Chapter 11

Mr Asher took our class to the library since we needed computers to research our projects. I sat on the computer between Luke and Savannah and logged in. ‘What country are we doing?’ I asked Luke. The project was to do some basic research about country and then give a presentation on it. Yawn. ‘France.’ he replied. I hadn’t been listening when Mr Asher told us which country we were studying.

‘Could be worse, I guess. At least I know that France exists, unlike half the country names Mr Asher was giving out.’ I said whilst rolling my eyes. He laughed in response. His smile was adorable. Ugh Jenna stop. You have a boyfriend.

‘What country are you doing Vannie?’ I asked.

‘Estonia.’ She replied with a bored tone.

‘Es-what-ia?.’ I said laughing.

‘Exactly.’ she said with a slight smile.

I turned back to my computer screen and typed out ‘France’ in bold. Then I added ‘by Jenna Clark and Luke Henderson.’ Ugh, this was going to be fun. I went on wikipedia and typed in France. ‘Oh my god.’ I sighed as the screen displayed loads of text. Half of it typical wikipedia rubbish. ‘Let me look.’ Luke said taking the mouse off me and typing ‘France facts’ into Google. ‘France facts for kids’ was the first link that appeared and he clicked on it. ‘This is probably more our speed.’ He laughed. I laughed too.

We had eventually found some decent information and put it into our presentation. Every so often I kept sneaking sideways glances at Luke. I couldn’t stop looking at him. A few minutes later the bell rang and everyone picked up their stuff and started to leave. ‘You need to finish these projects by next lesson.’ I quickly checked my timetable. Our next geography lesson was Monday so we had 4 days left to finish our project.

Me and Savannah were making our way to Tamzin’s car so we could go for coffee. Obviously. ‘How much of your project have you got done?’ I asked.

‘Oh, we’ve done. Just copy and pasted it all from wikipedia.’ Savannah replied.

‘Have fun attempting to read your work when we have to present them.’ I laughed.

‘Shit, I didn’t think of that.’ Vannie replied looking slightly worried.’Ugh whatever, I’ll just blame it on Thomas, I mean he gets the worst grades in our class anyway. Mr Asher will be expecting him to drag my grade down.’

‘Vannie it’s Geography. It’s your best class! Are you really just going to let it drag your grade down?’ I inquired.

‘Ugh. I guess I’ll have to change it myself since I know Thomas won’t do any more work. His brain was practically short circuiting when he hit copy and paste.’ We both laughed.

We were in Tamzin’s car and I felt my phone vibrate against my leg. I pulled it out of my jeans pocket and looked at the screen.

1 new friend request.

I tapped the screen to see who it was from.

Luke Henderson

I looked up and saw that Courtney was on her phone. I couldn’t accept it now since it would result in me being questioned by Courtney literally the whole time we would be getting coffee. Since she’s a bit of a stalker when it comes to Facebook really. She notices when any of us accept a friend request or like a picture or literally do anything. At least I have the excuse of the Geography project when she starts to interrogate me.
