The Student and the Teacher

02

When we reached 3rd period, Isabel got all excited to see mister Uchida. " Class 12B. " Isabel said, as we both walked into his classroom. 
" Goodafternoon students. " Uchida said as he looked at the both of us. Isabel smiled at him, but i didn't pay much attention. Yes, mr Uchida was really gorgeous, but he was way older than us and he was probably already married. 
" Would you relax? " i whispered towards Isabel, as we both sat down somewhere in the front of the class. 
When i was in 11th grade, our classmates used to bully me all the time, and it made me feel bad about myself, i lost all self-esteem and became lonely. I had one friend at that time, but she had to move to another country, because her father found a better job there. 
The reason Isabel and i became friends started when we both had detention together. 
Yes, i might've been the loser, but i did bad things too in the past. We actually started talking and ever since that she'd been really nice to me, so i concider her as a friend now. 
We only spend time with each other in school, and i'm fine with that, i don't need a bunch of friends, as long as people just have peace with me. 
Ever since Isabel and i became buddies, people have been treating me differently, but ofcourse that was to expect, because she was the queen bee of the class. 

" Alright students, i'm mister Uchida and i'm your substitute for mister Caplan. " 
"What happened to mister Caplan? " one of the boys in the back of the class called. " I would prefer it if you would raise your hand first when you have a question please. " the teacher said as he sat on top of his desk. 
" Mister Caplan retired. " mister Uchida stood up and walked over to the chalk board. " Alright, we'll start with Geometry. " as the teacher started writing on the chalk board, i heard Isabel sighing. 
" I really want to get to know more about this man, i think i'm gonna ask him for tutoring. " I laughed.  " Good luck with that, he's not gonna be interested in you in any other way. " 
" We'll see about that. " Isabel said. " Homecoming dance is on friday, do you think he would come? " I shrugged " Not sure, most teachers do come but because he's new.... " 
" We should ask him. I bet he looks delicious in a tux. " 
I tried to focus on my assignment, but Isabel kept talking about how delicious Uchida would look at prom. 
" Once i''m homecoming queen he'll finally notice how beautiful i am. " Isabel said. " IF you're gonna be homecoming queen, the competition is fierce. " i said. " Melanie Clinton and Renée Smith? you got some real competition girl. " i said. " But you're probably the prettiest of all. "  i quickly said after i noticed a hurt look on Isabel's face. 
" You know you'll have my vote, along with many others, you have nothing to worry about. " i said, as i wrote stuff down. 

" Alright students, i'll tell you that i'm tutoring after school so if you need any extra help you can always come to me. " the teacher said as it was time to pack up for the next class. 
Isabel stood up. " Sir, i actually do need tutoring, do you have time for me after school? " Uchida frowned. " I'm not sure if you need any tutoring, you're a really good student. " he said. " Your grades are mostly great. " 
" But a little extra help won't hurt, right? " the teacher laughed, i noticed his smile, he showed his perfect white teeth, and cute little dimples on his cheeck as he laughed. 
"I'll only help students who really need my help. " he said. " Come on Isabel, let's go we're gonna be late. " 
" Actually Amber, i need to have a word with you, Isabel, could you tell mrs Hastings that Amber's just a little later? " 
Isabel nodded. " Sure. " she said, and grabbed her books. " I'll see you in class Ambs. " she then left the classroom, leaving me and Uchida alone. 
" What's wrong? " i asked, leaning on my table. 
" Your grades aren't really that good. " he said. " Last time you scored 34% on your last test, i think you may need my help. " 
I swallowed, and faked a smile.  " But i can do it on my own, i really have no problems with studying. " 
" I believe that, but i'm telling you this for your own good. " i nodded. " A-alright... if you think it's best for me... " i sighed deeply. " Hey, don't be sad, i'll promise you i'll help you. " I looked up into his brown eyes, and smiled. " Thanks sir...  " i said.  Looking into his eyes made my handpalms sweaty, and my heart beated faster. I couldn't believe he was standing right in front of me actually noticing me. Something i thought would never happen, actually just happened. It was nothing special, but still, he knew my name, he spoke to me, he smiled to me, he wanted to help me. Any girl would be jealous of me right now. 
" So... i'll meet you after school? " I nodded. " Yes, i will see you then. "
