Alicia thought twice about her answer to Josh's text message. Should she play innocent or flirtatious? Maybe she should try not to act too desperate. Ah!
Alicia: y??
As Mr.Myner continued with his lesson about Mt.Vesuvius, Alicia waited for Josh's response.
Josh: lets go 2 the movies
As Alicia read this, she spat out her gum in surprise and excitement. Mr.Myner stopped drawing the economy scale of Italy and turned around to face the unwelcomed noise.
"Ms. Rivera. Is there something you would like to share with the rest of the class?" He placed his glasses on top of his head and starting tapping his left foot. Everyone looked at Alicia, wondering what she might do.
"The economy scale is totally wrong! My daddy says communism is higher in power and more advanced and extreme, therefore, since scales are labeled from high to low, your scale is backwards and that will just make the rest of the class imagine the economical ranking in the wrong way." Afterwards she did a flip of her hair and gave Mr.Myner a "what now?" look, with an angelic smile. Her quick thinking was very helpful.
Mr. Myner stared at Alicia for 5 seconds. "You're right." He sighed as if beaten by a one year old in a spelling game. He turned around and changed the scale and continued his lesson. Massie, Dylan, Kristen, and Claire gave Alicia and appraising look. Alicia winked, then returned to her phone.
Alicia: who else is coming?
3 seconds later she received his response.
Josh: no1 else.
Ehmygawd!! Was this actually happening?
Josh: amc 7
Alicia felt as if little people were bungee jumping in her stomach. She didn't respond shortly after because she was too busy daydreaming. Josh texted again.
Josh: please?
Alicia smiled. He wasn't afraid to play desperate. It was so cute. She decided to wait and make him suffer.
Alicia: hmmmm..
Josh: pretty please?
Alicia: done.
Alicia couldn't wait to tell her friends in person. As Mr.Myner was finishing up his lesson, Alicia felt her phone vibrating. She checked it right before the bell rang.
Josh:
As she told her friends the story, they all bounced up and down and told her how happy they were for her.
