Nate's Prov
"Science partners for this year are as follows..."
I groaned inwardly I always got partnered up with some jock that landed me with all the work but no matter how much I would complain Mrs Tyler would never let me swap.
"Nathaniel, Nathaniel, NATHANIEL!" Mrs Tyler's high pitched voice brought me out of my thoughts.
"Are you paying attention? You're with Caitlyn Gellar." She frowned slightly before carrying on.
I rolled my eyes slightly before scanning the room for my partner, at least it wasn't a jock but known my luck she would be a self absorbed, air head...that was extremely beautiful. My negative thoughts faded when a petite girl with loose curly hair, beautiful brown eyes and the sweetest smile I've ever seen was smiling and waving at me.
I must have looked like a total idiot when I smiled and waved back goofily, realising this I stopped quickly and blushed slightly as she was giggling softly making her way towards me.
"Caitlyn." She smiled as she held out her hand.
"Nathaniel but you can just call me Nate." I smiled taking her hand gently and shaken it.
"Now choose your seats people so we can get started. Remember seats and partners do not change until next year!" Mrs Tyler cut in on the moment I was sharing with Caitlyn.
I groaned inwardly as she took her hand out of mine and led us towards a desk near the back of the room.
"I like this desk I sit here every year." She smiled taking a seat.
"Really?" I said confusedly.
"Yeah." She said giggling at my expression.
"I'm sorry it's just I can't really remember you in this class at all." I smiled shyly at her.
"Yeah, I just like keeping myself to myself you know especially since none of my friends are in this class." She answered quietly.
"Well now you do have a friend in the class." I smiled warmly at her.
Her smile got wider before she said, "I'm glad I was partnered with you, usually I get partnered with some jerky jock."
I giggled slightly, "Me too!"
We spent the rest of the class exchanging stories about past partners and laughing together.
Before I knew it the class was over and after saying bye to Caitlyn (which I hated!) I made my way to my locker.
"Dude! How did science go? What dumb jock did you get partnered with this time?" Jason (one of my best friends) smiled walking up beside me.
"Actually..." I began to explain but was cut off by Zach (a dumb jock).
"He got some really hot chick!" Zach said pouting slightly as he opened the locker beside mine.
Let me explain Zach is a bit of a womaniser he has a new girlfriend every other day there's nothing he loves more than having girls hang on his every word and his main goal in life is too become the man that has officially dated every single woman on the planet.
"Really?" Jason smirked at me.
"Yeah, I got partnered up with a girl she's called Caitlyn. She's nice." I smiled.
"Who cares if she's nice? Dude she's a hottie!" Zach said before running after a couple of girls in short skirts.
I rolled my eyes at him before grabbing my history books out of my locker.
"So, is this girl hot?" Jason smiled and nudged me as we walked to history together.
"She's pretty, I guess." I had to drop eye contact with him as I lied, she was more than pretty but I didn't want anyone finding out I liked her.
"Well, point her out to me next time and we can make a joint decision." He smiled walking into our classroom.
"Joint decision about what?" Shane (the other best friend) asked coming up behind us.
"Whether or not Nate's science partner is hot." Jason smirked.
"Wow, you got a girl this year instead of one of those brain dead jocks?" Shane said a little loudly enabling one of the football players to overhear.
"Shut it, freak!" The quarter back said shoving Shane into the door frame.
"Dude, are you o.k.?" I asked concerned.
"I'm fine, I used to get shoved into lockers by them door frames are a huge improvement." He smiled. "So, anyway your hot science partner?" He questioned as we made our way to our seats.
Caitlyn's Prov
After I said bye to Nate I made my way to my next class and managed to catch up with Mitchie and Ella.
"Hey guys!" I smiled walking up beside them.
"Hey Caity!" They said together.
"How was science? Another jerky jock this year?" Mitchie questioned.
"Actually no." I smiled.
They both looked shock.
I giggled at their expressions, "I know I couldn't believe it either."
"So, who is it?" Ella said snapping out of the shock first.
"Nate Rushton." I smiled dreamily as I remembered the little smile and wave he gave me from across the room when we locked eyes for the first time.
"Oooh! I know what that smile means." Mitchie smirked.
"Caity has a CRUSH!" Ella yelled.
For a split second it felt like everyone in the corridor went quiet and began to stare at the three of us making me flush a deep shade of red.
Mitchie and Ella went into a fit of giggles.
"Shut up!" I hissed. "I don't fancy Nate." I said trying to avoid their eye contact.
"You were never a convincing liar." Mitchie smiled.
"Yeah I know." I sighed making them break out into another fit of laughter before entering our classroom.
