On Monday their biology project had done well, Miss Chapman handing them a passing grade. Their modified version of the Vitruvian Man turned out great despite the little dents and small rips, caused by Sabrina's tossing and turning.
Looking ahead, pretending to pay attention to Miss Chapman's presentation, Sabrina felt Mick's gaze burn the side of her scalp. All morning he had his eyes on her, smiling devious, whenever she would give him the satisfaction by looking.
When the bell rang Sabrina was one of the first students to hurry out of the classroom.
"Hey!"
She sighs hearing Mick call her from behind.
He wears his innocent prince charming smile, catching up to her.
"Last time was fun, we should do it again sometime."
"Look, Mick." She sighs as she puts an end to their endless walking. "Last time was a one time thing, okay? Heat of the moment. You and I don't go together, I am Sabrina queen of the south and you are Mick Schumacher the soccer player, king of the flies. So let's just be mature about it and forget about the whole thing."
Mick is left standing, shoulders hung low, as he watches Sabrina move along, her head held high.
*******
She was a woman of her word, there wasn't to be another time. Eventually Mick moved on, his current girlfriend Laurie Maxwell, there to prove it. Although the memories of his "study buddy" seemed to almost fade away, they were often revived by the stolen glances they shared every other day in biology.
