The new English teacher, Miss Paulson

Detention

The school day went pretty boring on. Then lunch break started. I always hated lunch break since my relationship with eating wasn't the best plus I always sat alone. 

Today I decided to buy myself some pasta cause I couldn't remember the last time I ate something that wasn't cereal. 

I grabbed my tray with pasta and went straight to an empty table. I plugged in my headphones and started listening to Lana del Rey. 

After lunch I decided to go for a smoke since I had 10 mins left. It was probably illegal to smoke on school property but what do I have to lose right? 

I lit my cigarette and leaned back against the stoned wall. After I took a few drags I saw Miss Paulson coming outside. 

"Shit" I thought to myself and stumped out my cigarette. She looked at me with rudeness all over her face. She was probably mad at me for smoking at such a young age. A lot of people would.

"You know it's illegal to smoke on school property? And second why do you smoke at all?"

I looked down avoiding her gaze.

"Hey look at me" she said lifting up my chin.

"Sorry" I muttered. 

"I'm going to say haven't seen you smoking but if I catch you one more time-"

"I get it. I won't smoke on school property anymore" I said kind of joking.

"I would be happier if you wouldn't smoke at all"

"Well I have to disappoint you about that" I said and went past her back inside brushing her shoulder slightly.

My next lessons went all on like the ones before. Boring. 

After the bell rung I went to detention with Miss Paulson. I was very exited to see her again. I wonder if she's still mad at me for our encounter earlier.

I entered her classroom I was the only person in in the class. So I guess not a lot of people get detention.

I took a seat in the back as always but before I could even sit she said "Don't you want to sit closer to me since we are the only people in here?"

I chuckled to myself and took a seat right in front of her. She smiled at me and said "better".

She handed me a piece of paper which was some grammar stuff. She looked at the clock and said "you got 30 mins to finish this".

I started working myself through the grammar and when I finished I handed her the piece of paper.

She scanned through it and said "wow you're really good at English".

I blushed at her comment and immediately looked down to hide my blush. I wondered if she has a boyfriend or a girlfriend. She's probably not into girls anyways.

I was cut out of my daydreaming by her handing back the paper. I smiled slightly and put the paper in my bag. 

"You already finished everything you may leave" she said with the softest smile I've ever seen.

I didn't wanted to leave at all but it would be weird to stay. So I grabbed my things and went to the door. Before I opened it to leave I looked back and smiled at her saying "see you tomorrow Miss Paulson".

"See you tomorrow Jessica" was all she said before I left with the biggest smile on my face.
