Hey x
I'm back, sorry it took so long for me to update. My laptop wasn't letting me to connect to the internet. Grrrrr.
Anyway, hope you enjoy!
This chapter is especially dedicated to Cupcake Sweetheart. And also to all the rest of my wonderful reviewers. I love you all :)

Love, Saima x
P.S I own nothing. Meg Cabot owns all.

I leaned into Paul's side, into that one spot that felt like it was just made for me. It was our Sunday night routine - Movie Night. It was such a soppy couple thing that no-one, except Cee, knew about.

'I love you.' Paul whispered into my ear.

I smiled. 'I love you, too.' I did love him. Even if I did occasionally act annoyed with him, and even if he had like one brain cell, I was in love with him and everything about him:

I loved how he was this big jock in school, but in reality he was the sweetest boy that you could ever hope to meet.

I loved how he was dumb, but we still had these meaningful, deep chats - even if he did ruin them at the end by asking something stupid like 'Who do you like better, Tom or Jerry?' Actually, I loved it when he said random things like that.

I loved how he would rather hang out with me when I was ill, instead of going to the football game that he had been waiting for for ages.

I loved it how he would surprise me with Hershey's Kisses, which I loved with an utmost passion.

I loved him, because he was just simply amazing. Even if he had nothing upstairs.

It was crazy. I vowed from a young age to never fall in love, after seeing what heartbreak it caused. I saw it in movies, on soap operas and most importantly, in my mother and father. My mom was hopelessly in love with my dad, and vice versa. And he was taken cruelly from her. But here I was with Paul.

'You're coming with me to the Valentine's Ball, right?' Paul broke me away from my thoughts.

'I don't know. I'm thinking of going Stag.' I lied skilfully.

'What? How can you not come with me? I can't believe you, Suze. One minute, you're telling me that you love me and the next, you don't even want to go with me to the Valentine's Ball! ' I felt kind of guilty, Paul looked generally upset. It was real mean of me to mess with his head like that, but it was too tempting.

'I'm joking, silly. Of course I'm going with you!' Time to grovel, he still looked upset. 'I'm sorry, baby. Forgive me?' Hmmm, the silent treatment. I kissed his jaw slowly, until I reached his ear. 'I love you.' I whispered.

Paul turned around and looked at me, eyebrows raised. I smirked at him. 'Works every time.'

'Whatever.' Paul smiled, then kissed me. 'Let's watch the rest of the movie.' So, we did.

'See you at lunch.' I pecked Paul on the lips, and smiled at him. And lame as it was, I watched him walk away with his big group of jock friends. I don't know why, but ever since our movie night I had become crazily in love with him.

'That the boyfriend?' A voice from behind me said. I didn't recognize this voice, so I turned around.

Oh my God, there stood in front of me was the hottest boy I had ever laid eyes on. And that was saying something, seeing as Paul was voted Hotty Number 1 in Kelly Prescott's sad blog. But, I figured that was going to change.

'Hello? I'm not talking to myself, you know.' Okay, he had an attitude problem, though.

I glared at him, but got temporarily distracted. His eyes were the most amazing chocolate-brown colour, and his hair. Oh my, I just wanted to run my hands through his black curls.

'Are you deaf?' Ah, the return of the attitude.

'No, I'm not deaf. And who are you, anyway?' I glared at him again, even though he was too hot to glare at.

'Jesse De Silva. Pleased to meet your acquaintance.' He grabbed my hand, and kissed it. Okay, this guy can work the charm. Swoon. 'And you are?'

'Susannah Simon. I prefer Suze, though.'

'Whatever you say, Susannah.' He smiled, then walked off. You've got a boyfriend, you've got a boyfriend…Suddenly, it seemed hard to remember that I had a boyfriend.

I took a seat in Math and watched my best friend come tumbling through the door, with a huge smile on her face.

'Hey, Suze! Guess what?' Cee jumped up and down in front of me, obviously beyond herself with excitement.

'Errr….You got ants in your pants?' I asked with no trace of sarcasm in my voice.

'No! Adam, as in Adam Adam, asked me to the Valentine's Ball!' CeeCee beamed at me, her happiness was obvious.

'Aww, really? That's so cute.' I smiled at her. 'I'm happy for you.'

'Thanks. Hey, did you see that new guy? I know I'm totally in love with Adam and all, but he is beyond hot.'

'Yeah, I saw him. Spoke to him, too.' I said to my fingernails - They so needed painting.

'Really? Wow. Lucky you.' Cee sighed. 'Do you like him?' She asked me with caution in her voice.

'No. I'm with Paul, you know I love him. Yeah, this new guy is extremely hot, but so is Paul. Besides, the new guy - whose name is Jesse, by the way - is very rude.' I thought back to our little conversation.

We spent the next hour multitasking - Solving our trig problems, and talking about Paul and Adam.

'I'm eating lunch with Paul today, wanna join us?' I asked Cee as we packed away our things, and walked into the hallway full of students.

'Sure. Adam eats there, too.' I rolled my eyes at her, and we walked toward the Canteen. On the way, we saw Jesse.

He winked at me, and then laughed as I blushed. What was happening to me? Susannah Simon never blushes.
