Her cheeks begin to turn beet red as she continues to copy the notes from the black chalk board in front of her. James rips a corner of one of the lined sheets and scribbles down “Want to go for a walk after class?” then tosses the ripped sheet to the girl beside him. James decides to take a few notes as he waits for her response. A folded paper hits James in the side of his head and lands in front of him on his paper.
