Ch. 3 Suprise

Ch. 3 Surprise!

            After having a horrible Friday at school, Iris popped her head out the bath room door that leads to the hallway, making sure it was safe for her teacher to safely get out without getting caught. After the close was clear, she motioned for him to come out. Once their feet hit the concrete floor to the hallway the bell rang indicating the day was finally over. Iris sighed in relief; excited it was now the weekend.

She had plans with Mary. They were going to go to the mall and the movies. Mary was going to drive them to Mary’s house. Iris, already knowing where her car was went ahead to the parking lot. There she waited a good 20 minutes for Mary. “Sorry I’m late love. I was talking to Phil. We just lost track of time.” She heard Mary speak to her in a voice that was coming closer. Mary tackled Iris in a huge bear hug. “…its ok…” Iris replied just wanting to leave. “What’s wrong?” Mary questioned as she and Iris put their belongings into the trunk and hopped in the car. “Nothing. I just wanna go.” Iris said as she started to play with the radio.

Iris never planned to tell Mary what happen that very day in the bathroom. Yeah, she trusted her, but Iris didn’t want to hear all the smart remarks about how teachers and students can’t be together and that it was just a crush, or obsession. That was one word that caused Iris to punch things. Obsession. The thought just made her grind her teeth.

***It was only a 20 min drive to Mary’s. Her mom would be gone for the weekend and they had the house to themselves. They both took separate showers. Each about 15 mins long. They planned to see the 7pm show. Now showered and clothed in jeans and a long sleeve t shirt they got back into the car and headed north to the movie theater. They preferred to go out of town, so they wouldn’t run into anyone from school.

After 45mins of music, story telling and giggles they reached the movies. Iris and Mary got out of the car and headed to the entrance.  “Two adult tickets for Les Miserables please.” Iris spoke to the woman behind the glass, dressed in a stripped outfit how looked oh so happy to be working there. (note the sarcasm) Once receiving their tickets they went to get popcorn, ice cream, and a carbonated soda. Sure, they hadn’t eaten dinner, but what the hell? It was the weekend.

Now, all set and ready to go into their movie they handed their tickets to the man behind a podium. “Enjoy your movie” the young man said, just now hitting puberty, because his voice cracked like a whip of a ring master. They found their theater and walked through the door, up the steps to the back middle section. Once seated they started munching on their popcorn. With only five minutes of previews to go both teenage girls sat at the edge of their seats, waiting with anticipation for the movie.

Out of no where, a familiar voice spoke, making Iris’ heart sink. Iris looked over to see a man that stood up tall, with dark jeans and a maroon t-shirt. “Can we talk?” the voice spoke. Iris stood to greet the person, that was oh so familiar but their face was blurred by the crappy lighting. As she stood face to face, she realized it was Mr. L. In a hushed tone Iris asked “What are you doing here?! Are you crazy!!? You could get into trouble, being seen with a student!” Mary now interested in who was harassing her best friend, stood and said “Iris, who is th..” she didn’t finish because she now realized who it was. “oh” escaped her lips as she greeted her teacher. “Hello, Mr. Langella. What are you doing here?”

“I needed to speak, alone, with Miss Carter. I will bring her right back.” Mr. L spoke in a calm voice as he grabbed Iris’ arm firmly but not hard enough to hurt her. He would never do that on purpose. They walked out of the theater into the hall. Then down the hall all the way to the end, so they could have privacy.  “Would you like to explain why you’re here, why you pulled me out of my movie, and why you insist we talk, when I obviously don’t want to talk to you.” Iris harshly breathed.

“Iris, please, understand and listen to me when I tell you this. Ok? It is very,  very important.” Mr. L pleaded to the young girl. “Fine.” Iris promised to the older man standing inches from her body. “Iris, I mean this when I say it. I honestly like… (Ohhh! Cliff hanger! Sorry, I promise to update soon. I hope it’s not to cheesy. (: )

Anyway, what do you guys think so far? I am having a fun time writing this! :)
