"Making Up"

"What's your problem, Todd?"
The whole classroom was silent, all eyes directed at him and Maurecia and their current spat. Wether it was a lover's quarrel or not, he didn't know. He preferred not to label it anything. He had simply said the wrong thing at the wrong time. But, honestly, he was tired of her always looming over his bench, doodling hearts on his chair and constantly pestering him while he tried to study. Why couldn't she understand?
"M..." He began, hesitating slightly as to gain the courage to continue. He furrowed his brow. "My problem!"
His retort was not as much a question as it was an answer as his index finger moved itself to Maurecia's nose.
"My problem is YOU, Maurecia!" Yes, finally, I said it! "Quit bothering me all the time! I keep telling you over and over but you nev-"
Slap!
She swatted his hand away and pointed her finger at his nose instead, cutting him off mid-sentence. But instead of a clever and/or spiteful comeback, she simply arched an eyebrow as she smiled an oddly and eerily content smile, one that made him falter slightly.
"Oh yeah...?" she asked, her voice with a playful tone to it.
The students, including and especially Miss Jewls, ooh-ed. Todd had to admit he felt a sweat-drop trickle down his cheek.
"...'Oh yeah', what?" He managed to force out between gulps.
"You can't fool me Todd. I know you want to make up with me."
Todd noticed he'd been holding his breath awaiting something horrible, but now he felt the air go out of him, his mind deflating as this was not at all what he had expected her to say. Where was the flying fist of tough love?
"Huh?" Todd rubbed his left arm a little, softening his facial features.
She actually doesn't want to fight?
"You... you mean you're not going to punch me and-" he stopped. He better not put any ideas in her head.
Moving his hand from his arm and to the back of his neck he smiled and said, "Of course I wanna make up! I mean, as long as you understand me and I understand you I'm perfec- Mmmpf!"
The class watched as Maurecia pounced Todd to the floor with a very eager make up kiss. Dana and Jenny cheered and the three Erics applauded at this beautiful scene. The rest of the class whistled here and there and John even spun around in the air. Todd simply flailed on the ground as Maurecia continued "making up".
"Well, class." Miss Jewls said and clapped her hands twice, causing all but two students to turn their attention to her. "I think that pretty much wraps up biology lesson for the rest of the week. You all get an A+! Excellent work!"
Miss Jewls made two thumbs up, and the class cheered.
