Unfortunately, the weekend passed by like a blur and my Sunday was spent at home lying in front of the television. I didn't want to go back to school, but then again, I'd get to see Double D.

I had him for chemistry and English and I actually sat pretty close to him in class, much to his discomfort. The bell rang, and I had English first. Throughout the lesson, Double D would look up from taking notes and watch me. When I made eye contact with him, he jumped slightly as if surprised and stuck his face back into his notebook and continued to scribble notes. I laughed a little to myself. I couldn't believe how well this reverse psychology worked! Before, Double D would do anything to avoid me and not have to make eye contact with me, but now it was like he couldn't stop looking at me!

Chemistry must have been determined by fate. Both of our lab partners were absent! It wasn't much of a coincidence though…Double D's partner was Nazz while mine was Kevin. He was probably out getting Nazz pregnant or something.

"Kanker!" The teacher yelled, snapping me out of my thoughts. She never called me Marie; I guess because I never followed directions or did any of my work. "Pair up with Eddward."

The class turned to stare at me as I walked up to Double D. I glared as I passed by; jeez, why are people so nosy? I sat on the stool next to him, and yet again he proceeded to stare at me. Once the instruction sheets were passed out, we got to work. Double D may be intrigued by me, but nothing gets in the way of his school work. Pretty soon, he starts explaining things to me.

"Okay, so now we add in the hydrochloric acid, which should—"

"Balance the solution. I know," I finish for him as he looks at me with disbelief. "The reason I do bad in school is because I'm lazy, not because I'm stupid, you know," I say irritably. I like Double D a lot, but no matter who it is, I don't like for people to think I'm incapable.

He gives me a funny look and we finish up the experiment quickly, while most of the other students are still trying to figure out what they're supposed to be doing. We both sit there kind of awkwardly for a few minutes, then Double D takes off his goggles and turns to me.

"Uh…Marie?" He begins timidly.

"Yes?"

"I need to speak with you."

"You are right now," I reply sarcastically.

"That's not quite what I meant. I mean I need to speak with you privately."

This makes me a little nervous and excited and I begin to wrap my hair around my finger but I immediately stop as I realize that even such a simple gesture could give me away. I'm supposed to be aloof, dammit! I look back at Double D who's looking at me strangely as I'm having a mental battle with myself, and I snap out of it.

"What for?"

He too starts fidgeting nervously as I had, and blushes. "Well, it's just that I've been thinking about you lately and I need to discuss this with you."

My heart starts beating incredibly fast and I nearly yell gleefully. No, I can't ruin it now. I have to take this the whole mile if I want it to work properly. This could backfire at any moment! I mean, it did for him when us Kankers knew what they were up to after a while.

"Whatever," I reply. "When and where are we gonna meet?" I act as if I don't care, but this feels like the most important moment in my life.

A look of hurt quickly flashes in Double D's eyes as I say 'whatever', but it passes as I confirm that I'm willing to talk to him.

"I'll…meet you at your trailer. We can just go walking from there."

Although I couldn't be quite sure if Double D was going to give me good news, I was hoping for the best. This whole 'let's go walking' thing was just like all of my daydreams involving Double D. It's getting harder for me to contain my excitement.

"Sure. And when are you gonna come?" I ask again, as he seems to have forgotten about the time.

"Oh! Hmm. Is six o'clock alright with you?"

"I guess so," I reply.

Just then the bell rings, indicating the end of the day. We pack up our stuff, clean the lab equipment, and head for home. Just as I exit the door, Double D calls my name.

"Oh, and will you do me a favor? Please keep your sisters from attacking me," he pleads, looking totally freaked out.

I giggle. "Sure."

And there's the fourth chapter of Reverse Psychology!
