Episode 2

James POV

Inside the class the atmosphere was quite tense, the result was about to be announced

"Your first exam result is out you can check your marks after class" the teacher said, smiling as he continued the class

James was leaning back in his chair with his usual calm expression. He looked completely relaxed

"So, ready to lose again?" he whispered, as i caught him staring at ne

"Keep dreaming, Maybe this time you'll only be second because you deserve it." i said, raising my eyebrow

After an hour the bell rang and everyone crowded the notice board to check the result

Lily - 100.

James - 99

"First place." The words flashed as the classroom erupted into laughter and Lily smiled proudly as everyone surrounded her with congratulations

"I told you she'd top the exams again."

"She's unbelievable."

"She beat James this time."

At the back of the room, James sat with his arms crossed, expressions undeniable, his eyes were on Lily who was laughing and talking with her friends

"Just One point" she had beaten me again, exactly by one point.

"Only one point again, that must be stinging" Alec said leaning over with a grin on his face but I didn't bother to answer

I was more infuriated by the girl who was laughing without any care in the world, her smile was bright and genuine and it irritated me more than losing

Lily noticed him staring.

"What?" she teased as she walked over to me

"Thinking of asking me how it feels to lose?" she said as i stood up and our faces were only inches apart.

"It was one point."

"So?" she smirked

"I'll take first place back." i said as she folded her arms.

"I'd like to see you try."everyone gathered around.

"Oh no..."

"They're starting again."

"This is better than any show"

"Enjoy first place while you can." i whispered just enough for her to listen

"I always do." she turned her face as she covered her ear and she brushed past him, deliberately bumping my shoulder as i watched her taking her seat beside me

"You know she's doing that on purpose." lucas said putting his hand on my shoulder

"I know."

"And you still fall for it."

"......"

Flashback

"who's first?"

"Lily obviously"

"No way .... Someone beat her perfect score" i pushed through the crowd

At the top of the list was a name i had never seen before

James Albert and just below it was my name Lily Cameron

silence felt around me as my heart beat was echoing painfully loud in my ears

"excuse me" a voice came from behind as i turned and looked at him

There was a tall boy with messy black hair, handsome, sharp hazel eyes and annoying confident smile

"You're blocking my way " he said getting closer

"you mean my first place " i crossed my arms

"i don't remember you owning the name at the top" he said trying to get into my nerves

"you only got lucky this time" i said in an angry tone but he smiled

"i guess we will find out next time" he said stepping closer and that was the beginning of our war against each other and everyone enjoyed every second of it

James pov

I always watched her admire her silently… She is perfect in everything always on time and I found her adorable in everything she does she wanted the first place and I wanted her to notice me when our first midterm ranking went up and students crowded the notice board I got the first place and as for the lily she got the second and the difference was only one point I saw how she tightened her grip on the paper just for that one point, and then she stared at me with anger in her eyes and that's it, that's what I wanted, our eyes met for the first time and neither of us looked away...

Present time

i clear my throat before turning my attention to her and ask her teasingly i watch as she turns to face me as I get closer and whenever my face is close to her she starts blushing, turning her head away like i never noticed

"are you alright? Your cheeks are heating up"

"what ? No m just feeling hot because I'm happy" her voice trembled and i almost laughed at how cute she is

"Are you sure? Your cheeks are red like cherry" i said poking her cheeks

"yes and they're not red also don't touch my cheeks" she argues back, covering her cheeks

"alright fair enough" i chuckle turning my attention back to my work

And then the teacher entered the class and continued with the lecture and classes went as usual after an hour bell ring and it's break time

As soon as the bell ring lily stood up and went to her friends as she talked to them and rushed out of the classroom quickly.....♡
