Quinn Carter is a sophomore at Northwright high , she's shy and can be a little awkward.
Then there's Lee Smith , her heart stopping ,jaw dropping ,mouth watering Korean love interest who she has been infatuated with since the day she met him . Pro...
Are you kidding me !? Lee hasn't looked at me once since this morning ,what the hell?
Hey, hey? That's all he's said since morning ,he doesn't seem mad but he doesn't seem to care,he doesn't seem to even know I exist ! I mean he's talked to Alex and Sophie , what's going on .
"Hey Mike do you know what's wrong with Lee?" I ask as I sit next to him in gym class. "No why what do you mean?"
"He's ignoring me I mean have I done something to him ?"
"Not that I know of ."
"Then why is he being so weird ?"
Mike's talking but I've tuned him out , then it hit me . Trust me a hot guy like that won't give in easily ,but that doesn't mean he doesn't like you . He's going to ignore you and barely talk to you ,you have right where you want him. If he does that ,make him jealous . Find another hot guy to flirt with and make him jealous .
Brooke's voice echoes in my head.
Make him jealous , that's it !
I make a mental note to thank her later . Looking around the room I can't seem to spot any worthy opponent ,until I do . Connor Matthews, the football captain , he's a hottie but what really matters is he's naive enough for me to use . He doesn't have a partner to demonstrate to the class with .
Before I can rethink this whole situation ,my mouth takes charge . "Hey Connor !" I yell and wave at him.
"Wait what are you -" I don't give Mike a chance to finish his sentence ,I'm to busy tying my hair up . I join him as he begins guiding the class , the gym teacher isn't here which isn't a surprise to anyone . The guy cheated on his wife with God knows who and she left him so now he's just a sad former shell of himself .
After some stretches he began, "Okay so the first exercise were going to do is the crunch and climb." He gets on his back and I put my hands on his knees , while he crunches I climb. I hear murmurs here and there , jarred whistles . I'm trying to focus on the workout but I can't help it so I turn my head and right on time I spot Lee .His eyes are dark no longer the bright brown colour, I'm pretty sure I can see the jealousy.
I friggin love you Brooke !

"Hey what's going on between you and Connor?" Sophie asks .
"Nothing."
"Then why are you all over him all of a sudden ?" Alex joins .
" Are you trying to make him jealous ?" Sophie asks referring to Lee.
"Of course I am ,he hasn't said a word to me since this morning . It's like he's ignoring me ."
" Brooke gave you the idea didn't she?" Alex asks sticking her chewed gum under the desk.
"Yes also stop sticking your gum under the desk it's serious gross."
"What , it's for later ."
"So how do you know if it's even working ?" Sophie interrupts .
" Well - " I get interrupted.
" Hey is this seat taken."
"No ."
"Cool."
Lee grabs the seat and turns it around so now we're facing eachother . Sophie gives me a knowing look ,Alex raises her eyebrows in amusement . I bite my lip to fight back a smile Lee sees it and his reaction is priceless , that dark colour in his eyes resurfaces, glad to see I have an effect on him .

I enjoyed this free period ,a lot.
" I can't believe it actually worked ." Alex exclaims as we close our lockers and head to our extra curriculars.
"Of course it did, with a body like that how could he resist?" Sophie exaggerates. I just chuckle.
"Where is Lee anyway ,were supposed to be choreographing like yesterday ."
"I'm right here ." He answers walking up to us . My heart flutters , every time I see his pretty face especially when he's smiling like this . My heart can't !
"Well come on pretty boy were supposed to be in the auditorium ." Alex signals him to follow her.
"Just a second."
"So ...I'm struggling with my English and I was hoping since your the highest performer in our class , you could tutor me ."
"Uh, yeah sure . When do you want to start?"
"How about tomorrow after school . my place ?"
"Mmh ,yeah.. sounds great ."
I'm freaking out .
"Ok cool ." Oh my god ! That smile .
"Come on." Alex pulls him towards the auditorium , I haven't realised I'm still standing there like an idiot until Mike wheels by . " People can see you drooling you know."
"W...oh my ..." I walk off before I finish my sentence .My cheeks are heating up .
