1 P R O L O G U E

I stared at the guy who just walked in the canteen. He got those blue intimidating eyes and a perfectly brushed brown hair that everbody loves. Instead, he was called as the definition of perfect, also known as Fhiz Hemington.

In fact, he's actually one door away from my house, or I suppose is the guy living next door. It wasn't really a distraction before I felt differently towards him. I just really felt the feelings that are not supposed to be there.

I like him and everybody, mostly girls, likes him too. Well, I like him not as the same old handsome, popular and talented guy but the real Alfhize Hemington.

"He's starting to melt, Jamie." I felt a small tap on my shoulder. I looked at Nicko, slowly pulling myself from my reverie.

"What?" I innocently asked.

"Nevermind. You'll deny it anyway." He said before munching his sandwich.

I looked at my plate then at his. "Are you on a diet?"

He looked at me like he was bored. "No. You're just a heavy eater." My mouth went wide-open from what he said.

"At least it's healthy." Eating a spoonful of food, I rolled my eyes at him while he just laughed at me.

"Do you want me to take you home?" After classes, Nicko asked me, pointing to his motorcycle.

"Maybe tomorrow?" I smiled at him as he patted my head before wearing his helmet and saying it was okay.

"Go home straight, okay?" He told me and left without hearing my reply.

When he already left, I was thinking that he was so thoughtful and of course caring. Sometimes I usually admire him for saying the things I need to do rather than the words of wisdom my mother gives me in the morning everytime I allmost got late for my first class.

Anyway, good thing, Nicko isn't like the guy who lives next door that often gives dumb advice to me. And that guy is sadly, Fhiz, who gives the most dumbest words of wisdom when I ask him what should I do to problems I had at that time.

We're honestly close when we're together and I just don't get it why we can't be who we are at school. Like greeting him when we see each other in the hallway and asking him for a ride when the truth is, approximately more than a hundred of girls got into his car and who knows what they were doing or were he took them to.

And right now I feel so stupid, hoping that he would drive me home at this moment. Because why would Fhiz Hemington, the popular guy at school would drive Jamie Taylor, the unknown girl at the campus, home? It would be a total hot issue for sure and who would even date me? No. One.

"Jamie?" I suddenly looked behind hearing that familiar voice I was waiting for.

My eyes went wide upon seeing him. "Fhiz!–" I happily greeted but a girl, wearing a very short denim skirt and cropped top, seeing her cleavage, appeared.

"Who's she, babe?" She asks, like she was disgusted with me. Do I even look disgusting?

I looked at Fhiz, now staring at me as if he saw a stranger. "Nope, I don't know." He said before placing his arm on the girl's waist, guiding her to his car.

And that people is what you call a jerk. I suddenly felt my eyes warming up and the next thing I knew is that I hailed a cab to get home, since Fhiz was busy with his girl.

That's why I sometimes ask myself, am I too ugly or boring to be with? Fhiz, on the other hand, likes girls wearing that type of clothes, making sure their soul was seen.

When I got home, I felt my phone vibrated in my pocket.

From: Fhiz

Sorry for what happened earlier. Rebecca just suddenly appeared behind me.

I sighed and I felt that same old feeling whenever he was with another girl, and I didn't like it.

To: Fhiz

No. It's okay.

Throwing my phone on the bed, I covered my face with a pillow and locked my room before crying softly but then I heard a knock on my door which I knew was my mom.

I slowly wiped my tears off, making sure mom wouldn't notice it and opened the door.

"Did Fhiz drove you home?" She asked.

I ran out of words as realization hit me. Fhiz won't ever call out my name if mom wasn't asking something for him to do for me.

"Why?" I asked even if I already knew the answer.

"I actually asked him to. So... did he?"

I sighed for the second time and said yes.

Even though I lied to her, I had no other choice because she and dad will get disapppointed with Fhiz, which I think may happen.

Perks when you fell inlove with the guy you shouldn't fall for.
