Finally Karina decided to look up. Mischa thought she looked beautiful today. "But didn't she always look beautiful?'' some part of his brain asked. "You just never noticed.'' Yes. That was true. He had never paid much attention to her despite her being his best friend's girlfriend. Thinking about Strom brought Mischa back to his senses. He could not no matter what be thinking of Karina like this.

He pulled out the chair farthest from his school mate and sat. He avoided looking at her. For the first time for as long as he could remember, he was lost for words. What was happening to him?

But then he finally met her eyes when she spoke. "Looking back at it I think it vas very simple. Ve just over thought.'' But they had atleast managed to complete the task. "Hov did you find it?'' Mischa suddenly found himself hoping that he would be partnered with Karina again. But a part of him doubted it.
