“Oh,
come on, Janet!” Wes pleaded. “Let me take you over to Luke’s today.”
Janet
shook her head. “No, Troy’s mom is giving me a ride. She has a dentist
appointment in town so she doesn’t mind, and Luke said he’d bring me back home,”
she said, before turning serious. “You have to finish up that project proposal
so you can come to the gala. You promised. You are working on it, aren’t you?”
“Yes,
of course, but…we’ve hardly spent any time together this week,” he whined as he
put his arms around her waist and pulled her close to nestle into his chest. “I
miss my yenta.”
“You
make me laugh, Wes! We see each other all day long at school,” she said, her
voice muffled as he hugged her tighter.
“Two
minutes here and there isn’t enough,” Wes said.
“You forget English
class and we even spend lunch together, and now you’ve brought me home, which,
come to think of it, is a waste of precious time…time you should be spending at
your computer getting some work done!” she said poking her finger into his
chest. “If I didn’t know better I’d say you don’t want to come to the gala with
me.”
