A helping hand from Mr. Popular

Why can't I stop thinking of him?! I need to focus on my lesson!
  
"Miss. Raine, do you know the answer?" My maths teacher asked with an intent look on her face.

God, no! Why is it that when I'm daydreaming, I get asked questions which I don't even know the answer too.

I quickly looked down  at my book and pretended to flick through the pages to try and find the answer.

"I highly doubt the answers in your book as you've only just got here today." The teacher commented.

Oh dear god! Why me! I'm such an idiot!

"I suggest you pay attention in my class Miss. Raine." The teacher said expectantly. I replied with just a simple nod of my head.

I felt a nudge to my right and looked over to make eye contact with the one and only, Jackson.

"Don't let her bother you." Jackson whispered to me. And just like my teacher, I ended up nodding my head as a response.

"How about we ditch next period and just hang out?" Jackson questioned and must have seen my expression because the next thing he said was, "you seem like you need a break and I will willingly ditch next lesson for you."

Another growl. Jeez, they seriously need to sort out those wolf problem!

My eyes made contact with Jackson again and I gave him a smirk, "I would happily ditch next lesson to hang out with you."

Jackson gave me his signature smirk before looking back at the teacher.

A loud bang sounded around the room when mr. Tall and handsome waltzed into the room. Authority and power radiating off of his huge and mouthwatering body.

"Finally decided to attend my class, mr. Hale?" The teacher questioned.

Derek didn't look at the teacher and instead walked towards the back of the class (where me and Jackson were!). Then a boy and girl followed suit with their arms locked together.

Well, I guess the lover birds just entered the room!

I watched as Derek sat next to Jackson and started to whisper something to him which I couldn't here.

"Hey there. You must be new around here." The girl said whilst sitting next to me. The boy who's arm was interlocked with hers sat right in front of her.

I slowly nodded my head as a response.

"I used to be in your position once. I know how stressful moving can be and meeting new people." The girl stopped and then spoke again, "god! How rude of me. I'm Allison and this devilish guy sitting in front of me is my fiancé Scott."

Engaged! These two school kids are engaged! What the actual hell!

"Aren't you two a bit young to get engaged?" I asked curiously.

Allison let out a small chuckle, "that's what everyone thinks but we're just too in love and it was our decision, which I have never regretted." Allison said with a sigh whilst looking at Scott lovingly.

Whatever. I guess it is their decision and I'm not going to be that type of person who judges them. 

"Well congrats you two. You both deserve happiness." I said kindly before looking back at the teacher.

"Thank you Athena." Allison said from beside me, which made me pay attention to her again.

"You know my name?" I asked slightly concerned.

Allison let out another small giggle, "of course I do. Everyone's talking about the new girl, especially now that she's been seen hanging out with mr. Popular over there." She said whilst pointing to Jackson.

Jackson's popular. I've never seen him with anyone other than me!

"He's got high standards, so when the new girl rocks up and catches his attention. That gets everyone's attention." Allison continues.

I looked at Jackson who was still whispering with Derek.

"Well, why would he hang out with me?" I asked whilst looking back at Allison.

"I don't know. That's what everyone currently wants to know." She took a pause whilst observing me, "what makes the new girl so special?" She asked.

I just shrugged, "there's nothing special about me. I'm just me and that's the same as everyone."

"That's not true. Otherwise Jackson wouldn't be hanging out with you." Allison continued.

Now this seems like an interrogation and I'm not happy about this.

I quickly nudged Jackson and caught his attention quickly. I gave him a look that screamed 'help!' And I guess he must of caught it because the next thing I know is that he stands up and holds out his hand to grasp mine.

I quickly grab his hand and stand up also.

"Mr. Whittemore and miss. Raine, Sit back down this instant?!" My maths teacher demanded.

Jackson quickly grabbed our stuff and put his spare hand on my lower back before moving us out of the room.

"This is not how you impress a teacher, Miss. Raine!" The teacher shouted as we made our way down one of the corridors.

Me and Jackson stopped moving when we made it over to our cars. He quickly walked over to my car and held up his hands, "keys." He said.

I quickly chucked him my keys and we both hopped into my car.

"Where do you live?" Jackson asked before we started to move.

I told him where I lived and as soon as the place left my lips, he sped away.

~ At my house ~

We made it to my house quite easily and we both got out of the car. Jackson locked the car before throwing me my keys, which I caught easily.

I went up to my house and opened the grand doors and led Jackson inside with me.

"Welcome to my home!" I said happily whilst closing the door behind us.

Jackson looked around before walking into the living room and plopping himself down on my sofa.

I walked in not that long after him and sat besides me.

"Derek had a lot to say today and I'm thankful that you wanted to leave as much as I did." Jackson said whilst staring at the turned off tv.

I sighed, "they were creepy. Something about those people just seems off." I pointed out.

Jackson gave out a small laugh before saying 'Agreed'.

I'm glad I have someone who understands how i feel.

"Jackson?" I asked after a few moments.

Jackson's head turned to look at my concentrated expression, "Yes?" He asked.

"Why do you hang out with me and not some other jocks or cheerleaders?" I asked.

Jackson sighed, "they told you my place amongst the school, didn't they?" He questioned.

I nodded my head and continued, "it just doesn't make sense why mr. Popular would hang out with me."

Jackson looked at me in the eyes, "your different. Your beautiful and kind. In general, everything about you intrigues me."

I knew I was blushing. Everything that comes out of this boys mouth just makes me blush more and more!
