"No."

"Dope."

"Not that one."

"Nah."

"Aww! Aren't you cute? but still no." I said, dropping my grip on the paw of a cute labrador puppy.

"Noo."

"Hmm. Almost but no."

"For heavens sake Zoe! Just choose a damn puppy!" Tyrone exclaims besides me.

We were currently at the dog pound choosing the puppy for our project. Half of the students have already chosen theirs but we're still choosing the perfect puppy, well it's more like me still choosing since Tyrone wanted the first puppy he saw in sight.

He didn't even bother choosing.

I was still scanning through the small cages when I finally saw it. It's big brown eyes were looking at me intently with it's cute snout and small frame.

"Oh my gosh! This is it!" I said, pointing to it excitedly.

Ansel, the owner of the dog pound, took the key and opened the cage proceeding to carry the pug puppy away from it and handing it to me.

I let out an excited squeal,"Oh my! Look Tyrone! It looks exactly like you!" I said before pointing to the blank face of the puppy.

Tyrone gave me an irritated look,"Zoe, It took as two fucking hours to find a puppy and out of all puppies, you chose that ugly thing." He harshly said, glaring at it.

"Hey! Don't talk to grumpy like that!" I said before hugging the puppy to my chest."There there. I ask forgiveness on behalf of your daddy. He's just grumpy as usual."

"Grumpy?" He asked, disbelief laced in his voice.

"It's name is grumpy. Are you deaf or something?" I asked, both of us heading to the small desk to file some information and buy grumpy its dog food and milk.

Tyrone just ignored me and procedeed to head to the bus, leaving grumpy and me behind. I let out a huff as I struggle to write on the small papers while holding grumpy.

"Let me carry him while you answer that." I looked up to the voice and saw Ansel standing there.

I offered him a thankful smile and handed him grumpy, turning my attention back to the paper.

"You and your boyfriend fight like an old married couple." Ansel stated looking at Tyrone's figure that is entering the bus.

I let out a choking sound."Oh god! We aren't a couple." I snorted."As if I'd date that carrot." I finished, shaking my head.

The wrinkles in Ansel's eyes became evident as his smile grew bigger at my last statement,"Ahh. You're still on that stage."

I made a confused face,"What stage?" I asked, giving him a sideway glance.

"Let me tell you a short story," I gave him a confused nod,"This guy likes sports but the girl prefer reading. She loved the rain. He doesn't. He likes literature. She likes science. He was popular. She was unknown. They met because of a project, Fell inlove together, got married and now has two children." He finished.

I awkwardly shuffled my foot to another."Uh. . What are you trying to say then?" I asked him.

Ansel let out a small chuckle." It means that sometimes the perfect person for you is the least person you expected it to be."

I was about to reply when a voice beat me to it.

"Hey Bush fire! Stop flirting with Ansel and get on the damn bus!" Tyrone's voice shouted in a far, It was faint but it was still clear to understand.

I turned red in embarassment,"Oh god, I'm so sorry. Tyrone's a fucking ass." Taking grumpy out of his arms.

Ansel let out a laugh."Don't sweat it. Go on. I could see his eyes shooting daggers at you through the bus window." He glanced at bus.

"Bye Ansel! It was nice meeting you." I gave him a grin before making my way to the bus.

"Took your time." Tyrone said sarcastically, taking my seat next to him.

"Of course! A lady takes her time amd carries herself with grace and elegance," I bit back, rolling my eyes.

He looked at me blankly,"You lost me at lady," He said uninterested, a brow arched.

I gaped, not because of his insult but damn, that's one really hot arched eyebrow. Why can't my brows be like that? I thought out as I pressed a hand unconsciously on my tamed brows.

"What the hell are you doing?" He asked, giving me a weird look.

I mentally smacked myself which I did physically, earning myself another blank look from him.

I laughed flatly,"Ha ha, uh, there's a lice on my brows!" I covered up, pointing at my brows.

Wait. What?

He paused for a minute,"Noo! I was joking! I don't have any lice on my brows! See! See!" I let out as I moved my face closer to his showing him my brows.

I looked up, my eyes connecting with his and mentally gasped when I noticed how close I was to his face. Oh pineapples, I can see cute little freckles dotting on his face and wow, he has gorgeous eyes. I never knew brown could be so fasinating, it's official, brown is my favorite color.

