Nooooo! This can't be happening, right here, in the school hall, with Jason, of all people?!?, thinks Allison.
She is nearly ready to burst into tears right there, instantly overwrought that Jason of all people should be the one to discover her secret.
The two stand there, facing each other, Allison redfaced, barely able to meet Jason's soulful eyes as he gently takes her hand and tells her, "It's okay. I don't think anybody else noticed. My name is Jason."
After an awkward pause in which Allison is in deep contemplation of how the day could be going so wrong so suddenly, she realizes Jason has spoken to her, and blurts out, "I know your name already." before frantically gazing ANYWHERE but at her cute crush.
Jason stoops down to her eye-level, purposefully making eye-contact, as he says, "You're Allison, right?".
He knows my name? He knows my name!, Allison's thoughts shout. "Allison", is all she can think to reply.
"Look, it's okay. Really. I was still bedwetting sometimes past elementary school, you know?", Jason says, it barely registers with her, as she IS now looking into his eyes, and it feels like she could just stand there for eternity, in the middle of the now-clearing halls, "If you ever want someone to talk to about it, or just need a shoulder, I'm here, okay?". And then he gives her his number! Allison's heart feels like it's alive for the first time in her life!
But Allison's revery is broken when a girl in a tight dress(and the body for it) who'd been waiting outside the classroom door for Jason suddenly is yanking at his arm playfully, "C'mon, Jase-baby", She coos nasally, " I want to be able to find seats next to each other", and she smiles a crooked smile. It's then that Allison realizes that, although this girl grabbing at her crush has a nice body, she has a kind of long face. Pretty eyes, though, thinks Allison, until the girl says, "Time to leave the dweeb-bait to her geek world, baby".
Allison sees Jason give her the briefest of winks, as he turns and takes her hand, "S'alright, Misty. She had a wardrobe malfunction. I was just letter her know. You know, save her some embarrassment".
At the doorway, Misty turns and annoyingly pinches Jason's chin, while telling him, "And that's why I dig you, Jase. As if someone like that could really suffer any more humiliation than just, you know, being her! Tee Hee!" , and Misty snidely looks past him for a millisecond at Allison, who realizes she needs to get on her way to her own class!
She had meant to stop by the bathroom before class, but if she does today she will be late again, and on top of the other two tardies she already has, that could mean a visit to the Principle's Office.
So, away Allison goes, her mind whirling from the short encounter in the school hall, even while a part of her has been busy etching Jason's number into her brain.`
