I Pinky Promise { Baylor Barnes }

Chapter 8 Confused

-Isebelle-

Homecoming is coming up and nobody has asked me out. I'm not being a bitch about it, but I'm just hoping Blake Mason will ask me to it.

I have liked him for awhile and we have talked a few times but nothing major. But the thing is, is that the word about him asking me to homecoming has been going around. I'm excited, but at the same time I'm not sure what I would say. I mean, Baylor asked me last year and I said yes but we were just going as friends. I know he probably won't ask me this year. He has got a lot of chances with different girls and I know for damn sure that he wouldn't wanna waste them on me.

Homecoming King and queen voting is also coming up. And of course Maddy put my name in. I would be very surprised if I won.. Like, I would get to ride on a four wheeler in the parade! Like how fun is that! But who would I be sitting behind is the real question.

I sat in history class, bored. It's the second day of school and we are already learning about dumb shit that doesn't fit my interest. Clicking my pen, I try to block out all of Mr. Browns monotone voice.

I don't know about Baylor but I'm about to fall right to sleep.

"Miss. O'Conner, are you even paying attention? " I look up and everyone is looking at me.

Damn. What he say?

"I take that as a no. Meet with me after class. " He says and then starts teaching again.

Shit.

Baylor nudges me lightly. I look at him and he has a shit evil grin on his face. "Shut up," I whisper and go back to playing with my pen.

"....Now you can pick your partner. " Is what all I hear and right away Baylor and I are scooting closer. I try to act like I know what this project is about, but I can't out smart my best friend.

"You have no Idea what this project is on. Don't you?" Baylor says looking at me.

"No." I say stupidly. He laughs and throws his arm around me.

"I love you, you know that." This makes me smile and lay my head on his shoulder.

"I'll love you more if you tell me what's going on." I try acting cute but We both laugh. I am a straight A student and all my teachers like me. It's just, theres that one teacher that hates you because you pay no attention whatsoever but you still get A's on all the assignments.

And that is this class. Last year we had Mr. Brown and of course I had to get stuck with him again.

Baylor explains it to me and I get it right away. We are doing a research project on September 11th because it is coming up in a week and a half. This should be easy enough I mean I've done a bunch of these.

Piece of cake.

The bell rings and right away Mr. Brown is giving me the evil eye. Great.

"Save me a spot. " I say to Baylor, talking about lunch. He nods and walks out. Soon everyone is out and it's just Him and I.

"Miss. O'Conner, can you explain to me why you weren't paying attention?" He asks. I nod and begin my sentence.

"I'm sorry Mr. Brown. Today hasn't been my day. I have been thinking about everything and I know it doesn't help it being the second day of school. I'm sorry again. A lot has been on my mind." I lie. Well a lot has, but it's nothing serious.

He sighs and begins to talk again.

"Alright, I'll let you slip this time. I know you are a good student Isebelle, but please next time, pay attention. " I smile and nod.
