“What did you just say?” Jason asked, raising an
eyebrow.
“You heard me. I said no.” I let it
come out of my mouth. I wasn’t going to be his doll
or puppet anymore. I have a mind of my own.
“Haha, you’re so funny. Nice joke. Now be my
partner.” Jason said
“No” I said. Now everyone was looking at us, watching
us fight.
“Why not?”
“Well because you’re dumb. You only want me
to be your partner so you could get
good grades because I’m smart. Everyone knows that.”
I yelled at him. I looked around
and saw people nodding in agreement.
“Well then who else could you be with” Jason said,
raising his eyebrow again.
“Anyone I want”
“Oh really? Like who”
“You must be even dumber than I thought, I just said it.
Anyone” I repeated. I looked
around and all the boys were nodding again.
“Well then go ahead, pick someone. Who are you gonna be
with?” Jason asked. I looked
around pretending I need to pick. But I didn’t, I already
knew who.
“Ryan” I said. Ryan looked up from his desk, his eyes
green sparkling with disbelief. Oh,
how I loved his eyes. And his hair, too. It was light brown
and messy. No gel or anything,
his was naturally cute.
Jason laughed. “Ryan? That little wiener? You’ve got
to be kidding me!”
“No, I’m not kidding” I said and walked up to
Ryan. “Ryan, will you be my partner?”
Ryan just nodded. He knew that I wouldn’t make him do all
the work, since everyone
herd it from the fight that just happened. I sat back down in my
seat and the crowd
disappeared, everyone looking for a partner. I saw Jason team up
with the girl who was
sitting next to him. She was one of my ‘friends’.
Well, she was in the popular group, for all
I know. I think her name was Tiffany.
“Has everyone found a partner?” Ms Leahy asked. I
turned my head back to the
front and nodded with everyone else.
“Good” she said, and then explained the project we
were going to do. I think it was
something to do with Land or Energy. I don’t know, I
wasn’t listening.
Lunch. My favourite time of the day, not. I hated every
part of the day. I usually tried to
avoid people at lunch, you know, cause I don’t eat and I
don’t want anyone knowing
that. This time I was a little late getting out of class, and I
saw that there were no
empty tables. I looked for the one with the least people. I
certainly wasn’t going to sit
at the popular table. I didn’t really like it, but Jason
used to always make me sit there.
This time I couldn’t find him, so I was free to sit
anywhere I wanted. I saw a table with
only one person on it. That would work. I walked towards it and
as I got closer, I saw
who that person was. It was Ryan. I didn’t want to sit
there anymore but I had no choice,
all the other tables were either almost or completely full. I
sighed and sat down in front
of Ryan.
“Hi” I said, almost in a whisper.
“Hey” Ryan said as he looked up and smiled. His smile
made me get butterflies
and my legs started to wobble. How could a girl not fall or him
as easy as I did?
There was an awkward silence for a minute. I really didn’t
want to eat even though I
was starving. I managed one bite so that Ryan wouldn’t
think I’m weird. I decided to
end the silence.
“What was our project meant to be about? Sorry I
wasn’t listening” I said with the last
part almost in a whisper.
“We have to answer some questions about our land and then
build a model. Ms
Leahy gave me a copy of the questions.” Ryan said. I had to
look away when I heard
his voice. It was too amazing.
“Oh okay. Do you wanna meet up today after school to start
working on it?” I asked.
“Sounds cool. Your place?”
“Sure” I said as I wrote my address on a slip of
paper and handed it to him.
“See you at 7” Ryan said and headed off as the bell
rang. Was this a study date?
