Chapter 4:

Adam's POV:

I tossed at turned, my eyes were shut but I couldn't sleep. Her face kept going through my mind, flashing. After only one day of knowing her she was driving me insane. I opened my eyes to look at the clock. 1:05 am.

"Ugh," I sighed, flopping over and shutting my eyes again. Her deep grey eyes stared at me, her lips smiling as her hair falls perfectly over her shoulders. "UGHH!" I yell now.

"Dude will you shut up?" Drew asks, barging through the door and into my room, "I seriously can not sleep with all your groaning over here!"

"Shut up," I replied, turning over to face him, "Go back to bed."

"No until you tell me what is going on with you," he said, a small smile on his face that was half worried.

"Girls that's what!" I yelled angrily.

"Ah," I said, his eyes growing wide for a moment before nodding his head, "Got it. Who though? And please don't tell me that bitch Bianca! She's gotten us both in way too much trouble!"

"Of course not," I said, rolling my eyes at him, "It's just some new girl…" I knew that description wasn't accurate… Tracey wasn't just some new girl. She was amazing. She was beautiful… she was the reason I was suffering from insomnia! "Ugh…" I said for the third time.

"Dude… chill out," Drew said, patting me on the shoulder, "Take a deep breath and relax… it'll work out. I promise. You like her?"

"I think she's cute," I snapped back, not wanting to admit something like that after only knowing her for one day.

"Right sure," Drew replied sarcastically, "that's why you can't sleep because of her… it's okay to like her you know. You taught me that about Alli, now I'm telling you."

"Gee thanks…" I said, "Now go to bed."

"Fine… I will," Drew said, standing up and walking to the door, "You get some sleep too though." he shut the door behind them.

I shut my eyes and saw her again… so much for getting any sleep.

Tracey's POV:

I jumped out of my car excitedly and walked over to where I saw Clare, Eli and of course… Adam sitting on a bench before school. As I stepped over I waved happily. Eli nudged Adam a little with a smirk on his face and Adam shot him a death glare. Clare rolled her eyes at both of them as I reached the bench.

That's when I saw the bags underneath Adam's eyes and the fact that his hair was messed up and overall he looked… disheveled. "Are you alright Adam?" I asked, "You look exhausted!"

"Who's fault do you think that is?" he asked with a pout on his face… one that I had to admit was absolutely adorable.

"Excuse me?" I asked in confusion.

"Don't mind him," Clare answered before he could, "He's suffering from an inability to make sense thanks to lack of sleep."

"Um… alright," I said, raising my eyebrows at Adam, whose face went rather red before he looked down to the ground. I gulped… did that mean something? I shook the thought from my head. I had already told myself before that there was absolutely no way I would fall for someone this quickly… not even the completely cute and caring and funny and amazing and… wait! Rewind Tracey. I shook my head to myself before realizing that Clare and Eli were both looking at me curiously.

"You alright?" Eli asked with a chuckle.

"I'm good," I replied with a sigh as the bell rang.

"Well see you two later," Clare waved before linking hands with Eli and walking towards the school.

"That's so cute!" I smiled after them, "They're holding hands!"

"You want to?" I heard Adam ask from beside me. My heart nearly lurched to a stop… maybe I misheard him.

"Huh?" I asked, looking up at him with wide eyes to see him looking away a little, his face red.

"Let's go," he said, walking forward as he took my hand in his. I stared at our hands linked together and drew in a deep breath. My heart rate skyrocketing as always… but something more. There was a certain something about this moment as we walked hand in hand to class that was perfect. A nervousness that wasn't awkward. That's when I realized.

I liked Adam Torres… and I think he likes me too.
