Now You See Me

The Way You Make Me Feel

Emma walked towards her English class as she pulled on her backpack. It was just too damn heavy.

EMMA! She heard from behind her. She turned around and smiled when she saw Henry approaching her.

Hey. She said when he got to her.

He smiled back at her as he leaned down for a kiss, his lips were just about to touch hers when he felt her pushing him gently with her hand.

He looked at her confused, "Is everything ok?"

She nodded, "Yeah. Just, umm...no PDA."

Why? he laughed.

"Kyle--"

I thought you weren't comparing our relationship to the way it was with him. Henry sighed.

"I am. I am done comparing our relationship to mine and Kyle's. But I don't want us to be anything like the way I was with him. Emma explained worrying he wouldn't understand.

You do know that you and Kyle aren't the only couple who kissed in public? He questioned.

Emma breathed looking down to her feet.

Look. He lifted her face gently with his hand. It's fine. You don't want to kiss in public, we won't. Whatever you want."

Really? She asked surprised. He nodded. "And you're not mad?"

"Mad? Why would I be mad?"

"Because most guys would be upset that they can't get what they want."

Henry chuckled, "I don't mind and I'm not mad. Now, get to class."

Emma smiled and gave him a small peck. "Thanks, Henry... for everything."

He looked after her as she entered her classroom.

In class

My class. Mr. T (Mr. Thompson) smiled when the bell rang. "I hope you had a great day off yesterday while I was here working. I also hope that you didn't forget to do the assigned reading. A few mumbles were heard. "I know you hope so too considering this pop quiz should either help their grade or hurt it." Mr. T lifted up a stack of quizzes as he heard the groans.

Mr. T passed out the quizzes as the class started to answer the questions. Emma didn't even have to stop to think about any of the ten open-ended questions as she completed them all perfectly. She read over her answers several times before getting up and handing the quiz to Mr. T just as April did the same.

Could you grade the quizzes now? April requested.

Mr. T laughed, "Sure."

Emma looked at April and remained standing while Mr. T was grading April's quiz. "And you don't mind for Emma to see what you got?"

Not at all. April said.

And Emma? He asked still not looking up.

I don't mind. Emma replied.

They stood there in silence as Mr. T continued to grade the quiz.

"19' he showed April her quiz was scored out of 20.

What, why? She took the quiz and looked it over as Mr. T started grading Emma's.

Question #7. You needed to explain further. Mr. T said.

April looked up from her quiz to Emma and then to Emma's quiz.

How many times did you read the chapter, Emma? Mr. T laughed.

Twice. Emma blushed.

"Well, I would give you extra credit but since I can't a full 20/20. he showed her the quiz.
