September 22nd

When Skye and Levi met up in chemistry class the next day, they were met with praise from their teacher once they walked into the room. They looked at each other in shock as they set their backpacks down, being told that their teacher was impressed by how well they work together. This comment from their teacher was definitely going to reflect their grade, but Skye was too excited that she was giving off a good impression.

"Wow, go us!" Skye beamed, giving Levi a high five.

"Right?" Levi high fived back. "Imagine what our grade is!"

"Ah, shit." She said a bit too loudly, groaning as she sat down in her seat and not even realizing she just cursed in front of her teacher out loud.

"Language, Ms. Simmons!" He yelled out, making Skye grow embarrassed as everyone in the class fell silent and immediately stared at her like a shark eyeing its prey.

"Sorry!" She replied, then turned to Levi in humiliation. "Oh my god, that's never happened to me before."

"Ooo, good girl gone bad." Levi teased, wiggling his eyebrows jokingly.

"Shut up!" Skye whisper yelled.

As the class went back to its usual chatter, Skye and Levi went back and forth at each other in their seats with Levi being the typical tease and Skye not tolerating it. But, class had to start, and their chemistry teacher wasn't just going to let everyone chat all period. "Class! Shall we get started?"

Everyone whipped their heads to the front of the class, murmuring "yes" and getting out their supplies. Skye and Levi did the same, but once Skye got out everything she needed, she hit Levi's side from under the table (but didn't receive any sort of vocal reaction) then grabbed her pencil like nothing happened and slouched into her chair with her binder sitting on her lap.

"You're gonna pay for this." She whispered.

Later in the day, Skye found Levi walking towards her in the halls come lunchtime, then the two walked up to each other outside the cafeteria doors, letting all the passing students walk by them as they stood in the middle of the hall for a brief moment.

"Hey, sweaty," Skye said, followed by a snicker.

"Hey," Levi said out of breath. Like he was every day after gym, he was sweaty from all the exercise. "Gym class totally beat my ass today."

"Ooo, what game do they have planned?" She asked, knowing all the gym classes would be doing the same thing all day.

"Volleyball." He replied.

"Dammit." Skye cursed under her breath. "I was hoping for badminton."

"I thought you hated sports?" Levi raised an eyebrow. While Skye hated sports with a passion and only willingly watched sports during the winter and summer Olympics, she had a secret love for badminton and gave it her best shot when given the opportunity. Actually, she and Nikki once bought a cheap set of birdies racquets at Walmart and played in Skye's backyard when the weather was nice, but obviously, they don't do that anymore. Plus, there was no way Skye would ask her dad to play with her. It would be way too embarrassing to have her neighbors witness that.
