A/N: I know it’s a very short part and not that good but I’ll make it up in the next parts. I promise.
The next day, you were in a really good mood. Better than any normal day. Your parents just assumed that it was because you were nearly done with school for this semester and your best friend thought it was because you were having a small party with Alex, Jessica, Clay, and Sheri at his place on Friday. But none of them got it right.
Montgomery de la Cruz.
He was the reason you were so joyful when you were usually grumpy in the morning. You knew it the moment you opened your eyes long before your alarm went off, a wide smile creeping on your lips as soon as you remembered what happened the day before. Who would have thought that Montgomery de la Cruz would be the one to make you smile that way and make your heart beat faster than ever? No one. Not even you. You hated him just two weeks ago and now, you were waiting for the moment you would be together again. ‘He is really scoring.’ You thought when you remembered what Tony told you on the Winter Formal night.
The day seemed longer than usual. You didn’t pay attention to any of your morning classes, sighing and drawing on your notebook until the final bell of the morning rang and you went to meet up with the others in the cafeteria. Your eyes searched for Montgomery but he was nowhere to be seen. Your smile disappeared. Weird considering the fact that Bryce and the other jocks were there, making as much noise as they could. Jessica came to your table, holding Justin’s hand. She gave you a smile and you returned it. He kissed her and went to join the others as she sat in front of you. “You seem so different.” She stated as she sat in front of you.
“What makes you say so?” You asked as you took a bite of your sandwich, trying not to show your excitement when you saw Montgomery enter the cafeteria and your eyes met. You blushed instantly and looked down before Jessica noticed anything.
She shrugged. “I don’t know, you just look happier.” You looked up at her and frowned. You were doing your best so she would drop it but she didn’t. “Jeff, did you two spend the evening together or something?”
“Nope but my sweetheart is in a pretty good mood.” He smiled and kissed your cheek. You giggled. “I don’t know what’s gotten into her but I like it.” He added before he went back to chatting with Clay. Tony was the silent one about your crazy mood of the day. He just observed you and didn’t miss a glimpse of your behavior especially when the jock showed up. You didn’t get the opportunity to tell him any of what happened the day before. And Montgomery was acting weird ever since he got there. When you caught him looking at you, he quickly turned his gaze away. No smile. Nothing. When the first bell rang, you made your way to peer communication class with Clay and Jessica. Hell. You just didn’t like that class. You sat by Zach’s side and continued drawing in your notebook.
“You ok?”
“Hm-hm” You hummed. You didn’t want to start chatting with him. You weren’t in the mood. The teacher called you when you were about to leave. “Yes, madam?”
“I thought you may want to read those, (y/n).” She handed you a small stack of folded colorful papers. “You’ve never checked your bag since the beginning of the semester. Why?”
“I didn’t know people would sneak notes for me in it.” You responded as you quickly shoved them in your bag. As you were walking to join Jeff by the fields, you went through the notes. Some came from Hannah, you could tell by her beautiful handwriting. Some from Ryan, poems that you always enjoyed reading when he showed you some. Even the great Zach Dempsey who never got anything in his bag, put one in yours to thank you for being his bio partner. But one note caught your attention. You didn’t quite recognize the writing but when you read it, you knew who it was from. 'I can’t wait to see you tomorrow - M.’ You read it all over again until you bumped into someone. “I am so sorry, I wasn’t paying attention to…” You stopped when you saw Montgomery smiling at you.
“Something caught your attention?” He said with a boyish grin.
You blushed and couldn’t fight a big smile on your lips. “Sounds like I have a secret admirer.” You bit your lower lip when he chuckled and scratched the back of his neck. Damn it. “I can’t wait to see him too.” You added before you walked away toward Jeff who questioned you with a simple look. “He wanted to know when we’re meeting tomorrow for his tutoring.” And with this, you made your way to the bleachers holding the tiny piece of paper in your hand. You read it again as if you wanted to make sure that it was real. Your eyes drifted to the boys when you heard them cheer for Montgomery.
“Damn it Montgomery you’re on fire today!” Bryce said, well more shouted to him when they took a break. You hoped that no one would make a link between your good mood and his amazing game of the day. “If you keep it up that way, next week we’re winning the game for sure!”
“What happened yesterday?”
You shrugged smiling. “We kissed… again?” Tony chuckled as he sat down next to you. You told him everything and he just listened while keeping an eye on the field, making sure no one was coming your way.
“So you’ll see each other tomorrow?”
“After tutoring.”
“You’re happy?”
You nodded when you met Montgomery’s eyes on the field. “A lot more than I have ever been.”
