I stared at Vicky, she has different emotions all over her face. I didn't know why Jared was so rude, but despite his attention toward facts and books, he knew how to make a girl blush, smile and feel, important.

He knew how to flirt.

"Why are you young ladies just standing in the hall? You two are late! Didn't you hear the late bell ring?" That voice belonged to Mrs. Lewdrew.

"Sorry, I was walking to my next period, but-"

"I am on the time of month. It caught me by surprise and I wasn't prepared, and unlike Zoe here, she had what I needed. I was embarrassed to ask her for one with people passing through, so I begged her to wait until everything was clear." Vicky cut me off. "I'm sorry Mrs. Lewdrew ,but I could never be prepared."

"Oh, in that case you two are excused, but don't let it happen again. And Vicky it is always important to be prepared and not be caught by surprise," Mrs. Lewdrew warned. "Well since this was important, I'll write you two a tardy note so you won't be punished. I know how it feels."

"Thank you so much." I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding in.

Mrs. Lewdrew nodded, "Well, just wait here please, I'll make a quick trip to get the note."

We agreed, Mrs. Lewdrew started walking toward her classroom, and I took the privacy as a chance, "What was that?"

"What?" Vicky asked.

"The whole time of month thing! You said it so convincing," I threw my hands in the air, "I was impressed, but why? We have a test in Biology."

"I know."

"And how come Mrs. Lewdrew came out when we were both quiet? You are brilliant!" I smiled.

"I know."

She was still, quiet and understanding. Where is my Vicky? Just to make sure. "I heard the exchange student's name is Taylor Flores." I paused.

"I know."

"He told me, that you were attractive." I continued.

I was expecting a squeal of excitement that would make me deaf, "I see."

Where did Vicky go? "What is wrong with you?!"

Silence.

"VICKY! Answer me! What is happening with your head!" I yelled.

"I don't know, That guy swooped in and made me feel, important for a second ,but was a trick. He made me realize I don't really notice what's around me." She said calmly.

I sighed, "Jared Tobins is an arrogant, self-centered, smarty."

"Genius." She said.

I slapped her, "What?"

That slapped worked all right, "Huh? Ow, what did you do that for?! I should sue you!"

"Glad to have you back." I smiled.

She rubbed her cheek, "What's that guy's name anyway?"

I sighed, "Jared Tobins."

"That guy who won the Story Contest? Who won the National Spelling Bee? The guy who won at a Math Competition for college students?" She asked, her eyes widened.

"Yep, yup, and yeah." I said.

She started laughing, "Who knew he would be able to flirt and look that hot!"
