The teacher who stands before Millie, snaps her back into reality with a math question. She shakes her head and straightens up her body, '..um.' She looks around at all the eyes darting back. Her cheeks shade into a light pink as she spots her freckled boy staring back her with a smile. His curls mesmerise her back into her day dream.
'Right, if you do not want to pay attention, you can see me after class!' Millie's teacher adds, while writing her name onto the white board. Millie rolls her eyes with dullness and looks down her empty book.
Half an hour passes, and the lunch break calls. Everyone scurries for the door leaving Millie at her desk. 'Millie, Millie, Millie. Third time this week, I've had to keep you back. What's goin' on?' The teacher tilts his head as a sympathetic look appears over his face.
'I don't know,' she knew exactly what was going on. 'I don't like math?' She lied.
'You? Not liking algebra? Please, I can see straight through your lies...'
'People change, sir.' She nods.
'Last warning or it's off to the principles office...now go.' He uses his thumb to point to the door behind him.
Millie grabs her bag and dashes for her locker. 3-1-5 she recites in her head as she cracks the code of her locker. A hand is gently placed on her shoulder, and causes a flinch in Millie. 'Sorry didn't mean to scare you.' The familiar voice freezes Millie.
She turns around, eyes widened, 'hi?' the love of her life, who she has yet to explore, standing before her? She couldn't believe her eyes. 'Sorry, do I know you.' Millie awkwardly leans against her locker with her hand on her hip, as she acts clueless.
The boy chuckles, 'um..I'm Finn, we have math, English and drama together...' he says confused on how she may not know him.
'Oh! Yeah.. Finn...' There is an awkward pause between the two's words. 'Um, what do you want?' She cringes.
'Oh, right. Um I've noticed you kinda struggling a bit in math and, well, I actually tutor math. So if you wanted to come by and maybe I could help-'
'YES!..' Millie clears the excitement out of her throat. 'I mean, sure..that would be great.'
Finn bubbles with happiness, but in no way shows it. 'Cool, well here's my address and number. Give me a call and we can sort out a day.'
Millie takes the small note out of Finns hand. 'Thanks!' She calls as he walks away. Her eyes follow him until he disappears around a corner, and while holding the note to her chest she jumps up and down in the lonely hallway.

Should I continue this story in another chapter?
I also want to confirm that I'm not really known to ship fillie, I have just been reading fan fictions on instagram and was inspired to use these two people as characters
Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
