I read the same line again, this time out loud. I had hoped it would help me understand what they meant with this ridiculously long sentence, but it didn't. The only thing it did was making me even more frustrated, I had never known that to be possible. The desire to just smash my book on the ground was so big, that I had to place my hands under my upper legs to prevent me from doing it. I moved my head closer to my book, as if there were whispers coming out of the layers of paper that explained the lines for me and I needed to come closer to hear them clearly. No whispers. Why do I need to know this? What was the use in knowing this? I turned to the next page to see if the chapter ended there. A sigh escaped my mouth when I saw it didn't end there yet. And when I turned that page, I saw it didn't end on the others either. Reluctantly I kept on reading, ignored the lines I couldn't understand and tried to see the bigger picture of it. With a hunched back and my head only an inch away from the paper, I read the lines slowly and out loud and hoped for a miracle that I would actually remember all of this tomorrow. I was so focussed that even the sound of the door opening didn't get me out of my trance, neither did the sound of footsteps nearing me. A sudden touch on my shoulder made me turn quickly. Jim was looking at me with a sweet smile on his face. 'What are you doing?' He asked. 'I'm studying.' I replied grumpily and looked at my book again. 'Are you? Well, kissing your book will not guarantee you a good grade.' I rolled my eyes though he couldn't see that: my hair looked like a curtain right now. 'Don't roll your eyes.' He said. I looked up. 'How do you know I d-?' He cut me off and drew a chair to sit down next to me. 'Because I know you.' He pulled some of my hair behind my ear and pushed my chin up so I had some space between me and my book. 'That's better.' I glanced at him for a moment and forced myself to study again. I had to know this all by tomorrow morning.

But how can I study when I kept on feeling Jim's eyes fixed on me, watching me as I mumbled the lines? I couldn't ignore the feeling of being watched but refused to look at him, knowing I wouldn't look at my book ever again after I met his gorgeous eyes. A single lock of hair slipped past my ear and fell in my face again. Jim pushed it away tenderly, instantly, letting me know he was indeed looking at me. I don't quite know if that annoyed me. I shouldn't even think of it, no, I should ponder over my test. But suddenly I felt fingertips on my cheek that made my head move and made me look at the one owning them. Just before I could even make the softest sound, I felt Jim's lips gently pressing against mine. 'Jim, I said after I placed my hands on his chest and pushed him away. 'not now. I need to know this before the day ends and...' my eyes searched for the clock, '...it's already past ten o'clock.' I complained. 'Then you still have two hours left, I'm sure you can spend one of them with me.' He tried but I looked at my textbook as a reply. More reluctantly than ever before, I tried to understand the words but they just didn't make sense to me at all. And I couldn't think straight since my thoughts kept on traveling to the very person beside me who was looking at me again. Another lock of hair slipped away from my ear, but I was fast enough to remove it myself. 'You really don't want me here, do you?' Jim asked. 'Just, not now.' I mumbled. 'You know I can feel it when you lie to me...' Jim said. I sighed in annoyance. Well, good for you, I thought. '...and you're lying.' He added as I felt his lips pressing in my neck. I ignored it (at least I tried to) and turned the page to read the words out loud, my voice rising quickly until I almost screamed them in order to keep my focus. Jim laughed and stopped briefly. I looked up and accidently met those gorgeous eyes I had feared to see and immediately regretted my decision to look away from my schoolbook. 'What is it?' he asked as I kept staring at him. I didn't answer him in words but I answered his kiss, leaving my text unread and ignored it when I heard it fall to the ground. He always gets what he wants.
