Chapter 3

Michelle

“Do you live over there?” Maddox nods at a house up the street, his big hands holding the wheel in a death grip.

“Yes, but you don’t have to drive the entire way…” I nervously laugh and face his stern expression.

“Why not?”

“Um… Because my roommates would freak out if they saw you.”

He arches an eyebrow. “Fans of mine?”

“Fans?” What is he even talking about?

“Yeah, I’m pretty known around campus.”

“Y-you are?”

“Yes.”

That’s some arrogance right there.

I swallow. “Well, that’s not the reason.”

“What is it then?”

“Uh…” I blush. “Nevermind.”

He sighs. “Out with it, Michelle.”

“Okay…” I shut my eyes. “I’ve never brought home a guy before, and they… My roommates… They are going to—”

I can’t say it.

My heart is pounding too fast, and I’m embarrassed. Ciara and Zendra have told me I’m hopeless when it comes to guys and bringing Maddox to the front of our door?

Bad idea.

They will ridicule me and ask me if I have a crush on Maddox. I can feel the incoming bullying in my gut already. Zendra will probably say that working on this group project with Maddox is the closest I will ever get to dating a handsome guy.

They are probably right.

Guys aren’t exactly lining up the street to date me.

Ciara and Zendra, however, are both beautiful and popular. They date guys hotter than hell while I’m this short, pimple-faced introvert who is too scared of men to make a movie. Like, I don’t want to die alone, but…

I’m not pretty.

And my roommates make sure to remind me of that every single day.

“I’m coming inside.”

I look up. “What?”

“You heard me.”

Maddox has already parked the car, and before I can intervene, he opens the car door. He takes my bag, and I hastily follow him.

What is he doing?

“Uh…” As Maddox strides toward the porch, I’m jogging to keep up with him. He has very long legs. “You don’t have to come inside… You can just leave now…”

Maddox peers down at me but doesn’t say anything. Not one to listen, he opens the door and enters our hallway.

The door closes.

I hear footsteps.
