OKEE DOKEE
Tennie worked at his solution, while Rose finished the exterior. She watched him work for a while. He looked excited about the whole idea of science. She smirked. He glanced up at her and smiled
"What?"
"Nothing..."
"What?" He hoped she wasn't laughing at her.
"You just... really really like science."
'So?" he asked, shrugging.
"Never mind."
He continued working on the solution. The bell rang. He capped the jar and put it up on a shelf. He turned to say goodbye to Rose, but she had already gone.
Ninell sat in the back corner, alone. He sat back on his chair, and sketched a picture of an alien he invented a while back. Tennie plopped down in the chair next to him, followed quickely by Lev. Tennie pulled uot his book and immediately started reading, while Lev talked Nine's ear off about the new girl.
"Shes REALLY smart, and pretty. Like, she would know the math questions I asked! Math! And she's really good at art. She did an amazing painting of this... Police box!"
"And shes into you?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Yea! She asked me to walk her to art, and we talked the entire class, if thats what you meant."
"Someone's got a daaaaaaate!" Tennie clapped, looking up from his book.
"You should ask her to coffee." Nine suggested.
"But don't drink ay coffee, Lev." Tennie countered.
"Not a good idea."
"Tomorrow?" He asked, his eyes wide. Ninell nodded.
"Yea, most definately."
"How am I supposed to do that?"
"Just say; Hey, after school do you wanna get a coffee or something? Its now hard, Lev."
"Oh, Ok. So no coffee for me, then?"
"No!" Ninell and Tennie said at the same time.
"So, get this. Guess who I got as a lab partner?" Ninell shook his head. "That Rose girl!"
"But, I thought you where supposed to stay away from her?" Lev said, concerned.
"I didn't choose her, the teacher paired us together!" He countered.
"This isn't good. This is bad, this is really, really bad..." Lev put his head in his hands. Tennie shrugged.
"C'mon, whats the worst that could happen?"
"Brad is a scary dude! He gave that poor kid a concussion four times in one year just for bumping into Rose! You can't get involved! What about that girl you talk to - Donna. What about her?"
"Shes nice, but shes a friend. I never said anything about 'getting involved' with her!"
"You where thinking of it." Ninell said.
"Was not!"
"Shhh!" Lev gestured to the teacher walking through the door.
"We'll talk later." Tennie whispered.
