I flew down the hall as quick as my feet would possibly carry me. I reached my Chemistry class and burst through the door, just making it in time for second bell. "Maddi! Where have you been?" Emma says, looking up from her seat. The classroom is filled with light chatter, and the teacher still hasn't arrived. "Come take a sister seat!" James says, patting the chair next to him. I sit myself down beside James, and the empty seat next to me.

The teacher walks in quickly. "Sorry girls!" She squeals, pulling her glasses down onto the bridge of her nose from the top of her head. She flicks on the interactive whiteboard. "Are we all here?" She asks, peering round the class. She directs her attention to the empty seat, next to me. She looks down at her book. "Ummm.." she stutters, running her finger along the pages of her folder. "Maddison?" She says, finally looking up. "Yes miss?" I say.
"Is there supposed to be someone next to you?" She asks. I glance next to me.
"I dont thi-" I'm stopped as the door swings open violently, nearly swinging off its hinges. A familiar face appears in the door frame. I sigh heavily and look down. "Fuck fuck fuck" I whisper under my breath. Emma turns to me. "He is so fit Maddi i-" She pauses as she realised my nervous state. "Do you know him Madds" She says, in a whisper. I nod slowly then gesture for her to look away. I turn to James. "Tell Emma, I'll explain later!" I whisper shout. James' jaw was dropped, he obviously loved this boy too.

Ethan stood in the doorway, leant against the frame still. "Sorry miss" He said, clearly not sorry about it anyway. He diverts his attention over to the seat next to me. "Guess I'll sit there" He says. The teacher rolls her eyes, then looks down at her book. "Ethan Dolan." She sighs. "Yes. I suggest you take a seat." He walks towards me, smiling, clearly oblivious to the pairs of eyes on him, and he focused solely on me. I blush, but hide it. I know better than to let these types of boys get to me that quickly. He sits himself down beside me and I ignore his looks. "Well," the teacher begins. Getting up and handing us books. "I'm your chemistry teacher, Miss Goldstein" I tap my finger on the table, annoyed. I could smell Ethan from my seat. He smelt amazing. I shake it out my head, school is for me to learn, to get a job, and be successful. Ethan Dolan didn't look like the success seeking type. Or so I thought.

The second the bell rang for the end of the lesson, I threw my bag over my shoulder and hurried out the class, behind Emma and James. I threw myself down on the bench outside beside Emma and James on the chair opposite.
"Oh my god maddi! Fill me innnn" She says, eyes wide. I sigh and begin.
"He has a locker next to me. Him and his twin, Grayson." James sticks his head forwards, pausing from filing his nails. "TWIN?" He says eyes also widening. "Grayson is such a hot name..." He fades off, still listening intently. "Grayson is obviously his twin, but has really blonde hair, I think it's probably dyed." James seems lost in what I'm saying, falling in love with a mere description. I carry on. "I gave Ethan my insta. Grayson didn't talk so much, but I guess he was shy." I say. Suddenly I catch someone moving in our direction from the corner of my eye. Then another person. One with bright blonde hair. I held my breath. "Speaking of which, here they are." I say with a large sigh.
