The Hallway Crush

Part 1

You were in biology class. The period right before lunch. The teacher was writing something on the board. You were able to open your eyes long enough to see she was writing down the homework and upcoming tests and stuff. You turned around to look over at the clock at the back of the room. You saw there was only 6 minutes left of class.

Your friend caught your eye as you were turning back around and made fun of how horrible you looked. You flip him off, you knew you looked like shit. You didn't sleep well last night cause you were up till 2 cramming last minute for the math test you were having in 3 periods.Your mocha frappe did what it could to keep you up but you knew once you handed in your test you were gonna sleep the rest of the school day. The warning bell rings and you turn back around.

You started packing up and fumbled with your pencil. The sound made your teacher turn around to catch you reaching for the pencil with your foot and a half empty desk.

"Kore, why're we packing up?"

She turned to look at the clock, "There's still 4 minutes left of class. Since Kore thinks she doesn't need to pay attention in class how about this," Great an ultimatum. You knew what was coming.

"If Kore answers this question correctly, no homework today. If she gets it wrong, 5 more pages of reading. And I'll assign 2 pages minimum summarizing what you read. How's that sound class?" The class groaned, you did too. You prayed for your teacher to not be in a piss-ass mood.

"Ok Kore, I'll cut you some slack. Name all the phases in the Cell Cycle."

"What! We haven't even gone over that!", one of your classmates said.

"Well it's a part of the reading that I said yesterday you should read. Just to be ahead. It was only about the cell cycle. And we'll go over it tomorrow, but regardless that's the question. Kore?" You perked up immediately. You actually did read that yesterday, on the train.

"Um, isn't it...growth, DNA synthesis, growth, and mitosis?"

"And what's the DNA synthesis called?"

"Oh, um...Uh, the uh...S phase! Right?"

"Yup, nice. Alright kids no home work today, let's all thank Kore now." The period bell rings, telling everyone 3rd period's over.

You sit in the front of your column so you stay put. You could just go out first but lunch was your next 'class' so you weren't in any rush. You accept the praises from your friends for sparing them homework, as they pass you and leave the room. You finally get up and go to your friend's end of the classroom and she wastes no time teasing you,

"Oh, um, I think its uhhh."

"Shut up," you say as you giggle and playfully push her head to the side,

"At least I got it right dumb-ass. You would've said some ed shit like apoptosis." You wait for her to finish writing down the upcoming dues and finish packing up. You two aren't the last two people in the class so you don't rush her today.

As you wait you can see the next class already crowding outside of the room. You make eye contact with a boy waiting outside. You recognize him as a boy in your math class. He sits in the column right of you, down two rows. So needless to say you've never gotten a good look at him. He's one of the smarter kids in class and he's one of the teacher's favorite students.

Even though you two run with different crowds, you have a similar friend group, but you two've never actually spoken to each other. You remember mentioning to a friend how the bum-ass teacher probably wishes she could get fucked by him. But now that you weren't in math class and have nothing to do but wait you try and get a good look at his face.
