Charms

Chapter 13: The Math Project

It's now Monday morning, and Sabrina is trying her best to forget what had happened on Friday. Brock went on his first date with Ally at the same time and place he went on his date with Sabrina. Sabrina felt like she was being replaced. It was an awful feeling, and she felt it all because of one boy. However, Sabrina didn't agree with Aunt Ruby. She was going to continue the fight for Brock.

Spencer arrived to school early so Sabrina can give him a tour before class starts. Conveniently, Spencer had the same schedule as her. During the tour, Spencer and Sabrina held hands in case anyone was roaming the halls. To prevent the risk of anyone figuring out that Sabrina and Spencer didn't have feelings for each other, the two agreed to keep there wrists hidden when they're together. That way, no one would know that their bracelets didn't glow for each other.

"That completes the tour, Spence!" Sabrina said as she stopped by the school library. "Any questions?"

"No, but thanks for doing this, babe! I really appreciate it," Spencer replied.

All of a sudden, students started flooding the hallway.

"It looks like first period is about to start!" Sabrina stated. Ally and Brock started making there way towards her.

"Ally and Brock are coming! Quick! Put your arm around me! Keep the other arm in your pocket!" Sabrina said in a panicky voice.

"Woah! Ally is more beautiful than I remember!"

"Snap out of it!"

Spencer quickly threw his arm around Sabrina.

"Spencer! Long time no see!" Ally exclaimed. "So, you and Sabrina are actually dating?"

"Y-yes, and she's the best girlfriend you can possibly imagine!" Spencer said, stuttering. He then pulled Sabrina closer to him and kissed her on the cheek. Sabrina giggled flirtatiously, secretly stomping on his foot to show that she's uncomfortable with him kissing her.

"Ow!" Spencer whispered in her ear.

"You guys make a good couple! Congratulations, Sabrina!" Brock commented, nudging Sabrina's shoulder. Sabrina started to blush, so she looked down at her feet, making sure that Brock didn't see her. Keep it together! Sabrina thought to herself.

"Thanks!" Sabrina answered. "I'm so glad that we broke up! I wouldn't have met the light of my life if I didn't," Sabrina said, looking into Spencer's eyes.

"Don't talk to Brock like that!" Ally shouted.

Brock rubbed her back. "It's okay, Ally! I completely deserved that."

"Whatever! She shouldn't talk to you like that! Let's just go to class," Ally cried as she headed towards Mr. Chapman's room.
Brock, Spencer, and Ally trailed behind her and took their seats when they arrived in the classroom. Mr. Chapman made his way to the front of the room.

"Good morning, class! Today, I will be assigning you your first project! Since it is your first one of the year, I will make it easy on you. Before I get into the details of the project, I would like to introduce you to the new student! Spencer, please stand up and tell the class a little bit about yourself.

Spencer stood up and told the class about how he moved back to North Charmania after 2 years in South Charmania and sat back down in his seat.

"Thank you, Spencer! Now, let's get back to business. For the project, I will put you in groups of four and assign you a specific location. In this location, you will observe everything that relates to math and make a list of them. Then, you will neatly display the information on a poster board and turn it in on Friday. Is there any questions?" Mr. Chapman asked after briefly explaining the project. The room fell silent.

"Great! Since there's sixteen people in this class, there will be four groups. Group 1 is Rosetta, Frankie, Ben, and Paul. Group 2 is Marie, Diana, Lester, and Kendrick. Group 3 is Celeste, Hannah, Joseph, and Chris. Group 4 is Brock, Ally, Sabrina, and Spencer. I will come around with a box of paper slips. One person from your group will randomly select one. The slip contains the location your group will be observing," Mr. Chapman announced.

Sabrina is upset that Brock and Ally are in her group, but there's nothing she can do about it. Brock took a paper slip from Mr. Chapman's box.

"Where are we observing?" Sabrina asked.

"The Coleman Dance Studio," Brock replied.

"Yes!" Sabrina exclaimed.

"This is great for you, babe! Don't you like hip-hop?" Spencer questioned.

"Yes, it's my favorite form of dance. I'm glad you remembered, Spence. You're such a great listener!" Sabrina acknowledged.

"Why wouldn't I want to listen to your beautiful voice?" Spencer asked, grasping Sabrina's hand and looking her straight in the eye. Sabrina gave him a bright smile as Ally rolled her eyes.

"Put your romance aside for just a second! I want to get an "A". When do you guys want to meet up?" Ally demanded, sternly.

"How about today at 6:30?" Sabrina asked.

"Ok!" Brock, Spencer, and Ally said in unison.

"Great! I'll see you guys then!" Sabrina exclaimed, enthusiastically.

The bell rang and Sabrina walked out of the door with her hand in Spencer's.

"Wow! We're really pulling this off! I think Brock and Ally actually believe we're dating!" Sabrina whispered.

"I know right! We just need to keep it up," Spencer whispered back.

When school was over, Sabrina said her farewells to Spencer since he takes the bus while she carpools. Her mother pulled up to the front of the school and Sabrina got into the car.

"Hey honey! How was school?" Lauren asked.

"It was great!" Sabrina answered.

"Is Spencer getting used to his new school?"

"Yes, he's fine!"

Sabrina didn't tell her mom about pretending to be Spencer's girlfriend. She wanted to keep it a secret so she won't worry about her.

"I'm glad to hear that!" Lauren stated.

"Mom, I need to be at the Coleman Dance Studio at 6:30 for a math project. Do you mind taking me there?"

"No, not at all!"

"Thanks, Mom!"

Sabrina did the rest of her homework until it was time to go to the dance studio. A part of her didn't want to go to the studio because it reminded her of the night she met Brock, which led her to remembering the night she lost him. However, she wasn't going to let her feelings get in the way of a good grade, so she quickly got dressed and went into the car. Since Spencer lives in their neighborhood, Lauren and Sabrina decided to pick him up from his house.

When they arrived, Brock and Ally were waiting for them in one of the rooms.

"Hey guys! Are you ready to start the project?" Brock asked.

"Yes! Let's get started," Sabrina said. "I was thinking that one of the things we can put on the list is that the dancers need to turn there bodies in an 360 degrees angle to perfect a spin."

"That's a good one!" Spencer commented as he was looking at the dancers being measured. "We can also put that the dancers need to be measured to fit their costumes for their recital."

"I'll write those down. We're off to a good start," Ally said.

Brock looked over Ally's shoulder as she wrote down Sabrina and Spencer's idea. He looked so handsome, Sabrina couldn't help but stare. All of sudden, Ally looked up from her notepad.

"Stop staring at my boyfriend!" Ally shouted and pushed Sabrina away.

"No!" Spencer yelled.

At first, Sabrina was confused. She expected to hit the floor, but she didn't. She looked down and saw that she had fallen out of the window! Sabrina screeched in fear, but she didn't worry about loosing her life. Charmanians can't die before age 16; it's impossible. Or so she thought......
