This choice: You keep on noticing Emily as you walk down the hallway at school • Go Back...Chapter #3You keep on noticing Emily as you walk down the... by: scriptboy   You get off the bus and arrive at the school a good twenty minutes early. You walk down the empty hallway to the lockers and you put your books away and shut the locker door. As you turn around, you see a few girls standing behind you, waiting to get to their lockers as well. You smile as you walk past Sandra, Kira, Tekisha, Emily, Jill and Amanda. You’re a little shy and you just grin.
You keep on walking down the hallway, not really noticing at first that you’re walking past the Principal’s office, the cafeteria, and the library. Then, it suddenly seems like you’re walking past a row of lockers. Wait… Didn’t you just put your books away, in your locker? Did you just turn around and walk back?
You stopped and looked. Huh? There were your lockers! That’s weird! Maybe you were daydreaming for a moment there? You just shrug it off and keep on walking. You look to your right and you only see one girl standing there. It’s Emily. She’s just standing there, with a big smile on her face. For some reason, she just looks really happy to see you. You wonder why.
You smile at her. She smiles back. Cute girl. But, you really don’t know and you really wouldn’t understand why a cute girl would even want to like you, out of all the other guys at school. So, you keep on walking past the Principal’s office, the cafeteria, and the library.
It happened again! Suddenly, you’re standing in front of the lockers, in that same hallway, but twenty feet from where you were just a few seconds ago! What the hell is going on? Now, you know you’re not going crazy! Haven’t you not just walked past your locker for the third time already?
You look to the right. There she is again. It’s Emily. You stop. She’s staring straight at you. You have this urge to walk up to her. Gosh, you don’t know this girl. Why would she want to talk to you? What would you want to say to her? Darn! The urge to talk to her is increasing! It’s becoming harder to resist! Something… is forcing you… to talk to her. You give in. You walk towards her. You don’t know why.
“Hi…”
“Hey…” she replies shyly. She’s shorter than you, but she has a cute face and her hair is nice and long. Damn, she’s really cute. It dawns on you that you have never spoken to her before.
“Hi… Umm… I’m Adam… I think we’re in Mr. Johnson’s math class…” you say quietly. “But, I don’t think I’ve ever spoken to you before…”
“You seem like a really cool guy!” she grins. “You always seem to know all the answers to all the math problems in class!”
“Ohh… Umm…” I stutter. I’m actually starting to blush a little bit.
“I’m actually looking for a math tutor!” she continues.
You gulp. What? Huh?
“What?”
“I was wondering… Could you come over to my house and tutor me in math?” she asked you.
“Uhh… Well… I’ve never tutored anyone in math before!” you reply. “I don’t know if I’ll be any good at it!”
“Oh, Please help me out? I’ll pay you for your time!” she insisted.
“Oh no, Emily! You don’t have to give me any money!” I grinned.
“I wasn’t planning on paying you with Dollars, Adam…” she laughed. “What I can give you, is worth much more than a few Dollars! What I have to offer is… priceless!”
You just stare at her with your jaw wide open. What? What is she talking about?
“When you come by my house tonight, you’ll see what I mean! See you at 7, at 2205 Lee Street, okay?” she said.
She then turned around and walked off, leaving you standing there, completely dumbfounded.
How did she know what you were thinking? How did she realize you were wondering about what she meant by how she was going to pay you for tutoring her? Did she read your mind or something?
You just shrug and walked to the next classroom. You sat down and jotted down her address in your notebook. So, you had to be there at 7. Luckily, this wasn’t very far from your house. In fact, it was just three blocks away. You made a mental note to bring your math book and your notebook. You just became Emily’s math tutor!
