I walked from my school to my house because it just 6 blocks away. Bringing my jansport back pack on my back and a pocket history book to read.

Actually, I really love books. Like so much. I always read books in my school but never in my house, like only once when I will get some exams. I always get some refreshing things when I got home. Such as watching some movies, ordering pizza and just gathering with my family, or inviting my friends to my house.

I put myself on the bed while inhaling some fresh air in my room, "oh my God I'm so tired." as I put all of my clothes off and went to the bathroom and took a bath. I came out with a short and white crop tee.

"Honey come on eat." Yeah, that's my mom shouted from the downstair.

"Coming!"

Then I took my cellphone with a notification from messages.

Hey, Amanda is it?

Whos this

It's Tom. Tom
Holland

And suddenly my eyes rounded like I just can't believe it. He's the most popular boy in the entire school and now he's texting me? I think it just a prank cause my friends just keep talking about how handsome he is but I have zero interest with him, like probably a no.

Because a girl like me, I just expected a nice guy like Zac Efron in High School Musical. Oh my God. And the way my friends talking about how hot Tom is, I never got it. I knew Tom is handsome but I never like him because he's really popular, and popular boys sometimes just like a player.

Plus, his ex girlfriends. Olson. She's so hot, like really hot. And Zendaya. She's so popular, like really popular. What am I? Just the one who called really nerd, I guess.

So I decided to not replying his chat because of those reasons.

It's a cold morning so I wore a black t-shirt, short, and stocking. Plus a long blazer and a boat.

I walked to the school while carrying my black jansport.

I put on my glasses as I opened my biologic book and listening to my teacher. Actually I really tired of biology and craving for this class to end.

As the bell rings I went out with one of my friends to went to the bathroom, as we chitchatting, there's this boy. Come from nowhere, "Amanda, hi."

"..hi," "..Tom?"

"Hey did I text to the wrong number?" He asked while smiling, and beside me, Natasha. Who's smiling because she is a big fan of this one.

I shake my head a little, "no. It's my number."

"I thought I sent it to a wrong one because you didn't reply again."

I'm silent. Like I had no idea what to say. "..I thought it wasn't you." ".. sorry." I said then giving my smile cause I really confused, duh.

"It's okay, and yeah do you want to eat something in cafeteria?"

"..uhm actually I just wanted to go to eat subway with Natasha."

He silent. Looking at me like he doesn't believe this is happening. Maybe there's no girl who'll refuse his asked.

"No, just eat with him. I really have some task to finished." She said with a smile on her face because she knew I just making a reason. "I'm puffed." She said while rolling her eyes and left. And yeah, Tom's face also like coming back to life.

I rounded my eyes at Natasha, like really?!

Then she gave me like a 'bye' gesture and left both of us. And it just, awkward. Cause I promised I never been with someone this strange before, "after you." He said and I walked.

"So what do you want to eat?"

"No idea. Sandwich, maybe." I said.

"So a sandwich girl, huh?"

I chuckled, "not really."

We arrived at the cafeteria as every eyes are on us. Tom take two sandwiches and two cups of orange juice and we sat on the two chaired table.

"Really, Thommas?" One of his friends just said that, yeah it's Harrison.

I just kept silent while sipping my orang juice.

".. so what are you gonna do after school?"

"I don't know. Streaming some movies, hanging out with some friends, no plan. Just refreshing."

"You don't do study?"

"What?"

"I thought you will be studying or reading some books or novels."

"Really, Tom?" I said while chuckling, "I'm not that over actually. I always do something refreshing except studying at home. Not because I joined and gathered a lot of competitions and events means I always study with no stop."

"So.. can I drive you home?"

I silent. "..no." "Seriously, no. I can just walk it just 6 blocks away."

"It's not just a block, then a yes."

"No, I swear I'm okay with walking."

"Please." He said with a puppy face.

I throwed my breath with a smile, "whatever." And rolled my eyes.

I went to the class and there she is, Natasha. Sitting with my other 3 girls and smiling at me as a 'we have something to talk to' face.

"What?" I said then laughing.

"No no no, what is just happening." Natasha said and smiling with 'that' smile at me.

"Really? Tom freakin' Holland?" Asked one of my girls, it's Megan.

And I walked to my chair and I sat. They all still look at me with an 'oh my god' look.

"Oh my God you guys are so intimidating." I said while chuckling.

"Since when, Mandie?" Then another one started asking me.

"What do you mean, Kenzie?"

"For godsake you know EXACTLY what we mean." Said Kyra.

"Okay. I gave up. It was, last night. He texted me, like he was just asking me is it my number and I said yeah whos this, and he said it's Tom. And I thought one of you guys were giving me a prank so I didn't reply and he just, I mean we met when I went to the bathroom with Nat then we went to the cafeteria to eat sandwich, that's all."

And they started to freak out and really excited. OH GOD.
