His smile (story #2)/Shim Jake/

Don't be late

Six exams in a week, studying every night until 1 in the morning and then waking up early to take the bus at 7.

Half not ready, didn't have time for breakfast but I don't care, I just hope my bus driver's not going to be late like he always is.

I need to be at school at 8 or I won't be able to get in.

They lock the doors...

What type of school does that?

It's my senior year so I can't let myself be late once this week or I'm not getting my diploma.

Like my mom always tells me "Plus facile à dire qu'à faire."

It's French, in English it means "Easier said than done."

I'm always late.

Since my first year after moving from my tiny French city in Canada to a completely different place like Australia. I never been on time, but I like it here, in the two years who passed since I came here, I made a lot of friends. My mom was really surprised. She thought I wouldn't be able to even make one. Don't get me wrong, my mom isn't mean or anything. I was surprised as well when I told her too. You could describe me as someone who isn't good with socializing. I'm a big introvert and I used to suffer from social anxiety, so the shock was mutual when I told her I made wonderful friends after the first couple weeks at my new school.

Talking about school, I really need to be on time today, Sky's waiting for me! Sky's my best friend. He is tall, as brow hair, brown eyes, a pretty smile and the most dog like personality I ever seen, but that's what I love about him. That's what actually made me fall in love with him.

Of all people I could have fall for it needed to be him.

I never told anyone, and I don't plan to. It's not that I don't trust them, I just don't want our group of friends to be all awkward back again. From the story I heard, Kayla used to have a crush on Justin, they dated for a while but he ended up cheating on her at a party. It was hard for the group, but Alex's cousin named Chris arrived after transferring school at the same time as me. We became friends since we were both the "new kids", and he introduced me to everyone. That's how I made so many friends in a such a small amount of time. Couldn't had done it by myself. It was a big rollercoaster, but it ended with a great turn, and that's how the group we have today was made. That's also why I don't want to tell anyone, not when we all came this far. I can't.

I don't plan to tell sky either.

So, I keep my feelings hidden, I don't dislike being single. Always been single, never felt ashamed.

Okay, «never" is a big word since a certain someone like to make fun of me and uses it to get on my nerves.

Shim Jake knows pretty well that I don't care but he's good at what he does. He can make even something so unbothersome a thing to get me mad.

He's really good at this, making me mad. Always saying stuff that can make me lose my temper. One time, he even stole my phone. What is he? In kindergarten? Your turning 18 Jake grow up! Just thinking about it make smoke come out of my ears and I feel like breaking something.

Back to the point, I have two exams today, one math and one physics, Jake's favorite subject... Makes me hate it even more, I really don't get why he likes it so much, it's at the same time boring and unnecessary!

He even offered me tutoring session one time. How sweet right?

NO.

He said, and I stipulate "I can help you if you want to pass one exam this year." And smirked.

He dared to smirk at me knowing damn well I'm way better than him in math.

If someone need tutoring, it's you Jake! So today it's him VS me, I need to prove him that I don't need is fucking help but first I need to be there on time.

One challenge at the time, right?
