This is a preview for a story I'm working on. You guys can tell me if you want me to continue or not. My friends bet me 20 bucks I couldn't make this work. The beginnings a little boring but remember people this is Toby. Thanks for all the reviews for my other stories.
I looked over at her. I was in the computer lab at Degrassi. JT was off with Liberty so I had a lot of time to myself. She was across the room from me on the computer. I heard she's about to be stripped of her position. So she wants to get her grades up. I've never really felt like this before. Sure Emma but that was more of a crush. This was...I don't know. I think that's the first time I've ever said that. 'I don't know' is so unlike me. I was typing furiously on advanced math work that I wasn't paying much attention to. I noticed I was stuck. I couldn't get a solution with a real number. I don't remember ever getting this stuck before. Maybe because I wasn't staring at a beautiful girl before. This girl was making me forget everything. I needed help with this math problem. JT and Liberty entered hand in hand.
"Hey Tobes!" JT called.
"Some of us are trying to work!" the girl who was the object of my desire hissed at us.
"Sorry..." Jt shrugged.
"How's the problem?" Liberty asked.
"Horrible," I laughed. "I'm completely lost."
"Toby Issacs not know the answer to a problem? Never!" JT joked.
"Be that as it may now I'm stuck!" I groaned rubbing my eyes. Liberty looked over my shoulder at my work. She was trying to help. She's horrible at math though. Everyone seems to forget she has dyscalculia.
"Well Tobes, lunch is almost over we go-" JT started until Liberty cut him off.
"Toby 2+2 is 4 not 22. I think that's your mistake." She pointed. She was right. I had forgotten to type the addition sign. Which left me with 224. I thought it was a typo and I just left 22 there alone.
"Oh," I quickly fixed it. The problem made sense now. How could I have been so stupid? The bell sounded just as I hit print. JT and Liberty told me goodbye but before they did. JT told me I needed to talk to "mystery woman". I shook my head at the thought. I knew I would be late since it was about 15 pages long. It was better than my last one which was 34 pages with Duplex printing. The girl was still sitting there. That's right the soon to be receiver of my advances.
"Won't you be late?" I asked.
"Don't care." she muttered.
"Won't you get in trouble?" I asked.
"Who asked you?" she glared at me.
"I-I-I...was...j-j-j-just trying to help..." I said the end was practically a whisper.
Her gaze softened at my stuttering. "Oh." was all she said.
She stood up just as the printer printed page 15. "Later Issacs." she told me. I smiled since she normally ignores me.
"Toby. My names Toby." I told her.
"Later Issacs." she said rolling her eyes at me. The girl I was practically in love with left the lab. I grabbed my 15 page math problem. I, Toby Issacs, liked one of the people that I shouldn't...
"Bye Alex." I whispered as she disappeared around the corner.
Alex Nunez.
