I wish

seven

-I need to be more active with this book :/ but its always funny to watch you all become impatient 🙃

He wanted to make me smile? Is this what all this is about? Out of all the people in this world I wouldn't expect Joey to want to make me smile. Did he want to make me smile by putting a bee hive in my locker?

"AH HA" my teacher shouted as I snapped back into reality. "Caught you, you little ratbag!" She seethed as she pointed to joey. She started to run towards the door as joey gulped and the door knob clicked

A smirk slithered across his face. "Locked" he chuckled and held up the keys. "You can't get me now"

He's acting so childish. Same old joey

Little did he know that there's a lock on the inside of this room

Ms dervrone rolled her eyes then unlocked the door from the inside then opened it, causing joey's eyes to widen

"This must be some sort of witchcraft!" Joey scoffed. "this isn't fair!"

she started breathing heavily as her face turned dark red. she then ducked down and took her high heel off and held it above joey. im calling the cops.

"nobody interrupts my ballet session!" she screamed and started running off, chasing after poor joey with her shoe.

i could hear the yells coming from my phone and realised that i never hung up. so being the curious person i am, i decided to listen

"CRAP!" i heard joey scream through the phone. I also heard his running

"no cussing in this house!" i her Ms dervrone 's faded voice

"oh. my bad. CRUD!" joey corrected himself, then kept on running

"what's going on?" a voice faintly spoke and my eyes widen. this cant be good. "Anika dervrone, why are you chasing our guest with your shoe?" my dad asked

"this boy interrupted my teaching, sir" I heard her explain then decided to go check it out in person. I got some explaining to do. yes, it was Joey's fault but I don't want him to get in trouble because of some lame teacher that chases people wish her shoe. all he was doing was making the lesson more entertaining so what's so wrong about that? I also want to get Ms dervrone fired. sorry not sorry.

I gathered my belongings and held the phone against my ear then started heading out of the studio.

"i didn't interrupt, i just wanted to see harper smile" i heard joey say, sounding like a plead. suddenly, i felt my stomach go funny. maybe it was something i ate but im positive I've never felt this feeling before.

"and why did you want to see my daughter smile?" my dad asked

"i hate seeing your daughter sad. a frown doesn't suit her"

my stomach went funny once again as I climbed up the stairs, but this time it was stronger. i felt my cheeks heat up too as an uncontrollable smile appeared on my face.

"this boy stole my phone, sir. and that is not alright-

"anika, i think its best for you to leave" my dad sighed as I reached the top of the stair case where I found the three standing in a wide circle. I ended the call and watched in person instead. I saw Joey's eyes twitch at his phone but his face remained the same. it was like he wanted me to listen the whole time.

he caught me and our eyes locked as the argue between my dad and dance teacher fade in the background. but it was not long after that we heard my dad yell loudly

"you're fired! you really think I don't see how my daughter dreads her dance classes with you?" my dad snapped at Ms dervone who stumbled back

she then nodded slowly and looked at joey, shooting him one last glare. my dad deserves a prize.

once ms dervrone was gone, dad clicked his fingers in front of joeys face, snapping him out of his gaze.

"i want you to stay away from my daughter. i don't care if you think you make her happy. she has a boyfriend who actually does make her happy. got it?" my dad demanded and joey furrowed his eyebrows

"but sir, Harper was forced to be in a relationship. she deserves to love someone who she try my loves. Charles wouldn't do anything like this-

"got it?" my dad ignored him and repeated himself.

joey nodded and my dad fixed his posture then nodded too. "good talk. remember this and my words"

I don't know about joey but im positive I will remember this
