"Kelsie," she said quickly, looking at him from the corner of her eyes. "My name is Kelsie." Then she smiled a bit and turned to face him again. "I know you're name." The girl nodded and leaned over his desk. "I don't know a girl in this room who doesn't know who you are." Nodding slightly, she pointed to a couple of the girls in front. "I know for a fact that Ashley wants to have sex with you, and Emily, she thinks you're hot." With that, she gave him a quick smirk then focused back down on the work in front of her.
For a bit, Kelsie thought she was just going to do the assignment on her own and let Taven copy, that was until he asked what the assignment was. She looked back at him, raising an eyebrow with surprise.He is actually going to do school work? What happened to him? "Uh, right. Well, we have to analyze this poem." A slim finger ran down the left side of the page. "And write the analysis over here." She tapped the right side.
After that, she worked in almost silence. Every so often she would ask him what he thought a line or two meant, but she didn't ask to gain an answer; she just wanted to hear him talk. It was about 10 minutes before class ended, and the teacher announced that there was going to be group project.
"Okay, class! I am turning this poetry unit into a group project. The person you are paired with now is your partner. What you're going to do is pick a poem, analyze that poem, identify the theme, and then find pictures that relate to the theme. These pictures can be hand drawn or pictures that you have taken. I don't want any copied from the internet, got it?! Soo, get your partners numbers or whatever so you guys can meet up and work on this. I don't know the due date, but I will tomorrow."
Kelsie swallowed hard. Give my number to Taven? Spend time with him outside of class? She started wringing her shirt in her hands. Okay, I have to give my number to Taven. Taking a deep breath, she rips out a piece of paper, scrawls her name and number across it then turns and hands it to him. "My dad is like never home so, we could just do it at my house. If you aren't comfortable we that, we can do it at yours."
