Homework.
Jeff walked to his next class, still a little confused about his kiss with Britta. He didn't know whether he should be happy that he finally got to kiss her or sad that it meant nothing. Did it mean nothing? Preoccupied with his own thoughts he barely noticed that he nearly walked right into Annie. A soaking wet Annie.
"What happened to you?" He asked staring down at the shivering girl with a towel wrapped around her shoulders.
"I swam in a lake" She answered, clearly not happy about it.
"Why?"
"It's our accounting homework."
Jeff stifled a laugh.
"Annie, you don't have to take that homework seriously. It's a blow-off class."
"Not doing homework? Jeff that's ridiculous."
"No, what's ridiculous is that you swam in a lake because your accounting teacher told you to." He noticed hem of her skirt dripping water and added, "and in your clothes no less."
"Troy thought it was a good idea" Annie mumbled. And then it all made sense.
"Did your homework with Troy, huh?"
She nodded.
"Did you tell him you love him?"
Annie gave him a panicked look and Jeff thought he'd never seen anyone look more like a dear in the headlights than she did at that moment. It didn't help that she had Bambi eyes.
"You know, 'cos it's part of your homework" He said quickly and she immediately calmed down.
"Um, no, I never got around to it" She said staring at the floor. Jeff pitied her a little. How could he not, when she was looking all sad and wet.
"How about we go get you some dry clothes" He offered extending his arm for her to link with. She smiled sweetly and reached out but Jeff moved his arm away quickly.
"Forgot you were wet, and well, this is new."
Annie looked slightly disappointed and Jeff immediately felt guilty. He took her hand instead and smiled at her.
"It's not new skin" he said to her questioning look. She smiled.
"I love you Jeff" She said. And Jeff ignored the little jump in his stomach because it was nothing. It was just her doing her homework. The homework he was very behind on and should probably start on as soon as possible.
"I love you too."
