Adelaide's pov

This was my third  day at this club meeting and I actually really like it, everyone seemed so understanding....well almost everyone . Why was he even here what was he going through? He never spoke.

"I want two of you to partner up and create a creative writing essay...I want it to be really good and really heartfelt from both ends" Allison suggested smiling at us all.

"Can we pick our partners?" A guy asked who was holding onto what I assumed was his girlfriend's hand.

"Of course, everyone pick your partners and work hard on this essay, the best one will be given a prize" Allison chirped, after saying that it was as if everyone scattered around the room reaching for a friend to grab. I hated group work because I always found myself alone nobody picked me.

Seeing everyone had a partner already my eyes shifted towards Allison , "I'm fine with working alone it's ok— okay so that leaves Myles and Adelaide to partner up" she cut me off saying my eyes darted towards him, I was almost sure he'd have a partner .

"No I truly don't mind working alone" I stated once again

"Nonsense Adelaide , this task requires a partner...it won't be for long" she patted my shoulder as I seen Myles coming to sit next to me.

Rolling my eyes I scooted over in my seat as he sat in the empty one.

"You guys have a few days until you will present, have fun" she clapped as she stood up seeing that the session was over .

Standing up I collected all my things about to head out the door, "wait up beetle" I heard someone call running behind me.

"Beetle?!" I asked furrowing my face

"Yea beetle cuz you drive that bright ass beet— I know what you mean...don't call me that" cutting him off I said.

"Why not it's cute?" he smirked at me following me as I began walking.

"Well 1. I do not want to be referred to as beetle which is a bug and 2. I definitely didn't give you the okay to give me pet names" I explained to him.

"My names Adelaide"

"I know your name pumpkin" he walked backwards ahead of me .

"Actually dude stop with the names— you're so stuck up" he shook his head.

"Fuck you" jerking my head back I said to him, Myles looked at me with a stale expression though.

"All we need to do is be eachothers partners then you can leave me alone" walking to my car I told him.

"Fine" he muttered.

"Here's my number, text me when you have ideas" I gave him a sticky note with my number on it after writing it down.

Getting into my car I saw him still standing there, what a gimmick.

LAYING, down on my bed I sat watching my favorite movie 10 things I hate about you , I loved this movie so much I could rewatch and rewatch it.

*ding*

Looking down at my baby pink phone it lit up with an unknown number that texted from it.

*739 mountview dr is my address, be here in 30*

Seeing the text that I could only assume was sent by Myles "why's he so demanding" I muttered , clicking on the address I looked to see how long the destination was from my house only 13 minutes.

I don't know why but I was kind of nervous, I was going over his house yes for a project but it still was kind of nerve racking I mean I'm going over a boys house at the end of the day.

"What should I wear—addy it's not a big deal just put on anything" sighing I stood up going to my closet, an outfit immediately caught my eye.

A off the shoulder sweatshirt that I cut on my own and it had a bow on it and some sweatpants I recently bought from Brandy Melville .

My hair was already in a claw clip so there was no need to change it.

After getting dressed I grabbed my keys for Bowie I took my MacBook, phone and headphones with me as I walked down the steps.

"Where are you going this late?" My mom asked stepping out of the kitchen, looking at my watch it was 7:30.

"My friend's house...for a project" I told her the truth well sorta the truth, Myles was nowhere close to being my friend. Furrowing her eyebrows she looked at me.

"But I'm about to make dinner— could you just put it up I'll eat it when I get bac— do you have lipgloss on?!" My mom smiled at my cutting me off as she gasped.

"Yea so?" I could feel my cheeks growing red.

"Are you going to see a boy" she smirked her hand finding her hip.

"Yea but it's not like that" I TRUTHFULLY told her , her eyes wandered before she rolled them.

"Okay girl...just be back before 12" she hummed walked back into the kitchen. Sighing I opened the front door finally leaving out of my house

Pulling up to Myles house , let's just say it was everything I expected it to be just based off of him...he totally lived in a mansion his entire complex had huge houses.

"He has five fucking cars in his drive way...no way" I awed getting out of the car, my home was to say the least just average...it wasn't anything I complained about or didn't like just a lot of people had better than me.

Walking to his front door I was very scared, maybe because again it was going to a boys house and it just made me really shy .Knocking I bit my bottom lip waiting for the door to open.

