. "Are you purposing to be late only to sit beside me?"

He nodded. I let out a sigh and turning my attention back to that cute teacher.

"The teacher, what's his name?" Nate suddenly asked.

"I don't know. Just call him the cute teacher." My eyes widen on that previous statement. "What the hell. I don't talk like that."

"You called him cute?" He snort. "Bet all the girls would choose me than him."

I snorted back. "Trust me, never in a million years I would say you're cute even if you are the last man standing."

"Aw. You hurt the soft spot," He muttered as he touched his heart.

I rolled my eyes. The class will end soon, so I better stop talking to him. The bell is ringing after, and I already stand up from my chair. Until a hand grabbed my arms.

"Ave."

I saw Nate behind me. "Don't give me nicknames."

"Fine, grumpy. I won't." He answered.

"What?" I asked, straight to the point.

"Do you need a ride?" He asked back. I coughed.

"No, and how dare you to say that. We just met a couple hours ago!"

"So what?" He frowned.

"You could be a killer."

"There's always that possibility!"

"Because it's true."

"You're saying that I'm a killer?"

I sighed. "Look, Nate. This day have been hell to be with you at most class." Sighing, I muttered. "Oh God is this my punishment." I continued. "But I really need to get home right now."

I let go my arms and heading to the hall without waiting his respond. When I reached my car, I could feel my phone buzzed on my pocket. A text.

Clara: Please tell me you haven't got home yet. I need a ride. asap

Avery: Where are you? I'm at the parking lot.

I put my phone back to my pocket. I sat on the driver's seat. While waiting for Clara to come, I turned the radio on. Ed Sheeran's All of the Stars blast through the car with a soft tone. I rest my head on my seat, finding a comfortable spot.

I thought back about what happened today. I had a rough day with Nate. First the English class with Mr. George. Because I'm late and my excuses was lame, I got punished. And Nate being an idiot he was, he volunteered to accompany me to washed the girl's toilet. Unluckily Mr. George agreed after arguing with him for like centuries. Nate had a great time. Also the girls who passed on the toilet had a great time too. While me, on the other hand, breathlessly pushing the brush on the floor.

Next social literature class. I couldn't bring myself to focus on the teacher's explanation because Nate won't stop playing with whatever insight. Start from building a war by papers, wrestling the pen and pencil, even knocking the table with melodies. Impatiently I told him to stop by whispering but, eventually we got kicked out of the class for shouting each other's.

The math class. Where I finally could enjoy myself with unbelieveably fun teacher, miss Amanda. She is young and funny. She's on her twenties. Thats why I always enjoy this class even though I'm not that math freak.

I would tell you the physics class, but I think you already knew the crisis I had earlier. Besides, I can see Clara waving her arms from distance. So I turned the engine on, and after Clara sit on the passenger's seat, I moved my car to exit the school.
