I Can Help You

First Meeting

Chapter 2: First Meeting

I walk in to my English class and sit at my desk.

"Okay class, as you all know, the quiz on Chapter 2 is today..."

The class groans annoyingly and Mr. Peterson chuckles.

"I know, I know..." He says sarcastically. "Luckily for you guys, I'm giving you 15 minutes to get a little extra study time in starting now so take full advantage of that time. You may begin."

After he tells us to begin, everyone sits next to their friends and starts studying. And once again, here I am, by myself, in the back. I open my notebook and begin reading over my notes when suddenly the door opens. Kayla Monroe rushes in and gives Mr. Peterson a late pass.

"Sorry I'm late, here's my pass." She says smiling. Mr. Peterson nods his was and smiles as well.

"No problem, just go ahead and start studying for the quiz Ms. Monroe." She tucks a piece of hair behind her ear and flashes a cute a grin.

"Okay, thank you."

As she walks to her seat next to Skylar, I just admire her. She is so beautiful. She has chocolate skin, long and wavy black hair, beautiful hazel colored eyes, and a smile that would make a man drop to his knees. Not to mention her body is amazing...not that I look at it all the time but, how can you miss it? She is absolutely gorgeous... No wonder she's captain of the cheerleading team and the most popular girl in school. As from what I've observed, she seems like a really sweet person. She doesn't seem stuck up like other girls that go here. She was acknowledged by the school for her community service work at homeless shelters and children's hospitals. She's...perfect. I just don't understand why she's with Skylar! He is such an asshole. He's mean, cold hearted, a schmoozer, and he treats her with disrespect from what I see. He obviously doesn't appreciate what he has. I've never spoken to Kayla but once. And it was freshman year and she asked me where Room 249 was. I was so struck by her beauty that I couldn't even answer the question without stuttering. I'm such a dork...

She sits next to Skylar and begins studying for the test... I feel weird for just staring at her so I'll just mind my own...

About ten minutes goes by and suddenly, she gets up from her seat angrily and moves to a seat next to me. I look at her from the corner of my eye and oh God...she looks so angry. I wonder what just happened between them? Her arms are crossed and her foot is tapping rapidly on the floor. Goodness...she's really mad.

"Ms. Monroe, are you okay?" Mr. Peterson asks. She looks at him and puts on a fake smile.

"Yes I'm fine, thank you." Skylar looks back at her and she flicks him off. Damn. He's in trouble now... I chuckle lightly to myself. Mr. Peterson passes out the quizzes and when I take mine, I know every answer. I write the answers down on a little piece of paper, and when I go up to submit my quiz, I slip the piece of paper on Skylar's desk. When I walk back to my seat, he smiles at me and nods his head.

"Good lookin." He mouths silently.

I nod my head and sit back at my desk. As I sit there and watch as Skylar takes the quiz with the answers I gave him, a grin slowly forms on my face. What he doesn't know is that I have him the wrong answers. I am not going to be responsible for him cheating, and getting a grade he doesn't even deserve. So, he has to deal with getting a bad grade. He's gonna be pissed but, I don't care...this is me trying to stick up for myself since no one else will...

After everyone turns in their quizzes, Mr. Peterson begins to grade them. After he's finished, he passes them out and when I get mine, I smile...100%. Kayla who is sitting next to me smiles when she gets hers...

"100%..." She says quietly to herself. She's smart too...a great quality. Suddenly, Kayla looks at me, then my test and smiles.

"You got 100% too? Good job..." She says smiling big. Did she just speak to me? Oh my God, I can't even talk. Her smile is so beautiful I can't even look at her.

"Thank you, you too..." I say shyly. She smiles bigger.

"Thanks..." She looks at me for a second silently, looks down, then looks back up.

"What's your name again?" She asks looking into my eyes with those beautiful hazel eyes...they seem to just sparkle. I look down.

"My name is Michael..." I say.

"Nice to meet you Michael, I'm Kay-" I cut her off and look at her.

"Kayla... I know. Everyone knows you..." She blushes a little and looks down.

"Oh...we'll thank you I guess...it was nice meeting you." Suddenly the bells rings and everyone immediately gets up and walks out the class room.

"See you later Michael." Kayla says getting up and walking out the class room.

"Bye..." I say quietly. I just sit in my chair and recap what just happened. Kayla Monroe just talked to me...ME! How in the hell did this happen? I feel like such a dork, I get all sweaty handed when I see her. I wonder what made her talk to me. I get up from my chair with a smile on my face, re living the moment that just happened, when suddenly my moment is ruined. When I walk out of the room, Skylar comes out of no where and slams me against the lockers...once again. I look at him confused and yelp.

"What are you doing?!" I yell.

"So you wanna give me the wrong answers to the test huh?!" He asks angrily.

Uh oh...
