The next day I returned to school and took my usual seat beside Tom in Music. "Ok class, please go and sit next to duet partner," Mr.Sykes' voice announced. Tom shot me an apologetic look before making his way over to sit beside a pretty looking blonde girl who's name is Kelsey I think. Well I'm glad she's pretty.
I sat in my seat by myself for a few minutes staring out the window. "Eh Callie right,"a soft voice questioned in front of me. I turned my head to see Mr.Sykes smiling down at me. The lyrics of my favourite Taylor Swift song popped into my head. Get me with those green eyes baby as the lights go down, give me something that'll haunt me when your not around, cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile. Truer words were never spoken. I shook my head in attemptt to clear it of the many thoughts running through my mind as i glanced up at him. "eh yeah," I replied smiling at him. "ah I told you I would remember,"he chuckled throwing a wink at me. Oh lord. I thought I was getting butterflies from Tom? that's nothing compared to this. "So," he continued. "Because you were out yesterday when I set the assignment I thought so you wont be left out that I'd do the duet with you is that ok." OK!! more like fantastic!! "Eh yeah that would be great thanks," I beamed. I don't think I've been this happy in ages. "Great so you'll need to stay behind with me after school for an hour or so a day to practice because we will be performing next Friday." "Ok no problem Sir," I smiled at him. He returned the smile then made his way back to the top of the classroom and told everyone to return to their usual seats.
For the rest of the lesson Mr. Sykes talked about how he wanted to see emotion conveyed through our performances. Honestly I wasn't paying attention. All I could think about was how i was going to stay with Mr.Sykes alone after school. I was smiling like an idiot to myself and Tom noticed. When the bell went to signal lunch he ran after me trying to catch up. When I reached my locker he began questioning me.
"What's up with you haha?" he chuckled. "What so you mean what's up with me ," I replied. "Your smiling like a weirdo back there whats going on." "Tom seriously I cant just be happy? there has to be a reason?" I questioned. "Of course there has to be a reason sour-puss your never just happy." "Oi cheeky," I laughed. I saw Tom look over my shoulder and a small smirk appeared on his face. "We'll talk again later," he said before turning on his heals and leaving me stood at my locker confused.
I felt a hand on my shoulder making me jump slightly but I relaxed as soon as I turned around and was met by the gorgeous green eyes i longed to gaze into. "So come to the music room after last lesson and we will practice ok?" he questioned. "Yup," I replied with a smile. He smiled back at me before turning and making his way towards the staff room. "Looking forward to it," he called over his shoulder making my smile turn into a full on grin.
I rested my head and back against my locker and thought of how amazing this next week is going to be.
