Laptop, check. Notes, check. Biology bo- I have biology today… and Darren does too. I don't think I can take a whole two hours next to him. My eyes will probably begin to cry in less than five minutes and it'll just be totally awkward. Should I go? I have to since we have an exam today. Well, this isn't going to be easy but I better get going…

"(Y/N), why are you late?" asked Professor Green.

"I'm so sorry professor, personal problems…" I said as I sat down next to Darren, at my assigned seat.

"Don't let it happen again."

"Yes, sir."

One table, two seats. I immediately turned my head away from Darren. The only thing I actually got a glimpse of was a couple of his curls and Sabrina. She was sitting at the very back of the classroom. As the professor passed out our exams, I couldn't keep still. I kept pulling at my clothes to try to seem busy, but it was obvious that I wasn't.

"Miss Sabrina is the only one who's not going to be evaluated for this exam. I hope all of you had a descent amount of study time since this will be rather difficult. Well, best of luck!"

Two weeks ago we found out we were taking this exam. Darren and I had spent hours in the commons studying, but it didn't seem to help him. He was a straight A student with biolody as an exception. I'm going to admit it, Darren and I did cheat on the last biology exam. It was totally necessary though, he needed it. We were so afraid of getting caught that we created an "alien code" as Darren called it. It consisted of a combination of pencil taps and the number of fingers we held down. Sometimes we couldn't help but giggle a little during the test because the professor wouldn't notice, but today the whole room was completely silent.

There was something in me urging to turn around and see what was going through his mind. I wanted to talk to him and try to settle this. Just five minutes is all I needed I continued through my exam as fast as I could to finish. Once I finished, I immediately took it to the professor at his desk . He revised it and said, "It looks great! I can't wait to see the final score."

All I could do was smile but it wasn't genuine. When I turned, Darren's eyes were on me. It took a couple of seconds for me to snap back to reality. I walked back to my desk as quick as I could…

The bell rang about 30 minutes later and I swiftly gathered all my things. Right when I was about to head out—

"I heard about you and Darren…"

"Damn it Joe, get out, you're blocking my way!"

"Not 'till you listen to me,"

"What do you want?"

"I want you to be happy! You're my friend and I know Darren loves you… Lets go to the movies tonight!"

"Oh Joe, I don't know."

"Oh come on!" he said while leaning in to tickle me.

"Joe, no, I don't want to go! It's been a bit difficult." I managed to say.

There was silence between us for a few seconds. I wondered if I got him mad or something. He looked down, took me right outside the classroom by my arm, and stared dead straight in my eyes.

"Look, (Y/N)." he whispered, a bit too nervous.

He was really starting to worry me. Why was he speaking to me like this? Again, he looked down and started running his fingers through his hair in frustration. I just looked at him in confusion.

"Okay, so before you came in this morning, that Sabrina girl was flirting with Darren. I was sitting beside them and heard them talk about going to the movies. Guess what? That pisses me off because I think you and Darren make the cutest couple! I also want to do some serious secret spying…" his face went from frustrating to smiling and then to serious.

I stared at him as I nodded. I couldn't believer this! This girl is a ..a … bitch. Joe waved his hands across my face and I snapped back to reality.

"Lets do this…" I finally said.

"Yeah, that what I'm talking about!" he exclaimed with his fist in the air.
