"You're a carrot," I stated.

"You wanna know why?"

"Because there is this fact saying that if someone talks to you but you don't want to talk to that person you can just avoid that person and pretend you're a carrot."

"So basically you're a carrot." I pointed out, giving him a grin.

Tyrone gave me the same blank look in reply. We were currently seated at homeroom, waiting for Mr. John to arrive and I've been doing my best to make Tyrone talk for the last fifteen minutes.

Today is officially the day 1 of project getting to know who the real Tyrone Adler is and breaking down his super high walls or in short, Project GTKWTRTAIABDHSHW.

It's not exactly short but I couldn't come up with anything else so you're stuck with that fellas.

The event that happened yesterday was already forgotten since I somehow gotten back to him and I could even see a faint bruise on his jaw, yikes.

Applauding myself at the moment.

The outfit that he on today had me low-key drooling. White really looks good on him and damn, those forearm veins tickled my funny parts in a good way. He was currently playing with his lip ring, some female students discreetly looking back at him.

I offered him a cheeky grin."How's your soaked shirt by the way? Heard you suffered in it until the last period." I said, not expecting a reply.

"Did you know that you have really cool eyes? It reminds me of this plac-" I was cut off by his voice.

"Would you shut up?" His voiced laced with annoyance.

I gave him a challenging look."Make me."

He gave me his oh-so-famous blank stare in return.

"Kidding carrot," I giggled at the nickname."Lighten up will ya?"

He rolled his eyes before putting some earphones on and playing some music. I let out a grin, plucking one of the earphone in his ear and placing one into mine.

"You listen to coldplay?" I leaned back in surprise, hearing the familiar lyrics of the scientist.

Damn, it reminded me of fifty shades of grey. That was a sad part.

"Duh." He replied, snatching the earphones from me with a glare.

I could feel my patience wavering but chanted 'patience' in my head until I could form a smile on my lips.

"I love listening to Imagine dragons too, they're awesome." I shared, giving him a small smile.

"I don't give a shit." He rudely muttered before turning to face the board.

I let out a quiet sigh, shoulder slumping in my seat. Mr. John came in, the chatter quieting down in a minute.

"Sorry for being late." Mr. John offered us a smile."Are you excited to know what's the project about?" He clasped his hands together, eyes gleaming.

A few students cheered while most of them said just get on with it. I even heard Tyrone huff besides me which I, of course ignored, and let out a shouted a loud yes just to annoy him.

"We're doing the baby project!" He cheered, the classroom not sharing his enthusiasm.

"Kidding!" He continued, letting out a chuckle at our horrified expression.

"Its been a tradition for seniors to go through the baby project but," He held out a finger, anticipation building in the room."I gave it a twist and named it The Puppy Project."

The students erupted in chaos asking questions like 'why it was a puppy instead of a baby' and 'if they heard that right.'

"Yes, you heard it right. The puppy project." He repeated, rolling his blue eyes."Would you prefer waking up in the middle of the night to change their diapers or stay up all night trying to stop their annoying cries? Would anyone want to suffer that?" Giving us a daring look, nobody answered.

We all knew the answer that.

I almost gave Mr. John a hug for caring on our behalf. He clearly doesn't want to experience zombie like students in his class because of a fake baby.

I can't even imagine myself taking care of a real baby heck a fake one. Babies are cute but I'll probably throw it out on my bedroom window once I hear it cry or for waking me up in my precious sleep.

Let's just say I have a slighty bit of problem about my temper.

"Now that you see my point, I'll start explaining." Mr. John gave us a pointed look,"The puppy project is almost the same as the baby project the only difference is the use of a puppy and not a baby." He continued on.

"A real one might I add." He added starting to scan the row of seats for reaction.

A girl on the first row raised her hand.

"Yes Miss Davids?"

"Where are you gonna get twenty eight real puppies?" She asked adjusting her glasses slightly.

"Thank you for that wonderful question Miss Davids." Offering her a dazzling smile that her blushing."Next monday, We're gonna go to a dog pound and you'll have the privilege to choose your own puppies." He explains, somehow feeling excited.

"Are we gonna pay for the puppy?"

Mr. John shook his head, letting out a chuckle."Don't worry, you aren't. The owner of the dog pound is good friend of mine. He is pleased that the puppies will have someone to take good care of them for a while."

"Now," Mr. John stepped forward, his expression going serious that had us holding out breath."The puppies must be taken good care of and treated as if it is your baby, not because it's just some damn puppy. Remember, they have feelings just like us and if anything happens to them please report it to me immediately."

"What happens to the puppies after we've accomplished the project?" The question slipping out of me before I knew it.

"That is a decision you're gonna have to make. You can either adopt it or you can return it back to the dog pound." He smiled.

The students were humming in excitement and even I, was happy at the twist that Mr. John added.

I loved puppies, they're much more better than fake babies where we'd have to change their diaper. At least our money would go to the puppies and not add another layer of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

The bell rang indicating that class was over. In a second Tyrone brushed past me and was half running-jogging out of the door.

