Chapter 15 - The One That Got Away
"Okay, Keely," Mr. Hackett said, addressing her raised hand. "Can YOU tell us the answer to question number twelve?"
"I'm not sure if it's right, but I got..." she said, looking down at her paper, "four."
"That's absolutely right! Great job!" he said. Keely smiled and looked at Phil. He nodded approvingly at her and her smile grew even wider as the bell rang. But again, Mr. Hackett called her up after class. Phil went to his locker and then to hers to get her things.
"Keely, you've been doing an excellent job these past few days. I don't think I'm going to have to move you after all." Keely grinned and he told her that she could leave.
"Oh, Phil, thanks!" she said gratefully, taking her bookbag from his hands as they walked down the hallway. "And guess what? I don't have to move up to a different desk!"
Phil said, "That's great, Keel! You know, I'm very proud of you, I'm glad that you're doing better!"
Keely blushed and said slowly, "Really? Thanks, Phil! That means a lot to me!"
"Well, Phil," she said as she walked into the video lab, "Are you ready to start filming tomorrow's news?"
"You bet," Phil said as he sat his things down in the corner of the room and walked over to the camera.
He focused in on Keely with his camera and she checked her makeup before they started filming. She counted down on her fingers '5, 4, 3, 2, 1,' and they began filming.
"Good morning, H.G. Wells. This is Keely Teslow with the news." Phil gazed at her through the camera, only picking up a few of the lines she said because he was lost in her eyes.
"Today's lunch is fish sticks... " She then glanced down at her paper.
"Our holiday dance is December 8th. If you have received any infractions, Saturday school, detention, or OSS so far in this quarter you will not be able to attend. Sorry, people..." she said with a touch of humor that made Phil laugh.
"And now here's Danny Dawkins with the weather. Have a great day!" she said, flipping her hair and flashing a grin that almost made Phil go crazy. "And... cut!" Phil then turned off the camera and she walked up to the camera, got the disk, and moved over to the computer to put it in so she could watch for flaws incase they had to do some things over again.
Then she flashed onto the screen and they both watched.
"Good morning. This is Keely Teslow with the news. Today's birthdays are... Alicia Sipos, Lindsey Yarbro, Louis Folia, Taylor Andis, and Sean Harner. Happy birthday to you all! Today's lunch is fish sticks. Our holiday dance is December 8th. If you have received any infractions, Saturday school, detention, or OSS so far in this quarter you will not be able to attend. Sorry, people..."
Phil was grinning the whole time, while Keely's eyes were squinted. She was concentrating. Phil couldn't help but grin at her, and then he turned back to the screen.
"And now here's Danny Dawkins with the weather. Have a great day!" Keely had that nervous look on her face as she turned off the silver laptop.
"So, Phil, how was it?"
Phil grinned again. "It was perfect, Keel. Just perfect."
"Did I look okay?"
"Keel, you looked great. You always look great!" Keely smiled at Phil and they gazed at each other for a second and then went outside so that Phil's mom could pick them up.
As they gathered their things and headed out the door, Keely said worriedly, "Are you SURE I looked okay?"
Phil rolled his eyes lovingly and said, "Keel, I told you, you looked absolutely perfect, as always."
"Really?"
"Absolutely."
"Okay, good. Thanks." Then Phil's mom pulled up. Phil opened Keely's door and she grinned at him. She climbed into the car and then Phil went around to the other side and sat down.
"Hi, kids. How was video lab today?" Barb asked.
"It was great, Mrs. Diffy."
"That's great."
Keely smiled and asked for the radio (of course). They were just in time... the song came on as soon as Barb turned it on.
Would you spare me a minute, give me a single chance
To look in your eyes, let me hold your hand
I want to get close enough to read you, understand you
Open up your heart, open up your mind
Nobody needs another stalker in their life
I'm only here to help you learn to love me, to know me
I need a hook so you won't be the one that got away
I need a look that stuns you, makes you wanna stay
Don't wanna speak incase it comes out wrong
Don't wanna blink cuz in that second, you could be gone
I need a twist to help me turn, turn this story around
I need a bridge to help me cross this dangerous ground
Meet me in the middle like I want you to
I gotta find your heart to shoot my arrow through
Did you see me staring? You caught my eye
Don't turn around, don't walk away
The night is young, can we get together?
Got so many questions, feelings I can't explain
We're worlds apart, don't even know your name
I'm longing to give you my heart
I need a hook so you won't be the one that got away
I need a look that stuns you, makes you wanna stay
Don't wanna speak incase it comes out wrong
Don't wanna blink cuz in that second, you could be gone
I need a twist to help me turn, turn this story around
I need a bridge to help me cross this dangerous ground Meet me in the middle like I want you to
I gotta find your heart to shoot my arrow through Turn around, don't evaporate
Like you never came around Don't be a ghost forever, never there to haunt me
Sliding doors, they're not just on a train
We're alone on a platform in the rain
There's a chance and it won't come again
Turn around, your whole life has changed
I need a hook so you won't be the one that got away
I need a look that stuns you, you makes you wanna stay
Don't wanna speak in case it comes out wrong
Don't want to blink cuz in that second, you could be gone
I need a twist to help me turn, turn this story around
I need a bridge to cross this dangerous ground
Meet me in the middle like I want you to
I gotta find your heart so I can shoot my arrow through End of Chapter 15
