"So you're the transfer student?" The white haired male question and I nod. "Yeah. So?" I asked.

He was silent for a few seconds before that smirk appeared on his lips before he opened his mouth, "You're cute."

"Excuse me?"

"I said," He paused just to pin me to the lockers, "You're cute."

Did I hear him correctly? "I'm...cute?" I asked and he sighs before backing up. "That is what I said, I'm not repeating it." Kody confessed. It took me a few more moments to process what he had said is actually what the male said, when I realized that he meant it my face heated up rather quickly and I looked down.

"I'm not cute." I mumbled and I hear a deep chuckle come from his lips, making me weak in the knees. 'What the hell is going on with me?' I asked myself mentally before Kody put a finger under my chin, making me look up at him. Kody had the smirk on his face that annoyed the shit out of me but it fit him so well- wait.

What am I thinking!?

Another chuckle from Kody snaps me out of my thoughts, "Thinking about me Love?" He asked in a smartass kind of tone. I push his hand away from my chin and glare at him harshly, "You wish, I'm straight so don't even try." I stated, turning away and walking away from him to my next class. 

I literally took five steps before being pulled back to Kody - by the male himself - and I sighed out of irritation, "They always say that but it never lasts." Is all Kody said before walking in the direction I was going in.

It's like he knew I was staring at his back for he paused and turned to look at me, meeting eye contact with me a few seconds later, "We have next period with each other so if you don't want to get in trouble I would recommend following me." He stated with a cocky grin on his face. I

 wanted to slap that grin off of his pretty face it irritated me so much, "Yeah fine whatever." I mumbled before walking behind him.

We were met by another male teacher going by the name of Mr. Hansen who gave us a small lecture on why students shouldn't be late before Kody lied, saying I had gotten lot on the way here so I followed him. "Oh...well then. Please get to your seat Kody, Mr. Nite, there is an open seat in front of Kody so sit there." Mr. Hanson ordered and I frowned before walking to my seat.

Out of all people it had to be in front of him.

Why couldn't it be anyone else who wouldn't stare at the back of my head for the first half of class?

"That's the lesson for today students." Mr. Hansen spoke and I watched everyone look at him in confusion as if it was not normal to finish the lesson so early. "Um, Mr. Hansen, why did the lesson end so early?" A guy with bleached hair - who sat in the second row - asked.

The teacher chuckled for a few seconds, seeming amused at the students question.

"I was about to explain what we were going to do Mr. Jones." Mr. Hanes replied before clearing his throat. "You all will be starting a group project," He paused when a few students started to talk excitedly to their friends next to them, "But you won't get to pick your partner. I will be picking those." Mr. Hansen added once it had quieted down a bit.

This news made mostly everyone in the class groan in disappointment, sigh, and slam their forehead against the desk. It even made Kody make a small sound of disappointment to my satisfaction.

Once the students were once again quiet, Mr. Hansen picked up a stack of papers before passing them out. "There will be a name below your own on this sheet of paper." He explained as he walked around, handing pieces of papers to the students. "That name is the name of your partner. Some of you have three people in total while the rest of you are in a group of two. If you have an issue with the person you have as a partner, please come and talk to me about it." Mr. Hansen added right as I got my paper.

With a small sigh I looked down at my people and my heart almost stopped when my eyes landed on the name below mine. It was in pen as if it was just added before the male started to hand them out, it read:

Kody Storm

*****

"I just want to strangle him to death he annoys the shit out of me." I ranted as Damien and I walked to the lunch room. "Wow...rough morning?" My new friend questioned and I sighed heavily. "God don't even get me started." I mumbled angrily. This only makes Damien smile, "You totally like him."

This statement made me almost choke and die on air as I felt my face get hot as we walked into the lunchroom, "N-no I don't." I claimed rather quickly, making Damien laugh. "Yeah okay, try saying that again without blushing like a japanese schoolgirl." He teased, grabbing a lunch tray. With a roll of my eyes I grab my own tray and picked out what I wanted for lunch - which wasn't much at all.

We picked a table and by now, my blush had calmed down a little bit so it wasn't so obvious anymore, "So, tell me all that happened this morning with Kody that made you hate him so much." Damien said after a few moments of silence.

"I was putting my things into my locker before shutting it and was about to walk to class when the asshole suddenly appeared in front of me, making me almost bump into me." I started and Damien nodded as he listened. "Then he asked if I was the transfer student and of course I replied with yes before he called me cute out of goddamn nowhere. Totally off topic from his question."

 When I finished speaking I looked at Damien since I was looking at my food only to see him wear a smug look on his face. "Damien I swear to god if you say anything about me liki-" I was rudely interrupted when someone cleared their throat rather loudly, gaining my attention. "Well excuse me but I am tryi-" I stopped speaking mid sentence when I saw who it was. "What do you want Kody?" I asked with a small sigh.

He sat down awfully close to me while Damien just watched with a shit eating grin on his face as he watched the two of us. "I was wondering if you still wanted to be partners for the history project Love." Kody explained himself, another one of the irritating but sexy smirks coming to his lips.

Okay, I know I said I hate the guy but I have to admit that he is a little good-looking compared to some of the other male's I know.

"You wouldn't give me much of a choice if I said no so I suppose we can be partners." I answered after a moment of thinking, knowing how these kind of guys work and think. "Great. Since tomorrow we have no school for some reason we can get started then. My shift at work ends at five in the evening." Kody said before handing me a piece of paper, walking away afterwards.

While unfolding the paper, I watch the tall male walk away before looking down at the paper seeing it had his phone number on it. "At least you didn't have to ask." Damien said, teasing me about Kody's phone number. I frown before flipping him off, "Love you too Al." He joked with a smile, giving me the nickname. I actually kind of liked it.

Damien goes back to eating as I put in Kody's phone number and adding his number to my contacts being labeled as: Partner.
