Penny Peterson was sitting in Ms. Hughes's homeroom. She was staring at the door, waiting for Sherman Peabody to enter. Yes, all though Sherman didn't know it, Penny had strong feelings for him. The wall on the clock said 8:18. Only two minutes until the bell would ring. She watched Sherman enter the room and she felt her heart melt. His red hair, his brown eyes hidden behind rather large glasses. Okay, so maybe the size of his glasses were a turn off, but the other than that... Sherman was flawless. What she wouldn't give to take their relationship to a more passionate level.
Sherman felt his face flush as soon he saw Penny. There she was, sitting in the second seat of the third. Her blond hair, her beautiful blue eyes. Just looking at her made Sherman's heart feel like it was beating a thousand times per second. He put his backpack and lunch box by his desk and slowly walked to Penny's desk. "H-Hey Penny" he said. She looked up from her book."Oh hey Sherman."
Sherman took a deep breath. "Do you any plans for tonight?" Penny shook her head. "Why?"
"I was wondering if you would like to go out with me." Penny frowned. "You mean like on a date?" Sherman nodded. "Well, it's kind of short notice, but sure. Where and what time?"
Sherman could feel fireworks going off inside his chest. "Meet me at my apartment at 7:30."
