Last class of the day as well as the last ten minutes for me, hallelujah. I don't have classes after twelve so, there's no reason for me to stay. "Don't forget, if you're advanced art, your final is the create a hat from scratch for the annual art show in December. Also, your opposites attract project is due one week before the art show. All those who take Mrs. Thomas, know the details & you'll present in her class then, bring then to me to be approved for the show. Well, you all may be dismissed, have a great day." with that everyone stood, packing their things & emptying the classroom in a matter of seconds.

"Hey Carson, how are you sweetie? I haven't heard from you since Monday." she asks in a worried tone. Did she really think I'd just get over it? Oh no, far from it, "I'm fine, got to go." rushing past her only to be caught by her swift hand, "Look, if your upset that I paired you with Mr. Chambers, I'll reassign you. Who'd you like to be your partner?" I'm so over this project & this semester, "I would've preferred to take an 'F' or worked alone rather than, working with him or anyone for that matter... but the damage is already done, I'll see you later Ms. Thomas." I admitted, shaking out of her grip walking away.

"Truth is, There's no need to feel bad now.. The kid isn't that bad, he's actually kind of cool." I mumbled, running to my car, realizing what today was. It's Wednesday, I promised Sadie that we'd go to the mall today. Then, I have to take DC home, at the same time. Reaching my car, I see two people standing there. One blonde, with length & dressed in a bubblegum pink dress, and white sandals. The other, dark brown hair, dressed in a blue and white button down shirt, khaki shorts, & white vans.

"Hey guys, I'm here, I'm here!" I scream halfway across the lot. Why is this parking lot so big anyways? This could be a freaking stadium. "Finally, we've been standing here four whole minutes! It's hot out here, this sun isn't good for my complexion." Sadie is such a brat, "Sorry, Mrs. Thomas was holding me up. Darilyn meet Sadie and vice versa. Let's go, I'm tired." I added, getting into the car.

"What did she want?" asks DC. I hesitated before answering because of Sadie's presence. "She thinks I'm mad because she paired me with you. Which I was.." I stop, "But?" he says, fine I'll say it. "BUT, I told her there's no need to feel bad because the kid is actually kind of cool." I mutter, looking over to catch his cheeks lighting up a rose pink maybe a red. "Two times in a day." he snaps his head in my direction, thats my Que. to shut it.

"What're you two talking about?" says Sadie, oh shit, I forgot she was back there. "Uh, nothing Sadie, so what're you getting from the mall?" I ask, before she could even speak, DC sits up and says, "I want to go with you."

"No, I'll see you later. You've got to prep for our opposites project." I blurted, as if I was his dad. "Oh let the dude go, it'll be nice to finally have a real gay friend. You don't mind right?" she says looking at DC. "Nah, it's cool, I need to do a little shopping anyways."

"A little, try a whole new wardrobe."

"Wow, I love my clothes." he announced, "Honey, your wardrobe isn't the best. I can fix that! By the time we're finished, all the boys will be staring." she announces confidently. This is going to be good, she's going to convert him into one of those guys she dates. "I don't there's a reason for him to buy an entire wardrobe. It's money going to waste, have fun though." I say as we pull into the parking lot of the mall. It wasn't as empty as I expected, after all it is the middle of the week.
