The Boy Meets the Girl

Chapter 3: A New Story

Blake's POV

It has been a week. A whole week. What have I done in these seven days you may ask? Well, I haven't had the courage to talk to Sierra so in the past seven days all I have done is watch her as she spoke to my friends. Stalker Alert, I know.

I half listen as Mr. Ass begins to talk in spanish which leaves me completely clueless. He then transitions to a mix of spanish and english. "Oral Presentation" was just enough to steer my attention to the words spewing out of his mouth. Just great. Talking in front of people always makes me nervous as hell. Maybe I could get Sierra as a partner. That thought was enough to make me cross my fingers in hope and wash away my fears.

I walk over to the empty desk in front of Ethan, which is next to Sierra. I start talking to Ethan about this stupid presentation.

"Dude maybe I can get sierra as a partner, ugh man I wish." I say barely above a whisper trying not to tell the girl I think I like that I want her as a partner.

" Well it's a raffle so let's pray together." Ethan replies with his hands mock praying and under the table I cross my fingers, hoping and praying.

We all write our names down on a small piece of paper. Sierra passes me the sombrero with a sweet, genuine smile on her face. I do not think I will ever get enough of that smile. Her smile does something to me. OMG, when did I become such a girl?

Once everyone puts their paper in the hat, Mr. Ass comes to me and gives me the first pick.

Please let it be Sierra, please please please.

I was woken out of my little prayer by Mr. Ass yelling at me in spanish to hurry up and pick. I slowly take out the paper out of the hat drawing out suspense out of fear and the desire to make this teacher mad. Sierra. Is all I see on the paper and I said a silent thank you before blinking a couple times. Telling Mr. Ass who I picked, I see her perk up just a little bit. I must be going crazy, right? I turn to look at Ethan really quickly and see him using his eyes to encourage me to talk to Sierra.

" Hey, we're partners." I courageously say to her as she turns around to face me.

"I kind of figured," she says as giggles escaped her lips, "let's talk about what we are gonna present when everyone is done choosing their partners." She says and in reply I nod my head.

Once everyone picked, Ethan gave me a pat on the shoulder while giving me that wink. Not the seductive kind but the bro go get that girl wink. There is a difference, trust me. Sierra begins to write some stuff down and as the instruction sheet gets passed around the room she continues to remain silent.

"Okay, so the paper says that we need to be talking for about five minuetes minimum and eight maximum."

She looks at me and nods in agreement but still doesn't say a word which makes me anxious.

She finally speaks, giving me chills. The good kind.

" Well Mr. Ass said we need to re-enact a scene at a store. Either one of us will buy something from the other and we need to use vocabulary from that unit." She said while shaking her head.

"Awe, your so freakin cute"

"What?" she says looking at me with a curious look on her face.

Shit did i say that out loud.

"Nothi-- nothing, i didn't say anything." i say while mentally facepalming myself. After that she didn't say anything for a while making me anxious once again. Did she buy my lie?

About 10 minutes later, our script is done, and we start memorizing our lines.

" Damn we make a good duo." she says smiling with her hand up in the air.

Am i supposed to high five her? Oh shit.

I high five her and she starts laughing hysterically.

"Well that took you a while, didn't it?" She says with a sarcastic uplift in her voice, but then begins to laugh. I laugh with her not caring that we might of looked like weird ass people.

The bell rings which automatically changes my mood from ecstatic to low key depressed. Sierra gets up, throwing her backpack over her shoulder.

"Good work today, Blake." she says as she pats my shoulder. "see you tomorrow!" I reply feeling like the man.

Ethan, Liam and Wyatt walk over to where i was standing in shock, wolf whistling. I am already tell my cheeks are turning a little pink. Again, when did I become such a girl?

"Dude i saw the way you were looking at her when she was writing." Liam says while wiggling his eyebrows.

" You're just jealous i actually might have a chance with this girl, any girl in general." I say as I give him a playful shove.

I check the time on my phone and see I have a minute to get to math. I walk out the class, still proud of my comeback. Damn, I got a story to tell Mr. Cad.
