"That was the shortest Wednesday ever!" Nickole exclaimed as Ann got in to the car with her on Thursday to go to class.
"I guess. Why do you say that?"
"I just really don't want any trouble. I mean, I never realized that Eddie liked me, at least enough to get jealous over, until now."
"I tried to tell you."
"Please don't remind me."
"Okay, but how are you going to handle them today?"
"I have no idea, no earthly idea!"
"Well, let's not worry about it now. Tell me about what you and Don are going to do tomorrow night." Ann commanded curiously.
"I think were just going to dinner; I can't believe it's going to be tomorrow night."
"That sounds like a good first date."
"It doesn't seem like it's our first date."
"Yeah, you guys have been hanging out for so long; I don't see what's different."
"It doesn't seem different," Nickole paused, "but I think it will be different when it's just the two of us."
They pulled into the campus parking lot and parked underneath one of the oak trees, and went into Spanish class. Today, Eddie did not kick Nickole's chair, and he did not even say a word. They just sat there; that is until Don walked into the classroom. He smiled over a Nickole, and she smiled back. As she did, she felt a hard kick to the back of her chair. Ann had seen what happened, and turned around to give Eddie a nasty look. Eddie acted like nothing had happened. Don took his usual seat across the room. The silence that followed was only broken by Sra. Ramirez's call to order, and her command to "Clear your desks, and get out a clean sheet of paper."
