There were about 15 minutes left of Physics when Mrs. Ikleman made an announcement. "Students, I have some news about this week we are going to be doing a project. For the project, you will need a partner." Sarah and I looked at each other. "The partners will be Jake Shepherd, and Sophie Miller, Jacob Kennedy, and Olivia Woods, Harper Adams, and Matthew Henderson, Ashton Beckett and Sarah Coleman, and Blake Richardson and Grace Walker." Sarah and I look at each other again. 

            I noticed that Blake was looking at me, and he noticed that I was looking at him and he smiled. I smiled back. The gazing got interrupted by Mrs. Ikleman. "Class, you only have about 10 minutes left, so why don't you get with your partner and discuss what you want your project to be about. It can be about anything that you have learned this year. And also discuss where and when you could work together outside of school." 

        And that's when it hit me. Blake and I have to spend time together outside of school. 

       Sarah got up from her seat and she walked over to Ashton, so I decided to follow her lead and I walked up to Blake. "Hey Blake," I said. "Hey, Grace."  The way he said my name in this British accent was super cute. 

       "Where do you want to meet to work on the project outside of school?" Blake said. "Umm how about your house?" I kind of got nervous and I didn't know what to say.

 And plus, I really want to see what a British boy's room looks like. 

"Yeah, ok. That sounds good. Can I borrow your tele, so I can put in my digits? So we can keep in touch and also talk about the project." He said. 

The way he said those sentences to me in his accent was adorable. 

"Yeah, sure here." I hand him my phone so he can put his number in my phone. 

"Ok, Students Class is over . Have a great rest of your day, and see you on Monday!" Said Mrs. Ikleman. "Well, Grace how about we first work on the project tomorrow?" Blake said to me. "Yeah, that works for me" I smiled at him. He smiled back at me. "Great, see you tomorrow lovely" Wow he just called me 'lovely' aww that's such a British thing to say. I love it!  

I tried to hold in my excitement and just said "Ok, bye Blake."

 "Bye," He said. And waved goodbye to me. 

Why do I have to be so weird around boys? Ok, well at least I'll get more chances to hang out with him. And hopefully, get to know him better.
