�Hey girl, what�s up? My name is Shawn, you�re Kelly right?�
Yeah,
�I see you around all the time. It�s great that we actually have a class together now. I just heard the teacher say that we are going to be assigned groups for this presentation thing. What is your interest in the topics she has posted on the board? I was thinking �LIFE ON MARS." What do ya think?�
I thought to myself, "I wish you would go to Mars, and leave me alone already..."
To his suggestion, I replied,
"Well, I�m not even sure I�m awake enough to choose a topic yet Shawn."
He nudged my arm and said,
�Well, she is going to assign groups, I figured I would save her some time and get my own group started. Are you in or what?�
I don�t know, I haven�t even thought about it yet.
�Well think about it because I�ve noticed you since the first day of class and I think we�d work well together.�
HUH?
Do I know you from somewhere?
�No, we�ve never had the chance to meet.�
He grabbed my hand and said, �Shawn. My name is Shawn, so are you in the group or what?�
The teacher called the attention of the class.
She said, �Ok, we�re going to split into groups. We have a few topics to choose from. You can write your paper on global warming, life on Mars, The Atkins diet, or a few other things. Get into groups and we�ll get started on the guidelines for your presentations.�
Shawn stood up and walked up to the front of the class where �Life On Mars�, was meeting for their assignment.
The teacher piped in, �Ok, class, if you want to pass this class you have to GET UP OUT OF YOUR CHAIR, and find a group. This isn�t going to take long. We�ve only got 10 minutes remaining in this class period. Lets get it together.�
I sat in my seat and scanned the class with my partially open eyes.
I thought to myself, �She has GOT to be kidding. I am too tired for this.�
A girl sat next to me, �Hey, I�m Maureen. It looks like we�ve been assigned to fertilizers and their affects of life in general.�
Shortly after Maureen sat down, 5 more students followed with their introductions.
The teacher called up to our group and told us to exchange names and email addresses and she�d walk us through the things we will need for our presentation.
I mumbled something under my breath and it came out sounding like, �Yeah, that�s repetitive. Just get me out of here. It looks like a great beach day out side!�
We exchanged our information with one another and agreed to start a study group before the first test so that we can prepare a little better for the exams.
Time flew by and class was finally over.
I made my way out to the traffic jam in the school parking lot and got in my car to drive home.
I�m home now, getting changed to go to the beach�.
Lookout beach, here I come!
