I buckled my seatbelt and the car started moving, Tori has her hands on the wheel but it looks like she was out of it.
"You're driving," I said.
She didn't respond, the huge smile on her lips never changing.
I cleared my throat loudly, which seemed to catch her attention.
"what?" she chirped. She was trying to mask her happiness but It was so obvious.
"what's got you all jumpy" I asked, "You're literally a beam of sunshine right now"
"thanks" she glanced at me.
"It wasn't a compliment" I rolled my eyes and she shrugged me off.
"Hannah and I are going somewhere after school so..."
Oh fuck.
"We have quizzes tomorrow?" I questioned her.
"Don't act like you're not going to spend your time with Chloe."
"dOn'T aCt LiKe- Shut up." I mumbled angrily.
This is annoying.
"Come on" she nudged me, "today's a good day! Hannah and I are going out, You and Chloe did a little thing..."
"How's that a good thing?" I turned to her and asked, "I don't even think I could look at her"
After pulling off that stunt, with Kristy aware, I don't know if I could show my face.
The memory of her breathing heavily, with those green eyes glued to mine-
I shook the thought away, ignoring the warm feeling on my cheeks.
She parked the car and unbuckled her seatbelt. "You're blushing Eli. You'll do fine"
"I won't" I removed the seatbelt and she chuckled.
"I know"

First period. No Tori, No Chloe.
I sat down on my chair and rested my head on the desk.
I sighed audibly, closing my eyes and thinking of what to do later.
I mean... It was a good kiss...?
Does she think it's a good kiss?
I shudder at the thought. This feeling was new and I don't know how to handle it.
the tingling sensation in my stomach and her warm lips, her hands tangled in my hair...
I brought my head up and banged it on the desk lightly.
I felt someone grab my shoulder and turn me towards them.
"You okay?"
My eyes widened and I felt my heart race. Suddenly everything was warm.
I removed her hand from my shoulder and attempted to fix my hair, I wore them down today so I think it's all over the place.
"Chlo why are you here?" I managed to ask.
She set her bag down on the desk beside me and sat.
She pressed a slender finger on her lips, "Shh" she whispered and giggled lightly.
Her small laugh felt like cute little pokes on my stomach and I looked away.
This is annoying...
I heard a chair move and found her closer to me.
"This is a bad idea" I told her, "you'll get in trouble"
"Pshh" she waved her hand dismissively, "at least I get to sit next to you"
My cheeks flamed and I narrowed my eyes at her, "we have the same class lat-"
The door opened and the professor went inside.
The other students went back to their own seats and I noticed the usual person I sit next to weren't there.
I looked at her questionably and she smiled cheekily.
I glared at her.
This adorable piece of sh-
"Good morning class" his voice pulled me out of my thoughts.
"Let's have recap...."
-
30 minutes in and Chloe's already passing me little paper with notes.
I saw her hand place something on my desk and I looked at her nonchalantly, she motioned me to get the note.
I sighed and picked up the paper, discreetly opening it.
"Good morning :)" the note said, it was written in red ink.
I rolled my eyes and kept the note in my pocket.
Her hand slid on my desk and left another note
"Hi :D"
Again, I ignored her and hid the paper.
I heard foot stomp and I saw her handing me a note again.
I picked it up without peering my eyes away at the front.
I opened the paper and smiled lightly at the scribble.
"Reply :c"
I rested my chin on my palm and looked at her.
She was pouting cutely with her arms resting down on the desk.
I shook my head lightly and grabbed my blue pen, removing the cap.
"No." I wrote down and passed it back to her.
A folded piece of paper landed on my desk.
"Why :c"
I grinned and wrote down a reply.
"Because I said so."
I slid my hand to her desk and I looked at her open it.
She smiled lightly and wrote happily.
Her smile made me smile, the feeling of anxiousness I had earlier fading away.
I opened the note she left and I chuckled lightly.
"You're mean >:0"
looking at her, she was just staring at me with a cheeky smile and faced the front again.
I picked up my pen to write until I noticed a crumpled piece of paper hit the opposite side of my desk.
A jock called me quietly, telling me to pass the paper to Chloe.
I looked away and opened the ugly looking paper.
"Hey Chloe, I think you're really cute and fun. Do you want to go out with me at the movies this Friday? Or I can take you somewhere later if you're up to it ;)
- Kian, the guy with the blue varsity jacket
I turned to the guy and he looked pissed, probably because I read his note. He motioned his hands and pressed me to give the note to Chloe.
I glared at him and ripped the note in half, making sure he sees how I slowly crumpled the ripped paper and drop it to the floor.
I didn't bother to watch his reaction as I sit back again and saw another note lying on my desk.
"Are u mad at me"
I felt my mood turn sour and I ignored the letter, putting it in my pocket, silently telling her that I don't want to talk anymore.