I was suddenly pushed away, my body almost falling out the seat if it weren't for the arm rest.

"What the hell," I snapped, throwing a glare of my own."I almost fell!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, It's not my fault that you were checking me out with your creepy face." He said sarcastically.

I felt myself redden."I was not and who even wants to check you out? You little impatient fugly boy!" I stated, trying to make a good comeback.

He looked at me in amusement, the soft bark making us turn down to the puppy in my lap. The little dog stared at me as if asking 'what's wrong with being impatient?'

"I'm not blind, I can see when a girl checks me out," He said flatly, moving his gaze back to mine.

At the sound of his voice, Grumpy wagged his tail and let out a bark.

"Oh look! Grumpy is on your side. I wonder why." I rubbed my imaginary beard, snapping my fingers."Oh yeah! It's because you're both grumpy!" I pointed out earning myself a blank stare from Tyrone.

Grumpy started barking at me and procedeed to jump out of my arms and into Tyrone, who thankfully, caught him.

"I can't believe he's choosing your side!" I whined, letting out a small pout.

Tyrone scowl."It's not my fault he can't stand annoying people." He replied, looking at grumpy briefly.

"Good thing I'm not one then." I replied giving him a cheeky smile.

His scowl deepened,"Whatever." He said before ignoring me, again.

I frowned,"You're ignoring me." I stated crossing my arms on my chest.

I got no reply from him since he turned his attention to the window. Grumpy was happily sleeping on his lap making me scowl.

After a few minutes, we were greeted by the familiar structure of our school. Some students hooted in anticipation to get off the bus but Mr. John just hushed them.

As the bus came to a sudden halt, students wasted no time in getting off the bus, happily chatting with their partners and their new found puppies.

The school looked deserted since it was now one thirty which means class had started thirty minutes ago.

I let out a small huff, Tyrone and Grumpy walking ahead of me towards the cafeteria where Mr. John would be doing a count of us.

"Stupid immature bad boy." I said, looking at the old tiles.

It seems I said it louder than I shouldn't have since Tyrone stopped in his track, turning to me.

"What did you say?" Tyrone tipped his chin towards me, as if daring me to say it again.

I obviously wasn't one to back down."I said stupid immature bad boy." I repeated, this time loud and clear.

"Well, you're an annoying bitch." He snapped, making his way towards an empty table.

I followed suit after him, taking a seat with a scowl."I'm not annoying or a bitch." I retort.

Tyrone scoffed, placing Grumpy on the table."Whatever, just go away and fuck yourself."

My mouth fell open at his words. My patience evaporating and basically becoming non-existent.

"Seriously? What the hell crawled up your ass and died? I seriously think that your mouth is starting to become an arsehole from so much shit you say," I angrily said, glaring holes at the side of his head.

"And I seriously think you need to keep your motherfucking opinions to yourself." He sneered, the tension between us growing.

Rage.

It was like a lava, pulsing hot and fiery red. I'm fighting fire but who freaking cares? I never back down just because he's a guy.

"I can't believe you're the sherrif son's." I scoffed, his whole body freezing at my words."Last time I checked, your dad has manners and actually cares for others." I bit back.

The minute the words slipped out of my mouth, regret and guilt came up to me.

Tyrone stood up, kicking the chair back that everyone went quiet in an instant. I didn't even care that they were staring, my eyes focused on the guy who looked at me with pure rage.

"You don't know a shit about me Zoe." Tyrone snapped, his face turning red."So keep your fucking opinions to yourself."

He didn't even give me a chance to answer before he scooped Grumpy from the table and walked out with him.

"What?" I snapped, glaring at the students who immediately turned their attention back to Mr. John who seemed bewildered.

I slumped down in my seat, rubbing a hand on my face and feeling like a complete asshole from the words the left my mouth.

Zero steps forward and gazillion steps backwards.

Always Remember!

Personality is what makes us different from one another. Its what makes us unique and one of a kind so if someone doesn't like you for being you then they could just go and love theirselves.

Also, I can't imagine a world where we all have the same personality.

Question of the day: Would you rather have a sleepwalking dog or a cat who makes noise in its sleep?

Also, the cute picture of a puppy above is grumpy😍 Isn't he adorablee?
