Unexpected First Love

Chapter 2- Partners

I surprisingly woke up earlier than usual. I wonder why. I got up and headed to the bathroom. Got dressed and usual routine. Then headed out.

Damn I was sleepy no shit. I got out of the car lazily. And then I remember it's only Tuesday, I nearly cried knowing that I had like three more days of school left.

As I entered the hallway I heard my name, "Tamika!" I rolled my eyes knowing that it wasn't any of my friends, probably some guy try to get me to help with there science project or some stuff like that. But when I turned around it was the jerk Michael. I didn't have much of a choice to communicate with him cause of the pair thing. I sometimes despise any sort of group work once my friends weren't with me, cause it ends up as a 'Tami work' since everyone relied on me to do everything.

"Hi. So when can we get together to start the assignments?" He eyes were as hazel as could be and bright. His hair neatly combed. His wore a red T-shirt which pretty much revealed his muscles and black shorts with a red and black Jordans. Of course the son a bitch wore Jordans, I felt like stepping on them just to see his reaction but I held back.

I just looked at him. Bad habit!

"OK......well...." He scratched the back of his head looking all awkward but totally hot. How can a guy such a jerk look soo hot!? "well ...umm you know what after school met me in the parking lot we'll go at my place and start working them if you're not busy?" He placed his hands in his pants pockets.

I nodded.

"So you have plans?" He frowned.

I furiously shook my head.

"So after school then???" His hazel eyes looked me dead square in mines.

I put my head to my side, hugged my bag close to my stomach and have him a weak smile.

"Kool then laters." He reached out to and touched my arm and went on his way.

I exhaled not realizing I was holding my breath. For so long. Why didn't I speak? Like really, bad habit man.

And the bell rang.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally food! I plopped down onto the grass. Lucy came in after, then of course Romeo and Juliet. I wonder where Paul was? Seemed like I spoke too soon.

"Hi guys." He sounded down.

Everyone turned to look at him.

"What's eating you man?" Samson broke the silence. It seemed the two became good friends since yesterday.

"Stupid French class. I gotta get my grades up there for me to stay on the basketball team." He sighed.

"Ohh, but wait, Lucy is a straight A student in French, I mean she could help." I looked at Lucy who only just shrugged. "Right then so you two will just sort that out."

They both smiled and nodded.

"Juliet's awfully quiet today." Lucy said teasingly.

"There's nothing to talk about." She casually said not showing any emotions whatsoever. I was about to say something but I kept my mouth shut. This skill could be a blessing and a curse sometimes.

"Oh Tami I saw you talking to hotshot this morning." Lucy said. Looks like she's on a ball with the I - know everyone's- business.

I gaped at her, the chewing of my food became slower.

Gina sat up with her light brown eyes wide open.

"Ohhhh I forgot to mention am paired up with him for a few assignments for school." I tried my thinking face.
