You're the one that I want ch 7 - school days pt2
The next day I made my way to school; everything seemed fine. I got my schedule and read it. I had English after lunch again today. I sighed softly and made my way to home room.
I couldn't shake the feeling that Danny was going to do something. I would not have put it past him to try something. I sat in home room beside Frenchy, I looked over my schedule and I noticed that I had cheerleading practice at lunch.
Frenchy smiled at me "Morning Sandy, what's on your schedule today?" I looked at her and smiled "I have English again today" she looked at me with sympathy. I will just have to keep my head up and do the assignment.
The bell rang signalling the end of home room; we all made our way to our first classes. I had biology. I made my way to the class when Danny stopped me in the hallway. I had to stop myself from getting annoyed.
I smiled politely "Hello Danny, can I help you with something?" he looked at me "Yeah, about this assignment; I'm sure you weren't expecting to be partnered with me on this" I looked at him "It's fine don't worry about it"
He nodded and thanked me; he left me in the hallway, I made my way to my class and took my seat. Mr Malloy called our names and then he explained today's topic. We would be learning about the development of natural formations.
The class went by fast. Class was dismissed and I spotted Tom in the hallway; he greeted me and asked if I was excited about our date tomorrow, I nodded. I knew that I had made the right decision in taking Tom up on his offer. My parents both liked him and Tom respected my father.
My next few classes went by slowly. Before I knew it, it was lunch time and I met Patty and the rest of the cheerleaders. We talked about doing a new routine. We spent lunch going over the routine until it was time to go back to class.
I made my way to my English class. I made my way in and noticed that the seats had been joined together; this meant that I had to sit beside Danny for this lesson. I sat down and took out my books.
Danny came in a few minutes later and sat down beside me; he smiled at me. I tried to ignore it as I didn't want to lead him on. I decided to smile back in order to be polite.
Mrs Anderson explained that we would be starting our assignments today in class and then we would be doing some individual work at home using text books and library books to gather information.
Our assignments were to be written about Shakespeare, we could do a five page essay on any Shakespeare play we wanted. I turned to Danny "Any preferences?" hs shook his head "No not really, you can choose if you want?" I nodded.
We had to make notes in class and then expand on them at home. I had a feeling that I would probably have to do more of the work. As from what I have been told Danny doesn't like doing anything that doesn't involve cars, his hair or his looks.
I didn't mind; the extra work would help keep me distracted from certain things. The lesson began. I opened the text book to the correct page.
I chose A Mid Summers Night Dream. I began to write down key words that would help structure the sentences in the essay when I needed them. Danny asked what I was doing, I explained "I am writing down key words that will help explain the essay better and that will make the key elements of the essay stand out which in turn will give us a good chance of getting a decent grade"
He nodded "You're very smart Sandy, I wish I was nearly as smart as you are" I smiled softly "You are Danny, you just need a little encouragement that's all" he nodded and he began taking notes.
We worked quite well together. I was fairly certain that we would do good on this assignment. The rest of the class went by and then it was time to head to the next class. Danny thanked me for helping him in English and I smiled "You're welcome"
I made my way to my next class. I know it might seem like Danny and I are flirting but we aren't. I am just being friendly and besides I am seeing Tom and although it is not serious I am not one to cheat. I don't believe in ruining a relationship for nothing.
I just hope that Danny sees it that way too. As I don't want to give him the wrong impression. Besides it's just one class. Everything will go back to normal once this assignment is over tomorrow. I will never have to worry about working with Danny again.
I just hope that tomorrow is a better day than today was.
