Whoa Bad timing

Today at school... I didn't want to go home right away. So I sat at my desk while everyone else was leaving. And I still sat there when the teacher left. But something didn't feel quite right and I only noticed when it was too late to have just ignored it. I looked up. "Whoa! Mayzie! How long have you been standing there?" Mayzie is a girl in my class. She was Miss Whoville last year, so I have to admit, she's kinda pretty. But I don't like girls. "Oh, just since class ended. Fifteen minutes ago." Whoa, I didn't realize it was that long. Mayzie continued. "Are you feeling okay, JoJo?" "Oh, yeah. I'm good." I replied and left the classroom. She followed. "Are you going home? Cause we could walk together." She said. "Uhhh... no. I'm not going home." I was, I'll admit, trying to get away. "Well, then, are you going to the observatory? I'd love to come!" Oh, boy, I thought. "No." I lied. "Oh. Well then, see you at school tomorrow." And she left. Wow. Just at the absolute wrong time for romantic troubles. I'm doing okay except for that little episode.
