My Short Stories

The Spicy Substitute Pt.1

I tried to find an ounce of motivation to go to school. I looked everywhere for something, anything to make me want to go and I came back to the same solution; nothing. "Ugh it's like trying to get excited about an execution." I eventually gave up, and walked to the kitchen for a quick breakfast. While I was eating I noticed a familiar red car pull in the yard. A sly smirk appeared on my face as my 1900 broken half working android began ranging.

I answered and slowly began cleaning up, and gathering my things. "Right on time I see."

"Ha ha very funny. I'm outside."

"Yeah I know. I saw you pull up."

"Okay well can you hurry up?"

"Nah I might take my time."

"Cousin we don't have time for this."

"I know." I hung up, grabbed her favorite snack and headed to her car. "You think you're so funny." I said and hopped in her car while she reprimanded me. "Quite literally." "Oh whatever." She drove, more so sped off to school.

~At School~

Kid were bustling to their classes, and the hall was jam packed. We wove pass everyone and out of shape made it to our class. We didn't have assigned seats, but me and my cousin sat by each other every class (unless we were arguing). As we were sitting we noticed that half class didn't show, and strangely there was no teacher.

I nudged my cousin who was unpacking her things and gestured to the front of the class. She shrugged and continued to unpack her things. "Maybe he got tired of these kids and ran away." She laughed causing me to chuckle. I didn't think much of it anymore and began unpacking my things. Five minutes to class everyone showed and there was still no teacher.

"I heard that if the teacher is a no-show 15 minutes after class starts you can leave." The class clown told his friends although everyone heard him. 7 minutes after class started the principal walked in followed by a very handsome man. He wore a nice suit, his hair was slicked back, and he had a warm smile.

He immediately caught my eyes, and apparently someone elses too. The basic white girls who sit on the other side of me began squealing and whispering. I rolled my eyes, and looked back front. "Good morning everyone." The principal spoke with an annoying energetic voice. "I hope everyone is having a good morning. I would like to introduce you guys to Mr. Christian Long, your new teacher."

New? I didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, but I am ready to find out. "Alright Mr. Long I will leave it to you." The principal gave him a hefty pat on the back, and left.

"Hello guys it's very nice to see you all." Even his voice is angelic. "I hope this year will be a good year for you guys, and I look forward to being your teacher." He finished his sentence with a smile that melted my heart. "Any questions?" One of the white girls beside us raised their hands. "Are you married or do you have a wife?" She flirtatiously twirled her hair and batted her eyes.

"What a disgusting question on the first day." My cousin barked at her. "And what are you gonna do about it? Cwy?" She said and fake pouted. "Why don't you go choke on your Starbucks straw you carbon plastic copy." She opened her mouth horribly offended, and faced away. Christian cleared his throat uncomfortable already.

"Uhh.. no I'm not married and I don't have a girlfriend." I felt a small sense of relief come over me. "Anyways I would like to play a game with you guys." He pulled the chair from the teachers desk, and sat on it backwards. "I want you all to go around the room state your name and give one fact about you."

One by one each kid took their turns and finally landed on me. I've done this before so many times but knowing he was also watching me made me nervous. "My name is Jae'lyn I'm 18 years old and a fact about me issss.." I tried to think of a fun fact that wasn't too revealing. "And a fun fact about me is-" I was interrupted when the basic white girl coughed something under breathe that made my skin boil.

"Tranny" Without thinking twice I slammed my hands on the desk and stared at her with hatered beaming from my eyes. "I can show you what this tranny can do b*tch." I looked back to the front of the classroom, and saw that Christian looked impressed and mortified at the same time. "I'm sorry I didn't mean that." I lied. "A fun fact about me is that I'm really into cooking, and making YouTube videos."

"Very good. Thank you Jae'lyn but language like that isn't gonna be tolerated in this classroom." I felt semi-bad but not bad enough. "Yes sir." Christian stared at me up and down and smirked before moving on. I wondered if anyone else seen that. And what did it mean?
