(9th grade, 2nd quarter, Language Arts class and Lunch.)
"I want you guys to write a 10 page essay on Shakespeare. It is due by the end of 2 weeks. That should be enough time for you procrastinators. 14 days to make a 10 page essay. Good enough, if you turn it in earlier then when it is due, for each day, and if its good and all is well. I will give you guys 5 to 10 points extra credit. For everyday it is late, i will take 20 points of everyday plus I will take off more points if its not good. And it could be possible to get a zero.............."
I zoned out. This is the class I have with Harry, Allison, and Jonathan. The best part is I sit behind Harry. I get to stare at the back of his head for 2 hours and that includes lunch. That is one reason I like language arts. I always like to stare at the curly haired boy. I have a favorite curl. It is absolutely adorable. Its like super curly. Like a pigs tail. Haha, sorry that was a terrible way to describe it. But I cant really describe it.
"Megan, I would appreciate it if you paid attention to what I am saying instead of Mr. Styles hair." My teacher began.
I blushed red. Harry turned around a smiled at me. Omg, I have to tell that to Allison and Jonathan. Jonathan sits next to me so I will tell him as soon as Harry turns around the teacher shuts up.
"As I was saying, this is about 25% of your grade, so it better be good. I will pass out the rubric now so you guys can see and know what is to be done. I expect good work from you guys."
She passed out the rubrics to the front of the rows.
Ohhh no. Harry is gonna turn around and give the paper and say something funny. Gotta fix my hair.
"Is there anything on my face?," I asked Jonathan.
"Yes."
"What?!" I started to freak out.
"Your nose."
"Oh well, no other then that."
"Not that I can see."
"Thanks!"
Here came the rubric. Harry turned around.
"Since you apparently like to look at my hair, I must warn you it also smells good." He then placed the paper on my desk and winked at me.
Omg, and Jonathan saw that. I took the paper and stared at and felt my face turn red.
"Looks like someone is blushing." Jonathan whispered.
"Shut up! He could hear you at any time!"
"Megan and Jonathan please stop whispering or I will separate you two."
Harry chuckled. I could tell because his shoulders moved.
His best friend Will said something and Harry exploded into laughter. Harry has another friend named Jonathan. But that's not the Jonathan I hang out with.
Ring. Mrs. Patterson ringed the bell indicating that it was time for lunch." Class it is time for lunch. When we come back I will give you guys another piece of paper where you guys will write ideas. that will be about 10% of your total grade of the 100%, which will be 25% of your full grade. Okay, you guys are dismissed."
Jonathan, Allison, and I walked to the cafeteria. It was huge! For a small school the cafeteria was to big. Probably bigger then the gym.
We got in line and waited for our turn to come. I ordered spaghetti and a roll. I got some sparkling water and went to the register and paid. I waited for Allison and Jonathan. After the paid we went to table 26. I had the perfect view of Harry. Jonathan had the perfect view of Marisa. I sat in front of Jonathan. Allison sat at my side. I started to tear off pieces of my bread and eat it.
"So..... I saw you staring at Harry's hair and you got called out. Then I saw he told you something. What happened?," Megan asked.
"Well umm, I was staring at him and all of a sudden I got called out. Harry turned around and smiled at me. It was adorable, I could see his dimple! I wanted to stay lost in time just staring at him!"
"Mrs. Lover girl forgot she has her boyfriend in front of her." Jonathan said.
"I know, but remember I told you I would ditch you for Harry if he asked me out. You would do the same with Marisa..."
"Well anyways back to what I was saying about Harry before I was rudely interrupted. Later when she passed out the rubric he turned around and said, apparently you like my hair, so you must warn you it also smells good. Then he winked at me! It was adorable!!!!!!"
I just then realized I screamed the last part out. Everything went quiet and everyone was staring at me. Harry was with Will and they were also staring.
I blushed red. Why does this always happen to me?
Will said something that sent Harry into laughter. If only I was the one who made him explode into laughter...
I smiled and waved at no one in particular. Everyone turned back to what they were doing.
My friends and I decided to stay quiet until the end of our lunch time.
Occasionally I would see Harry turn around and smile at me.
If Harry didn't know I liked him, he must be kinda dumb. But maybe he does know. He is probably keeping it a secret because he doesn't want to hurt my feelings. Or he doesn't like me and doesn't want to talk to me.
Tough life. Love is always difficult. No one said it was easy.
**************************************************************************
Back in class we took our seats. Harry came in last. He walked by and smelled amazing.
The teacher began to pass out the rubrics. Time to get ready.
Harry turned around and looked at me and smiled. He handed me the sheet and I reached out for it. I almost had it and Harry pulled it away from me. We kept doing this until the teacher looked at us.
"I would really appreciate it if you gave the paper to Megan, Mr. Styles."
He gave me the paper and turned around. Will started to laugh.
"Like I said, I am giving you guys 2 weeks to write a 10 page essay. And to make it kinda easier and/ or harder for you to do this assignment, I will give you guys a partner. Tonight, you guys will write about what you think about Shakespeare. Tomorrow you guys will get your partner and exchange ideas. This could be easy and hard depending on what you and your partner think about Shakespeare. Well that is all I need to say. You have about 4 minutes to start working on your assignment. I will give you about 1 minute to pack up."
"I wonder who our partners are gonna be" I asked Jonathan.
"I don't know, but I hope I am paired up with someone smart. Shakespeare is really hard for me."
"I know some of it. It is kinda difficult times, but not that difficult, you just need to think."
"Time to pack up class. Line up and get ready to leave when the bell rings."
RING!!!!
We all went to the exit and waited to get out. The people in my class are so slow to get out.
"I forgot my pencil! I will meet you guys in the next class. That is the only pencil I have today and it is full of lead."
I headed back to my seat. Harry was still there talking to the teacher.
"I would really like it if you paired me up with someone like Megan. I need someone smart to help me. I promise I will try my best! I will not cheat and I will ask a lot of questions. Please?"
I decided to pretend to look for something else while I eavesdropped in their conversation.
"Very well. We will see tomorrow Mr. Styles."
"Thank you Mrs. Carter!"
Harry turned around and saw me and froze. I froze too. He walked up to me and said, "I think I know who will be my partner." Then he winked and left.
Oh My Gawsh. Harry might be my partner. 14 days of working with Harry Styles. Maybe. Where will we work? At my house? His house? This is a dream come true!
I left the class and had 2 minutes to get to class and tell Jonathan and Allison what happened.
