Unnamed

I'm here. It's too late to back out now. I have to go through with the plan. It's hard to believe that I've been planning this out for more than a year. The amount of sweat that's pouring down my back is unbelievable. He deserves what's coming to him.

In about 3-2-1 and I knock on his front door. When he doesn't immediately answer, I turn to leave and I hear the door open. Shit.

"Astrid? What are you doing here? We haven't spoken in a long time..."

"I.. Uh.. Need help with something and was wondering if you could help me..?" Crap! He can probably see right through me and knows I'm lying.

"Wait... YOU need my help?" he laughs "With what? You get perfect grades, you out perform everyone in gym class. You even beat the ever living hell out of me a couple of years ago! How do you need my help?!"

"Uh... math?" He's definitely going to know I'm bluffing now. We have this class together! How could I have been so stupid?! Every single test he sees I got the highest score!

Wait... Why is he laughing..? Is he actually buying this bull story?

"Look... Astrid, if you like me that way, you could just tell me. You don't need to make up a story about needing help with something you're amazing at. Guys usually like it when you're straight forward with them."

He... He thinks I like him... Why would I like a guy like you?! You're a complete and utter moron and add! The only reason why you are passing math is because you look at my work and ask everyone for help! Well... I have to go along with it so he'll let me inside.

I think as a fake blush spreads across my cheeks. "O-oh. Right..." I look down, acting bashful. Something that I have almost perfected. "I didn't know what you would think it I said it directly. Cause, you should know what everyone says about me at school."
