By God's Hand

Taylor and Her New Haircut

When Taylor walked into school the next day, she was immediately bombarded with compliments about how good her hair now looked. She had gotten 16 inches cut off of her auburn hair the night before.

Luke and Taylor have AP history 1st hour. When Luke saw her and saw how much hair she had cut off he immediately asked if he could go to the bathroom. When he got to the bathroom he knelt on the floor, folded his hands and looked up to God with tears in his eyes.

"Thank you so much God! Thank you for sending me a sign! Thank you for Taylor! I can't wait to talk to her and get to know her! I'm so grateful that you did this for me. I will NEVER forget this God, I PROMISE!! Amen."

After praying Luke walked to the sink and splashed cold water on his face to, hopefully, make it less noticeable that he was crying. Once he thought he did that well enough, he went back to class.

When he walked into the classroom everyone looked at him, but Luke looked at Taylor. They held eye contact, for what seemed like an eternity to Taylor, before Luke walked to his desk and sat down.

"What was that?" Taylor's friend Alyssa whispered to her excitedly.

"I don't know" Taylor said getting a pencil out.

Alyssa rolled her eyes at Taylor. "He's super hot and he just eyed you up! You have to talk to him...I can get his number for you"

Taylor giggles and shakes her head. "I know you can Alyssa. I think I can handle this on my own."

"So, by that you mean that you're just going to let God make what's supposed to happen happen?" Alyssa asks shaking her head, knowing that Taylor could have had a lot of boyfriends because of how pretty she was, but never did anything about it, always trusting in God to do whatever she needed.

All Taylor does is smile at her and nod her head because Mr. King had begun to talk.

"Today we are going to begin a partner project. And I will be picking partners, well, I already have actually. Alyssa and Mathew you will be working together. Luke and Taylor you will be working together."

After Taylor heard that she was going to be partners with Luke, she couldn't focus anymore. She looked over to Alyssa, who was grinning.

"Look at what your God did. Now, you have to get his number."

Taylor shakes her head and walks over to where Luke was and sits down. "So what are we supposed to do? I didn't listen to a word he said."

Luke chuckles, "He said we have to pick somebody that we think made a significant impact in our society. And then we have to make a presentation about the person."

Taylor heard most of what Luke said, but all she could remember was how hot his chuckle was. She shakes her head at herself. "I can't be falling for him already!"

Luke looks at her waiting for her to talk. Eventually he realizes she's in her own world. "So, who do you want to do?"

"What? Um...I...I mean...we could...Um..how about...I have no idea." Taylor blushes, knowing she just completely embarrassed herself.

All Luke does is laugh. "How about we do JFK? He made a huge impact on our society and I've always wanted to do more research on him."

"Uh..yeah..that's totally fine" she stammers. Thankfully the bell rings and she can leave. Before she leaves, Luke stops her.

"Hey. Here's my number. You can text or call me and we can set up when we wanna work on this."

"Uh..yeah. Of course. Bye!" Taylor basically runs out of the room to get away from him.

Luke is so happy, he can't believe it. "She likes me! She couldn't stop stammering or blushing while she was with me. this project is going to go amazing."
