We paced into class. I sat next to Monica of course. Ughh!!! I feel akward being in the same classroom as Cameron. He's still probably thinking of how akward I am when we were in the hallway.
"Good morning class, today-
Miss Gonzales! We go through this every morning! Throw your lollipop in the trash! Next time I see you with a lollipop or any kind of candy in my class, you have detention for a week!!!" Mr.Kieth yelled.
"Ok I promise I won't do it again." Monica said in a miserable tone and threw it in the trash.
"As I was saying..today you guys will have an assigned project and will be working with partners."Mr.Keith finished.
The whole class complained and griefed.
I whisper to Monica. "I hope we get to be partnered up!"
she whispers back. "Me too..but I think Mr.Kieth hates me a lot. There's a 50/50 chance we get partnered up."
I sat quietly crossing my fingers that I could be partnered up with Monica or someone easy to work with.
Mr. Kieth goes down the list. "Michael and Camile"
"Nash and Trevor"
"Monica and Amanda"
Why does Monica end up being partners with her?!?! I hope I get a good partner.
"Eddie and Mia"
"Marie and Carter"
"last but not least..Cameron and Adela."
WHY? I look over my shoulder at Cam and his head is down focusing on whatever's infront of him.
"Now go to your partners and discuss and organize about what you are going to do." Mr Kieth said.
"Good Luck..you'll need it." Monica whispered while getting out of her chair.
I look over at Cameron and he's still looking down at his desk. I guess he's not moving..I have to.
I walk over to his desk bringing my books and and backpack.
"Hey" I said breaking the silence.
"Sup" he said looking up at me.
"So what method should we use for the project. I was thinking timeline, collage, or venn diagram but i'm still not sure. I think we should just focus on the writing and research portion because this is a big grade on our 10 week report card and-
"shhh!" cameron said covering my mouth.
"You talk too much"
"Sorry" I said staring down at the desk.
Cameron grabbed my chin and raised it. "You have pretty eyes"
I smiled trying to look somewhere else but his face. If I did, I knew I would stare at him for a long time.
After 8 seconds which felt like a life time, he finally let go of my chin. The bell rang.
"I'll come over your house and we can do some of the project afterschool tomorrow." he said.
"Ok" I smiled a bit.
I left the class with Monica.
"So how was your time with Cameron?" she teased.
"It was...well it was weird..for me"
"What happened?" she asked.
"Well he said I talked to much, in a good way. He pulled up my chin and said I had pretty eyes and we barely talked about the project." I recapped
Monica raised one eyebrow. "Well he thinks you're a cool person and have pretty eyes. Why are you weirded out?"
"Because..it was just weird. The guy I like is teasing me and he doesn't even know it. He probably thinks I'm shy and a freak. So how was your partner?" I smirked.
"Don't even get me started! The bitch just had an additude the whole period working with her. I'm not going to be the one to do this project by myself and she's going to get credit for it!" She exclaimed.
I laughed.
"Did you do your Math homework?" I asked.
"No."
"Of course you didn't." I laughed. "I gotta go to Science. See ya later."
"Ok bye!" she said back as we walk different directions.
I walk into class and sat next to Nicole before anyone else could .
"Hey Nicole."
"Hey..i've been looking for you and Monica everywhere." she complained.
"We've been looking for you too! Did you get the answer for number six?" I asked.
"No."
"Hey guess what!" I whispered while smiling.
"What" she said looking at me.
"So Mr.Kieth made us partner up for a project and I got paired up with Cameron. We had a moment!!" I exclaimed but still whispered.
"Oh My God! What did you guys talk about?" she asked.
"Nothing really. He pulled up my chin and said I had pretty eyes."
"You are so lucky! You got paired with the most popular boy in this school!" she exclaimed in a whisper.
"I know. He's coming over my house tomorrow to work on the project!"
This day couldn't get any better.
