He Saved Me 2

Partner Up

Landon's POV

My alarm went off making me jump up. I was tired and I little bit sore from training but I know throughout the day it'll wear off. I stretched before getting out of bed heading to the bathroom.

After a shower I changed into a red Vlone shirt, black pants and red and black Jordan 12 retro's.
Like always, my mom was downstairs whipping up something good in the kitchen.

"Good morning, Ma. You sleep good?" I asked giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Yeah," she laughed. "I see you did too."

I laughed, "Something like that."

"Here take your medicine." She handed me my pill.

I took my medicine and started making my plate.

"I have to go, and I'm gonna be in late tonight so call me if you need anything, okay?" She picked her work bag up.

"Okay" I gave her a thumbs up.

"Oh, and please let me know if you don't feel right"

"Will do"

At school...

I'm glad I have at least one class with Arely. Since I don't know a lot of people in my class, it feels good to see at least one familiar face.

"Alright, for the next week or two we're going to do a project... you can choose who you work with but once you choose there's no switching up. There is an even amount of people in here so no one should be left out. Go ahead and move to who you want to work with."

As corny as this sounds, I knew I wanted to work with Arely. Yeah, I might be coming on a little strong but I really can't help it... I missed her. So what did I do? I sat my happy ass down right next to her.

"Glad you came to me because it would've sucked if you made me walk over there" she smiled at me.

"You know I'm not like that" I returned the smile.

"Great! Now everyone has a partner. I'm going to let one person from every group choose a decade to research. You have from the 1900's all the way to the 2000's to choose from and I want y'all to be as creative as possible, you must include information like what it was like living during those times, political events, other major events... stuff like that. I'll start with Arely, what decade would you like to research?"

"How about the 1990's?" She said.

"Good, 1990's is out. Who's next?"

The teacher went to every group and they chose different decades.

"Okay, for the first week we will be working on this in class but the second week we got some other stuff to focus on so the rest of your work will be done as homework. It will be due September 12th. As for how I want this to be done, it can be in the form of a research paper or a PowerPoint presentation... those are your only 2 choices. Alright that's all I got for y'all today, the rest of class should be dedicated to this project."

The teacher finally let us begin working on our projects and everyone got busy. Some people didn't like the choices some of their partners made and their faces showed it, it was kind of funny to me.

"So why the 90's?" I asked.

"Wouldn't you want to live in that time? Seems like stuff was so much simpler then."

"I've thought about it sometimes. Sometimes it seems like it would be fun." I admitted.

"Well, I think it would be so much fun. That's why I chose it." She smiled.

Damn she's got a beautiful smile. I thought to myself.

"So I was think we could do a PowerPoint. Put all the informational shit in the beginning and then make it interesting with less political shit towards the end."

"Sounds good to me"

I couldn't help but watch as she focused on the computer. She's so beautiful and I bet she doesn't even know it. This is what I was missing for 2 years, but 2 years treated her right.

"So how's your mom doing?" She asked.

"She's good, she got a promotion so that's why we moved back here... I don't know if I told you that but if I did don't mind it. I do that sometimes."

"That's good, I'm happy for her"

"Me too, she works her ass off," I said. "How's your um..."

"My parents? They're good. Don't worry I've gotten close enough to call them mom and dad. Just call them my parents."

"Well, you look happy and I'm glad you're doing good"

"Thank you" She looked genuinely happy I complimented her.

I couldn't take my eyes off her. It felt wrong to be looking at her constantly but damn... this girl is fine.

I found myself kind of getting turned on and before I knew it I was having to find a way to cover up the fact I was hard.

"You good?" Arely asked me.

"Yeah... just ready for school to be over. I had to train yesterday so I'm pretty tired."

"I get it."

Arely's POV

Once school let out, I quickly made my way to my car. Sitting next to Landon for 2 class periods has me all wet and turned on and shit. I felt like it was so bad someone could probably see it through my pants.

I made my way home, got in the shower and changed. My mom was off early so I went to talk to her for a while.

"Hey, how was school?" She asked.

"It was good"

"That's good" she replied.

I sat in silence trying to figure out how I was going to say this.

"You remember that house I went to when you guys first picked me up from Lubbock?"

She took the time to think back to when they first picked me up while my dad's trial was going on.

"Yeah I do. Why? What about it?" She asked.

"I went there to say goodbye to this guy I liked. I thought I'd never see him again but he goes to my school now" I smiled.

"Oouuu, someone seems happy" she sat up once I got her attention.

"We have this project going on and this week we're working on it in class but since we have other subjects to cover too, the second week we have to do it as homework and I was wondering if we could finish it here?"

"Yeah... sure. You're dad is going to be off all of week next week so yeah I'll let him know"

"Okay, thank you"

"So, what's his name?"

"Huh?" I turned back around.

"His name?"

"Oh, Landon."

"Tell me about him" she smiled.

From that point on I think we talked for 3 hours and the whole time she listened. I would be all giddy for him and she would tell me about how she was all giddy for dad, and it made me more comfortable that she accepted him, unlike Allen...
