The promise

Part 7

I am not looking forward to political science. It had been a week since the party. I think Mason got the hint that I really was not looking to enter into his world. He made it to political science everyday, but refrain from flirting with me or staring and I miss it. In media studies he just talks to his friends. I start to think everything he said on Saturday was a lie.

When I walk in I notice that all of the hockey boys dropped the course and so did many of their groupie and this makes me happy. The class is now made up of people who have genuine interest in poli science as it is a university prep course and we are not into the school social scene.

I was so lost in my appreciation of what the universe has handed me that I didn't notice that the bell for class ringed 10 mintue ago and Mason was not here yet. My mind wander and I think he must have dropped the course with his hockey friends. He probably pulled a Bonnie on me. I knew not to believe anything he said. He probably thought I was going to be easy and realize that's not it. He wanted something easy. I stood my grounds and now he is gone.

"Mason, you are late."
Did he just say Mason? I look up and Mason is standing in front of the teacher. He is wearing a white long sleeve shirt with a few button at the top, dark blue Jean jacket, dark wash jeans and an original timberland which is basically high heels for men and he looks incredibly hot. He looks like he just popped out of a guess magazine.

The teacher Mr. Wilson starts to scold him about being late agian and He hands him a note. I don't know what the note said, but Mr. Wilson smiles and turn off the light.

Mason looks at me immediately and catches my eyes wandering his body and I stop. He reach over to our desk, sits down leans over to my ear and wishper "Hi Mira, you look beautiful " Some of the only words he has said to me since Saturday.

My inside quiver at this and I can't help, but shiver at how close he is to me.

"You look good yourself." I whisper back to him and before he could reply the teacher starts speaking and we fall into silence.

"You are getting your first project today. You will be working with the person beside you and it is due on Monday. Your project is to pick a country and explain their political system. This has to be done well. To a university level. No two group can have the same country. I want a presentation and a diagram with brief explanations........."

He contunies on a thorough explanation with examples of what he expects.

"Come Monday ready to Give your presentation. You have 20 minutes till the end of class to brain storm."

The class bursts into converstaion and so do we.

"I think we should do China, it is a communist society with a very interesting political power structure plus nobody will pick it." He said, going straight to the point.

"That's actually a great choice. Do you want to let the teacher know, so we are set!" He walks over to the teacher desk and is back in 1mintue.

"We are set!" He said excitedly taking his seat.

"I thought you left." I said firmly, but avoiding eye contact with him.

"I just went over to the teacher." He said laughing a little.

"I mean earlier when class started. I thought you switch out with your hockey friends. I thought you already forgot what you said on Saturday."

"Mira" He said shifting my head to face him "I would never do that to you. I love political science plus there is this beautiful girl that I would love nothing more than to get to know better!"

"You are great with your words, too bad your actions are lacking. I said looking at him and end up blushing instead of being firm.

"I mean them too. I am glad the guys aren't in here any longer. They are mostly empty headed and would not contribute well to the class discussion. They all ended up here by mistake anyways. Some computer error which you didn't hear from me is a hack job." He explained, ignoring the other half of my comment.
