"Go!" I hissed pushing Jessica towards Will's locker. She clutched her locker door so hard her fingers turned white.
"I can't." She said feebly.
"Can't you?" I hedged. Once more I shoved her towards Will. Her face was a mask of terror but she went the rest of the way herself.
"HI" She said.
Will lifted his head from his motorbike magazine. "Yo, did you want something?"
Jessica started twirling her hair round and round her finger. (A nervous gesture.) "Yes." She replied. "I was wondering if you wanted to go to the dance with me?" the sentence came out in a whoosh and for a second I thought he never understood but he put away his magazine.
"I guess," He answered.
Jessica' smile grew, and grew till she glowed. "Yeah, so pick me up at seven o'clock tomorrow tonight, ok?"
He shrugged. "Sure."
Jessica put her hair back in place. "Oh yeah. The gangs getting together at four o'clock tomorrow for a little before party at 'I scream' wanna come?"
He shrugged again. "Sure."
Jessica flashed a smile. Then she bounced (not really BOUNCED) away. "Yes!" she yelled giving me a high five.
"Come on," I added. "Its lunch time." Conner caught up with us half way. "Hey." He said giving me a small kiss.
Jessica backed away. "I'll meet you there." She told me then was off.
"Hey you." I said.
Conner grabbed my arm and pulled me into a secluded corner of the hall. "I was heading out for lunch and a then the movies. Wanna come?"
I narrowed my eyes. "You won't have enough time to see the whole movie unless-."
Conner cut me off. "Unless I skip school." He finished.
"What?" I blurted. A passing teacher shot us a glance and Conner pulled us further in the corner.
"Come on Liz." He prompted. "Don't you want to spend time with me?"
I peered around, the coast was clear. "Yes but this is really wrong."
Conner frowned. " Fine I'll go without you." He glared at me and started to walk away.
"Wait!" I called. "I'll come but first I have to give Jessica something."
A smug smile crossed Conner's face. "Fine, but hurry." I nodded. Jessica and I arranged it so that she calls out here for her name and mine when the supply teacher takes attendance and they would never know I was gone. I'd be back for science class though. Then Conner and I snuck out. I knew it was wrong but? Well you do the math. Cute guy+movie+fun- teachers&school=Duh!
