stuck with him

4. chapter

I was getting ready for school, when I suddenly received a text message from Nate.

Nate
missed me?

                                                               what do u want??

I need the homework

                                                                                     no.

oh come on alaska
I saved ur life yesterday 
 
                                                 you were the one who put
                                                 me into that situation

just admit it
you loved how I saved you

                                       tbh I would've rather drowned
 

and I would've enjoyed letting u
just send me the homework already
just one time?

                                                                                      no
why are u even asking me

just forget it
I should've known that u would've acted that way
that's so typical of you

I just stared at my phone. Why did this kinda hurt?

that's so typical of you

Am I really that shitty?
Wait, am I really hurt because of Nate?
No.
He's just acting like an idiot again.
that's so typical of him

I was sitting in my history class, not paying attention, when the teacher suddenly asked me a question.

"So Alaska, could you please repeat what I just said?", my teacher asked.

"Uhm I didn't really pay attention...", I admitted.

"That's what I thought.", she said.

Why is she trying to embarrass me? Ugh I'm so sick of this.

"So, what were you thinking about? I mean it has to be way more important than my lesson, if you don't pay attention."

Suddenly everyone started laughing.

"I uh-"

"You what?", she mimicked me.

How can she be a teacher?

"I was just thinking about how you made it to be a teacher. I mean you're acting like an actual child.", I laughed bitter.

Suddenly the classroom was quiet.
I felt all eyes on me.

"What did you just say?", she answered shocked.

"You heard exactly what I said."

"Alaska Bailey, you're going to apologize to me. Right now!", she yelled.

Should I apologize? I probably went a little to far.
Before I could think about it I said:

"Why should I? You're the one who disturbed me while I tried to distract myself from your boring lesson!"

oops. It just came out.

Everyone gasped. I looked around the room, before I saw Nates eyes all over me. He's probably enjoying this.

"That's enough, Alaska!  You will be having detention after school!"

This can't be true. I can already feel Nate laughing his ass off.

"That's not fair!", I said, trying to talk her out of this.

"Well, I don't care! Now stop talking!", she yelled.

"Why are you acting like such a bitch?", I heard someone say.

If i'm being honest, I know who that someone is.
It just wouldn't make sense. I turned around to see if I was right. And yes, Nate Flores just stood up for me.

But why?

"ENOUGH! Detention for both of you!", my teacher yelled.

I pretty sure that her face turned red.

Then I looked at him. Our eyes met. I felt something in my stomach. I smiled at him.

He looked away.

Great! You just made a fool out of yourself, Laska.
Why don't you stand up and propose to him.
I feel so embarrassed.

After school I mentally prepared myself for the detention and then entered the room.

The only person in the room was him.
