Teacher's Pet

12

I'm sitting at a big lunch table with Cristina, Owen, Alex, Izzie, George and a couple of others who's names I don't know. Two of them are the mean girls who mocked me about my poetry the first English class. I'm pretty sure the redhead's name is Addison but the other one I don't remember.

We're all talking but I'm mainly talking to Cris. All of a sudden Addison bends forward and whispers to the whole table. "Walking-sex alert three o'clock." We all turn our heads to see who she's talking about.

It's Derek.

I smile to myself as butterflies fly around in my stomach. He's standing in the line to get food while talking to another teacher. The other teacher is an old lady, so Addison can't possibly be talking about her.

"Have you done him yet Addie?" her friend says.

"No I've made some moves but he hasn't picked up on them yet. I think he's just shy."

"That or he doesn't want to get fired." her friend says.

I look down at the table, suddenly feeling guilty.

"Or he's just not into dumb redheads." Alex chuckles.

Addison hits him.

"Of course he's into me idiot, have you seen the way he looks at me?" she says confidently.

"Your seat is behind Meredith's, how do you know it's not her he's looking at?" Alex says.

Everyone's eyes turn towards me. I wanna sink down through the floor.

"Uhm.. he's for sure not looking at me.." I mumble.

"Damn right he's not." Addison says.

Cristina rolls her eyes. "Don't be such a bitch Addison."

"You need to get laid." Alex says to Addison.

"I will! As soon as Mr Shepherd comes to his senses.."

"He will Addie, and you know what they say.." her friend says.

"No Callie, what do they say?" Cristina asks bored rolling her eyes. I chuckle quietly.

The Callie girl rolls her eyes at Cris before turning to Addison again. "The shy ones are always crazy mindblowing in bed."

She got that one right..

I watch as Derek walks from the lunch line with his tray of food. He's walking in our direction. My heart is beating faster. He looks extremely good today.

He's about to pass by our table when he notices how all of us stopped talking as soon as he came near. "How are we all doing today?"

"Good." "Great." "Fine." "Wonderful." People around the table say and begin with their own conversations again. Derek chuckles and shakes his head. He locks eyes with me and gives me a quick wink before walking away to an empty table further down the dining hall.

Cristina nudges my leg. "Don't even try fooling me that he didn't just wink at you." she whispers so only I can hear.

I look over at Derek as he sits down to eat alone. "No you're right." I whisper back and turn to her.

"Cris I have to tell you something later."

"What is it?"

"Not now, later."

"What no you can't say A without saying B!"

"Someone might hear!"

"Just whisper it!"

I roll my eyes and put my hand to her ear to whisper so no one can hear. Her eyes widen in surprise. "Omg.." she mumbles. I pull away from her ear.

She points and looks at me deadly serious. "You. Me. Your room. After dinner. Bring ALL the details." I giggle nodding.

"Oooh! Is Yang and Grey having sex in Grey's room after dinner tonight?" Alex mocks.

"In your dreams Evil Spawn." Cristina rolls her eyes. I chuckle.

"You're such a perv Alex." Addison says.

"Oh like you trying to fuck Shepherd is any better?" he says back. Addison narrows her eyes at him. "I'm not 'trying' to fuck him, he wants it just as much as I do, I'm just helping him speed up the process."

"And how's that going for you huh?" Alex smirks.

"You know what?" Addison says and stands up. We all look up at her. "I'm going over to him right now." I roll my eyes when Addison can't see me. "Yeah you go get him girl." Callie encourages her friend.

Addison walks over to Derek and sits down next to him without even asking. They seem to begin talking. Derek's back is turned to us and they're to far away for anyone to be able to hear what they're saying. She's twirling her hair around her finger with one hand and the other she has placed on top of Derek's. She starts giggling loudly across the room.

Is he making her laugh? I clench my fists underneath the table and have trouble sitting still. Cristina notices my weird behavior. "Mer you ok?" she says. "I hate her." I say. "We all do." she says.

"Why does she have to like Derek? Out of all people?"

"Because he's hot. But Mer seriously stop being jealous."

"I'm not jealous."

"You are and it doesn't suit you."

"Why is he letting her sit there then??"

"Because he doesn't want to be rude. Teachers have to treat their students with respect."

"Respect my ass.." I mutter.

"Come on you know he only has eyes for you."

"I wouldn't be so sure."

Cristina chuckles at me. "I've only told you like a million of times the way he's looking at you. And you literally just confirmed it when you told me you guys had sex again."

I blush. "Yeah yeah let's hope you're right." I say.

"I'm always right. But I get it. I wouldn't like a bitch flirting with my man either."

I silently stick my middle fingers up at Addison under the table.
