Do It

Teacher: Okay guys I’m going to let you choose your own groups for this project…

Katie: (whisper to friend sitting next to her) I want to work with Ben. He’s so smart. Will
you pass it on?

Girl sitting next to her: (turns to boy on her other side) Hey, Katie wants to do the project
with Ben will you tell him?

Boy: (turns to Ben) Hey, Katie wants to do it with you.

Ben: Do it?

Boy: (confused) Uh yeah.

Ben: (very uncomfortable) Wow okay.

Katie: (approaches Ben) So I’m sure you’ve heard.

Ben: (still very uncomfortable) Yeah.

Katie: So what do you think?

Ben: That sounds good.

Katie: Oh thank God. So do you want to do it at school?

Ben: At school?!

Katie: Yeah I mean that’s probably the best place.

Ben: Won’t the teachers mind?

Katie: No. they can help us.

Ben: Help us?!

Katie: Yeah they do that for students a lot.

Ben: Wow okay. So should I bring anything?

Katie: Probably just some pens or something.

Ben: Pens?!

Katie: Umm I guess we could use pencils if you prefer…

Ben: No! no, pens are fine.

Katie: I’m really good at stuff like this I promise. I mean probably not as good as you.
Everybody knows you’re the best.

Ben: They do?!

Katie: Yeah. I think the school is gonna give you some sort of award or something.

Ben: Wouldn’t that be kinda weird?

Katie: No of course not! You deserve it.

Ben: Umm thanks I guess.

Katie: Kay so does tomorrow sound good?

Ben: Sure.

Katie: Oh lemme just call my mom and tell her.

Ben: You’re telling your mom?!

Katie: Yeah she likes to know when I do stuff like this.

Ben: Uhh I gotta go bye. (runs off)

Katie: Bye?
