"Hey!" Melody chirps, sitting next to me. 

"Hey.." I say, scrolling through the internet. 

"I'd never thought I'd see the day, James Wells In a library" Melody nods, setting her backpack down. 

"Mhm" I hum. 

She looks at my screen "Dyslexia?" 

"Um...My brother is showing early signs of it, so I want to do some research on it" I explain, looking over at her. 

"Oh, Well it's good you guys got him tested for it at a early age, it'll be easier for him to learn how to cope with it" She explains, Turning towards her computer and signing in. 

"Anyone in your family have dyslexia?" I ask.

"Um yeah, My dad actually had it" She shrugs. 

"Oh" I nod, not knowing what to say. 

My eyes drift over to the front of the library to see Whitney walking in, throwing a smile at the librarian. 

"Shit" I mumble, looking over at Melody. 

I quickly log off, and get up. 

"See you later Melody" I say, before walking away. 

Melody is a great friend, however, As mean as this sounds, Whitney can't see me with her. 

Whitney is the girl I like, so if she sees me talking with Melody...I don't know, she might think I like Melody. 

As I walk passed Whitney she grabs my arm and spins me around "Hey!" 

"Hey Whit" I smile. 

"So I was actually meaning to ask you something" She says, twirling a section of hair around her finger.

"Oh you were?" I ask. 

"Yes" She steps a little bit closer. 

"What is the question" I smirk. 

She mirrors my smirk "I was wondering if the football team was still doing the dance number with us, homecoming is in two weeks and we will need to start practices on Monday" 

My face drops "I-I'm pretty sure we are, yeah" 

"Amazing!" She squeals "See you guys during homeroom next Monday!" 

She turns on her heels, whipping her ponytail in my face and walks away. 

I sigh, clenching my jaw.

I hear a slight giggle and look in the direction I heard it from. 

And of course it belonged to Melody. 

She giggles again and mouths "Rejected" While crossing her arms to make a x. 

I roll my eyes, Flipping her off, making her put her hand over her heart, acting offended. 

I shake my head walking out of the library. 

This girl.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hand Melody her drink and sit down "A small pink lemonade from the lemonade stand"

She smiles "Thank you, I only had to tell you 10 times"  

"Hey" I take a sip of my lemonade "Last week it was 15, I'm making progress" 

She laughs and takes a sip of her drink, shaking her head. 

"You are impossible" She scoffs. 

"Sure, I'm the impossible one" I nod my head. 

We sit there in conferrable silence as I pull out my homework from the day. 

I didn't have football practice so I asked Melody if we could hang out in the choir room. 

I watch as Melody makes her way to the piano, sitting down, listening as she starts singing "New" By Ben Platt, humming along and doing a few math problems. 

When she's done I pick up her guitar and strum it a few times. 

"No. Put the guitar down" She laughs, getting up. 

"But I want to play it" I whine, strumming it more. 

She reaches out, trying to grab it but I swiftly move it out of her reach. 

"Please give it back" She states. 

"Mmmm no" I state, reaching it further. 

She leans over and grabs it, both of us looking at the guitar. 

I turn to smile at her and realize we are face to face. 

Inches apart. 

She looks at me and her face goes red, she falls back into a chair, crossing her arms. 

My face heats up, but I quickly snap out of it, sticking my tongue out at her. 

"Seriously James, give me it, it was my moms" She frowns. 

I look at it and sigh, handing it over to Melody. 

I don't know what her relationship was like with her parents, or what happened, but I know it's a sensitive topic for her. 

She takes the guitar and smiles "Thank you" She sings, getting it up and setting it on the stand.

"Knock knock!"  I hear a voice say. 

I turn around to see Whitney. 

"Whitney....h-hey" I say. 

"Hi!" She smiles, looking over at Melody "Who's this?" 

"I'm Melody" Melody smiles. 

"Oh right! Your that new girl who sits at the table next to ours by herself and doesn't talk" Whitney nods. 

Melody presses her lips together and sits down. 

"Um, What are you doing here Whit?" I ask. 

"Was wondering where you were" Whitney shrugs "Are you two friends?" 

She looks between Melody and I. 

I bite my lip looking at the ground. 

Melody looks over at me and sighs "I'm tutoring him"

I look over at her and mouth "Thank you" 

She just nods as Whitney sits next to me. 

"Why didn't you tell me?" Whitney pouts "You shouldn't keep secrets from your Girlfriend"

I furrow my eyebrows "Girlfriend?" 

"Yeah, Remember?" Whitney shoots back.

"So I'm your Boyfriend?" I ask. 

"Yes. We made it official in the library this morning" Whitney says, grabbing my hand and smiling at Melody "He's very forgetful" 

Melody nods "Yeah. Very" 

Whitney takes Melodys pink lemonade "Oh my gosh! Mel! We have the same order!" Whitney squeals. 

"Oh my gosh! That is so cool!" Melody scrunches up her nose, making her voice a little more high pitched. 

"Well, I have to go! See you guys later!" Whitney says, kissing my cheek and walking out. 

Melody smiles and waves until Whitney is gone then her face drops "Yeah...I hate her"

I look at the ground "I'll be right back" 

I get up and run after Whitney "Whit wait up!" 

Whitney stops and turns around "Yes?" 

"So...We are dating now?" I ask. 

"Didn't I make it clear?" She asks. 

"It was just so out of the blu-" 

"James...We are giving the school what they want, They've wanted #Wames  to happen for like...ever" Whitney states. 

"O-kay?" I say, more like a question. 

"Now if you will excuse me, me and Addie are going homecoming dress shopping, bye!" She smiles, turning on her heels and walking away. 

I smile and run my hand through my hair and falling back a bit before walking. 

I get back to the choir room to see my bag. zipped up with a note on it and the choir doors closed. 

I pick up the note and read it. 

Totally forgot I had to get home early, sorry

~Melody :)

Grabbing my backpack and phone I crumple the note and head towards the door, throwing the note away. 

So as of right now Whitney, the hottest girl in school has decided I'm her boyfriend and Melody the supposed "Weird new kid" but in reality is the insanely talented, sarcastic, and kind girl, who is my friend but to everyone else, is my tutor. 

So I have a girlfriend, I'm on the football team, I have a bunch of friends, and a 4.0 GPA. 

It's all coming up James!
