Come to think of it, I never really noticed Liz. Liz was one of those shy, quiet girls, who said nothing and never spoke their mind. I don't think I even knew she existed before Mrs. Hunter assigned us to be project partners. How could I have known that we'd grow so close?

-FRIDAY-

I looked over to my left, at the girl sitting next to me. Average physically, long jet black hair, large brown eyes hidden behind choppy bangs. Quite beautiful, that girl sitting next to me, starched white collar shirt, black skirt, grey boots. Slender hands, the smell of the sea and new erasers. She was sketching something. A landscape – rolling hills, shallow seas, flat land, a small house. She was lost in thought, it seemed. Too involved in her drawing to notice Mrs. Woods writing about different sources and word meanings. Too busy to catch Ryan Norton glancing over at me. Too busy to catch the clock ticking away. Too busy to fully experience the last day of school. Too busy drawing a clear summer's sky.

The boys were loud. Incredibly Loud. Of course. It was the last day of school. Jenny, who sat behind me, tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and got a note pressed in my hand.
"From Ryan." She grinned, pointing over at Ryan, who was looking at the board, cheeks flushed red. I smiled and nodded at her, taking the note. I opened it underneath my desk. In a messy font, obviously written with a half-dry pen stood six words.

Will you go out with me?

A scribbled signature revealed that it did indeed come from Ryan. I smiled widely. Jenny leaned in over my shoulders, reading the note. Her grin lit up beside me. "Told ya." She whispered. I laughed quietly and folded the note up into a small white square, turning back around. The girl next to me didn't seem to mind, as she just continued drawing her landscape. The whole class was acting insane by now, three and a half minutes before the end of our Ninth Grade year.  Only she was quiet, not listening to the teacher, lost in thought. I've sat next to her this entire year and never noticed her… I don't even know what her voice sounds like.

"Alright everyone!" Mrs. Hunter clapped her hands together enthusiastically. "It seems that mostly the male part of this classroom has forgotten we're still in school. I would like to take this time to declare that everyone will have to do a project this summer." A simultaneous groan came from the boy's side of the classroom. "Yes, gentlemen we actually have to  work in Research class, as unbelievable as it may sound. Now, we have two minutes to go." A small cheer sounded from the back corner.  " You will all research ways to improve our world in groups of two. Preferably the person sitting next to you, unless you absolutely cannot stand that person." A few boys high-fived one another and chatter came from behind. I knew that they wanted me in their groups. Instead, I tapped the girl sitting next to me on the shoulder.
"It seems that we are now partners for this project." She literally jumped in her seat out of shock. Turning to me, she blinked a few times, slowly. Her long lashes batted up and down.
"Are you sure?" She asked me, shaking her head to the direction behind us. "You don't want to be with your friends?" I smiled and shook my head.
"It's not like I can't stand you." She gave a small smile. At that moment the bell rang.
"Alright, pack up everyone. See you after summer vacation!" Mrs. Hunter called but my partner and I stayed in our seats, slowly putting our stuff in our backpacks.
"Any ideas for what to do?" I asked, stuffing my pencils in my pouch.
"I would like to do something related to the ocean… Maybe how to prevent oil spills, or something of the sorts?"
"Good idea! You could maybe even draw something for it!" She turned red.
"Oh no, no… My drawings are very bad!" She hastily stuffed the landscape picture in her bag. I grinned.
"That's what they all say." She gave me an embarrassed smile.  I ripped a piece of paper out of my notebook and scribbled my cellphone number on it, giving it to the girl.
"That's my number. Call me tonight, at say… Eight?"
"Alright." She nodded hastily, standing up and walking towards the door. I suddenly remembered and jumped up.
"Wait!" I called out. She turned around. "What's your name? And could I have your cell phone number, just in case.". She nodded and came back, grabbing my hand. Her hands were cold as she wrote her number on my hand. She gave me a small smile and then walked back towards the door, turning around one more time.
"I'm Liz. I'll talk to you later, Anne."
Next Part will be up soon! Hope you enjoy.
