What He Really Did

12) Here's To Days Like This

May 22nd, 2013

Science projects are due. Ms. K is recording our projects to see how they work.

Ours...failed. It didn't bother me that much; Kevin'a had failed each time they did it. I get kinda bad for them. It worked every time otherwise. Plus Kevin was recording for his mom.

"Selena can you go get the paper towels?" Tate asked.

Our project had just ended up with water everywhere.

"Yeah who has them?"

"Kevin."

I walked outside.

To my surprise he was alone.

"Hey." I said.

"Hey." he looked up and flashed me a smile.

I walked over a bit.

"Can I use some of those?" I motioned to the paper towels in his hand.

I didn't know their project had water, but Kevin was stuck cleaning up the mess.

"No." he said, then gave me a cheeky smile.

I smiled back.

"Please?"

"Nope."

He was crouched down.

I crouched down as well and grabbed them.

I tugged, no budge.

Okay Mr. Deathgrip...

"Come on." I tugged, with both arms may I add.

Him only using one effortlessly while wiping the floor with the other.

I giggled.

"Come on Kevin." I groaned, still pulling. Once he snatched it from me he alternated where he put it, in the air, under his legs, between his legs...

Ugh.

I finally grabbed it.

"You know if I would have fell on my ass if you let go any harder." I walked up a few stairs to the class.

"We could fall together." He chuckled.

"Together." I agreed before going back into class.

"Here get more water." Tate gave me our empty plastic cup.

I walked back outside, Kevin's group had returned.

"Hey!" Kevin called.

"Hi?"

"Do you know where the duck tape is at?" Kevin asked me.

"Yeah." I nodded.

"Can you bring it to us, please."

I nodded and went to fill the cup with water.

I walked back in.

"I have to give Kevin this hold on." i told Tate.

"Hey catch!" I yelled to Kevin.

Big mistake.

It hit him in the neck.

I gasped, putting my hands over my mouth.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to I swear! Oh my god are you okay?! I'm sorry." I kept repeating.

Smooth Selena. You couldn't just walk around the project and up to him like a normal person!

"She did say catch." a boy shrugged.
