Mum almost got Ms Valerie fired, I kinda felt bad I was the one who couldn't tell her the reason for my request. 
As a way of expressing my remorse, I decided to do the project with Fiona and I plan on letting her know today.
That's why, I'm waiting for her to walk out of the last class for the day. After some minutes, she walk out with books in hand heading to her locker, when I start jogging up to her.
"Hey"
"Hey"
"Are you better now?"
"Yeah"
"I was thinking."
I start.
"If we could start working on the project."
"Thought you didn't want to do the project?"
She questions.
"I didn't, but changed my mind."
"I have only one request though, could we work on it at my house?"
"Yeah sure, I'll see you later then."
She responds.
"Thanks, I'll send you the address."
We part ways in opposite directions.

"So you're gonna do the project?"
"Yeah"
"Are you sure?"
Lila asks for the nth time now.
"I'm sure."
"I just want you to be careful."
"I will."
"Rebecca's barely around Kay, what if something happens?"
She continues.
"You would always tell me to dismiss the what-ifs, why should I now?"
"I know but this is different. Promise me you'll be careful."
"I will."
"You still have us on speed dial right?"
"Lila"
I mutter.
She raises her hands in surrender.
"Hey, you've been quiet what's going on in your mind?"
I query, nudging Luca with my elbow.
"You're sure about this right?"
"Luca" I groan.
"I just want you to be sure."
"I know, but I'll be fine I promise".
"So when is she coming over?"
"Today"
Taking a peek at the time, I start gathering my things ready to head home.
"She should be on her way, I'll see you two later. Love you."

It's not long after I arrived home that Fiona pulls up in my driveway, now we're in the living room she brought the part of the topic she had already started preparing, while I brought mine. 
"Please can I get a glass of water?"
"Yeah"
Handing the water I just got from the kitchen, before plopping down a few feet from her.
"We're drawing our own diagrams, aren't we?"
"Yeah"
"I could draw the male reproductive system while you draw the female."
She suggests.
"It's quite fascinating how the human body works"
"Yeah it is"
We continue working in silence, soon it's dark and she decides to head home.
