I didn’t mean to volunteer for the Valentine’s Day Planning Committee.
I was just reaching out to pass Shay Munroe her folder when Mrs. Darcy thought I’d raised my hand.
Seems I’m now on the Planning Committee…
Shay
I didn’t mean to volunteer for the Valentine’s Day Planning Committee.
I was about to swipe at Finn Davidson’s hand as he tapped me on the back.
But Mrs. Darcy took it as an affirmation.
Now I’m on the Planning Committee with the most obnoxious boy I’ve ever met!
Finn Davidson’s mantra could well be
Roses are red
Romance is dead
Valentine’s Day is supposed to be about romance and love and all things sweet
But its hard to work with someone who isn’t putting his heart into the project
And then I find there’s a reason for that…
Finn Davidson doesn’t have a heart…
