The next lesson we had together was chemistry which was good, because in my other lessons I had been basically by myself which made it even duller. When we got into the classroom, the teacher immediately got down to business and asked us to take a name out of the jar, as they would be our lab partner for the rest of the year.

The jar came round to me, and I picked out a name. To my surprise it was the beautiful blonde.

'Olivia Lennox.' I said loudly and looked around the lab to see Olivia smile at me and nod.

'God, she gave you the nod.' Toby said, noticing the interaction.

'It was a pretty good nod.' Andrew agreed.

'What the hell are you guys talking about?' I asked, as I collected my stuff.

'She gave you the nod.' Duke said, he seemed slightly pissed off because he had got Eunice Bates who seemed happy with the arrangement. 'Swap with me.'

'Dude, I can't. I said her name out loud.' I said, shoving him towards Eunice and walking myself towards Olivia with a smile which she returned.

'Hey, nice that you're not bumping into me.' I said jokingly.

'Excuse me, I think you're the one not looking where you were going.' Olivia bantered back with a grin.

'Yeah, yeah.' I said, rolling my eyes dramatically. 'Whatever.'

'Shut up.' Olivia said, nudging my shoulder.

I found the interaction fun between us, and it was great that we could be so friendly with one another so soon. It would be good to make a friend who wasn't part of the team and wasn't a guy. I smiled at her, and she grinned back but then quickly to the front of the class when the teacher began the lesson and everyone had taken their seats.

The lesson was by far my favourite because Olivia and I had such fun. I loved teasing her whilst she laughed at my corny jokes and I wasn't 100% sure but there were times when Olivia would blush; but I wasn't sure. Olivia looked really beautiful when she did, or she just looked flushed because it was quite a hot classroom. Either way she looked lovely.

At the end of the lesson I bid Olivia adieu, as she walked away with a smile with her friends. I walked with Toby and Andrew to get changed for our football practice. Duke was held up by Eunice Bates who was flirting outrageously with him and holding his arm in place so he couldn't move very far without yanking his arm away from her. This just showed how sweet Duke was as he put up with Eunice, without acting like a dick which Justin was very good at and I had no doubt that he would have told her to get lost.

Once we had all changed, the football practice started and the Coach was pushing us really hard. By the end of the practice we were all sweating profusely and exhausted. We all immediately went back to our rooms to relax.

Duke and I were laying on our respective beds in comfortable silence, I wanted to say something to make each more comfortable. Although we were on the same team I still didn't feel very close to the guys.

I texted Paul, telling him this. I immediately got a text back.; trust Paul to have his phone nearby.

I'll come with a plan for the weekend. Xx

What? Xx

Something that will definitely make you a guy's guy. Don't worry. I'll sort it all out.

Alright. See you on Saturday. Love you. Xx

Yeah. Luv ya 2. Xx
