After Steve collected all of the homework and headed back towards the front of the classroom, Jon leaned over towards the "new" girl and tried to get her attention. "Psst," he whispered.
The girl turned towards him. "Yeah?"
Seeing her face, rather than the back of her head, Jon realized that he knew this girl, even though he had never seen her before. Maybe he saw her in the hall in passing, but just forgot? "Are you new to this class?"
"Me? No. I've been here as long as you have. I'm surprised you hadn't noticed."
"Well, who are you?"
"Jacqueline. Jacqueline Watson. I'm sure you've heard of me. I'm head of the Math Club."
Jon's mouth fell open. That's why she looked familiar. She was Mrs. Watson! Only now she was a teenager! And a fairly attractive one at that, for a geek.
