She would actually need to do work this time? What was this?! She laughed like he was kidding. “You’re funny ..uh… Oh! I’m sorry, I don’t remember your name… What was it again? You can call me Ari.” She said quickly. She spoke fast, her words almost becoming long spaceless sentences. She brushed some stray hair away from her cheek. She reached into her bag, pulling out a leather bound planner. She flipped it open, humming the song J had been listening to as she thumbed through to that week. “The only problem with this is… I don’t have any time to work on this project. I’m areally busy person. This week I have a few fundraisers, sports practice, play practice, and I have work and oh… I have to pick up young brother and sister from their own things.” She said as she moved sticky notes and papers out of the way.
“Just no time for this silly school project. So please, do whatever you want. You can pretty much say I didn’t help much, but at least write up what I need to say for the presentation.” She smiled and shrugged her shoulders. “Is that alright?” She didn’t care what the answer would be, it was essentially a ‘It’s all on you, and not on me’ sort of deal in her mind. She shut the planner and got up quickly, nearly hopping onto her feet. She giggled and tucked her planner back into her leather bag. She pulled out her phone just as a ringtone went off. “I’d love to stay and chat further, but I really should be off. I have to cook dinner tonight, so I must be off now.” She started to walk away with a little bounce, giving J very little time to react. He could, if he wanted to, run up and grab her and stop her. She tucked her phone away, stopping a second to fish out headphones so that she could listen to her music on her way to the grocery store then bus stop to head home.
