Forbidden Fruit (Student/Teacher Relationship)

chapter 2

First period is not that good so far. First, results i have Ryan in my class. He was the school jock. He was like a goddess to everyone. To me he was just a jerk. Personally i think he lives to make my life miserable. A month before mom's death he moved into our neighborhood. And then, for no given reason he started treating me like crap.

Secondly, my first period History teacher, Mr. Maylin, was just plain awkward. He was bald at the top of his head, wore extremely thick glasses, was freaking short, and on top of all that he had a funny accent. The other bad thing was that I had to sit in the desk next to his desk. But other than that splendid. Just splendid.

The bell rang so I darted out the door but, was stopped by a foot. I fell smack on my face books scattering everywhere.

"Oh sorry! That was totally an accident..." I can't believe the teacher does not see this! What the heck does he have those thick glasses for?!

I got up and grabbed my books. Searching for my schedule and running was not a good idea. But if I wanted to make it to class on time i was gonna have to run. Just as i was turning the corner, I ran into something. More like someone, it was that mystery teacher.

"oh sorry, seems like your just somehow physically attracted huh?" If he kept talking i was definitely going to be late.

"you never told me your--" he was cut off by the bell. Dammit. "oh god im so sorry. Its my fault you're late! Here let me give you a pass..like that? Exactly what is your name?"

"Jennifer... Jennifer Mendoza."

I answered a little too quickly. He wrote my name on the pass and then said goodbye. I ran towards Ms. Tiller's room and when I finally made it I thought I was going to die of happiness! Lily was in my class. I took a seat next to her after giving the teacher my pass.

"Gosh Jen where were you?!" she loudly whispered.

"Crashing into the new teacher... He gave me a pass since it was his fault I was late..." she stared at me like if i just told her I was going to buy her a new coach purse.

"He definitely has a thing for you! Omg I can so totally see y'all dating! He is so freaking gorgeous! Jesus, Jen i think he likes you!" she squealed.

"He doesn't know me, I don't know him, and plus he's way too old for me. So don't make up things like that in your head." She was about to start ranting about it when someone stopped her.

"Miss Johnson would you like to tell me what is so important that you had to interrupt my class?" Mrs. Tiller looked at her with a killer stare.

"Sorry ma'am. Won't do it again."

She mumbled.

"Fair enough.. So class like i was saying that as you can see on the class expectations...." She kept going on about her classroom expectations. Lily passed me a note and tucked it under my arm.

'We have so much to talk about! Lunch. You and me. Serious girl talk :)'

That is so not good I'm going to end up getting the LILY TALK! That never goes down well. So i mentally prepared myself. Before i knew it the bell rang. Meaning that it was lunch. Lily dragged me through the halls into the cafeteria. She sat me down and just when she was going to start Matt sat down. She got all wide-eyed and they started talking about how they missed each other so much.

Soon they were begging me to go with them to the club Friday. They were going off about how we haven't went in a long time, it's the perfect day, getting wasted, blah blah blah blah.... So i just agreed and Lily giggled along with Matt's chest pounding.

I got lost in my own world. Thinking about that teacher. I couldn't seem to stop thinking about him. I shook my head away from all that and peacefully ate my lunch. A little too soon the bell rang. At the same time My phone vibrated. I took it out and found a text from Johnny.

'Picking you up after school. Mechanic said your car isn't ready till tomorrow. Or are you going home with Lily?'

I had completely forgotten about my car. It had been acting up for the last two weeks so we took to a car shop and they were fixing it. I told Johnny i was going home with Lily and not to worry. I passed by locker to leave my New History and English Lit. Textbooks. I walked into the auditorium and saw at least 15 students waiting already. But no teacher anywhere in site. Matt was already sitting in a chair with some other kid. I think he was in my History class. I eouldn't be so sure. I sat next to Matt and said hey to the kid. Apparently his name was David. The bell rang. Still no teacher. Five minutes passed with still no teacher. As the time went by i became more eager to know if i had him as a teacher. After what felt like forever the doors swooshed open. There he was. Standing handsomely while all the girls drooled over him. They were all gawking at him. He somehow made a Polo shirt tucked into some Khaki Dockers look good. And to top it off Sperry Shoes. He was gorgeous. He walked towards the class. He stood at the front and smiled a dazzling white smile.

"Hello. I am Mr. Blake and I will be you're new Drama teacher."

Blake... Mr. Blake.
