El's POV
I was sitting in class only two days after my detention adventures and saw Mike sitting and laughing with Dustin and Max. At this moment and only this moment I was envious of Mike and it was a very sour feeling. I decided if I have to hang with Mike, I'm going to have my fun with the predicament. I started to get up and walk towards Mike and his friends.
"Mike I was just checking, we still on for tonight?" I asked using a sexy yet innocent voice.
Mike tensed up and looked thoroughly shocked for a moment before responding.
"Uhh yeah we can do it at your house." Mike said stuttering through his words.
"Ok, see you tonight." I said while walking away with a victorious smirk on my face.
Mike's POV
"Well damn Mike, you didn't tell us you were tapping the head cheerleader." Dustin said with a proud grin on his face
"I'm not tapping anything Dustin, were just friends." I said trying to keep the embarrassment off of my face.
"Why would you want to be her friend, she's mean, shallow, and bitchy." Max said looking very annoyed by the thought El.
"It's nothing you guys were just working on something." Mike said not feeling like it was his place to tell others El needed a tutor.
The day went by and I was getting more and more antsy. Yeah, I was just tutoring her but the way she talked about it made it seem so dirty. Due to the absence of my health teacher I had to spend my last period in gym with El and let's just say it wasn't easy.
El's POV
I was in gym class doing our exercise routine when another class walked in and I saw a certain pale young man with a mop of messy black hair. We would be together in just an hour so I decided to start messing with him. I made sure to stretch in a real seductive way and to bounce while I ran. I decided to look over to Mike and there he was, staring at me intently so I decided to wink.
Mike's POV
I swear it felt like El enjoyed giving me random boners in school. When I walked into the gym, there she was in her tight shorts and shirts. It was hard not to look when everything was so visible and good looking. My heart had dropped when she made eye contact with me. Instead of the disgusted look I one hundred percent expected she winked at me. It had happened so fast I thought maybe I imagined it. Things would not be enjoyable tonight if my mind continued to stay in the state that it was currently in.
No one's POV
The gym class had went by and while Mike tried to get out of there in a hurry, El was just a little bit faster.
"My dad has a lot of work at the office, so I thought we could walk together."
Mike was praying she wouldn't say those words but she did, so he simply nodded and walked to grab his bike. Mike and El were walking home in a comfortable silence.
"So, what's it like to have real friends?" El asked having probably her first sincere conversation with Mike ever.
"Who are you kidding El, everybody at school loves you." Mike said taken aback by El's question
"Everybody at schools loves my reputation and popularity but nobody seems to just like El." El said kind of annoyed at Mike's assumption.
"Well, you have me and uh I think were friends now and to be honest I like El way more than Popular El or Captain of the cheerleaders El, I just like El." Mike said giving El a warm smile.
El's POV
Mike was being extremely sweet right now and it made me feel guilty. He seemed to already value this brand-new friendship and I had only spoke to him so I could remain cheer captain.
"Everything ok El, you look a little sad." Mike said with his genuine concern he always seems to have for people.
"Yea it's just you're the first person whoever told me they just value me and only me, not my status or popularity, so thank you for that." I said with a warm smile.
I went to give Mike a hug and that's when I felt it. I felt a warm feeling and I also felt his boner. Normally I'd try even harder to sexually frustrate Mike, but I think I'm going to give this friends thing a real try. The rest of our walk home was in comfortable silence and when we arrived to our homes, Mike went to put his bike on the rack, I told him he could just walk in when he was ready. I walked into my house and headed towards my room to change into comfier clothes. I wore a long sweater with shorts and fuzzy socks. As I finished putting my clothes on, I heard the door close, assuming it was Mike I yelled out to tell him my room was the first door on the left upstairs. As the footsteps approached, I looked down in the math textbook.
"Mrs. Johnson assigned us pages 325-328 so I was thinking-." I started to say but froze when I realized it wasn't Mike at my door.
"Expecting a nerd?" Troy said with a certain coldness in his voice that sent chills down my spine.
