Elizabeth's POV~ October 17, 2017, Tuesday

My alarm went off as usual and I got up and did my morning routine. Today I decided on a maroon buttoj up shirt, jeans, and maroon vans. I decided to put my hair in a ponytail, not really wanting to do the work to leave it out.

I walked down the stairs and headed into kitchen, when I noticed a giftwrapped box on the table. My mom wasn't donwstairs, so I headed over to the box.

There was ankte attached to it so I decided to read that first.

Hey, Sweetie

I got called in early this morning so sorry I couldn't make you breakfast. You're probably wondering what's in the box, but just open it!

-Love Mom

I put the letter down on the table and looked at the box. I carefully lifted up the box and peeked inside.

A camera?

I took the camera out of the box and looked at it. I then peeked back inside the box and saw that there was another letter. I took the paper out and saw that there was something attached to it. I looked like some sort of body camera, I then looked at the letter.

Are you surprised!!!!
I ordered it online. It also came with a body camera because I assumed that your arms would get tired from holding that bulky camera all the time. The instruction manual is also inside the box.

I hope you like it!
-Love Mom

I continued to inspect the camera and saw a price tag. I looked at it and was shocked by what it read. "1,499.99!?" I yelled.

I looked at the camera again wondering why my mother would spend so much on a camera.

I quickly looked inside the box again and found the instruction manual. I grabbed the box and headed upstairs to my laptop. I quickly plugged the camera inside my laptop and pressed record. "So I can see what its recording on my laptop, cool." I said out loud, looking at the camera recording my face.

Goodness I thought I looked better than this. I thought to myself.

I heard a text come in on my phone and looked at it.

Derick: I've been honking for 5 mins. Where are you??
Me: Sorry Derick, was doing something, I'm coming now

I put the body camera inside my desk drawer, grabbed my book bag and quickly rushed outside.

"Sorry Derick." I said as I got inside of the car.

"It's no biggie. But what took you so long?" He asked as he started to drive.

"I was trying to set up the camera that my mom got me for the Sociology project." I told him.

He looked over at me and looked at the camera.

"Oh... looks expensive." He said.

"Yea, it was definitely a lot." I said.

We finally got to school and I grabbed my camera and headed to homeroom.
———————————————
It was lunch and I was sitting at the table, with the Derick and Elise.

"Did you start your project?" Elise asked taking a sip of her mango smoothie.

"No, I plan on starting it later today. My mom put me a camera to start filming." I responded.

"So who are you doing it on?" She asked.

"Kasandra." I answered.

"But didn't you say that she said no when you asked her?" Elise asked confused.

"Yea she did. But after her soccer game..." I trailed off blushing as I thought back to how I found her with Stephaine in the locker room.

"And I asked her to reconsider and she said yes." I continued.

"She did!? That's awesome Beth." Derick said.

"Did you guys start working on the project?" I asked them.

"No, she doesn't want to start until next month." Derick said pointing at Elise.

"Next month!?" I asked, shocked at how long she was going to wait to start.

"Yea, you know I did the math and I can still pass even if I skip a month." Elise said shrugging it off.

"What's the math?" I asked her.

"Well she said that the project was 350. Now she didn't just pull that number out of her ass. So I thought 'How did she get that number?'. So she told us about this project on October 12th, which was last Thursday. And she gave us basically 10 months to do this project. But we only need 3 months. Now she said to film for at least one hour everyday. The month of October has 31 days, minus the weekends and Columbus day, there's 21. And since she gave us this project on the 12, we didnt get to use the whole 31 days of October. So I just assumed that she was going to count it as if it were a full month. So for the month of October I have to film for at least 21 hours. So that minus 21 points if I don't, and 229 divided by 250 is 91. Which means that if I don't film for the month of October I can still get a 91." Elise said proudly.

"I'm pretty sure that Ms.Scott is not that simple and I don't think it's that easy." I told her.

"I think it is, so that's what imma do." Elise said.

I then felt someone standing next to where I was sitting and I was greeted with a pair of golden eyes. I looked at her hair and saw that she decided to put it up in a ponytail just like me, but while mine was a high ponytail hers was a low one and was parted in the middle. I then looked at her outfit and saw that she had on a white shirt that had the words "Thrasher" across it in fiery letters. She had on a pair of jeans shorts that were incredibly too short, and had on a pair of white sneakers that l think were converse. I couldn't help but let my eyes wonder back to her legs.

"Elizabeth?" I heard her ask, which shook me out of my trance.

I felt my face redden "Hey Kasandra." I said to her, looking around and saw that she wasn't with her girlfriend.

"Hey Elizabeth." She said smirking at me. Causing the throbbing in my legs to come back.

"Hey guys." She said waving at my other two friends.

One responded with a "Hey" and the other one with an eye roll.

I'm pretty sure you can correctly assume which one did what.

"Did you need something Kasandra?" I asked.

"Yea." She said and sat on the seat across from mine.

"So, when are you planning on starting this project?" She asked.

My friends and I all looked at her as if she was crazy.

Was Kasandra Deluca really sitting at my lunch table? This must be a dream.

"Uhm are you guys okay?" I heard her ask.

"Yea... what did you ask again?"

"I asked when were you planning on starting the documentary." She repeated.

"I was planning on starting it after school today, if you don't mind." I said.

Her eyes widened a little and then her eyebrows furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

"Yea... okay. I had a date with Steph but I guess we could reschedule..." She said the last part quietly, not knowing that I heard.

"If you have something to do it's fine we could start another time." I said.

"Wait no it's okay. I'm free. You want to meet at my locker after physics." She said.

"Yea sure..." I said.

She nodded her head and stood up, "Don't forget!" She yelled as she walked away.

The bell soon rang signaling the end of lunch.

Kasandra didn't show up to physics, which made me believe that she was in fact always in the class and didn't transfer in, she just skipped.
—————————————-
It was after physics and I had already gone to my locker.

I was now at Kasandra's locker waiting for her to come.

I looked down at my watch and it read 3:15. We had already been out of school for 45 minutes and she still wasn't her.

Does this girl have a problem with punctuality? I thought to myself.

Soon I heard quick footsteps approaching me so I turned around and was greeted with a disheveled Kasandra. Her hair was out of its ponytail from before and messily fell around around her face. Her clothes were now wrinkled and her pants weren't even zipped up.

"Sorry Elizabeth, I got caught up in something." She said reaching her locker.

"It's fine..." I mumbled looking at her collarbone and saw a red spot there.

Is that a hickey?

My chest tightened once I realized that it was in fact a hickey.

She quickly put her book away and said "So what do you do now?"

I quickly got the camera and pressed the recording function and pointed it at her.

"Well I was thinking that maybe I could start with a tour of your house?"

"You want to record my house!?" She asked loudly. "Sorry didn't mean to yell, it's  just that my room is kinda a mess." She apologized.

"It's fine, it doesn't matter that your room is messy." I said.

"Alright, well then let's head out." She said and started walking towards the exit.

I followed after her keeping the camera on her the whole ride.
