SUE ELLEN'S PERSPECTIVE
Sue Ellen woke up that morning not sure of what she wanted to do. She had decided she was going to ignore Arthur until she knew what she wanted to do. Arthur hadn't been mean to her since he had slapped her on her butt… In fact he was trying to be nice to her and apologize. She just wanted him to work for it and to show him he couldn't always just do something and apologize and then everything is automatically ok… But she would forgive him in time.
Sue Ellen's mom drove her to school. Sue Ellen went to Class. Arthur was there already with a couple other students including Buster who he was talking with. He looked up as Sue Ellen and she looked away and sat down still giving Arthur the silent treatment. All the students arrived and Mr Ratburn was starting his class by calling the roll. Then he started him class and the topic shocked Sue Ellen. It was about relationships and about boyfriends and girlfriends. It turned out Buster had written an essay about Bionic Bunny and Ms Mystique and Mr Ratburn found it a good topic to talk about. Mr Ratburn talked about how it was ok to look but that touching should not unless it's consensual which meant that Arthur should have asked her rather then just touching her… which she knew already.
Sue Ellen was curious and looked back at Arthur. He wasn't looking at her but a second later he turned to her and she freaked out a bit and quickly looked away. She was feeling self conscious now and was wondering what Arthur was thinking now that she had looked back at him.
It was the end of class now and Sue Ellen had learned a bit from the class today. She was no longer feeling mortified about having looked at Arthur earlier. Sue Ellen wanted to head out and think a bit so she left class. As she was going she noticed Arthur following her. She walked a bit faster and looked around, Arthur was walking off in the other direction with his head down. For some reason Sue Ellen felt bad for him and she did something she though she might regret. She said "Arth..' but stopped. Did she really want to talk with him and … did she want to be his girlfriend? Arthur had turned around and was looking at her. He started walking towards her slowly. She froze a bit and looked down. She though that maybe she shouldn't have done that.
Arthur came up and said "Hi" so she said "Hi" too. She didn't know what to say or do but she heard Arthur apologize again and then he told her that he would understand if she didn't ever want to be his friend any longer. She instantly felt very sad. Arthur had made her upset but her anger was waning off and she realized how much she would miss him if she and he no longer talked or say each other. In fact now that she thought about it she missed talking with him the past few days but was too upset and confused to know it until just now. Then she made up her mind. She forgave Arthur and she told him that. She asked him if he wanted her as a girlfriend and he said yes. So she gave in finally and said that she would give Arthur a chance. Sue Ellen now had a boyfriend. And Arthur now had her as a girlfriend. Sue Ellen didn't know exactly what that meant or what would happen or if they would kiss but she was going to see what happens.
