Confused, I turned my head quickly to see who it was. And that was when I caught none other than the famous, Liam Willis.


I might want to say, I choked on my food.
How many times do I have to die today?!
"Jeez, Mad dog! When are you going to learn that food won't run out?!" Liam commented, teasing me while grabbing Zoey's bottle of water and opening it for me.


I coughed aggressively for a couple of times, and I felt my face turning red. And when I finally recovered from my shock, I took the bottle from him and gulped in some of my dear precious life.
I let out a sigh before I looked at him. "Once you learn that you should stop startling me," I replied with a little bit of sass.

"So Maddie..." Liam called my name, which instantly made me look back at him. Somehow, my heart softened.


Wait, my name's Maddie, right?
"Um... I actually came to ask you something," he informed, and suddenly my expectations jumped high.

Oh my God! Is he going to ask me to prom?!
Oh god, is this really happening?!
Shit, I haven't washed my hair in two days! And what's that smell? Is it me?!

"Gurl, you're in a deep friend zone," she said with laughter, only to make me sigh and drop my head at the table with a thud.
Which was probably not a good idea because now I have a face full of pizza.


I groaned and pulled myself back up before grabbing a napkin and wiping my face miserably. However, Zoey just laughed even more.

"George?!" I snapped and widened my eyes at her. "You got a date?!"

"What do you mean by nothing?! Zoey we were going together!" I complained, feeling betrayed.
"I know, I'm sorry! He's just so sweet and nice and smart and handsome, I couldn't say no!" she explained, making me gag and roll my eyes.
"I can't believe you..." I sat back and crossed my arms over my chest. Today is officially the worst day ever!


"Maddie, I'm so sorry. But put yourself in my shoes! If Liam asked you wouldn't you go?"
I looked at her through the corner of my eyes, trying not to fall into her trap. "No! Yes. Maybe..."
"You see!"

But you owe me slushies!" I demand


"Well? When did he ask you?" I leaned forward and questioned curiously.


"At chemistry. Second period." she blushed. "He made a chemical proposal and asked me."

Zoey loves chemistry just as much as she love


I, on the other hand, my favorite subject is lunch. And biology, of course!
Cough.

"Awe! He's so adorable!" I couldn't help but smile in satisfaction. "I'm happy for you."
George happens to be Zoey's study buddy and lab partner. He has tan skin, curly brown hair and matching brown eyes. I know him for a nerdy kinda guy and I never thought that he would have a thing for Zoey or vice versa. But you never know love!


Beats me, at least...

"Believe me, the last thing I'm thinking about right now is a prom date!"
That and toe food. Who the hell labels food as toes?!


And with that, the whole prom conversation ended, and we started talking about other things.

After a couple of more hours, classes finally found their end and people started making their way towards the parking lot, excited about leaving the prison, known as high school.


I stood outside the school's gate and watched as cars, motorbikes and bicycles left the school's property. If you're wondering, no. I don't have a car. And that is because I suck at driving.


Apparently, those orange triangle things that get placed on the floor in a driving test, were not supposed to be driven over like checkpoints.
That and because I ran over three dolls.


"Don't even dream about driving" the instructor said before kicking me out of the car. I just don't get what's the big deal. I was doing great!


I started walking around a few steps waiting for Cody-aka my annoying big brother-to make an appearance. He's always been the one to drive me to school before heading off to college and picking me up after finishing. But yet sometimes, he gets caught up with stuff, I get to walk back home.


My house is like 20 exhausting minutes away. Not to mention that I have an allergy to exercising...


Let's not hope this is one of the times.


Frustrated, I grabbed my phone from my pocket and started calling him. And when he didn't answer, I went and texted him.

Three hours later.
I was sitting on my bed, catching up with homework and assignments when, all of a sudden, my phone vibrated.


I ignored it, concluding it might be some game notifying me or a Chrome advertisement about how to prevent getting bald. But after a few more seconds, it vibrated again.

Quickly, I unlocked my phone and scrolled down the notification bar only to see that I got 2 messages from Liam. At that, I jumped with shock, almost sending my laptop flying across the other side of the room.
