"An Assignment"
I walked into seventh hour on Friday and plopped into my desk. I was really tired. I had been up all night the night before. I had to practice for Saturday night. I had finally gotten the gig I wanted. It was gonna pay me five grand. I needed that money.
“Hey,” I heard.
“Hey,” I said back as I looked over at Noah.
“Are you ok,” he said with worry on his face.
“Yeah. Just tired,” I said. No sooner than I said it did I yawn.
“Did you sleep last night,” he asked.
“Nope,” I said with another yawn.
“Why not,” he asked looking confused.
“I had to practice,” I said as I laid my head on the desk.
“For what,” he asked.
“You’re full of questions today,” I said with a grin.
“Maybe. Tell me why,” he said smiling back.
“I have a gig coming up at a club that pays big money,” I explained.
“How much,” he asked with a frown.
“Around five grand,” I said thinking about it.
“That’s a lot to get paid just to dance,” he said.
“I’m good at what I do,” I said with a shrug.
“I want to see you dance one day,” he said shyly.
“You want to come Saturday,” I asked.
“Can I,” he asked with wide eyes.
“Absolutely.”
“Cool. I’ll bring my brothers,” he said with a nod.
“That’s fine. I’ll put the names on the list so you can get in free. Just find my friend Maggie,” I said.
“I don’t even know what she looks like,” he said.
“I’ll show you later,” I said with a laugh. “Did you bring the cookies?”
“Of course I brought the cookies,” he said in a duh tone of voice.
“You don’t have to say it like that,” I said smiling.
“Like what,” he asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Like I’m stupid,” I said with a laugh.
