CHELSEA'S POV

I was surprised to hear that someone had gotten higher marks than me. When Mr. Smith congratulated Marcus. I was astonished and I stared at him in surprise.

He was a bad boy, good looking and smart that was definitely a dangerous combination.

My mini me cheered happily.

"We found our perfect match M.A.R.C.U.S!"

she yelled and threw up pink pom-poms in the air excitedly and did a split with a big grin plastered on her face.

I closed my eyes and shut her off.

She's had enough excitement for one day once Mr. Smith left and I turned to Marcus, our eyes locked and I gave him a small smile.

"Congratulations you deserve it" I said sincerely and he gave me a stern nod and fixed his gaze on his results.

"Thanks Chelsea."

Mr. Smith wrote some notes on the board and I took out my notebook and began scribbling my handwriting in it.&nbs
