Direct And Linear Relationships

Chapter 6: (Friendly) Dinner Date

My foot tapped on the ground impatiently as I waited for Ms. Minatozaki to show up for physics.

“Dude can you fucking relax? What is with you?”

I jerked my head to see Jennie giving me a crazy look.

“Nothing, I just want learn some God damn physics. So sue me.”

She eyed me carefully and I hope that she would buy my answer. She shrugged in response and took out her text book then placed it on the desk.

I relaxed after she seemed to let go of the topic.

But seriously, where in the fuck was Ms. Minatozaki? The final bell had already rung. We were all here patiently waiting in silence. And she was no where to be found. Not to mention, I just saw her this morning. So what gives?

The door opened to the classroom and my heart swelled with happiness but as I saw who it was I was over taken by misery. Instead of the beautiful, smart, funny Ms. Minatozaki, it was some old, lanky woman.

I didn’t like this, not one bit. The older woman shuffled into the room, wheezed loudly, and smelled of old shoes and fast food. She set the papers down roughly on the desk then glared at all of us.

“Is this finally the last class?” she spoke, her voice was rough and gravely.

What did she mean by finally? Weren’t we suppose to be the ones counting down the minutes and she was the one telling us to calm down? As I shook my head I caught Jennie send an annoyed look my way. I turned to look at her and we both smiled at the silent conversation we were having.

Who the fuck is this broad?

Where was Ms. Minatozaki?

“So it says here, you guys are to read chapter 2-2.3.”

“What do we call you?” yelled Sungjae from the front.

“You can call me wherever you like, as long as it’s not late for dinner.”

She laughed loudly, however we didn’t think it was that funny. Sorry, not everyone can crack jokes like Ms. Minatozaki.

“Okay so open your text books and read, when you’re done, I guess you can leave.”

So she really wasn’t going to tell us her name? Okay, whatever. The sooner I was done with this class the better. I opened it and began to read. My phone vibrated in my pocket, and I took out to look.

It was Jennie. I didn’t even see her send a text.

How about we read really fast then dip, I could use an early start to the weekend.

You don’t have to ask me twice.

Down!!

I saw her smile out of the corner of my mind and I raced through the pages. However my mind kept running back to Ms. Minatozaki slowing me down.

Maybe I should email her? But how would that go? I’d probably freak her out, she would have me transferred out of her class and to some boring teacher. No I couldn’t do that, it’s too risky. I mentally kicked myself for even entertaining that thought.

Focusing my attention on the work at hand I pushed the thoughts of my addicting physics teacher out of my head. Quickly I flipped through the pages and completed my reading. Shutting the book close, louder than I intended, I began to pack up my things.

Seungmin looked behind him and scoffed.

“You’re seriously done already Dahyun?”

His tone was condescending.
