Ivory

Payed Attention

Ivory's POV

I clambered into my next class, science. Today we were doing some ridiculous lab about solar cars. I tuckde my hair behind my ear, and slid down into my chair. Then Mr.Gladden started.

"Okay class, quiet down everyone. Today we are going to choose our partners for the solar car project!" he looked like a five year old on Christmas morning. I ekpt my eyes down, if someone would really want to be my partner they could ask.

I saw Clause get up, and approach me, and I desperatly tried now to find someone else, anyone else to be my partner. Too late.

"Hey Ivory, wanna be my partner?" No, I don't. Sorry.

"Oh, yeah, sure." I can't believe I said that.

"Awesome," He sighed.

Mr.Gladden cleared his throat, "Alright, now that you have your partners, I'll pass out your paper work.."

AFter science class was over I went to lunch, nestling myself in the place next to Maya, everyone else making sure to leave a place for Aden.

"Hey," he said as he placed himself next to me.

"Hi," I mumbled.

He just looked at his tray, and I started on my sandwich. THings between us were just weird. I mean, we used to be friends, and now it was supposed to be romantic, but it was almost just the same, only now everyone payed attention to what we did.

Clause's POV

I was having a good day. It was just plain and simply, a good day. I felt a play-punch on my shoulder.

"Looks like Clause has a crush!" I heard that called from one of the guys at the table.

"Whoa, but look at that, she's already taken!" I glanced over at Ivory's table, and her hair was swept over her face, she must of been blushing.

"Guys, shut up. She can hear you." I shouted.

"Since when do you care about a girls feelings?"  Matt asked, once again, bringing out the guilt in me.

I blushed, and just stopped talking, starting on my food, and then dumping my tray.

Unconciously I made my way over to Ivory, and said "Hey, so for teh solar cars.. Do you want to come work at my place?" I looked at Aden to guage his reaction, he glared at Ivory, and then stood up swiftly, and stiffly to go dump his tray. I guess he wasn't to happy.
