Beautiful brown hair, a perfect button nose, and a voice like that of an angel’s. He could look at her all day, thinking about how great it would be if they…
“Hey Nate? You still with us?” a voice rang out.
Nate snapped out of his daydream and shook his head. “Yeah, yeah, sorry. Just trying to figure out this one math problem.”
Francis and Teddy shared a look. They had gotten together with Nate to work on their homework together at Francis’s house, especially since they had a test coming up the next day. Not that Nate was contributing much since he kept on daydreaming.
“Alright, Nate. What’s on your mind?” Francis asked.
“Nothing much, although I think Mrs. Godfrey has gained more weight than usual.” Nate said.
“Dude, that’s not what you were thinking at all.” Teddy said.
“How can you tell?” Nate snapped.
Teddy leaned back in his chair and smirked. “You’ve got that certain look in your eye when you’re thinking about a girl you like.”
Francis couldn’t help but let out a teasing whistle.
“Alright, alright, so I like this one girl in Mr. Staple’s class.” Nate admitted while smiling.
“Who’s the unlucky victim this time?” Francis asked.
“Hey!” Nate snapped angrily.
Francis held up his hands in defense. “Nate, every time you try to flirt with someone you come off as annoying or downright embarrassing.”
“He has a point, y’know.” Teddy stated matter-of-factly.
“That’s why I’ve got an idea on how to get her to go out with me.” Nate said with a mischievous twinkle in his eye.
Francis and Teddy looked at one another, and wondered what kind of shenanigans Nate was going to get himself into.
“Well, can you at least tell us her name?” Teddy asked, turning back to face Nate.
“Her name is Ella. She’s new here.” Nate said as he leaned forward to rest his arms on the table.
“Well, what’s your plan?” Francis asked, tilting his head.