Hearing it unlock the door swung open revealing a lady...this definitely wasn't Myles was I at the wrong house.

"Who are you?" The lady asked, she had ginger hair freckles all over her smooth face and dark red lipstick.

"I...I uhm I'm Adelaide I think I'm at the wrong house I'm looking for someone named Myles I'm sorry" I apologized about to walk away

"No you're at the right house sweetheart, Myles is my son" she smiled at me calling for me to come back.

Hearing footsteps from the stairs I could see a taller figure, hovering over his mother Myles came to the door.

"I told you be here in 30....you came in 20" he glared at me, I don't know why but the look he gave me made me want to melt.

"It's only a 10 minute difference" I suckered up the courage to say.

"Ok so I'm gonna make you stand outside for those 10 minutes until it reachers 30 then you can come in" he spoke, jerking my head back I looked at him like he was a crazy asshole.

"I'll just leave— no honey you won't...Myles is gonna stop being a asshole and let you in" his mother stepped aside ushering me to come in the house secretly slapping his arm.

"Come on" he rolled his eyes saying to me , following him we were headed upstairs.....AM I GOING INTO A BOYS ROOM.

"Ok so what do you want to write about Addison" he spoke getting my name wrong.

"It's Adelaide you ass" I whispered the last part.

"Ok addy I'm gonna be honest with you" he stood at his door as I sat on the chair he had in his room.

"I'm a football player, I don't do this type of stuff...honestly I'm only in that shitty club because my moms making me go—so how
about you write the essay or wtv and just put my name on it" he suggested

"Or actually I'll put my name on it" fixing his words he said, all I could do was stare at him like he had seven heads.

"My friends are coming over also so don't come downstairs until I tell you to...I'm sure you know why" he spoke getting ready to open his door leaving out not even giving me a breath to say anything.

Looking around at his room I seen all the trophies and football posters all over his room, his sheets being navy blue and black not one sort of plushy or anything in this miserable ass room .

"What the fuck am I doing here" I came back to my senses as I stood up from the chair going to open his door.

Walking out of his room I gently shut the door not wanting to make noise, hearing chatter downstairs I had to make sure no one saw me I didn't want to be encountered by anyone.

Hurrying down the steps I spotted the door knowing it was my chance to make my escape.

"Uhm who are you?" I heard a girls voice, stopping in my tracks like I dear in headlights k slowly turned to her.

"Mylessss there's a lady in your house" the blonde smirked giggling as I heard footsteps approaching

Fuck me. NOT LITERALLY

"What did I tell you" I heard Myles stern voice say to me

"I'm not your kid or your dog" I stood up straight saying to him.

"Go back upstairs" he told me stepping up to me , he towered over me and we were so close I don't know why but my breath hiked I could smell his cologne and could feel his chest rise .

"No" I told him— "who is this anyways Myles" the blonde walked up towards us.

"I just downed four twisted teas" a guy slurred coming from around the kitchen rushing to tell the other two.

Spotting me he sat up straight and began smirking, "who's this" he gave me a smirk, he was also cute and I knew who he was he was Myles right hand man.

"You single beautifu—back off kodi" Myles interfered. Grabbing onto my arm Myles pulled me to the steps to follow him upstairs.

His grip wasn't tight it didn't hurt or anything it just felt...like he didn't wanna let me go.

"Myles let me go" I snatched from him as we got to his room.

"I told you to do the e— I shouldn't have to be the only one doing it and I damn sure don't wanna sit here stuck in your room while you get drunk with your friends" I ranted to him.

"I know you don't like me and I definitely don't like you but you don't gotta be a ass right now" I furiously told him, it felt like I was gonna cry and I didn't understand why...well actually I did I hated when the cooler kids always treated me like I wasn't anything.

"Just....just wait" he sighed before walking out of his room, he rolling my eyes at the fact that he didn't even listen to anything I said I just sat down defeated.

Why did I let people just treat me anyway? Wiping my eyes I sat on his bed.

"They're gone" Myles spoke coming back into his room.

"What?" I asked wiping my eyes.

"My friends....I made them leave, and we work on the project now" he said shutting his door grabbing a paper from off of his desk.

"Uh...yea....we can" I sniffled coming back to my senses, why did he make them leave and not me?
