"Happy Days" pt. 4
Author's Note: I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to write a review. I really appreciate it. You have no idea how much they've helped me with writing this chapter. Please continue to R/R.
Also I'm really sorry about how short the chapters are. I'm really busy & I don't do well with writing long chapters.
One last thing before I continue on with the story. I just wanted to clear afew things up. By the end of the story the following couples will be together (Max/Liz, Michael/Maria, Tess/Kyle, and Isabel/Alex.) None of them are together right now. The following characters are popular. (Max, Isabel, Maria, Tess, and Alex) The following are not popular (Kyle, Michael, and Liz.) Ok, I hope that helped a little. Now onto the story.
Isabel leaned against some random locker waiting for Tess to get out of class. Bored, Isabel took a mirror out of her purse to check her makeup. This was definitely one of those situations where she could use her time wisely. She reached into her purse to get some lip gloss out. "Strawberry is much better…" she murmured to herself as she let the grape lip gloss fall to the bottom of the Kate Spade bag she carried. She quickly applied the pink, shimmering gloss to her lips. Once again she checked her reflection. "Ya my time is definitely being used wisely," she thought to herself just as she spotted Tess coming out of the room. "So tell me. Why were you being kept in there so long?!" Isabel urgently asked as she and Tess began walking down the hall. "I don't know exactly. It was something about teaming up with this guy to paint murals on the wall in C Building. It was no biggie." She shrugged to emphasize her point. "So who is the guy you're gonna work with?" Isabel asked wondering if she should be jealous or not. Tess shrugged yet again. "Some guy named Kyle." "Kyle Princeton?" Isabel asked. "No, God knows if I was working with Kyle Princeton, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you right now. I think he's Kyle Valentine or something like that. Isabel thought for a minute. She knew that name sounded familiar to her. She just couldn't figure out where she'd heard it before. Suddenly it came to her. "Tess, the Kyle you're gonna work with is one of the poor people from the bad side of town. He's in my bio class…I think." "Oh." Tess said sadness evident in her voice.
Alex scanned the packed lunch room. Where were all of his friends? Suddenly he remembered that Max was supposed to be helping the new girl catch up in bio or something like that. A frown became present on Alex's face. Max was his best friend, and now he didn't know who to sit with. Suddenly he spotted a guy on the team. Alex started across the room at a fast pace hoping to not loose sight of James, his teammate. Now watching where he was going, he ran into someone. "Sorry.." he mumbled not bothering to look at the person he ran into. He kept on walking until he realized someone was calling his name. He recognized that voice. Turning around, he saw a slightly agitated Isabel Evans standing afew feet away. He realized that it was Isabel Evans he had run into. "Shit…" He murmered to himself. Of all the people to run into, why her?
"Okay so you look at the rings in the stem to see if it's a monocot or dicot…right?" Liz asked Max. Max nodded. "Ya that's all there is to it. If for some reason you can't tell by the stem, look at the number of petals." She nodded. This was easy. It wouldn't take her long to catch up. She didn't mind spending her lunch time working on biology though, especially not since the teacher designated Max to help her. She was grateful for whatever being helped to make Max get good grades in bio thus having him be told to help her catch up. "Okay, well I think you're caught up on that lab." Max said afew minutes later when Liz had completed the worksheet. Liz nodded. "Thanks, Max." He smiled. "No problem." She reached out and touched his arm. "No, I seriously mean it. I mean, I'm sure there are other ways you'd rather spend your lunch time than helping me make up class work." He for some reason didn't pull away. He liked the feel of her hand lying gently on his arm. "No, it seriously ok." He finally said. She smiled at him indicating the conversation was over, and he could leave. However neither one of them made any move to exit the room.
