Reese

Lucas sat close to me throughout maths class. We just sat silently through the class, barely acknowledging each other's presence.

When Lucas mentioned what planning on studying architecture, I was happy that he decided to do what he wanted to do. Although Mr. and Mrs. Tate preferred him studying business due to take over the family business, they would still be happy for him.

His parents lived in New York due to it being that was where their headquarters was located. But they still made one-week free time for their children every month.

My parents, on the other hand, never did care what I was going to do at the university.

Soon, the final bell rang, I started to make my way to the parking lot.

Dumping my bag into the driver seat, I heard a loud, angry voice yelling.

Who was that? The voice was oh so familiar. I slammed my car door and turned to the direction of the shouting.

My eyes widened into saucers as I saw Noelle yelling at Aa-i mean lover boy to be exact. She wasn't just angry, she was fuming and for a moment, I could swear I saw smoke coming out of her ears.

Remind me not to get her this angry in the future. Loverboy looked like he'd rather be anywhere but there. He was trying to pacify her but she was having none of it.

I guess she got tired of him already. After our little rendezvous last week, Aaron started to hover around Noelle endlessly when she gave him little attention. He smiled smugly at me every now and then that he was with her.

And I always smirked, it didn't take a genius to know that he was behaving like we were fighting for his favorite toy, not a person.

I stood some meters away and I could make out their conversation, "-the hell is wrong with you? This isn't right. This clinging isn't right and it has to stop. Am not your girlfriend and am definitely not your property so stop...." She gestured with her hands "whatever this is called," she said, now her face was red not the blushing kind of red but the one that could make you run for miles to escape her wrath. She was like fire, hot and dangerous and was also sexy.

I leaned on one car to watch the drama playing out in front of me. Few students had gathered to and one dude started videoing when I glared daggers at him, he put the phone down and quickly turned in the other direction flushed with embarrassment.

"Am so sorr-" he was trying to say and she cut him off telling him to go away, dismissing him.

Noelle turned away from him and started to make her way to the parking lot

'That's my girl.' Quickly, I came back to my senses. As much I wanted it to be true, it couldn't happen...yet. She already thought of me as a jerk for kissing her.

I watched her as she roamed around the parking lot looking distracted. She was looking for something or someone. As she got closer to me, I couldn't help the smile that appeared on my face. Despite my shitty day and best friend troubles, she lifted my mood without even knowing.

I thought about talking to her I could get tongue-tied and nervous and say something stupid so I decided not to. I couldn't help laugh at myself. I never had problems talking to girls before.

But my mouth and body had a mind of their own because as she walked past me, I blurted out, "what a great show, why don't you talk to Juan like that?"

Hearing me, she came to a halt. She looked upwards for a moment before turning into me with a fake smile in tow.

"Reese, what a wonderful surprise. What are you doing here?" She asked in an obviously fake cheery voice.

She wanted him to know she definitely wasn't happy to see me. Her very obvious fake cherry voice and her eyes told me how she wanted to avoid me forever, "I go to school here remember. You clearly have a knack for forgetting things."

Her eyes glazed with anger and confusion. She didn't understand what I was saying. It's was like she knew my statement had another meaning but had no idea what it was.

Her eyes blazed with fury, "why are you talking to me?" She asked still looking around the parking lot.

I shrugged as I pushed myself from the car, "just felt like it and besides what I said needed to be said to you one day." What I said was actually a fact. If she talked to Juan the same way she just talked to Loverboy then she won't be builled.

She stared at me for a minute and walked over to the car to the car I had leaned on minutes ago and leaned on it, "it's not your business the way I decide to live my life."

I tried to resist the urge not to move closer to her but I did anyway. Her eyes widen as she saw me move towards her.

"What...are...you doing?" She asked, her voice shaking.

I touch her hair tenderly, "What does it look like?"

Suddenly everything in the parking lot disappeared. I couldn't see or hear no one, the only sounds I could hear were hearts beating rapidly. Although, it was purpose to be a joke to get her worked up up and at the end it got me too.

She shivered slightly, she was now looking at everywhere except from my face.

I touched her face gently. Noelle's eyes stopped on my lips and she whispered, "am not going to let you kiss me."

I smirked, adoring her soft face and I moved my hand towards her lips, "who said anything about kissing...and from the looks of it, it looks like you want to kiss me."

Immediately, she pushed me away. Her face was pink and flushed. Of course I wanted to kiss her but with her response last time and the anger she had in her right now. She would not hesitate to hit me in the groin.

"You still don't remember do you?"

"Is it about Friday night? No I don't remember it. If you do know what happened please tell me?" She said, her eyes looking up at me pleadingly.

I had thought about telling her a lot of times if you ask me. But the probability of her hating me and laughing in my face was possible. So I decided to take my chance.

"You were drunk at the bar of course, dancing like crazy on a table. You were just about to fall when I..." I was saying and stopped midway when I saw Aria and Sapphire running towards us with speed.

"Noelle we found her in the gym, and it's really bad," Aria said, neither of them acknowledging my presence. Noelle turned to the two girls worriedly.

She grabbed both their hands and pulled them towards the school "Let's go," she said and they all sprinted off.

I called behind them, "Noelle! Don't you want to hear the rest of the story?" I yelled as they entered the building not sparing me a glance.

I was about to move back to my car to get my bag to go to the library when I heard a low buzzing coming from where Noelle just stood. I moved closer to find a purple phone staring back at me.

It was Noelle's phone. I remembered when I saw her clutching it tightly when she came into the parking lot.

I noted that she was at the gym with her friends, fixing whatever it is they were doing. I started to make my way to my car when the phone dinged and a message appeared on the screen.

And it read, "thank you so much Matchmaker, it was a birthday surprise after all."

"Matchmaker," I said as I stared at the message on the screen. I unlocked the phone, thankful that there was no password. Feeling guilty and curious at the same time, I went through her apps.

My gaze landed on the matchmaking app. I clicked it open and there is was! All access to the Matchmaker! My heart was beating louding, I had recently gotten the app and hers was more professional than the normal version like the Matchmaker his/herself.

Then, it clicked. She was the fu*king Matchmaker. After making the fastest trip to my car, I ran back in school to the gym to be precise.

I had my questions and she was going answer them.
