ALISHA'S P.O.V

I had never really been a social person and I avoided any social gatherings and confrontation.

I prefer to keep to my humble self and maintain my sanity .

This is why at the age of sixteen, I have never been to a party, gone on a date with a  boy nor have I even kissed one.

Not in real life at least...

It's not like I didn't like boys, its just...boys didn't like me.

I didn't even know how to act around them, though I have seen the popular girls like Zarha try to flirt with hot guys but they always ended up looking like they were having epilepsy with their frequently blinking eyes under heavy eyelashes.

Poor unfortunate eyes...

Usually I'd just shake my head at the thought but frankly, after yesterdays humiliation of many, I think Zarha was right.

I've been so busy with my books that I didn't even realize that I didn't have a life but I found more peace with my books, more at ease in my fantasy that shielded me from the all the drama of the real world.

In layman's terms, I didn't have a life and I probably never would.

Today was Friday, I had Biology last period and my teacher, Mr Steve was talking about agglutination and the different blood groups.

We were supposed to do a project that depicts the human circulatory system and how blood is pumped in both single and double circulation.

Mr Steve told us to pick partners and every one else had their usual buddies when we had projects like this.

As usual, I was a loner when it came to these kinds of things but not today, today Mr Steve paired me up with Jayden.

How great,this is just my day. Let the boy who saw me in the boys bathroom and was mentally laughing at my ordeal be my project partner...

Universe -2, Alisha -0

"Mr Steve can I please have a different partner or can I do the project alone like I've always done." I desperately plead for him to let me do it alone.

I asked with my hopes up high that he'd agree but then came this,

"No Ms Brown, you did your projects alone because you didn't have a partner to pair up with but now you have one, Mr West. So no excuses. Good day. " he concluded as he stood up mad left the class.

One glance at him and his blue eyes were laughing at me.

I had no choice but to agree.

This was going to be one hell of a week...

JAYDEN'S P.O.V

We were biology partners, I didn't have a problem with that. She on the other hand,  was on the verge of losing it.

I couldn't stop laughing when she tried to get out of it. No luck for her.

I have to admit, it did baffle me. She's the first girl I have ever seen that got paired up with me for a project and didn't thank her stars that they got the hot guy.
She was truly different.

The bell rang and every one left. Except us.

"Hi, again,"I said sitting down beside her.

"H-Hi." She couldn't even talk to me without stuttering or looking down, how were we supposed to do the project?

"So were biology partners now huh,"
She nodded"and were supposed to work on this project together." I said emphasizing  the word 'together' to see if I could get a rise out of her.

She nodded, again trying to avoid as much eye contact as possible with me.

I had to stop myself from laughing because if I did, she'd just run away again and I didn't even laugh the first time.

"So are we doing the project at my house or yours, we're going on midterms so there'll be a lot of time for it."

She didn't speak so I continued on.
"or we could exchange the days, one day mine, the next yours. Sound good?"

She nodded.
"Where do you live?"
She finally spoke after our long one-sided conversation.

She has a voice, Thank the Heavens...

"The first house on Peak avenue."
She continued "I think we should do it at your house for tomorrow mine the next. Is that okay with you?"

I nodded.

"Okay, bye." she said.

"Wait, can I at least walk you to the door."

She smiled then nodded.

I walked her to the door.

"Wait! You didn't give me your address."she said.

I mentally face palmed myself.

"Yeah right, its 7,Cole street."

She nodded and took off.

I went home as well.

"Hi mom," I greeted my mom as soon as I got home.

"Hi Baby, what's up?"

"I have a friend coming over tomorrow to work on a project. Is that okay?"

"Of course dear. Wait, is this friend a boy or a girl?" She raised an eyebrow at me, giving me the suspicious look.

"A girl." I replied smiling.

"Do you like this girl?" She asked looking suspicious.

"Kinda." I laughed.

"Will there be any funny business involved?"

"Maybe." I shrugged as I teased her.
We both burst out laughing.

Then she asked, "Do you require privacy?"

Yes my dear mother because I intend to keep her here for as long as I can and never let her go again...

But instead I said, "Yes, please."
With that, I already knew she wasn't leaving the house the next day.

"Okay, I can't wait to meet her." she said smiling at me like she win the lottery.

Just boil me in hot oil  before tomorrow...
