"Please stay after class, I have something to talk to you about." he said and every student still left in the room turned their head towards me.
I walked over to his desk and put on a 100% fake smile on my face, "Yes, Mr. Harris?" I asked.
"Since you missed class yesterday, I would like you to make up for the assignments that you missed." he said.
I nodded politely, but in my head, I was punching him.
"Here," he said and handed me a book, "Read Chapter 1 - 3 and write an essay explaining and analyzing the text. In addition, pick one of the words that you feel like is the most important and write a paragraph explaining why."
"Wait, when is this due?" I asked.
"Tomorrow." he said.
I gasped. "I have to do the homework that you gave me today and on top of that this assignment?" I asked.
"Yep,"
"But - "
"No buts, it's your homework. Good luck and good - bye." he said and shooed my out of his classroom.
I stomped my way to the cafeteria and got on the lunch line.
"Who does he think I am? Superwoman? Speedy woman? How I am suppose to finish every teacher's homework in one night and still get enough sleep? And I also have another things to do like taking a shower, eating, start signing up for community service, and oh my gosh, I forgot, I still need to get the neighbors presents! Oh my Lord, how am I suppose to - "
And the next thing you know I planted my face and my plate of spaghetti and meatball on someone.
Than I notice that the whole entire cafeteria went silent.
I took a few steps back and looked up.
Even thought I ran into someone, I didn't get a splash of tomato sauce on me, instead it was all over Sebastian's white t-shirt.
I widned my eyes. "S - sorry." I stuttered.
He rolled his eyes and took of his shirt.
"W - what are you doing?" I asked, "Put on your shirt. E - everyone is looking at y - you."
My eyes was trying to look only at his face, but it was hard not to stare at his muscles.
"Wash it and I expect you to remove the tomato stain." he said and threw the shirt at me. I caught it just in time and he walked out of the cafeteria without another word.
"But the closest dry cleaning place is 4 miles away." I said to myself. I groaned in frustration. "And the saddest part is that I dropped my lunch."
~~~~
"You owe me $23.99." I said as I threw the shirt by Sebastian's face (but of course, because of his great reflex skills, he end up catching it).
"$23.99? Since when as getting a shirt bleached that expensive?" he asked.
"Um, you also have to pay for my cad fare? Hello? That's not free." I said.
"Hell no I'm paying for your tax fare, that's your fault you spill that tomatoe sauce on me." he said.
"Fine, than pay $23.98."
He laughed, "Wow, what a great discount? A discount of a penny."
"Enough chit-chatting Christopher Columbus, now hand over the money." I said.
"Christopher Columbus?" he mumbled and chuckled quietly. "Here, I'll just give you $24."
"Good enough." I said and snatched the money from his hand. "Now I need to go to the neighbors and give them their presents."
"You brought them?" he asked.
"Yeah, on the way to the dry cleaner I stopped and brought them."
"What did you get them?" he asked.
"Chocolate, a gift card, a let's - be - great - neighbors card, a recipe book and a great facial cream." I said, smiling at my wonderful gifts.
"Well, you better hurry and give them their gifts, Santa Claus." Sebastian said and started laughing at his own joke.
"You are a true corny guy." I said, shaking my head as I left the house.
"Whatever, just go." he said.
"Lock the door!" I yelled as the walked out the front door.
The walked down as house and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" I hear a fainted shout coming from the house.
"Hey! Mrs. White! It's me, your neighbor, Candice Rose!" I yelled down.
The front door opened and there stood an early 50 or late 40 year old lady.
"Oh Candice! It's so nice to meet to finally meet you." Mrs. White excalimed when she saw me.
"Yeah, me too! Mrs. White, I got you a gift." I said holding it up so she can see it.
"That's so sweet of you, my darling!" Mrs. White said, "Oh, I got you something too. Wait here."
She ran inside the house and quickly came back with a basket.
"Here are some homemade cookies." Mrs. White said. "There are chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal raisin cookie, sugar cookies, double chocolate chip cookies, and a lot more."
"Thank you so much, Mrs. White. I will eat them well." I said.
"Awhh, you're such as sweet, beautiful child." she said as she pinched one of my cheeks.
I winced a little.
"Boy Mrs. White, you got some might strength." I said as I try to keep some distances between me and her.
She laughed a little to her.
"Well, I'll see you around." I said.
She nodded and she said bye before shutting the door.
I walked down house and knocked on the front door.
"Hey, Sebastian, open up." I yelled.
"Wait a second." he shouted.
