That was the dangerous part, to Sophia's mind. She'd been hoping to play off his shock at seeing her, for her plan to work. But there'd been no recogn...ition there at all.With arms that ached both from injury and from the strenuous work of the morning, she slowly levered the canopy back into place over the cabin. The flight deck's blinding white lights refracted through the gunk that was still smeared all over the transparent panels.Sophia tapped on one of the Warlock's comms in a vain attempt to. "I, um," she started and then she stopped, took a deep breath and started again. "I want to walk to class with you." That's great," I said smiling and turning toward our class.Missy tugged on my belt loop. "No," she said firmly. "I want to walk with you to class like you did with Olivia last week. You know, hands in each other's pockets."I turned back toward her, smiling. "Okay, which alien are you and what did you do with Melissa Ann Harmon?"Missy blushed bright pink. "Please, John, don't. Just this assignment doesn't mean much. I just don't like her gettingaway with treating people like that." "Yeah, it looks like this dumbbitch has taken you for some stupid jerk!" he said, chuckling. "Thanksa lot, Carl," I retorted, "I feel much better now!" "Alright,alright, let me really try to make you feel better," he said laughing.He poked his head out of the office and called Katie. "Well, Katie, itlooks like your sister has been a terrible student," he said as she camein. "Let me handle. Wow! Feel how wet Suzi is getting? She must be as red as a tomato." Hey, aren't you going to get her out of this?" Nope. Serves her right. Besides, Do you want to encourage her doin' her brother?" You didn't arrange this, did you? I mean, she really is dripping, and it does feel... " Nope. I had nothing to do with it. Wish I had thought of it though. I'll have to remember this if I ever run into this kind of problem again. Let the parents catch them. I'll have to write it down somewhere." Well,.
