3. Don't Mess With The Queen

Walking out of class Sabrina has got a trail full of Mick Schumacher.

"So I was thinking that we could meet after school, around five o'clock, maybe we could start planning then.

"Five o'clock? No can do" She says. "My mother doesn't get off work until six, so someone has to pick up my little brother from school."

"Okay, how about Tuesday?"

"Tomorrow? Alright, tomorrow, five o'clock."

"Cool, meet me in the library."

Sabrina doesn't share any other classes with Mick, so this was where they parted, his locker being on the other end of the school.

Tuesday came around, however Mick never did. She had been waiting for an hour before figuring out that he would be a no show. It wasn't until the very next day she received an explanation.

Without any luck he had been trying to get her attention in class, she was ignoring him. He had to wait until the end of the lesson to catch her on the way out.

"I'm sorry, I totally forgot." He said.

"You had me waiting around for you like an idiot." Her pace was fast, he was struggling to keep up.

"I know and I'm sorry, I came an half hour early and so I figured I'd be waiting around for you, I went to the field to kick some balls and out of the blue some of my friends showed up. It was a full on game by the time I realized that I was two hours late."

Sabrina stops abruptly, Mick almost running into her back. "Look I don't want to be doing this project either, but If I rearrange my schedule for you I expect you to at least do the same."

Mick sighs, "I know and I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you if you meet me tonight."

Her eyebrow rises with interest "How?"

Mick backs away as he is headed towards another direction, "Don't worry about it, just make sure to be at Royal Burger, five o'clock tonight"

As he turns around and walks away, Sabrina can't help but to smile.

"Bring your biology book!" His voice is heard shouting down the hallway.

Five o'clock at Royal Burger, Mick is left staring at his watch, waiting for Sabrina who was never meant to show up.

"Now you know how it feels." She leans over and whispers during their next day in class.

He rolls his eyes. "Can't believe you made me go through all of that just to teach me a lesson."

"Don't mess with the queen." She mumbles.

The bell rings and for the third time this week Mick is trailing Sabrina down the hallway, man she could walk fast.

"Fine you win, lesson learned. I say five o'clock tonight at my house, I'll even wait for you after school so I can drive both of us home, that way we are both guaranteed to show up." He says this slightly amused.

"Sorry, can't, my mother is working late again."

Mick is left standing as Sabrina moves on,

"What about the project?" He shouts.

"Should have thought of that last Tuesday!"

He is left sighing hopelessly
