Polar Opposites {l.h}

Chapter 9

At the end of class, I tried to talk to Luke again.

"LUKE!!!!"

I saw the tall giraffe(lol) turn around and I started wavingy hand like crazy.

"Oh hey." he said with a smile.

"Hi. So I had one more question for you"

"Okaaayyyy." he said chuckling.

"Um..why didn't you come to pick me up for lunch that day?"

He didn't answer.

"Why didn't-"

"I heard you."

"So then answer me." I demanded.

He gave a long sigh.

"Can I tell you another time? Like after school?"

I looked at him, unsure if I should trust him to keep his word.

"Promise?"

"Promise."

As I sat through the next couple of classes, my mind kept wandering off.

What was Luke going to say? Is it really that bad? Did something happen with his family?

Maybe he ditched me because he doesn't like me. That's probably it.

The idea that Luke doesn't like me back made me really depressed.

"Azalea?"

"Huh?" I snapped back into reality as

I heard my teacher call my name.

"Did you hear any of the instructions I gave?"

"No."

She sighed. I want you to stay back after class for a bit.

I nodded.

"Can someone repeat the instructions for Azalea?"

No one offered. Of course not.

Who would help the girl reject?

I looked down at my desk, and messed around with my nails. I didn't even notice someone raised their hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Gilinsky"

What!?!? GILINSKY?!?

JACK GILINSKY WANTED TO HELP ME!?!

He is only like the hottest, most popular guy in school and captain of the lacrosse team,heart-eyes.

"Hey." he said and flashed me a smile which could make any girl melt.

I couldn't help but blush. "Hi." I said.

He just kinda stood there as I looked up at him. It just got really awko-taco.

"Okay..so Mrs. Small wants us to write abou-" he stopped and looked behind his shoulder at Mrs. Small.

She was looking at her desktop, paying no attention at all.

"Hey I was wondering if you wanted to grab some lunch or something?"

Oh my god. He ASKING to go to lunch with me!!

"Uh....sure" I said.

"Cool." he said, smiling.

Another awkward pause.

"Um..I sorta still need to know what Mrs. Small wants us to do."

"OH! She wants us to write an essay about our current leader in life."

"Okay." I said smiling.

"I'll meet you after she talks to you." and Jack went back to his seat.

"Oh my god!" I said squealing.

I started writing my essay and soon the rest of the class period slipped by and I had to talk to Mrs. Smalls.

I went up to her and handed in my paper.

"Azalea."

"Yeah, you wanted to talk to me?"

"Yes."

I stood there while she was shuffling through a stack of papers.

"Ah, there it is." and she pulled out a paper.

"Do you see this?" she said and showed me the paper.

It had my name on it. It was the Writing test I bombed.

"Yeah..." I said quietly.

She sighed.

"You got the lowest score out of the whole entire class."

I looked down, somewhat ashamed.

"I really need you to step it up in my class, Azalea. Otherwise, at the rate you're going at, be held back."

"Okay."

"I have assigned someone to tutor for you. You two can decide what times are suitable for each other."

"Who is it?"

"Lani Day."

_______________

As I stepped out of class, I saw Jack standing outside.

"Hey."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Don't feed me lies, Azalea"

I started laughing. " I have a tutor."

"That's not bad."

"It is when it's Lani."

"Oh..well we can get ice cream after lunch so you don't feel so bad, okay?" he said smiling.

I looked at him. "Okay."

______________

"And she just fell!" and we both cracked up.

"Wait, wait, wait! How did the penguin know she was there?!"

"It was a stalker penguin." I said and Jack laughed so hard I thought he was going to drop his ice cream onto his lap.

"Whew!" he said and looked at me. "See? Ice cream makes everything better."

"Yeah."

We were walking to his car so we could go back to school before we got caught.

"Do you want to do this again?"

"What is this?" I said.

"This is a date?"

"A date." I said smiling.

"So....Okay?"

"Okay." I said.
