Jade Montgomery didn't think the consequences of one little mistake would be so drastic. After being forced to pack up all of her things and move across the...

"Stop distracting me," I mumble under my breath as I roll my eyes. I'm supposed to be annoyed, yet I can't help biting back a smile.
"Distracting you?" Liam questions from his seat across the table, glancing up at me from his notebook. He furrows his eyebrows in confusion, though his eyes are gleaming and he smirks knowingly. "I'm not even doing anything."
I lightly kick his leg under the table, which Liam keeps finding excuses to lean against mine. "You know what you're doing."
Liam sets his pen down on the table, giving me his undivided attention. "Well, maybe you should stop distracting me."
I narrow my eyes at him as I set my own pen down. We're both doing our homework in my kitchen. Or, at least, we're supposed to be.
"What am I doing?" I humor Liam, shooting him a pointed glance as I anticipate his answer.
"You're just sitting there," he says with a shrug. I wait for him to continue, but he doesn't.
"That's exactly my point," I mutter, raising my eyebrows.
Liam smoothly adds, "That's all you have to do to be distracting."
I bite down on my lip as a blush creeps into my cheeks, shaking my head. I have to admit that the boy has a way with words.
"Do your homework," I say after a moment, pointing down at his notebook.
"You do your homework," Liam counters, crossing his arms over his chest as he leans back in his chair.
"I will when you do yours," I argue.
"Well, I could sit here all day."
"Then sit there all day. While you do your homework."
Liam rolls his dark eyes, parting his lips to respond just as he is cut off by Kendall's shrill voice coming from the living room.
"Why don't you both shut up and do your homework so I can do mine?" my sister screeches as she storms into kitchen, glaring at me and Liam.
"Sorry, Ken—can I call you Ken?" Liam teases her, causing me to hardly resist a grin.
"No," Kendall deadpans. "You cannot call me Ken."
"Okay, Ken. We'll tone it down." Liam shoots my sister a smile to let her know he's playing with her, and I stifle a laugh with my hand.
Kendall continues to glare at Liam, arms crossed over her chest. "Don't call me Ken."
"Seriously," I chime in, shooting Liam a warning glance. "Don't call her Ken."
Liam nods, his smile showing off his dimples. "Sorry. Noted."
Kendall releases an aggravated huff as she mutters, "No wonder you guys are dating. You're both so annoying."
Liam and I share a glance as Kendall stomps upstairs, bursting into laughter the second we hear her door shut. As our gazes lock, I think we come to the same conclusion.
