Mitch's POV

"You can go sit with Jerome." The teacher said pointing at a guy in the back. 'Jerome' looked up confused when he saw me.

I walked over to him.. It was sorta awkward since the whole class was looking at me. I sat in the chair beside him placing my bag down and took out my binder.

I could just feel him staring at me. I changed positions, feeling uncomfortable, making him look away.

He ask me for my schedule so I gave it too him.

"What's your name?" He ask as he handed my schedule back.

"Mitchell, but I perfer Mitch." I answered.

I got a quick glance at him. He was just staring at me. Long brown hair, very brown eyes and a nose that was a little big. I could see his cheeks were a little red. ((I know Jerome has short hair, but if you look on the cover his hair is long.))

"Ah, alright. Well i'm sure you know my name now, but it's Jerome."

"Haha, yeah." I chuckle.

~Time skip to ending of 7th period~

>Still Mitch's POV<

English class seemed okay. Teacher was nice, although the students were annoying. Luckily I had Jerome and here, he's really the only person i've talked to all day. We have some things in common.

School ends at 2:15. I looked at the clock, it was 2:13. Thank you.

"Jerome?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you have a car?"
"Yeah, why? Need a ride home?"
"Please. My mom dropped me off since it was my first day here. I don't want to be in a bus full of strangers to be honest."
"Yeah, sure buddy. Just follow me on the way out."
"Hokeyp. Thanks."

He gave me a confused look.

"Somethin' wrong?" I question.
"What is that?"
"What is what?" I ask again look down at myself. Is there something on me?

"No, i've never heard of 'hokeyp." He let out a small laugh at the end.

"Oh. It's just another way of saying of saying 'okay'." I answer also giving out a small chuckle.

"Ah, gotcha."

I give him a toothless smile, just naturally. He did the same. We stared into each other eyes. We were siting beside each other in a table, and my head was turned.. My neck started to hurt.

But I had to admit, this felt good. I felt like something clicked in my head.
I don't know why, but I very slowly leaned towards him, glancing at his lips for a moment and back into his eyes.

But then the bell rang.

Shit, what was I doing?

All the kids getting up made me come back into reality.

"Mitch? Let's go buddy." I hear Jerome say behind me. I turned around. When did he get up?

"Oh yeah- uh.. Sorry got lost there for a moment." I said getting up and swinging my backpack over my shoulder.

"It's fine, lets just get out of this hell hole." Jerome says quietly so the teacher didn't over hear. I don't think he would of mind, but you never know.

~Time skip to Jerome's car~

Jerome's POV

We made it to my car. Nothing exciting. Just Black Infiniti M35. It's actually pretty nice though. I saw Mitch go over to the passenger seat, and grabbed onto the door handle and waiting for me to unlock the car.

I pressed the small black button on the door handle with my thumb, which made 3 beeps and I opened the door. Mitch did the same and got into the car and put his bag into the back. I did the same, and pressed the start button.

The car started, making a cool intro pop up on the screen. "This is a nice car." Mitch said. "Yeah.. I like it alot."

The whole car ride wasn't as akward as I thought. I mean, I just met him today. In honesty, I had a tad crush on him. I know I just met him today, but when we talked a few times today.. Something flicked in my head.

There was something I was confused about; was he going to kiss me? I saw him leaning in. I didn't do anything. I wasn't sure what to do really. I don't think he knows what he was doing either.

I did learn a few things about him. That he moved here from Barbados which is interesting. But he also told me that he was born in Canada. I don't know if that makes him Canadian, or Canadian and Bajan. I guess he's a Bajan Canadian. (See what I did there? ahAh)

"Onto the left here, and there should be a enterance that leads into a neighborhood." Mitch said interupted my thoughts. "Hokeyp." I saw imitating what he said eariler. "Catching on my words, eh?" He joked. I just looked over at him and gave him a smile and set my eyes back onto the road.

I eventually made into a neighborhood and Mitch led me to his house. "It's that house after this one." He told me pointing at a small two-story house.

I parked beside the curb. I went to reach for his bookbag just to help but he had the same thing in mind. The touch of his arm on mine made me tingle. "Oh uh sorry." I said pulling away as he grabbed his bag.

He snickered. "It's fine. Thanks Biggums, for the ride." He said getting out. Before I could even ask, he stoppped.

"Before you ask, 'Biggums' is just a nickname." He chuckled.

"Ah okay. Bye, Mitch."

"Bye. We should hang out sometime. Maybe this weekend? It'd be nice to not be bored."
"Mitch if you just want my number than ask me." I joke around.
"Just give me your phone." He said with a chuckle.

I unlocked my phone and went to the contacts and clicked "Add" and handed the phone to Mitch.

He quickly typed his number in. "Here you go." Mitch said giving it back. "I'll hit you up later." I said putting my phone away. "Okay." He said giving me a wink before closing the door.

What.
