Here's chapter four, sorry about how short it is, next one is going to be longer and more fun I promise, enjoy and if you'd like to review
Theodore was sure that Mr. Anderson was trying to teach something important but he couldn't concentrate on it. It was Monday and he was going to get to see her for the first time in two days, needless to say he was restless.
He watched the clock tick, it read 12:29. Only one minute to go till lunch, Theodore was sure that this was one of the longest minutes in his life. 55, 56, 57, 58, 59... Oh come on! Theodore thought to himself sure that seconds didn't take this long.
The bell rang and Theodore rushed for the door of his math class. "Don't rush Mr. Seville, stop and smell the flowers every now and again", Mr. Anderson suggested as Theodore reached the door. Theodore let out a sigh "I'm sorry sir, I'll slow down", Theodore finished his sentence and walked out the door and headed for the lunch room.
As Theodore reached to doorway to the lunch room he let out a sigh, Jeanette wasn't sitting alone today, the rest of the gang had already taken their respective seats. Aw man... Theodore thought to himself as he slowly made his way to the table.
"Hello everyone", Theodore said as he sat across from Jeanette, who looked up from her book and smiled at him, "Hello Theo", she said as she closed her book and sat it down on the table. "How was your weekend?", Theodore asked her with a warm smile as he slid her a small plastic box. "It was okay, and yours?", she replied. " It was good", Theodore answer. "What this?", she asked looking at the box. "This is lunch", Theodore said with a small chuckle, "Tough to be more specific its potato salad." Jeanette smiled at him, "Thank you", she reached down to take it as she did her hand brushed his and she felt her cheeks begin to warm, there eyes met, they stared into each others eyes for a few moments but were interrupted by Brittany clearing her throat. "So... are you two like... together now?", she asked looking at them with a eyebrow raised, "Brittany!", Eleanor said giving her sister a stony look, "Well are you?", Alvin chimed in, Eleanor shot him a glare as well."I...uh...", Jeanette stuttered as she tried to answer, she looked to Theodore with a nervous look in her eyes. Theodore took a deep breath then he took hold of Jeanette's hand, "I... yes we are", he looked into Jeanette's eyes hoping he had said the right thing. Jeanette smiled at him and let out the breath she had been holding.
Brittany smiled, "Good, now back to the subject of what the theme for the spring dance is going to be, we've been put in charge and we only have three weeks to plan", Brittany said looking to the other five at the table as she spoke, "Any ideas?"
"We could go with a sock hop theme", Eleanor gave her suggestion ."No too "Retro" ", Brittany said looking to the others hoping for ideas, "What about you guys, anyone?", she spoke as she looked to the others. "How about... 90s dance club?", Alvin suggested. "Good... but not quite there", Brittany said resting her head on her hand trying to think.
The dance... how could I forget Theodore thought to himself I wonder..., "I think I've got one... how about a ball under the stars?", Theodore suggested.
"No... that's to... wait that's perfect, we could dim the lights in the gym and hang strings of lights from the ceiling", Brittany sat up straight as she talked, her eyes bright with ideas.
"Good idea Theo", Alvin said as he patted Theodore on the back, everyone nodded in agreement.
The bell rang and Brittany let out an annoyed groan, "Stupid short lunch period... lets meet up after school to start planning", Brittany said as they all made there way out of the lunch room.
"See you after school", Theodore said to Jeanette as they parted ways. Jeanette smiled and nodded, she turned and walked away with her sisters.
Theodore let out a sigh as he headed for his next class, Why do I have a feeling that these next few weeks are going to be hectic?, he thought to himself as he walked.
I wonder why Theodore feels that way... well I guess we'll just have to wait and find out right?
