Let me give you the background. For my English course we are required to have the book [i]American Short Stories: 1920 To The Present[/i]. I had mine for about a few months until I lost it. For the past few months, I've been passing that section of class without the book or with the same book that I borrow from friends. Some more background. For those of you who read and remember one of my first post, it was about this girl who I'm pretty sure had a crush, or liked me in some kind of way. I'm not retyping that whole thing, but here's the basics. Started in Sophomore year, didn't know how to react/didn't believe it, didn't do anything/still noticed her, thought is still here/still don't know/probably did. Anyway, I was hanging out with some friends after school today and I happen to come across the book I need for English. I took a look inside of it and it turns out that the book belonged to that girl. I found the book near her locker laying on the floor. Reason I was up there is because some of my friends' lockers are there, as well. I took the book because I needed it for a homework assignment. You might be wondering now why I think it's a set up. Here's why. Whenever I go to English class, I cross paths with her (her locker is also right next to my class). I know for a fact that she knows I lack the book needed for class. Reason being is because I constantly ask different friends in the hallway everytime (probably has heard me talk about it/ask) and she's seen me get the book from friends (did it today as well). She also knows I go up there usually after school to hang out with said friends, so it's common for me to be up there. I think the book was possibly purposely left there by her. This might be an effort to have a reason to talk to me about a "missing book." Whether or not she actually wanted for me to take it (maybe just wanted me to find her and give it back), I'm trying to prepare myself for any kind of possibilities and coming up with different solutions for different outcomes. Either way, I took the bait if it was intended. This Saturday is Valentine's day, so it would make some sense to do it now. The "missing book" idea is a clever one if she was observant. If it's true, then I don't know who's the direct object of the situation (see what I did there). Cheers to that everything works out one way or another. Edit: Holy shit, I realized that I have English last period tomorrow. That means I'll be right there after school when it's over. We also might not have school Friday depending on how much snow we get, leading straight to the weekend and vacation. If this is planned, -blam!-ing smart. Along with that, she has the same teacher as me, just in a different class. Meaning we technically got the same homework. She has the class when I have a study. Because of this, I know that she doesn't have English tomorrow and doesn't have to do the homework. If this is part of a plan, then she knows that I still have to do the homework. What -blam!-ing job requires you to pay special attention to detail? I think I'd make a good living...
