A whole new month, everyone in AEHS is getting excited about the Valentine's Day Dance on the 14th. Judith wants the Computer Club to do something special...Whatever, Judith.
Mia was at the CC meeting today; apparently Kenny had dragged her there so afterwards they could leave together. She looked really embarrassed but she did smile at me a few times...Kenny was looking more smug than usual but fortunately, the tables turned.
There was an announcement on the school intercom, "Could Mia Thermopolis and Michael Moscovitz please see Mrs. Hill straight away." I was surprised, and I glanced at Mia with raised eyebrows, she shrugged to show that she had no idea why we had been summoned either.
Judith looked like she didn't want me to leave, but since it was a royal order, I walked out behind Mia. We trooped down the empty corridors, side-by-side, silent. Here's all we said to each other:
Michael: "So, what do you think you did now?" (Jokingly)
Mia: (Looking scared) "I haven't done anything, have I?"
Michael: (Feeling like a real jerk) "Just kidding, ummm...what do you think they called us for?"
Mia: "I have no idea" (Looking flustered and very cute) "Probably something for G & T."
Michael: "Yeah, probably." (Wildly thinking of a topic of conversation) "So who are you going with to the VD Dance?"
Mia: (Looking sort-of-sad) "Oh, Kenny, I suppose..."
Michael: (Stupidly blurting out) "You suppose?"
Mia: (Looking embarrassed) "Yeah, it's just that..."
Michael: "Just what?"
Mia: "Ummm...You see, I- well, me and Kenny...I sort of don't like him in that way."
Michael: (With heart singing) "You don't?"
Mia: "No, but I don't want to hurt his feelings..."
Mia and Michael have now reached the G & T classroom and all conversation ends as Mia knocks on door; "Come In!" is shouted from within.
We enter and Mrs. Hill is quickly putting away what looks like a compact. She then stares at us and breaks out into a big grin, "Thank you both for coming here!"
Mia and Me glance at each other with slightly amused expressions but stay silent.
Mrs. Hill continues, "Now, I called you both here as I wanted both of you to do something for me and technically, for the school..."
Silence.
She clears her throat, "Now, Michael and Mia, I have observed both of you in G & T and your talents seem compatible."
I feel confused, 'I have a talent that's compatible with Mia's?' I think to myself, Mia's face mirrors my thoughts perfectly.
"Mia, I hold your creative talents in high esteem and Michael," she turns to me, "I know you can achieve a lot on the computer and so..." grinning broadly again, "I want you both to work on an introduction for the Valentine's Day Dance."
"A what?" Mia asks.
Mrs. Hill looks irritated, "An introduction, you know, like the Opening Ceremony before the Olympics, something to start of the dance on a happy note."
Mia and I nod mutely.
"And I expect both of you to work together on this, you will be excused from G & T to work on this, you will have an empty classroom to yourself and I expect the utmost co-operation from both of you."
More silent nods
"Use both of your talents, I know you can achieve something together, and if you need any help, feel free to come to me and you have free use of the supplies in the school...you may leave."
With quick thanks, we walked out
"Now what?" asked Mia as soon as we were out of hearing distance.
"I suppose we'll have to do it..." I saw Kenny walking in our direction and decided that I'd better go.
"See you in G & T," I called over my shoulder, the last glimpse I saw of Mia's face was a slightly disappointed look as I walked off.
Yes! I get to work with Mia, alone, for two weeks. Maybe I can ask her if she sent me that anonymous poem...
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Yes! I wrote a decent chapter (Well, that's what I think) tell me what you think.