I quickly threw my things inside my bag, hastily catching up to Tyrone and muttering a few apologies to the students I bumped into.

"Hey, wait!" I said, pushing my way through the throng of people.

Either Tyrone didn't hear me or choose to ignore me because but I'm guessing it was the latter from the his shoulders tensed.

"Carrot!" I exclaimer, sucessfully catching up next to Tyrone who let out a frustrated groan.

"What do you fucking want?" He angrily asks.

I gave him a cheshire grin."I want us to be friends." I answered honestly, wrapping a hand on his wrist and dragging him towards the cafeteria.

I could feel his whole body tense under my touch but I chose to ignore it. It wasn't until he ripped his wrist out of my grasp that had me gasping in surprise.

"Don't fucking touch me." He hissed, walking off to the opposite direction of the cafeteria.

Being the persistent idiot that I was, I ran after him and did it the second time. I was either superman strong or I just caught him off guard since it made him stumble backwards.

"What the fuck woman." He hissed, glaring at me so hard that made me let him go in an instant.

"Sorry not sorry!" I squeak, raising my hands in surrender.

"You," He took a menacing step towards me."Stay the hell away from me." He demanded, turning around without a second thought.

I sighed, watching his figure get lost in the crowd of students. Turning around to make my way to the cafeteria, Eliki coming up behind me.

"I'm guessing your operation get him to have lunch with you failed?" She asks, lining in front of me.

I grumbled curses in my head. Having doubts if I could really make him open up to me. I mean who wouldn't doubt? He's so distant and cold that I can't even get a sentence out of him nor a word without pissing him off.

Eliki and made our way to our usual spot, the scent of fish fillet somehow appeasing my dejected mood.

"Rumors have been spreading like a wildfire since yesterday ginger." Eliki said, taking a bite from her fillet sandwich.

"Not even surprised." I muttered, chewing my food."Enlighten me please?"

She grinned."Well, there's this rumor saying that you and Ty have been secretely dating and had a huge fallout yesterday."

I made a face."That's stupid." I grimaced, earning a slight laugh from her.

I can't imagine dating Tyrone. He practically hates my whole-being since I kinda ruined his 'bad boy reputation' with that punch of mine. Hahaha. No way.

"There's also this other rumour saying that Tyrone splashed you with the orange juice because you cheated on him and then you punched him because you were mad of the accusations." She continued, her eyes glimmering with mirth.

I let out a small choking sound."Oh my god! Really? That's a absolutely bullsh!t. That would never happen in a million years, the guy hates my existence." I pointed out.

Eliki smirked."So, you're saying if Tyrone didn't hate you then you'd totally date him?" She waggled her brows, earning a scowl.

"That's not what I meant Eli." I flatly said, although the way my cheeks heated up was begging to disagree.

I wasn't blushing. Why would I be blushing? It's not like Tyrone Adler's an insanely hot gorgeous piece of a specimen. No, he's not.

"That's what she said." Eli said, smirking.

"Chica and Jax came by yesterday at work." I told her, swiftly changing the topic.

Eliki's eyes widen."What?! Why didn't you tell me this from the start?!" She asked, some crumbs flying out of her mouth.

"Calm down Eli," I chuckled, pushing her head away from my space."Your crumbs are basically raining on me."

"Oops." She flushed slightly."Sorry ginger! You know how I am when I get excited." Eli sheepishly grinned.

This time, it was my turn to smirk."Trust me. I know." I replied, trying my best not to laugh.

You see, When Eiliki gets excited weird things or accidents happen. I remember when we were at middle school and we're eating ice cream at the play ground, I told her who my crush was and she got so happy and excited that she went to my crush personally and asked on my behalf to take me on a date which of course didn't happen because it turned out my crush was gay.

Heartbreaking, I know.

There was also this one time when she was drunk and I was a little tipsy, We were walking on our way home and she saw a little turtle. She got excited again and started jumping in her high heels and guess what happened? She stepped on the little turtle and crushed it with the 6 inched heel.

Eli cried all the way on our way home.

She frowned as if she know what I was thinking," Hey! It was just an accident! I still mourn till this day." Eli sadly said, referring to the crushed turtle.

"Poor turtle. He probably regretted going out of it's home." I said, laughing slightly.

"How did it even get there?" She asked confusedly.

"That is a question that I don't have an answer." I replied, shrugging.

"Every questions has it's own answers." Eliki stated, her words imprinting in my head.

SURPRISE UPDATE!

What do you think of the chapter? Sorry, It's kinda short but the upcoming chapter will be long.

Poor turtle. Died at an early age because of Eliki's killer heels. Hahahaha.

Question of the day: Would you rather have a carrot that wouldn't stop staring at you or a pumpkin that wouldn't stop talking to you?

Smile because the world deserves to see a gorgeous smile coming from a beautiful person♡
