Lanie's POV

I blushed as Jason's arm tightened around my waist.

"Lanie, you know how I feel about you." He said softly and I nodded quickly. He grinned and leaned his face down towards mine. I closed my eyes, I knew he was going to kiss me. I put my arms around his neck and-

"Ms. Williams, I would highly appreciate it if you'd pay attention to the lesson." I snapped my eyes open and saw Mr. Martin glaring at me. 'Crap.' I thought and sat up straight, letting my loose position of my head on my arms fade away.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Martin." I said nonchalantly. 'Go jump in a lake.' I scolded my mind and hid a smile.

"Thank you." He said coldly and I watched as he popped another mint into his mouth.

"I hope he chokes." I muttered and a soft laugh sounded beside me. I turned with a smile to my best friend, Maddie. She giggled and straightened her glasses. My friend Maddie, the nerd. Sometimes just looking at her made me want to do algebra problems. Maybe it was the way her frizzy brown hair and her large brown rimmed glasses made her look like a bookish mouse. Or maybe it was those neon green and yellow braces, that were the result of a dare made by yours truly. I don't know.

"Ms. Newton, do you find my lesson funny?" Mr. Martin's monotonous voice made me grit my teeth. I itched to say something sharp and funny, sometimes I really hated my big mouth.

"No, sir, Mr. Martin, sir." Maddie said quickly. I rolled my eyes, she was such a suck up. His mouth twitched as he turned back to the chalk board. When I made sure his back was to us, I looked toward Maddie and made a barfing motion. This spurred a silent laugh out of my desk partner. I suddenly sobered.

Jason smiled at me, his intensely blue eyes made my knees all watery and I couldn't help but smile stupidly. He chuckled and looked back at Mr. Martin, who at the moment was rambling about exponents which was so not as important as Jason Crowley. I stared for a second longer, wishing I could run my fingers through that gorgeous blonde hair of his. I turned back to Maddie, who looked at me and shook her head disapprovingly.
