Today was full of surprises.

The first surprise was Jaden coming to my house to pick me up. Okay, I can't really call it a surprise because I texted him my address so that he could pick me up, but because it is me telling the story ---it was a surprise.

I kinda felt uncomfortable when I was waiting for him to come because it felt like we were going out on a date and I needed to dress up for the occasion.

But just to make things clear... I didn't really dress up. Well, it is not like I was naked or something. Of course, I wore clothing but the usual. Just a plain pink dress.

I waited for several minutes, then I finally heard the doorbell ring.

To be honest, I found it really weird when I felt anxious about the fact that he arrived at my house.

Like my hands were literally shaking. So weird.

I immediately opened the door and then right before me was Jaden. He looked like a hot mess.

He wore clothing with so many opposing colors. He basically looked like a clown threw up on him.

I could feel a smile forming on my face, but I immediately controlled myself by biting my tongue. Well, I am no fashion police but I do know that that was simply a disastrous combination of colors. It still brings a smile to my face for just remembering.

Of course, he didn't say anything to me but just gestured towards the car.

The journey was surprisingly long and extremely quiet. I didn't really expect him to say anything to me but I expected some music to be played. Unfortunately, he didn't play any music.

I couldn't bear the silence for too long so I immediately turned up the volume and to my surprise, my favorite song played.

I subconsciously started dancing to the song and singing out loud until I realized that I was seated next to someone that is not my aunt.

Immediately, I went quiet again and let the music keep playing in the background.

I don't know how I always let myself embarrass myself so easily. When I stopped, I saw Jaden laugh silently then he stopped. I am very sure my actions may have been very amusing.

After that, we finally arrived at his house. When I entered his house I could not believe that was his house. It was extremely humongous.

Then another surprise came to me.

His mother.

His mother happens to be Mrs . Parks, my chemistry teacher.

Now things started to make sense. I should have known.

Okay... it's crazy that I never took personal interest to even know his surname, but it would never cross my mind that his name would be Jaden Parks. Well, I am pretty damn not to notice the similarities between them.

So I ended up looking very stupid with my 'shock face' when she greeted me.

Well, it was basically like this. I entered the house, walked for what felt like a mile, and finally arrived at the sitting room. I sat on the sofa; just as Jaden directed me to and then Jaden left to get a notebook and a pen.

Immediately he left, I got greeted by you know who.

Her greeting popped up many questions in my mind, like:

Why would she force me to do a project with her son?

How can working with her son qualify to be a punishment?

Is there something I don't know about that I need to know?

Well, it seemed like I may have given a 'questiony' appearance because immediately she went on to explain herself.

Honestly, her explanation shocked me.

She said that she...

That she...

Wanted me to be good friends with her son and maybe even more.

I was rendered speechless. I was shocked.

I did not know what to say. I stayed silent for a while until I saw Jaden come back.

The moment she realized that he came back, she just winked at me and said "please think about it."

Well, think about what? Befriending the son of a woman that kept shouting at me, a woman that, greatly annoys me. Well, honestly I don't know about that.

I tried my best to ignore what I just heard and continued to mind my business which was to complete the project.

Immediately his mom left, he decided to sit next to me on the sofa. Well, that may seem like an unnecessary detail but it is necessary because he sat really close to me that I could literally feel his hand squashing mine.

I felt extremely uncomfortable that I wanted to move away but again, I didn't really want him to find me weird. So I kept quiet and tried my best to move little by little.

The minute I wanted to look at him to see if he noticed my slight movements, I noticed him typing something on his phone, and on his phone was my name.

Well, apparently, he was typing a message to me. So I quickly looked away and waited for him to finish typing, but sadly my eyes started to stare at something else.

His eyes.

I hate to admit this but that boy has really beautiful eyes.

They are green in color and I have no idea why looking at them would make me so mesmerized.

I think I may have stared for quite a long time because he immediately put his head up to look at me and I quickly shifted my gaze.

I hope he didn't notice that I was staring at him and even if he did; I do not really care.

Surprisingly, I looked at my phone only to see an essay long text from Jaden. I started to read it out loud and I must admit it. That boy is actually smart.

I actually appreciated that I did not do all the work because he apparently did it all.

He suggested the best project we could do and what would be needed. That was actually really nice of him because all I needed to do was nod my head and that's it.

I thanked him for the great idea and just like that; I could be free to go home.

His mom kept insisting that I stay a bit longer, but I just kept rejecting the offer.

She did not give up until I ended up offering to come over to her house the following Saturday.

I really regret saying that but hey ...the deed has already been done.

So from then on, I proceeded to head towards my house of course in his car.

I was glad it was all over but another part of me actually wanted to get to know him better.

I can't believe I am admitting that. So gross of me.
