Three Red Lines (23)

Scarlette, You have the highest grade out of all my classes. How would you like to become a tutor for the middle school? -Mr Avila.
That's all the note said? He could have just told me that tomorrow. Whatever.
I wrapped myself up in my sheets and fell asleep quite quickly.
When I woke up, I felt so much better. But I was still really cold.
As I got dressed, I got a text message from Travis.
"Don't forget you're staying with me tonight."
Since I wouldn't be home until tomorrow, I put clothes in a bag and would leave them in the car.
I picked up my gray sweatshirt and walked to the door to greet Travis.
"Hello!" I kissed his cheek and walked to his car. "I see you packed for tonight."
"Yep! So, Mr. Avila wants me to tutor the kids in middle school. Do you think I should do it?"
"If you want. I think it would be fun to do."
"I guess I'll do it."
When we got to school, I saw Clark making out with some girl. He didn't say anything about having a girlfriend. As I walked closer, I could see who it was.
Shelly? I passed by quietly so they wouldn't see me. Clark and I still weren't talking.
"Was that your brother?" Travis leaned down to whisper.
"Yeah." I whispered back. "I can't believe it."
Why he would want to be with her, I don't know. That's his decision though.
Math class was over and before leaving, I went to talk to Mr. Avila.
"Hi, I got your note. And yes, I'll tutor the middle school kids."
He smiled and said, "Good, because I already told them you would do it. Now get to class."
"Thanks." Travis took my hand when I got out the door. "Even if I said no, I still would have had to do it."
Travis laughed. "He told them yes already didn't he?"
"Yes." I stopped in front of my next class. "I'll see you soon!" I smiled and walked in.
I got settled in my seat and saw Clark with Shelly standing at the door.
"No, I'll miss you more!" They were so disgusting. "Aw, you're awesome." She walked in and took her seat.
"OMG Shelly, you two look so adorable together!" Ew, no they don't. "Are you guys going to eachothers proms?"
"Did you hear that Scarlette?" She tapped me on the back. "We can go dress shopping together!"
Her and her friends laughed. I wasn't in the mood to deal with them right now.
I turned back to my work and started doodling random things. The whole time, I could here them talking and laughing about whatever the heck they were talking about. I put my head down and fell asleep.
The sound of the bell had woken me up. Ugh. Now it was time for English class.
I walked slowly down the hall to my next class. About halfway there, I saw Nathan. We made eye-contact. It was awkward. I put my head won and walked faster.
"Can we talk?" Nathan came next to me.
"No." I turned the corner and walked into my classroom.
When I sat down, my teacher told us we were switching our seats.
"Harris, up front next to Cook." I picked up my bag and walked up to the front.
The person who I was assigned with sat down. I recognised her from the party.
"Told you I'd remember you."
"Aren't you a senior?" It never really occured to me that there was a senior in my class.
"Yeah. What's your point?" I think she tanned more since Friday night. "Are you calling me stupid?"
"No, no. I was just asking. And, what's your name?"
"Jessica Cook. And I see you haven't changed." I gave her a questioning look. "You're still dressed like an outcast."
She faced forward and smiled. Only forty five more minutes of class. What a joy.
Our teacher passed out papers about our next class reading. We were going to read Rome and Juliet. I skimmed over the paper. We had to write what traits and characteristics we would look for in a boyfriend or girlfriend.
I smiled and thought of Travis.
"I want to know what you would all want, and tomorrow we'll share them. See you tomorrow." Right as he finished, the bell rang.
I wondered if Travis was going to have this assignment also. As I was reading the sheet, I bumped into someone.
"Oh sorry, my bad." Travis turned around. "Oh hey, it's just you."
We walked into the cafeteria together and bought food. I only got a water and a small wrap.
I started to work on my english homework after I ate. I got a pencil out and started writing.
"Travis, how tall are you?" I looked up at him, and also checked his eye color.
"6'2", why?" I wrote that down.
"No reason." I also put green eyes on my paper. "You'll find out later." What else could I describe about Travis? "Do you play anything else beside lacrosse?"
"Football in the fall." He tried to see what I was doing, but I covered my writing so he couldn't see. I put down lacrosse and football on my list also.
And anything else about Travis.
