A/N: Sorry for not updating for the longest! Please accept this update as my apology! Enjoy!

Melody POV:

"Whoa" I whispered taking him in.

This boy was the boy from the first day. The one that had fought with Lance. But something about him today, he just looked so different.

He had on a black quarter sleeve shirt with a pair of grey cargo shorts and a pair of black converse. He had on a black hat that he wore backwards and a white g-shock watch. His hair curled around the edges of the hat. God, that drove me over the edge.

He looked at me with his hazel eyes as he offered a hand to help me up.

I gratefully took it and stood up.

His hand felt warm, and it covered my hand easily.

As soon as I was up on my feet I began to dust myself.

"Here" he said as he picked up my backpack and handed it to me.

"Thanks" I smiled throwing it onto my back.

It was so weird, this guy seriously looked like he changed from the first time I saw him. That day I thought he was an arrogant rude jerk. But right now, his hazel eyes are telling me a different story.

"You're Melody right?" he asked with a smooth voice.

"Uh, yes" I smiled. I felt my cheeks warm up, this boy was insanely cute.

Man, stupid teenager emotions.

"You're Mr. King?" I asked pushing a loose strand of my black hair behind my ear glancing at him.

He laughed a heartwarming laugh.

"Yea" he smiled.

Oh dam, he had dimples. I am such a sucker for dimples.

I smiled.

"My name's Johnny" he said as he stuck out his hand.

"Nice to meet you Johnny Boy" I spoke as I shook his hand.

He chuckled at that. We began to walk down the hallway towards our first class.

"So… Why are you all banged up?" he asked as we walked half way down the hall.

"Oh... Uh a skateboarding incident…" I replied shyly.

I would have tried to cover up but there was nothing I could use.

He seemed to notice my insecurity.

"Hey, I don't mind" he smiled.

"It's pretty bad ass if you ask me" he winked.

Oh god. Heart melting. Girl hormones screeching. Heart beat racing.

"Uh thanks" I replied cooly as we reached the door to our first class.

He opened it for me.

"After you beautiful" he smiled.

"Thanks" I blushed.

We walked in and class had already begun.

"Ah Miss Jackson, Mr. King… Nice of you to join us" Mr. Chase said as we walked in.

"Sorry Mr. Chase, I uh… had a little accident this morning" I replied shyly.

Mr. Chase shook his head and looked at Johnny.

"And you?" he asked to Johnny.

He shrugged.

"Woke up late sir" he smiled.

"I see…" Mr. Chase spoke.

We both quickly walked back to our seats.

As I sat down I turned around to look at Johnny in the back of the class with his friends.

He looked at me and winked.

I smiled and turned back around.

"Oh gosh" I whispered.

Man, he is so adorable. Why didn't I take the time to notice him before? He's probably super nice, and smart. And he's already really athletic. Hmm... I wonder what sport he plays.

"MELDOY!" a voice yelled at me as I came crashing back to reality.

"What?" I yelled back.

It was Lance.

"What the hell was that? And you didn't come and get me!" he yelled.

"What was what? And I'm sorry, I forgot"

He rolled his eyes and spoke, "That winking non sense! What was that?"

I rolled my eyes too.

"It was nothing"

"Sure didn't look like nothing" Lance said as he crossed his arms in front of him.

"Don't worry about him, Lance just hates Johnny" Mahea spoke.

"Why?" I asked her.

"There's a long history" Mahea said rolling her eyes.

"Okay Class. Now that you've been paired up it's time to start on your project" Mr. Chase spoke.

"Project? What project?" I asked raising my hand.

"Oh yes. You were not here for the instructions. And Mr. King was also gone. Here's what will happen, you two will be partners in this project and I will explain this to you after I get the class started okay?" Mr. Chase spoke.

"Okay" I replied.

Hell yes. I get to be partners with Johnny.

"What! No!" Lance yelled.

I looked at him curiously.

"Why can't we just have a group of three or something?" Lance yelled as he stood up and out of his seat.

"Because Mr. Castellan, this is a partner project. Not a trio project" Mr. Chase said in a slightly annoyed voice.

"Lance, stop your causing a huge scene" Mahea whispered as she pulled him down.

Lance turned around and glared at Johnny.

"If you do anything. I will hurt you. " Lance spoke towards Johnny.

"Lance!" I yelled pulling him down.

"Knock it off" I whispered as he sat down.

"You don't know him Mel. He's a douche!" Lance protested.

"Whatever Lance. He seems really nice" I spoke.

"Yea that's what every girl thinks. Then they get their heart broken. Isn't that right Mahea?" Lance replied coldly.

Mahea glared at him.

"Shut up" she whispered intensifying her glare.

I raised my eyebrows at them.

"It's a long story" Mahea said as she turned her attention back to the teacher.

"Uh okay"

"Okay now class, spilt up and go work on your projects" Mr. Chase announced.

"We'll see you later Mel" Mahea said as she dragged Lance out of the classroom.

"Just remember I am ALWAYS watching King!" Lance yelled as he walked out.

I rolled my eyes and walked up to Mr. Chase's desk with Johnny close behind.

As we stood in front of the desk I could feel Johnny's hand "accidentally" brush against mine. Gosh this simple gesture drove me crazy.

"Okay so the project. You will be working on this project for a good amount of time. It may run until the end of the quarter maybe even the semester." Mr. Chase spoke.

Hmm, what kind of project is this?

"Okay, so here are the instructions. First you will have to get to know you partner like the back of your hand. Once that is complete you must both find if you are compatible. If you are, then you must right a paper about what your thoughts of true love are. If you are not, then you must write a paper of the complications of love" Mr. Chase spoke.

"What the heck… Not to be rude, but this is a little strange" I confessed.

"Exactly, that is my whole point. You are all now in a little small shell, I want you all to break free and ponder the big question of the universe. The question of love. You see, you can take classic pieces of work like Romeo and Juliet. Love was a huge theme in that story. Love drove them to their death beds. I want you all to explore and see if you can understand why someone would give up their life for love." Mr. Chase smiled.

"Hmm, interesting" I spoke.

"So, is this like a couple things?" Johnny asked.

"You could say so Mr. King, so you'd better get used to Miss Jackson." Mr. Chase spoke.

Oh god, a couple project. With Johnny. Oh my goodness. Cue girl shriek.

I closed my eyes and did my best to hold in my excitement.

"Oh I could get used to her" Johnny spoke.

I opened up my eyes in enough time to see Johnny gazing down at me with a smile.

I blushed furiously.

"That is splendid. You guys will be excellent partners, now go on" Mr. Chase said as he took a seat at his desk.

"Shall we?" Johnny spoke he held open his hand.

"We shall" I smiled taking his hand.

We walked out of the classroom into the courtyard hand in hand.

As we got there, we talked and talked until we had nothing left to say.

Man, I think I'm starting to fall for this boy, Johnny King.
