Deeper With You // Peter K. & Hardin S.

Chapter 8

I head out to my English class but I might have taken more time that what I expected, when I arrived, there was only one seat vague, and I wanted to bite my tongue as I walk in its direction, seating in the middle of Peter and Hardin. Lucky me.

I look in Peter's direction remembering Caroline's words "I'm sure he likes you back" making my heart sink because I am not that sure about it. Then I look in Hardin's direction, whom was already looking at me. Tell me about awkward situations!
Although even though he was caught staring at me he didn't look away. He is creepy, I swear to God.
I look now at the teacher even though I can't focus in what she is saying because I'm so awkward right now I can't even breath right.
But I snapped back into reality when the teacher said that he was choosing the pairs for the work we were supposed to do.
"Peter with Alex, Maggie with Landon, Chloe with Hardin....." I stopped hearing after that, what do you mean. Me and Hardin. No. No. No. I don't want to.

"Looks like destiny is against you, love" I hear the British accent say as I head out to the parking lot.
"Why is that?"
"You're so against going out with me but now you have to!"
"We are not going out, boy! We are going to work together, just that."
"Same thing. Give me you're number." he demanded making me confused to why he wanted my number "So we can talk about the work" he completed
"Oh, right!" I said giving him my number

"I hate this Noah!" I told my brother over the phone
"It's just a work chill, sis!"
"I Know I just don't trust him! And he invited me to go out with him!"
"I hope you said no."
"Yeah, I did say no, but now I really have to be with him."
"Just do the work at school or at our house, and nothing will happen. I understand how you feel, I haven't heard the best things about him."
"But I don't understand why he is so interested in me."
"Look with him you have to be always careful, I don't think he likes you, not because you ain't amazing, but because he is not that kind of guy! Not everyone is a good person like you. And even if you decide to go out with him, be always conscious about him. "
" Do you know something that I don't? "
" Princess, don't worry! It's nothing important " he said but I could tell he was lying. Maybe it was my intuition maybe I am just being paranoid but he does now something he doesn't wanna tell me.
" I have to go, love you Noah. "
" Love you, little monkey. Be careful. "

As I am about to sleep my phone lit up showing that I had received a new message.
Unknown :Good night, Smith.
Me: Who's this?
Unknown : Already forgot me, love?
Me: Hardin? What do you want?
Hardin: So rude. Not even a good night. Or I'm happy you texted me.
Me: Hardin, it's late. What do you want?
Hardin: So you want to start our work tomorrow?
Me: Alright.
Hardin: At mine or yours?
Me : Can it be at mine?
Hardin: It's your call, love.
Me: Stop calling me love.
Hardin : Okay, love.
Me: Hardin!
Hardin: Love, I call you whatever I want.
Me: whatever. Tomorrow at 2pm at this address xxxx
Hardin: Have a good night, love. Dream about me if you want.
