She Will Be Loved

Chapter 41: Math

I'm annoyed with my first period class because of two things. First of because it's Math and Second because I had to seat far from Liam, I hate sitting arrangements. Who does that? Well, Mr. Gomez.

I'm scribbling something on my notes, because no matter how much I try to listen and understand what Mr. Gomez is teaching it's just not entering my brain. I was so into writing Liam's name in varieties of my penmanship, when Mr. Gomez suddenly want to get my attention.

"Ellie." He called out my name.

I mentally groan but answered him. "Yes." Please don't ask me a question, I think to myself.

"Can you do the first one?" He gestured to the board with a smile. I hate that smile.

"I think I'll have to pass." I said pursing my lips together.

"This is just an easy one." He says handing me the marker. "You can do it."

"But I think we should give chance to other." I said scanning the classroom and saw Hanna giggling at something Dean said on her ear. "I think Hanna knows."

"What?" She snap her head at me, giving me a dangerous glare.

Mr. Gomez averted his gaze to Hanna. "Can you?" He ask him.

"Sure." She said with a tight lip before standing.

"Okay." Mr. Gomez enthusiastically said. Hanna kick my leg as she made her way to the board. When she was finished, she was still glaring at me and if it could kill; I would already be dead.

"Sorry." I apologized but she just roll her eyes at me.

"I hope and hope everyone will make an extra effort to learn this topic that we've been going on for days now, because the day after tomorrow I'm going to give a quiz." Mr. Gomez announce. His announcement made everyone, well except Liam erupted into groans. "No excuses and no more slacking off." Just after he said that the bell rings indicating it's the end of the class. "Class dismissed."

"I hate you but I hate Mr. Gomez more now." Hanna burying her head behind his arms, after giving me another glare.

"Mr. Gomez the nicest teacher we actually have, it's just that math isn't the best there is." Dean said taking Hanna's bag that was on the floor. "Come on, we still have class to attend to." He helps his girlfriend get up.

"I hate math so much, that I'd prefer eating bitter melon than do math and you know how much I don't like bitter melon." I said frowning at the thought.

"It's not that bad." The three of us snap our head towards Liam who said it.

"Nice for you to say genius." Hanna rolling her eyes at Liam.

"Baby, It's just not the right thing to say." I told him as I give his shoulder a tap.

After class Liam ask me to meet him by his locker. Many girls are giving me annoyed expression but I just mock them all with a smile.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." He said as he finally arrive.  "Let's go." He grab my wrist and lead me somewhere before I could even utter a word.

We enter the Library and went deep into the shelves. The section was purely lit that it was only dimmed. I thought to myself, why we where there and what was he thinking when he drag me into this section.

My wise widen from another thought. This always happens in movies, the boy and the girl will go to a quiet place like the library and, and they'll... shit! I couldn't even finish my thoughts as I felt my body turned warmer.

"Stand here." Liam placed me just at the end of the corner.

"This is it." I said excited. I turn to the side to check my breath if It was pleasant and good thing that I didn't ate shawarma for lunch. I sighed deeply before facing him again. "I'm ready." I announce and shut my eyes while I pucker my face.

"What are you doing?" He ask me. I slowly open my eyes and see him smirking as he furrowed his brows looking at me.

"Well, I-I." I bite my lower lips in embarrassment.

"Are thinking of something else?" He ask me with his smirk growing.

"No." I shook my head eagerly. He made his way slowly towards me with a smirk still plastered on his face. "I-I wasn't thinking that you'd kiss me here." I blurted out over my nervousness, just as I realize what I said. I instantly slap my lips for being to honest when not supposed too. My stupidity made Liam burst out laughing.

"You're so adorable, Ellie." He pinches my cheeks. "We aren't here to do what you were thinking." He move to take some books from the shelf.

"It's just the section is at the far corner and was a bit dark." I pointed out to the area.

"This is the math section, the books are placed here because not much students come and read math books." He gestured to the huge Mathematics word that was written in bold letters just above his head. "And the lights were okay last week, probably it's just the bulb getting weak."

"Ohhh." I slowly nodded as I try to compose myself from being embarrassing.

"But if you want to do something else..." he pulled me towards him that are faces are inches away. "we can do that too."

What he said somehow caught me off guard but excited at the same time. I was about to lean in to finally kiss him but he held a book between us, so instead of his lips, I kissed a book.

"I would reward you a kiss if you get an at least B+ on the math quiz." He took the book away and hand it to me.

"What about a C?" I ask him.

"No, it has to be at least a B+." He smirks and gave me another book.

"But it's math." I complained. He peck on my lips and I quickly turn my frown upside down. "Okay, if you want I can totally dig an A+." I told him. "Let's go and study our brains out." I drag him out of the section and to the study tables.

Liam gave me a ride home. His been my personal chauffer since day one of being together, he said that he'll always give me a ride if possible. I didn't even object to his proposal, I'll even be willing to move in with him if he'd ask.

"No, not yet." I mumble to myself as I thought of leaving the house, Jacob and Dad. I saw Dad wasn't still home but Jacob somehow was.

I didn't bother to know but just immediately swing the door open. Just as I did, I heard a loud thud from the sofa. I went to check and saw Jacob and Riley struggling to stand up from the floor.

"Oh my god! I am not sitting on that sofa ever again." I blurted as the idea of them having to do it there.

"We weren't having sex, we were just making out." Jacob exclaims as he defended himself.

"Shut up!" Riley slaps Jacob's arms because of what he said.

"Alright. I'll give you that." I said with a teasing expression. "What's for dinner?" I ask walking to the kitchen but before I did I gave them a knowing look. "And don't dare answer me with Riley or else slit my throat."

"Haha, real funny." Jacob said sarcastically. I only wink at Riley which was turning bright red.
