Thank you all so much for the favorites & reviews :') I am so sorry I haven't updated lately; I've been busy being sick and writing for my other story (which you guys should also check out!) But I promise I will make it up to you guys somehow! Sorry if this chapter sucks by the way, I am a little bit rusty...


Gunther's POV

Two things I've realized from sitting next to Cece in English.

One: Her middle name was Amanda (it was on her notebook)

Two: She looks cute when she's concentrating. She nibbles on her bottom lip and squints her eyes a little bit.

What? Just because she's one of my victims, doesn't mean she has to be ugly.

I scribbled a note onto a piece of paper and slipped it towards her.

"You look cute when you're concentrating", it wrote.

Her cheeks turned slightly pink, and I was glad I had this affect on her.

I handed her another scribbled note, and I saw her eyes widen a bit as she read it.

"You look cute when you blush, too", it said.

She quickly scribbled down a note and handed it to me.

"Why are you doing this?"

I quickly scrawled down my reply and slipped it back to her.

"I want to make sure you're okay"

Her expression turned into a confused one as she scribbled down another note.

"Why do you care? I thought this was what you wanted."

I could feel my confidence crumble a little bit. Did she really think I was that bad?

I thought back to the first day I met her, when she came tumbling down the stairs.

I was having a bad morning that day so that's why I was so bitter towards her.

"I wanted you to be in misery, but only from me", I wrote.

She gave me a look and quickly replied.

"Wow, you really have a way with words".

I assumed it was a sarcastic comment, but I decided to go with it anyways.

"Why thank you, I try my best", I messily wrote.

Compared to her writing, mines looked like crap.

But I really didn't care because then, I actually saw her giggle a little.

I quickly scribbled another note and passed it to her.

"I saw you earlier..."

I saw her eyes widen a little in fear, but she wrote back,

"What are you talking about? Everyone saw water get dumped on me, you'd have to be blind not to see it"

"Oh," I analyzed in my head, "a girl with pride that doesn't want to show weakness."

I really was curious, so I determined to pester her about it until she told me.

"No, I'm talking about after. The bubbles and the tears.", I wrote back.

I heard her gasp a little, as she quickly scribbled down another note.

"You saw that...?"

"Yep, and if you don't tell me what it was about, a photo of you crying just might be leaked out to the entire school"

Of course I was bluffing though. I had no picture, but I knew she was gullible.

"Fine... bubbles make me happy. And there were no tears; I had something in my eye", she replied.

I wrote back quickly, "Something in your eye? Like what?"

She slowly scrawled something down, and passed it to me.

"Like... my contact lense. Or a twig or something."

"Damn," I smirked to myself, "even in notes she sucks at lying."

I was about to reply but the bell rang. I didn't notice we had spent so much time passing notes.

I guess she hadn't noticed either because she looked up with a startled expression.

She quickly packed her things and left for her next class.

"Wow," I thought, "I guess she really doesn't like me..."

Why did I care? I don't even know.

But I suddenly had an idea. During 6th period, I asked to go to the restroom and then went to the front office to see one my ex's, Tina.

I knew she would be there because she had TA.

I began flirting with her, and as always, it worked. She softened up to me, and then I asked her for a favor.

She did as I asked and got out Cece's folder filled with her information.

I quickly scribbled down her cell phone number and thanked Tina.

Afterschool, I texted a quick message to the number I had gotten.

"Hey this is cece rite?", I wrote. A few minutes later, a text came back to me.

"yes srry who's this?" After a few minutes, I decided not to share with her yet.

"A secret :)", I texted back.

"can i hav a hint? boy or girl?", I recieved a few minutes later.

"boy, & i go 2 ur skool", I replied.

"o... can u describe urself? do i kno u?", she texted.

"well... I am incrdbly hot ;)", I smiled while texting her.

A text came back, "i'll b the judge of that"

"when u find out u will b amazed, but frst u still hav 2 figure out who i am", I texted.

I laughed. I don't know why; playing with her was just so much fun.
