Science Project

April sat at her kitchen table, tapping her pencil impatiently against her notepad. She looked at her notebook again, but her mind was far away from math homework.

Her thoughts kept drifting to her science project—or rather, the lack thereof.

The sixteen-year-old student at Oak Hills High School had a project proposal due tomorrow. It was worth a large portion of her grade in the class, but she'd been having such a hard time getting started on it that she was already planning on asking her teacher for an extension.

With her back tense and her forehead creased, she scowled at her workbook. Then she slumped down in the chair, letting her long legs stretch out in front of her.

Today was a really big day—she needed to finish her algebra homework, eat breakfast and come up with a solid proposal for a science project, all before lunch.

It was daunting.

In fact, she was exhausted—after staying up half the night doing her book report, too, there was no way she was going to be able to come up with a decent proposal with her brain so foggy and out of focus.

'Coffee, maybe...?' April mused, staring at the white mug and the transparent pot full of liquid brown caffeine next to it.

She was thinking it might do her some good to have a cup—after all, her dad always made more than he ever drank, and she was sure a little help from the grown-up drink would perk her up enough to get her assignment done.

As she poured herself a cup, quickly dumped a few big spoonfuls of sugar into the steaming drink and lifted the cup to her mouth—there was a sudden knock at the door.

The tall, slender teenager gasped, squeaked and spun around.

Her long auburn ponytail swished behind her head, and the coffee sloshed out of the mug as she scrambled toward the door.

"Coming!" April called out. "Just a second!"

In her surprise and haste, she hadn't yet gotten dressed—clad only in a light blue tank top and white panties that were riding fairly low, she was feeling a little bit indecent. 

She didn't even have a bra on yet, either—she hoped whoever was out there wasn't going to care...

Peeking out the front door, she saw a rather striking young man on the other side. He was well-dressed in some sort of delivery-person uniform, and he was carrying a package.

"Oh, hi..."

April tugged at the straps of her tank top nervously, suddenly feeling like she was practically undressed in front of this stranger—a rather handsome one, at that.

"Hi. Uhm, you got a package from Amazon. Sign here."

The young man offered her his clipboard, his eyes widening as they glanced down at her bare feet.

April's face flushed with heat as she realized he was totally checking her out—her long, smooth legs in particular.

"Right. There you go," the flustered high-schooler murmured, quickly scribbling her name on the indicated line. "Thank you!"

The delivery boy kept on staring as April grabbed the box and shut the front door, her face bright pink from her embarrassment.

'He was so hot,' April mused as she thought how she'd love to be dating a guy like that—she wished she knew a single boy at her school with a body like his...

But for the time being, she set the package down on the sofa and went to enjoy that cup of coffee.

That should give her the motivation she needed to finish her assignments for today—which would give her some time to plan and think of what to do for her science project.
