When i woke up the morning after Shane and Is talk I couldnt help but smile, it felt good to tell someone about what happened to me and have them belive it, to have them tell me I did nothing wrong and it wasnt my fault. Shane listensd and I felt myself doing something I hadnt in a long time, and that was trust someone.
About 20 minutes before school started Shane texted me that he was outside my house. My mom had already left so I didnt have to worry about her seeing the sight of Shanes black Mustang gt. I opened the passenger side door of the car and started fidiling with the lever to acsess the back seat of the car assuming Colin would be riding in the front.
"Colin isnt coming." Shane told ma as i then sat in the passenger seat. "Oh why not?" I asked as we startex to drive to school. "His mom drove him." He said bluntly and dryly. "Oh." I didnt question it after that. As we approached the school Shane turned to me.
"You want breakfast?" He asked, i looked at the vlock the final bell rang in 15 minutes. "Do we have time for that?" I asked as Shane decided for us by turning in to the chickfila across from school.
"Yeah we'll make it, easy." He told me as we got in the long line of cars in the drive through. It took a minute but finally we reached the ordering speaker. "What do you want?" He asked me. "Its okay i dont have any money." I told him. He smiled. "Dont worry about it ill pay." He offerred. I didnt know how to respond. "Chicken minis i guess." I told him and then he ordered 2 meals one for each of us. I looked at the time as we left the drive thru. 7 minutes till final bell.
Shane passed me a bag with food. "Are you sure we'll make it to class?" I asked again as he pulled into the school parking lot. "Yes, I promise. Put your food in your backpack though, mrs.Andrews dosent allow food." I laughed a bit. "Yeah I know youve gotten yelled at like 5 times already this year." Shane whipped into his parking spot abd we hurried out of the car. "We better make it to class I cannot afford to be tardy." I told him sternly.
"Its fine, we can run." He said and we both started running to class. Barely naking it in the door as the final bell rang. "Ms.Wesbrook , Mr.Anderson have a seat im glad you could make it." Mrs.Andrews scoldee us as we took our seats laughing.
"Okay i will be passing back the results of your first unit assesment, some of you did less than favorable, if you would like to be assigned a tutor please see me after class." Mrs. Andrews yelled out while beginning to pass out the exams. I shifted in my seat nervously awaiting my result, knowing that the test was a struggle for me.
"How do yo think you did?" Shane asked me. I shrugged my shoulders. "Pretty good i think." I said as Mrs.Andrews made it to our table placing 2 peices of paper in front of us flipped over so we couldnt see eachothers grade.
"Congratulations Mr.Anderson, highest grade in the class, Ms.Wesbrook you might want to see me after class." She told me in the most condescending tone. I peeked at my paper, 65, i failed the test which was one of two tests that would make up 30% of my grade for the quarter.
I turned to Shane. "What did you get?" I asked wondering what the highest grade was, maybe the whole class did bad. He shrugged his shoulders. "95, i missed a question, how bad is yours?" He asked, i scoffed.
"How do you know its bad?" I said raising my eybrows and crossing my arms across my chest. "Really Elli? Let me see it." He told me cocking his head to the side and giving me a smirk. "Fine." I said as I slided my paper over to him, he flipped it over and took note of my grade.
"How did you get a 65, when you get A's on your worksheets?" He asked me in disbelif. I let out a sigh. "Shane, you let me copy practically everything we do in class." Now it was his turn to scoff. "No I dont, we do them together."
"You go through them so damn fast i dont have time to think about it so i just copy." I told him sheepishly. "Why didnt you ask me to slow down and help you?" He adked, i felt my cheeks turn a bit pink. "I dont know, i didnt think you would help me.its not like were froends like that."
"Well were friends like that now and im making it my personal mission to make sure you get A's on all your chem exams from this day forward." Mrs.Awndrews started to lecture. "You dont have to do that, really, i know you have alot going on." I told him knowing the pressures of the football team as well as all the relationship drama Shane had just went through.
"Actually im your lab partner, and no way im gonna have any lab partner of mine failing tests." I rolled my eyes, knowing that i really could use the help, and it would impress my mother to have a good chem grade. "Fine, ill let you tutor me." I said finally giving in.
"Okay we'll start today, my house after football practice of course, if you dont mond waiting" i cut him off, getting flashbacks of what went down last time i went to Shanes to study.
"No way, i cant go back to your house. Not adter last time." I told him looking right into his brown eyes which stopped sparkling when i brought up the incident from the first week of school.
"He wont be there, i promise." I shook my head, Shane knew what i went through now, i couldnt stand to be around anyone who i thought might hurt me and Shanes dad left me incredibally nervous. "Still, i just cant risk it." I could tell Shane thought about arguing with me but i guess he knew better, or maybe he just took pity on me.
"Okay then, we can use the livrary after football practice." I smiled, a bit suprised that for once someone took my feelings into account. "Perfect,i'll wait there until practive is over." I said starting to copy what our teacher was scrbbling in the board.
"And we can even hang out after if you want." He offered up in a whisper. I stopped writing and looked up at him, at first scowling. Until i saw his brown eyes with a twinkle of mischeif, i couldnt help but smile. "Dont push it weve only been friends for like 24 hrs." I said giggling a bit.
"Your right, maybe after 48 hours we can hang out." I shook my head and got back to my note taking. Even with Shanes help if i was gonna be aceing tests i needed to be taking notes.
