Author's Note.
Hi. I wanted to write a light story between Archie and Atlanta.
Archie and Atlanta are in history class while passing notes back and forth.
Who's who: Archie's handwriting. Atlanta's handwriting.
Monday
He's going to ask me out. I know it.
Who?
Arch, this note is meant for Theresa. Pass it to her.
No.
Don't be a meanie, Arch. Just pass it.
No. So who's going to ask you out?
Tuesday
We hung out.
No, we didn't. You were out all night.
Archie, this is also for Theresa. She's not happy that you're not passing my notes.
She looks pissed. Let Jay handle that.
You can be such a jerk, Arch.
I know. It's amazing.
How are we even friends?
Wednesday
You didn't reply back.
Me? Or Theresa?
YOU!
Why does it even matter?
You're my friend.
And you were mad at me yesterday.
So how's your love life?
Great. Yours?
Just as great. Couldn't be any better.
Thursday
I heard you and Nelly broke up. Is it true?
What you heard is true.
Poor Nelly. Why did you two break up?
Nothing concerning you.
I'm just curious. You seem pretty chill. Does she mean nothing to you?
Friday
Archie? Are you ever going to speak to me again?
Monday
I'm not mad at you. Just shocked, that's all.
Hey, look. It's Mr. Arch finally starting the note for once.
Why are you shocked?
You think that my relationship with Nelly means nothing.
Does it mean anything?
We dated for over a year... of course it does mean something.
I just thought that guys were normally insensitive.
the one who breaks up with the girl anyway.
It hurts a guy just as much... guys tend to mask their feelings.
We're suppose to be macho men.
Well, macho man... tell me, why'd you two break up.
People change, grow up... grow apart.
I'm sorry for everything that happened.
We weren't meant to be. What about you and Geoff?
You know about him?
It's not that hard to figure out things about you two.
Theresa gossips a lot with me. You told her we passed notes in this class,
so now I'm wasting post-it notes passing notes to you in History and her in English AP.
Poor you.
Tuesday
Shit. I wasted a lot of post-its yesterday.
You started the note passing again? Wow!
Haha, very funny. How are you and Geoff?
I don't know, but he knows we're passing notes.
So?
He doesn't want me too anymore. He says it gives me a bad rep.
We're friends. He knows that, doesn't he? We live in the same brownstone too.
Yeah, but you know him. He's like that. He doesn't trust you, Arch.
So this is over?
Wednesday
Hey.
I told you that I'm not writing to you anymore, Arch.
C'mon. Theresa just told me...
What a gossip queen. She and Neil could rule the school gossiping.
Hah. But I heard you two broke up.
In less than a week thanks to you.
It's my fault? How the hell is it my fault?
We're done as friends.
But we live together!
Thursday
Talk to me, please? I'm getting used to this so much.
I have so much post-it notes stuffed in my binder.
Go away, Arch. Leave me alone.
Friday
You need some cheering up.
I do not!
YES YOU DO.
I DO NOT!
YES, YOU DO!
Whatever.
I'm taking you to the skate park. You love skateboarding.
Monday
That was a fun weekend.
Do you want to go to the movies tonight?
So you could gawk at your ex? I know she works there Arch.
No.
Tuesday
I heard what happened last night with you and Neil.
What!
Yea. Everyone heard about it.
Freaking Neil.
Hey, If I saw my ex dating some jerk I hate, I would kick the jerk's ass too.
But who told you?
Odie and Herry. They heard it from Jay who heard it from his girlfriend who heard it from Neil.
You kicked his ass for trash talking you.
Shit. Still, I got banned from the theaters. Happy?
No Arch. I'm really sorry.
Wednesday
Theresa says you like me.
Obviously, she's wrong.
She says that she got a vision that we'll be kissing soon.
Well, she's wrong.
She says that there's hints from the notes you guys passed... and did you just give her the death glare?
No. And I don't like you.
Liar.
Thursday
Have you finished your assignment on Greek lit?
I have it next with Theresa and I need help.
Mr. Closeted Poet can't do Greek lit? Hah!
I was too busy...
Doing...? What made you so busy that you couldn't do your assignment.
Oh, you'll see.
Friday
Theresa's right. You do like me.
Shut up.
I saw what you did that made you fail your Greek Lit assignment.
I didn't fail it. I got a C-
That's failing in my books. God, Archie... can't you focus more on school?
Hah. Then why don't you get Neil to stop focusing on his face?
Well- hey... you changed the subject.
Actually, you did. Check the note if you want.
Well, you know I like you. I was curious why you didn't ask me out.
But I did. I did and you said no.
No you didn't.
I asked you out to the movies.
I thought...
Never let your thoughts get to you, Atlanta.
DID YOU JUST KISSED ME? Hah, Geoff saw us.
Don't gloat about it. I like you Atlanta. That's why I kissed you.
And that sucker got what he deserved. He broke up with you. It's his lost.
Ha. Theresa's right about you liking me.
She's looking at us with a smug look right now.
Hey. I just kissed you. Why aren't you swooning over my kiss?
Don't get cocky, mister.
Author's comment.
I got bored. I decided to write a note-passing story between Archie and Atlanta.
Why is Theresa, who's a grade older then them, in their class? She's the teacher's assistant. Her desk is close to Archie..
And Archie and Atlanta are both really great in English, which is why they've got bumped up a level for English and is why Archie's in Theresa's English class.
