I woke up sometime in the night and my headache had reduced drastically considering that my dad woke me up and made me take the medication. But after I took them I fell straight back to sleep.

Ace went home as he wasn't here when I woke up but it's late so obviously he's not going to stay.

Thinking about Ace he's been really nice to me this past week and I'm liking the fact he's not being a dick. But that's not going to change his nickname.

Every time I see him it's like all this Minnie butterflies swarm around me and I feel jittery.

The way his messy hair always looks so easily perfect and his smile lights up when he sees me. He thinks I don't notice him looking at me but I do. I do because I'm always looking at him too.

I check the time to see it's 5:30am and I just decide to get up for school as there really isn't any point in going back to sleep. I did my usual shower and hygiene routine and then picked an outfit to wear. I shoved on a pink jumper top and some shorts. I digged through my closet and found my pink converse and paired them with the look.

After taking another tablet for my head I headed downstairs to be greeted by my wonderful family.

"Hi good morning" I beam to let everyone know I'm here.

"Morning hun want anything to eat?" mum signed to me offering a bowl of freshly cut strawberries.

I nod a thank you and take them. After I've eaten them I let Cohen know I've finished and we head of to school.

I met up with Raven on the way and we walked to my locker together. At my locker the other girls were already waiting for me.

All with worried looks plastered on their faces.

"Hey girlie you okay?" Charlotte asked placing her hand on my shoulder in a comforting matter.

"Ye guys I'm alright now, thank you" I gave them all a promising smile and opened my locker to grab my things.

As I slammed it shut I nearly jumped 10ft in the air when I noticed Ace standing right next to me.

"Hey" was all he said.

"Hi" I instantly muttered back and then it got awkward.

"Um so how are you feeling?" He then questioned.

God this is so awkward right now.

"Better, thank you for you know...helping me"

He just smiled and gave me a cute nod.

He then took my bag of my shoulder and placed it on his, ready to walk to class.

We walked to first period together which we had together and took a seat near the back.

After I was settled I felt someone take the right seat to me whilst Ace occupied my left.

I turned to look who it was and when I saw him I noticed he looked familiar.

He must of noticed me looking because he stopped what he was doing and met my gaze.

Ah. The chocolate shop boy.

"Hey Stella I don't know if you remember me but I'm Carter, the boy who works at Choco Fantasy" he reminded me.

"Of course I remember Carter, how are you doing?" I asked in a friendly gesture.

"I'm okay. You?" I watched as the words left his lips.

"I'm good thanks" after I said that I turned back to the front but before I could concentrate something caught my eye.

Ace was deathly gripping the desk with his hands and his jaw was clenched harshly.

I took my hand and placed it on his which resulted in his eyes snapping to mine.

"Hey are you okay Ace?" Genuinely worried I asked.

"Fine" was all he said and then moved his eyes back to the front.

For the rest of class we just focused on what was going on in the front of the class on the board.

Ace didn't try to communicate with me after that.

By the time lunch rolled around I hadn't really seen Ace since this morning. What was going on with him?

I was now sat at our usual table with my besties drinking a chocolate milkshake I bought before.

Then the three guys came over and took their usual places, Ace next to me on my left and Ethan in the middle of Charlotte and Mila. Elliot was next to Raven.

"Hey star, how's life?" Ethan beamed and said as I looked at him.

"Great" i politely said back.

"Ugh my mum just bought a flipping pig" Ethan then said which made me laugh but was also so confused.

I looked around the table and everyone was laughing except Ace.

Who hadn't looked at me since I got here

Noticing something was annoying him I grabbed his ring covered hand and lead him outside to speak with him.

I didn't give him a chance to protest.

"What's wrong with you? You haven't spoke to me since this morning" I immediately questioned, getting to the point

"Nothing" he shrugged

"Well its obviously something" I crossed my hands along my chest, making my point clear I'm not going anywhere until I get answers.

"It's nothing, go speak to your boyfriend about it" his jaw clenched again when I read the words from his mouth.

"What?" I laughed. This is ridiculous.

"You know the guy you was speaking to this morning" Ace further interrogated.

"Oh you mean Carter" by now I was trying to hold my laugh in.

Ace is jealous.

"Ye him" his cold eyes looked away from mine as if he was thinking of something.

"Ye were friends we met a couple weeks ago, no need to get jealous" I teased him.

Then his blue eyes moved back to mine.

"I'm not jealous"

"Yes you are, and it's okay" it's safe to say that my laughter was escaping my lips.

"Ugh whatever Deafy I'm going"he pushed past me but then turned around.

"I'll see you later for chocolate brownies" then gave me a big baby smile before pretending to be mad again.

"Bye shitface. Oh come to mine around 4 we need to go shopping for ingredients" he then nodded and walked away.

Weirdo, a cute weirdo
