Liam POV

I was still trying to handle the fact that Kels rejected me yesterday.. I mean, I knew she was kidding around... but.. Yeah, she's probably just kidding around.

"Dude, prom is coming up, and I'm freaking the fuck out," Niall huffed, playing with his hair as I grabbed my books for my first period.

"You'll be fine, " I replied. His eyes drooped, unamused.

"Niall, why so serious?" I asked calmly, Joker randomly popping up in my thoughts, and how Kelsey loves Joker and Batman.. and how I love Kelsey.

"Liam, are you listening? Lad, I'm not kidding, help a bro out. Ask Kelsey to help me. Essie is a serious part of me happiness and I want to make this the best," he tugged my shoulder, and I looked at him.

" Huh?" I asked again, subconsciously searching around the halls for Kelsey... Hmm, she's probably in the bathroom with Essie.

"Dude, nevermind. I'll just ask for help from Kelsey myself," Niall growled.

"Whut? Sorry bro, I-" I turned back to Niall who was walking away with his books in one hand.

"Niall?!" I waved, grabbing my stuff and closing my locker. He rose the back of his hand, and flicked me off.

I couldn't help but laugh, before I turned to find Essie walking by, her eyes glued to the assignment she was easily bullshitting.

She probably knows where Kelsey is. I rushed to catch up with her in the hall.

"Hey," I breathed, watching her chicken scratch writing messily slide across the paper. She took a quick look up as I nudged her shoulder, before looking back down to her work.

"Oh hey, Liam. How did last night's rehearsal go?" she asked blankly. I nodded.

"Good, you should come next time. Um, would you happen to know where Kelsey is, by any chance?" I rose an eyebrow when she paused, before walking again.

"Uh, actually. I haven't talked to her since yesterday evening, I thought she was with you this morning," she admitted, quickly closing her book and looking up at me.

"That's weird, " we both said in unison.

I pursed my lips, my heart thudding in my chest in nervousness.

I guess Essie read my expression, because she suddenly lifted her hand to my shoulder, comfortingly.

"I'm sure she's fine, probably at her dialysis," she nodded before walking out into her class.

I stood there for a second, before letting out a sigh and walking into the next class, like a sad puppy. I want to see my Kelsey...

《《《《《

Kelsey POV

"Let's see what Leeroy thinks about this during your presentation in AP Bio today,  Liam," I murmured to myself as I slid on the thin netted black tights, for once actually showing my legs... partially.

I put on my high waisted jean shorts over it.Then jumped into my sneakers, the ones with all the marvel characters drawn on it.

My favorite pair of shoes.

I slid a tight long sleeve that fell loosely on one of my shoulder, and decided to curl my hair into a soft wave.

I tried to lighten my pale features by adding just a tint of mascara and a soft pink lipstick, I’m not much of a makeup person.

I sighed in agreement in the mirror, before I looked at my phone..

Holy Shit, it’s already past nine, I have around twenty minutes to head to school to get to second period on time.. I am presenting first.

I hurried to my car, my excitement to see Liam’s reaction making me chuckle to myself.

It’s time for  payback Liam. Revenge has never felt better, babe.

Liam POV

I hurried to AP Bio, hoping to see that familiar petite body sitting in her seat beside mine, waving and making some odd expression, but my shoulders slumped when the stool was empty.

It was already past nine, I would think her dialysis would take less time. Now I was really worrying.

I began working on my warm-up, grabbing my gatorade and taking a sip. Just as I did,  the door creaked. I shot my head up in high hopes to see Kel-

I nearly choked on the blue juice, coughing out loud as it spilled all over my papers, Mr.Fletcher giving me an odd look.

I watched as Kelsey walked in, refusing to make eye-contact with me as she handed Fletcher the tardy slip. When she turned, I couldn’t help but feel my heart thump at the sight of her bum..

Never had I seen anyone pull of high waisted jean shorts as well as Kelsey did… and the way the netted tights teased the softness of her thighs...

Oh my fucking god.

She walked to her seat, her hips swaying in such a beautiful fashion that made me want her so badly.

“Sorry I’m late, I lost track of time when I woke up,” she breathed as she sat next to me, her usual beautiful ocean eyes brighter with the darkening lashes.

I just nodded stupidly, not even able to talk.

“You look- gorgeous,” I blurted, smiling weakly, still flustered. She giggled, moving a strand of curly hair behind her ear.

“Well, now that both of you are here, Liam, Kelsey, are you guys ready to present your experiment?” Fletcher interrupted my glaring.

I looked up at him, before looking at Kelsey who took out the project we finished yesterday evening before the boys came over.

She nodded and smiled, a certain glint in her eyes that seemed satisfied with something…

I stood up awkwardly, and after explaining the introduction, Kelsey finished off the powerpoint. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of her, the way she talked so intelligently was sexy enough, but the way her tight shirt slid against her beautiful waist, the curves of her bum…

This girl in the front row suddenly dropped her paper that she was taking notes with, and I hated her with all my guts for dropping it… Why? Because it fell right in front of Kelsey, and she habitually bent down to pick it up for her….

I tried to look away but the image was already in my head, my body going into a frenzy of hormones. Dammit, Kelsey.

I looked at the class, finding half of them holding in a laugh. I rose an eyebrow, and looked at Kelsey, who had paused, giving me an odd look as she gazed around my torso.

“What?” I murmured as she continued explaining, holding in a laugh as her face blushed. She shook her head, chuckling a little as she spoke.

I heard someone trying to call my attention, and I turned to find James, a good basketball friend of mine, giving me an odd look.

“Dude, you have a massive boner ,” he mouthed, his hand pointing down under his desk..

I suddenly gulped as I looked down at my trousers, my eyes widening at the sight.

I pursed my lips in embarrassment, the heat in my face just ridiculous. I turned awkwardly to try and hide my large friend, but it was too late, the class clapped as we finished, Kelsey looking at me as we walked back to our seats.

She couldn’t hold in her laugh as the class finished taking their notes on the powerpoint we had laid out for them. I watched her gaze at my lap, before her smirk grew and she snickered.

“Looks like you were having a hard time up there, Liam,” Aaron snickered behind me. Kelsey’s eyes widened, and I knew she understood that damn pun.

I threw him a deadly glare, and he sat back, covering his nose in preparation.

I shuffled in my seat, trying to hide it… Never have I been so embarrassed in my life.

I remained quiet as I hid under my jacket. Only two things to blame: Kelsey…

and fucking Leeroy...
