ELIJAH!? You've got to be kidding me. I was in shock. Thoughts kept rushing in my head. I'm probably overthinking this. I don't think he even knows i exist!

Once the bell rang, i collected my books and stacked them up and put them in my bag. When i looked up, i seen no other than Elijah Best. He was staring right down at me. He started to bend down towards me.

"Meet me at the main entrance of the school at 2:15 pm. I'll drive u to my house so we can start the project" Elijah said. He looked down at the table then stared at me directly in my eyes waiting for my approval.

Words couldn't come out of my mouth so i just nodded my head yes. At this gesture he slightly nodded his head too and turned around to catch up with his friends.

The rest of the periods went by fast. I was so nervous about going to Elijahs house. I looked at the time, it was 2:10 pm. I started walking down the hallway to where Elijah told me to meet him. When i got there, i seen Elijah with his friend group. I walked up to them and they all stared at me. I felt so awkward, i took a deep breath and looked down trying to hide my embarrassment.

"Hey i got to go" Elijah says to his friends under his breath. He gets up and walks me to his car. The car looked like it got in a million accidents. The inside didn't look any better. He started driving before i could even put my seatbelt on. Elijah glances at me for a second then looks back at the rode. "Do you talk?" he says breaking the silence. What a jerk! His personality does not match his looks.

"Y-Yes. I do, just not to people like you!" I manage to say. I'm quite impressed with myself to say something like that to somebody, I'm especially surprised i said it to someone like him. He pulls up in his drive way and narrows his eyebrows at me. I just remembered who he was, Elijah Best. The guy who beats you up if you even nudge him! I then cover my face up with my arms in fear that he was going to hurt me.

"What are you doing?" he looks at me confused.

"I-i thought you were going to hit me" i lower my arms and my face turns red.

"I would never hit a girl.." he looks at me up and down "especially not someone like you.". What did he mean by that? Did he think i was pretty or just a weak pathetic loser!? "C'mon" he says deeply as he gets out of the car. I follow him inside his house. "My house is a mess, just ignore it" he says as he puts the keys in the lock of his house. I could hear yelling of children from outside of the house. He finally got the door open. He wasn't lying when he said the house was a mess. There was children's toys thrown on the floor, wrappers, clothes, dishes, anything you can imagine, it was there. Elijah was going somewhere, i just followed since i had no idea where to go. Out of nowhere, two boys, around ages 3 and 5, run in front of us, they both only had underwear on and nothing else.

"Oooh Elijah has a girlfriend" the older one teased. The younger one laughed.

"Shut up, Luke!" Elijah said in an annoyed tone to him. Elijah walked past the two little boys so i followed. He walked me to a room, it must be his. He shut the door behind him and threw his backpack on the ground. "You can put your stuff anywhere" he said to me. I decided to place my stuff neatly next to his. I looked around his room, it was a mess too. I start to pull some books out of my backpack. I sit in a chair near a desk. Elijah pulls up a chair next to me and starts looking at my notes. I stare at his face looking at every detail. His looks really are perfect, aren't they..? He then looks at me in a confused manner. "Why are you staring at me?" He said. I quickly blushed and thought of an excuse.

"N-NO! I wasn't staring at you! I was looking behin-" he then cuts me off.

"Y/n, you aren't my type, if that's what you're thinking." He shakes his head and laughs it off.

"You think you're hot stuff don't you!" I shouted

"Duh. Why else would all the girls be chasing after me?" He looks at me with a grin.

"Well I'm not. And i never will be." I said sternly looking into his eyes.
