"We should... probably get back. They're probably wondering where we went." I said breathlessly, unsure of anything else to say. He nodded and the two of us made our way back to the lunchroom and sat down across from one another like nothing had happened.
"What's up, Johnny?" Dutch asked as he looked at his friend worriedly. "Nothing." He replied and Dutch then turned to me which I shrugged at. "You're totally blushing," Tommy whispered in my ear. I quickly elbowed him in the ribs softly as my cheeks reddened even more.
Bobby looked at me with raised eyebrows so I simply ignored him and pulled out some of my homework and worked on that. Every couple of minutes I'd look up and make eye contact with Johnny that would make my cheeks burn right after it had finally stopped.
Once the bell rang I placed my notebook back into my backpack and followed the boys out. "Cya in study hall, Lia," Bobby said and I waved at him. I turned to see Johnny standing there waiting for me.
We walked to class in silence, shoulders bumping into one another every few steps. We took our seats at our table in the back and pulled out our supplies, since it was a workday.
"How are you doing on the project?" Mr. Grove asked as he walked up to our table. "Good. We got a lot of the research done last night." I said, him looking at my full sheet in approval. "Mr. Lawrence, you're helping, right?" The teacher asked. "Of course, Sir." He replied.
The teacher looked at me with a raised eyebrow, silently asking me if this were true. "Johnny helped me a lot. He's a great partner." I said. He nodded with a smile before going on to the next group.
"I'm a great partner, aye?" He whispered in my ear. "You're actually a horrible partner," I replied sarcastically and he rolled his eyes. "Actually though, tonight you have to help me," I said seriously. "Promise." He replied and I smiled at that and turned back to the sheet.
After a few minutes of the two of us talking about the book we were going over, he scooted his chair closer to mine. I couldn't help but smile up at him as he rested his head in his palm. "Bored already?" I asked. "Yeah, I wanna go to the pool." He replied with a groan.
"We only have a few more hours left," I assured as we started working on the project. "I'll see you in study hall," I said as the bell rang, he nodded with a smile and I turned and made my way to science.
I didn't have anyone in my science class, besides Betty and Susan, Ali's friends, but I didn't like them much, they seemed to dislike Daniel and I since we were from Reseda, so that class was fairly boring.
On the way from art to study hall, I passed Cindy who stopped when she saw me. "So, you really are a slut huh? First Bobby and now the rest of them." She said.
