Chapter 7:
Monday morning, 1st period:
"Class, this is Michael Corinthos. He'll be in this class from now on. Michael, there's an empty seat behind Alexis. You can sit there. Alexis, raise your hand so he knows who you are." Alexis did as the teacher told her.
Sonny walked over to his seat and sat down.
"What are you doing in this class? You're not taking this class this year. You're supposed to be taking Sequential II. This is III."
"Wrong. I failed II last year, so they made me double up. I'm taking both. Hey, you got an extra pencil?"
Alexis rolled her eyes. She wordlessly took out a pencil and passed it back.
"Thanks. You got paper too?"
Alexis sighed. She opened her binder, took out a few sheets of looseleaf and passed it back.
"Don't you bring your school supplies?"
"I left my binder in the office over the weekend and I didn't have a chance to get it."
".And this is how you make a sine and cosine graph. A sine graph is supposed to look like a snake and a cosine graph is supposed to look like a cup. Graph y=2 sin x from 0 to 2 pi. Raise your hand if you need help. "
Alexis finished the problem in 3 minutes. Sonny, on the other hand, was struggling with it.
"Very good, Alexis. That's a great looking graph. Now, do me a favor and help Michael with it."
"Yes, ma'am. " The teacher walked away and went to check on other students' work.
Alexis took her chair and dragged it next to Sonny.
"'Yes, ma'am.'" He mocked.
"Shut up. Now, focus on this. Where's your calculator?"
"Sh*t, I knew there was something I left at home."
"No problem, we'll just use mine." She grabbed her calculator off her desk. "Now, this is what you do. First, you make a chart. It's supposed to look like this." She took her paper and showed it to him.
"Okay, but how do you get those numbers?" He pointed to the last column.
"That's where you use the calculator. Let's say that you're looking for 2 sin (0). You press '0' on the calculator, then you press sin. Then, you multiply that answer by 2 and that's the answer. You do the same for the rest of them."
"Ohhh."
"Isn't that easy?"
"Now I get it."
"Good." Alexis brought her chair back to her desk.
Five minutes later, the bell rang.
"Class, do homework # 20 on the homework sheet. Michael, please come up to my desk. I forgot to give you the homework sheet. Oh, wait, class. I have your tests from Friday." The class went up to her desk.
"Homework sheet?" Sonny mouthed.
"Sh*t, I was hoping that she hadn't graded those tests yet. I know I did bad on it."
"Michael, here's the homework sheet. Do homework 20 for tonight. And Alexis, here's your test."
Sonny peered over her shoulder. "What do you mean you did bad, Lex? You got a 96."
"I'm sure someone got 100. 96 isn't good enough."
"Stop complaining. You did great. I'd be happy to get a 96. All I get are 46s."
Alexis laughed. "I guess you're right. Come on."
"Hey, Sonny."
"Carly."
Alexis didn't want to be around her. "I'll see you 7th period, Sonny. I got to get to Spanish."
Sonny took Carly aside.
"I thought I made it clear on Friday. I'm not interested in you."
"I know, but if I want something bad enough, I don't give up until I get it."
"How many times and in how many ways do I have to tell you? Leave me alone!"
"Fine!" She already had a plan forming in her little blonde head. She was going to get Sonny Corinthos no matter what it took.
