Waking up the next day I felt like gluing myself to the bed and never getting up. There was no way I could go to school after last night's conversation. It wasn't clear to me why Aleli would do such a thing. She was suppose to be my so called best friend and she embarrassed me so horribly. "It's time to get up sweaty", my dad said poking his head into my room. He wore a big smile, and I tried to return it but I failed. "What's wrong?" He asked as his smile faded away slowly, he looked concerned. "Girl stuff", I responded knowing he wouldn't ask. I just didn't want to talk about it, I was going to pretend as if it had never happened. On my way to school I was thinking of different scenarios as to how I would handle it. Nothing came to mind so I figured I'd deal with it while it happened. Going to my locker the butterflies in my stomach were out of control. They were so wild that my stomach started to hurt, and I felt a bit noxious. "Hello Margret", I heard Michael say but I didn't look up I just unloaded my books into the locker. "Hey" I quickly responded trying to talk to him as little as possible. "You seem upset, do you have something or someone on your mind" when he said this I could tell that he was smiling by the way he said it. "Nope" I responded quickly grabbing my books, I started to walk between him and the locker but he quickly put his hand out blocking me. Rolling my eyes I tried to go the other direction but he grabbed me by my elbow bringing back in front of him. "Why are you acting so nervous? Is it because of your little crush?" Looking up at him finally I could see that he was pleased by this entire situation. I gave him the worst look I possibly could, even though on the inside my heart fluttered from his touch. "You don't have to worry, I won't tell Michael" a confused look came over my face hearing this, "you are Michael" I said irritated but still he kept egging. "Oh yea that's right I am Michael. So just out of curiosity do you think about me and scribble my last name as yours and all that jazz." He had the most obnoxious look, and a flame started to flicker inside of me. I didn't respond to what he stayed, I just nearly tackled him to get away from him. Going to class a tear rolled down my cheek, not because I was sad that he knew but because I was so irritated. Aleli stared at me the entire time as I came in and sat down. I didn't even acknowledge her which was pretty herd seeing as she sits in front of me. Jermaine smiled at me and asked, "high Yahara you going to the party tonight?" the answer to that was pretty clear right about now. "No, are you going?" I asked trying to get the attention off of me. "Yea I'm going with Arryn" he said smiling at me as if he couldn't wait. "I didn't know you had a thing for Arryn" I said with a smile stretching across my face which was the first real one. But it faded away when Michael came in and sat down beside me. "Okay, everyone take out their homework" Ms. Speller ordered walking through the aisles to collect. Taking out my homework I looked at Michael who was also going through his book bag. Everyone in the room noticed this and watched carefully curious, he couldn't be doing what we thought he was doing. He took out the work sheet and placed it on the table, everyone gasped not knowing what to think of this. "There is a God" Ms. Speller said making everyone laugh, he looked around noticing everyone still staring. "What, I can't do homework now?" He never did homework, so why was he doing it now? "Michael in all the time I've known you, you've never did homework." Jermaine said looking at him sideways, and they were best friends since pre-school. "It must be Gabriella" A boy named Joel said from the other corner of the room. Aleli spoke up for the first time saying, "It aint Gabriella that's getting Mike to do his homework" she looked up out f her lap at him with a half smile. He blushed and turned his head so that I wouldn't see it. Jermaine smiled at me and then at Michael. Even the teacher looked at the both of us with a grin.

Walking home from school I heard someone calling me from behind. I turned around to see Aleli who was speed walking towards me. "I'm so sorry Yahara, please forgive me" She begged stopping in front of me. I looked at her with an emotionless face and just shrugged my shoulders. "You're forgiven" I said walking around her once more. "Look okay I didn't want to tell you but Mikey is like in love with you, he likes you ALOT. He has liked you for a very long time probably since the first day you had came. Seeing that he's like a brother and he asked me to not say anything I kept quite. I even lied, but last night he asked me if you had liked him back and I told him that you never really mentioned him. He sounded extremely let down so I said I would call and see. I'm sorry ok it was dumb and I made a mistake, now can we please be best friends again?" She asked with puppy dog eyes. As usual taking this all in was difficult. "Sure" I responded rolling my eyes and she nearly jumped on me and gave me a hug. "Ugh I couldn't take you being mad at me" she said pulling out of the hug. I had to say goodbye to her though as I remembered that I had tutoring. Knocking on the door felt strange. I wanted him not to be there but I knew he was and I knew we'd be alone in his room once more. He answered the door but just peeked out, once he saw me he made a face as if I stunk and opened the door. "You" he said moving out of the way, I rolled my eyes and walked in. The first thing I noticed was that he had no shirt on and might I say WOW. "Where's your shirt?" I asked quickly looking everywhere else but there, oh was it hard. "I'm getting ready for the party, my shirts in the dryer I just put it in. It won't be done for like thirty minutes, I couldn't help but think thank you Jesus for that wet shirt. For some reason I couldn't snap out of this one. "Are you gonna go upstairs, or just stand here trying to avoid looking at my chest" he said laughing. I narrowed my eyes and started to walk up stairs and he followed behind. "So what have you done since the last time?" I asked sitting in the same rolling chair as before. "Uh I did all of the sheets you gave me" he said as if this wasn't a shocker. "What's been up with you lately first you're doing your homework and now you’re actually listening to me?" I asked shocked at all the papers he handed me. He smiled as if he was pleased that I was proud. "Lately I've just been feeling like doing it, plus I don't want to hear your mouth" a smile stretched across his face which made me smile. I don't know is someone slipped something in my milk during lunch but I was falling hard for this guy. I turned away realizing how long we had been staring at each other and pretended as if I was going through his work. He scooted closer to me and I could sense that he was looking for a sequel of last time. I once again gradually backed up in the rolling chair pretending as if I didn't notice him getting closer. I spun the chair around facing the opposite way, but it was far too quite behind me. Tilting my head to the side wondering why he worded an answer a certain way, I got the shock of my life. His lips were kissing my neck and as he did I went completely pale. He pulled my hair out of the way caressing neck with his other hand on the opposite side. "Michael" I said as my heart started to pound harder, he could feel my pulse on his lips and he begin to smile through his kisses. "Michael" I said pulling away trying to keep my cool, he stopped kissing my neck but didn't remove himself. "What Margret?" he said in a deeper tone which made my breath quicken. "What are you doing" I asked like a dummy trying to sound normal. "What does it feel like I'm doing?" he asked spinning my chair around to face him. He rested both of his hands on both sides of the chair's arms. His face was inches away from mine as he hovered above me. Looking in his eyes was really the only place I could look. It was either that or his abs which would have seemed strange. His face came closer to mine as he asked softly, "do you like me Margret?" I felt as if this question was pretty strange so I didn't answer I just stared into his eyes slightly confused. "Do you ever think about me?" When he asked me this he was so close to my face that I could taste his breath in my slightly opened mouth. I was aching to kiss him and I answered, "yea I do". The mood jurastically changed when he got up and laughed. "I knew it, I guess my sexiness is that irresistible" he said this looking up in the air with a pleased expression. "You're and asshole! Why would you do that? Don't play with my emotions Michael, ever. I'm done with your cockiness and bullshit attitude, goodbye" getting up I head towards the door and he looked at me as if I was crazy. Grabbing my arm to stop me he said, "calm down I was just playing. Don't be mad at me, please" I could see an innocent look in his eyes. He stared into mine and then grabbed my other arm pulling me into a kiss.
