Drama Girl Sports Boy

Chapter 3

Chase's POV:

I was surprised when she got the answer right. She wasn't even paying attention to the lesson and she still gets it right!

I guess I never realized how smart she was and my guess is that she is passing this class unlike me, yeah I know. Science isn't my thing but you should see my grade in Math and Social Studies, much higher and I mean much higher than Science.

Well anyway, class ends and she grabs her stuff and leaves. I pick up my stuff and follow her.

"Hey Jody wait up!" I call after her

She looks over her shoulder at me to see who's calling her name and she stops, she looks kind of shocked when she does though.

"Hey!" I say once I catch up to her

"Uh hey what's up?" She asks tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear

"Uh well I was wondering if you could help me study for our exam next week. Since I'm not doing so hot." I say scratching the back of my neck

Once again she looks shocked, surprised, abash, dazed, dismay, and so on.

"Uh sure. But it's hard for me to believe you need my help." She says with a small smile

"Great thanks so much. Uh yeah, about that I'm kind failing the class right now and you seem like a smart person and I thought you could help me." I say

I was surprised when she said that, it's like she believes in me, or she's one of those people who thinks I'm so perfect when I also have problems of my own, for example this whole Science thing. But other than that I do have more problems I just haven't told anyone because sometimes I feel there's no one out there no can really trust.

"I can tell you're just trying to be nice." She says with her cheeks getting pink as she slowly starts walking towards her locker

"Nope I'm being honest here." I say walking next to her and she smiles and I continue walking next to her and bugging her that I really do think she's smart

"Ok ok. I believe you." She says once she come to a stop and her locker

"Well it took you long enough." I say

With all my friends they weren't this easy to talk to, it like we have known each other forever but we've only known each other since 6th grade but we haven't talked much.

"Are you always this easy to talk to?" I ask and she smiles and looks down at her feet then back up at me

"Yeah I guess. I'm a people person." She says and I smile

"Well I should head to my locker. But I'll see you later." I say and she nods

I jog off towards me locker to see Tyler and Josh waiting for me.

"What happened to you, why are you late?" Tyler asks

"Just asking the teacher a question." I lie

"Sure dude." Josh says rolling his eyes. "We saw you talking to Drama girl. What were you talking about?"

"You want to true?"

They both nod their heads. But I had a feeling I should lie again or else their minds would think something else.

"Well in Social Studies we got paired up as partners and I asked her when she would like to meet to get started." I lie again

"Dude that was such a lie. Even I believed it." Tyler says laughing

Yeah Tyler's not the brains of our group but he's totally the humor. Almost anything he does he gets us laughing. I would go on with stories but you guys would get bored, I'm almost sure of it.

I just shook my head and pushed past them to get to my locker. I turn the knob entering my combination 35,12,09. Not really noticing them staring at me like I'm retarded, with eyebrows arched.

"Guys we really do have a project in Social Studies and Mr. Hinberg paired us up." I say putting my science stuff into my locker

But I know if they don't believe me now I don't think they ever will. But as usual I shrug it off and head to class.
