"I can't believe we finished it," Erica says to Tan as the yearbook committee have a pizza party being that today is their last yearbook meeting.
"Yeah now all we have to do is take it to Principal Taylor and hope she doesn't hate it"
"Does that woman like anything?" Erica asks jokingly and they go back to their little party.
walking to the principal's office with the yearbook prototype in his hands Tan gets nervous. Tan worked really hard on this yearbook and it got him into Northwestern so he hopes Principal Taylor likes it. "Hi Mrs. Drake" Tan greets the receptionist in the principal's office
"Hey Tanner" she looks up from her desk and smiles
"Is Principal Taylor in? I have the yearbook to show her"
"Ooh is it all done?" she get's excited
"Yeah we finished it this morning"
"That's great well she's not with anyone so go ahead."
Knocking on the door Tan wait's for an answer "come in" he hears her voice
Walking in smiling nervously Tan starts "hey PT what's up?"
"PT?" she looks up from whatever she was reading
"Principal Taylor" the principal doesn't react "you don't like that? Okay. So, here's the finished yearbook all it needs now is your a-ok so we can send it to printing."
Tan puts the binder and the principal's desk "ok I'll take a look at it and have it back to you tomorrow"
"Awesome" he smiles "hope you like it."
"Have a good day Tanner" the principal dismisses him going back to her work.
awkwardly walking away Tan leaves the office and meets his friends up at lunch sitting at their usual table as the girls eat and chat. "How'd it go?" Erica asks as he sits next to her
"Fine I think there was no emotion so I don't know, she said that she'd have it back by tomorrow"
"She's such an ice queen"
"Tell me about it so what were you guys talking about?"
"This" Lin hands Tan her phone opened on text messages between her and Cyrus, the guy she's crushing on. "All he says to everything is I don't know or whatever"
"Why do you even like him, Lin?" Tan asks scrolling through the texts
"Because he's hot!" Tan rolls his eyes at the response and hands Lin her phone back
"He also carries around a guitar that no one's ever heard him play before" Ronnie makes fun of him
"He says he's waiting for inspiration"
"On what? How to play the guitar?" Tan asks making Ronnie and Erica laugh
"Joke now but when he's serenading me with beautiful music you'll all be jealous."
The talking dies down and Tan starts to look around noticing something "have any of you guys seen Sven today?" he turns to them and they all shake their heads "I haven't spoken to him since what happened on Friday and I haven't seen him anywhere all day today."
"You guys have math together next period maybe he'll show up then" Lin tries to reassure Tan
"Or maybe he's avoiding you after you ran out when he kissed you" Ronnie replies honestly
"You think he's avoiding me?"
"Makes sense"
"I don't blame him I'm the worst."
