Wish Upon A Star

Help!

Me and Sophie are sitting at the back of the science class. Sophie, flying through her work and me, totally confused and having no idea what I'm supposed to be doing. The class is absolutely silent. We have a terrifying teacher who yells at us at the beginning of each lesson even if we have done nothing wrong. Her name is Mrs Puzudos. Even her name is scary. In the silence I hear someone giggle up the front. I look up and see the teacher burning holes with her eyes through the students in the front row. A couple of seconds later another kid up the front starts laughing uncontrollably. The kids laugh is contagious and soon the whole class is laughing, even me and Sophie are.

"Michael farted!" he blurts out and the whole class starts laughing even harder.

The boy who I assume is Michael, goes completely red in the face and slams his head on his desk.

"Be quiet!"Mrs Puzudos says loudly.

The class continues to laugh and her face becomes red with anger.

"SILEEENCE!!!" She screams in her terrifying voice.

The class becomes dead silent again. I look around and I see a mixture of scared faces and faces that are on the verge of laughing.

"Seating plan!" She yells.

The whole class groans.

(If you don't know what that is, basically the teacher forces you to sit next to someone who isn't your friend every lesson.)

"No complaining," she says, "I will not put you with any of your friends. In fact, I will put you with people I have never even seen you talk to, yes, you can make some new friends. How exciting."

We all look around, creeped out over what she had just said.

"Everyone stand around the edge of the class room."

We all obeyed silently.

"This is so frustrating," Sophie complains, "We always hang out, there's no way we will be put together."

"Sophie!" Mrs Puzudos says.

"Yes?"

"Come sit here," she says pointing to an empty seat at the front of the class room. "And you, whats your name?" She asks the laughing kid.

"Zach," he replies instantly.

"Yes, Zach, come sit next to Sophie here."

I give Sophie a sympathetic look as she sits next to the laughing kid.

I wait for about a minute before the teacher finally gets to me.

"Emma," she says.

"Yes?"

"Come sit here," she points to a seat at the end row at the back of the class.

I walk over there and sit down.

"And you, Bailey. I've never seen you two talk, come sit next to Emma."

Bailey walks over and sits next to me. He looks over and smiles at me, I smile back sheepishly. My face starts to go red. I can feel his warmth next to me, he is sitting so close I could lean over and kiss him....which I would never do of course. Like that could ever happen. When he looks away I look over at Sophie who is smiling at me excitedly.

"OH MY GOD!" she mouths.

"I KNOW!" I mouth back.

Me and Bailey go through the rest of the class not speaking. I occasionally glance over at him, not too often because I know he will get suspicious, to have another look at his adorable, curly hair and catch a glimpse of his perfect light blue eyes. Ahh, how am I going to get through this year without having a heart attack.

Wow. I know. How unexpected. I hope you enjoyed :))))
