"Isn't he perfect?" Charlotte sighed, hand underneath her chin. Her eyes grew unfocused as she stared at Henry, who was laughing (quite distractingly to Charlotte's standards) with his friends.
"Yes, yes, he's the perfect one for you," said Isabelle, rolling her eyes with an annoyed- but slightly amused- look on her face. Hugo snickered next to them, trying to mask his chuckles as his friend swooned over his brother.
Charlotte sighed again.
"Oh, and honey," Isabelle commented, smirking humorously while Hugo's face turned red from trying hold in his laughs. "You might want to close your mouth, you're gonna catch flies. Oh, and look below you."
Charlotte looked down.
"You drooled all over your math homework."

Charlotte has a crush on Henry. There's no doubt in that. His gorgeous face, dark black hair, fit body, tennis and basketball player, a 4.0 student, and not to mention his high level of confidence and kindness.
Charlotte, Isabelle, and Hugo are on a mission. A mission to get Henry and Charlotte together. Mission Probably Impossible.
This was going to be harder than they thought.
"Well then. That's the first time a girl has ever rejected my close proximity," he said, eyes ablaze with a playful fire.
"You better get used to it," I retorted as I spun on my heel and headed for the school doors that led to the outside.
"I've never met anyone like you before," he called after me, this time, not coming after me.
"I know, Romeo. I'm a special little snowflake," I called back, not turning around.
"You got the 'little' part right there, Princess!" he shouted after me.
I threw up my middle finger back to him and heard him laugh as I exited out the doors rather dramatically.

I'm tired of all those high school stories about a straight-A girl student with the perfect life who falls for the stereotypical Mr. Bad Boy who wears leather black jackets and only has a soft spot for her. That's not how the real world works, sweetheart. I may look like a damsel, but I'm never in distress.
...
Not me making fun of the "she's not like every other girl" trope <3 o.o :))
I like to think I'm funny. After all:
