"Alright everyone- Partner up!" Oh fuck. I must have dozed off again because I have no clue what was happening other than my usual regret of taking chemistry as a senior. I've never been remotely good at math or science. Add them together and I'm fucked. Luckily so far the stuff we've been working on is understandable but I'd rather bite my tongue because it's only the third week of school.
As I spot around trying to find someone I know, this extremely gorgeous babe walks towards me. I would think I'd known all of the hottest guys in school, but no I've never seen him. This year could be interesting..
"Hey, I'm Chris, I just transferred h-"
"Yea- Goodbye Chris," wait. what the fuck.
WHAT THE FUCK??
"What the fuck was that?!?" I spit out. This had to be a joke, right?
"What? Mrs. Keller told us to partner up." he had the nerve to smirk at me as he took the bench next to me when the last of my energy is completely drained. It's last period, I really didn't want to annoy myself by arguing with him.
"Yea no shit, I did have a partner and it wasn't you." The period had just started and now I was stuck sitting here for 40 minutes with this kid I barely know.
"Oh that kid? You're kidding me right? He was looking at you like a sex toy.. All he wanted was to get in your pants while you were stuck doing all the work."
"Is that so bad?" sarcasm clear in my voice. The way he said it made it seem like I'm easy. I guess in a way I was considering I was thinking about sleeping with Chris. But still, I'd rather not have him say those things to me.
Breaking my thoughts, "Derek Andrews-" I knew who he was. But thank God for the introduction because I had no clue what his name was.
"I know who you are. We've had atleast one class together since freshman year," I giggled. I couldn't tell if I was giggling because I played it cool with the name or because he probably doesn't even know my name and this was the easiest way to get it.
"- and you're Jamie Miles," oh.. "I just thought it'd be appropriate to introduce ourselves since we've never had a proper conversation." His blue eyes man. Oh my God.. I've never noticed them before and now I wish I had talked to him back in ninth grade english just to stare at his eyes. Keep it cool Jamie.
"Well, considering you introduced me to myself, it wasn't that much of an introduction." I didn't say that to be funny, but I guess he found it amusing because he
laughed. You can pretty much tell he's never heard a good joke before. His laughing kind of rubbed off on me and before I knew it, I was smiling back at him. I was definetly physically attracted to him.
I was still confused as to why he pulled that shit before, but I let it go. I was somewhat relieved that he was my partner. He was right about me doing all the work with that Chris guy no matter how hot he was.
The rest of the period goes by slowly. I was at the point of holding my own eyelids open because I was bored out of my mind. Derek was silent most of the time, taking notes on the assignment we had. I kept catching him looking at me which I thought was strange. But then I realized I was pretty much doing the same thing, probably why he chuckled everytime we made eye contact.
Just five minutes before the bell rang, Derek finally breaks the silence that I've been trying to keep. "I can come over tonight, if you want, so we could get a head start on the assignment?"
Just before I was about to agree, I quickly rejected his offer. "No no, I'll go over to your place at around six." I wouldn't mind Derek coming over my place, it's just my dad was going to be there and let's just say he has a sick sense of humor. He's not a dick per say, he just jokes around.. alot. And not those funny "ha ha" jokes, those jokes where he's really insulting you and you're forced to laugh. I've also never brought a boy home.. when my dad was there.. so I sure as hell wasn't going to bring home a boy who looks like he goes to church everyday when I'm pretty sure my father's wardrobe consists of black slacks and white tank tops. Plus his long brown hair that blends with his beard doesn't give the impression of a "Yea come in my boy!" kind of guy.
Derek ends up giving me his address and I'm glad he doesn't question my quick response to him coming over. I didn't want to get personal with Derek. We were chemistry partners. That was it..
