My dads best friend my teacher

Rebecca

Rebecca is one of Zoe's friends I don't understand why she is here and what she wants from me. "We need to talk it's important. Shall we go upstairs to your room?" I roll my eyes. "Sure." We go to my room, I leave the door open just in case anything happens. "What do you want?" She smiles. "Nothing, I'm just the messenger. Zoe wants you to not protest against Jackson." I scoff. "And why not?" She shrugs. "It's not Jackson's that he acted the way he did, Jackson's is ill mentally." I roll my eyes at her dumbest answer that I have ever heard. "Did it hurt?" She looks at me confused. "Did what hurt?" "When all that stupid came out your mouth." She frowns rolling her eyes at me. "You know, you became real confident and speaking up for yourself a lot." I shrug. "People change." She hums. "Well if you don't do as Zoe requested then..." I raise a brow. "She's threatening me now, you know it's illegal to get someone to sabotage the case. I can report you to the cops. I can care less about her threats, I have grown and became more confident in myself, my self esteem has never been better. Why do you and your friends do this to me? What did I ever do to you guys to make you hate me so much that you waste all your energy to make my life miserable? What did I do wrong?" The tears began to fall, she looks away shrugging. "Zoe told us what you did to her in middle school so we thought we could return the favor. She told us you took her crush from her and humiliated her in front of everyone." I look at her confused. "What?" Now she's looking confused. "What cru- oh..." I laugh to myself. "Her crush is my cousin from Canada he was going to school with us for a while. During the last days of 8th grade my cousin wanted to ask Zoe out to the dance and didn't know how to. Two days before dance he had flowers and a note. He was rehearsing with me on how he would ask her and I guess she saw us and assumed that he was asking me out instead. Zoe always jump to conclusions and never ask." Rebecca's cheeks turn red. "So this whole entire time she thought you stole her crush when in reality you were helping her. Why didn't you tell her that was your cousin?" I laugh to myself again. "I did but she aaa too busy drooling over him." She sits on my bed. "All that energy we put in to make you miserable for years were a waste of time because of a misunderstanding?" I nod. She looks up at me. "I am so sorry, I had no idea!" I shrug. "It is what it is I guess." I sit next to her. "Zoe comes back to school tomorrow." I tense. "And if you do testify against him she was going to expose you and Mr. Mendes being together." I hum. "Well the principal knows, he caught us one time making out. But, since I'm 17 it doesn't matter and it's not like he's my teacher. The principal doesn't want to lose his best teacher." She leans back. "Well the other teachers and students don't know that." Derek walks into my room. "Rebecca, what the hell are you doing here?" I get up and grab his arm. "Derek it's ok, we were just talking. She was warning me about something, Zoe wants to expose me and Shawn if I testify against him." He sneers. "Fuck her, I don't understand why she's coming back to this damn school." I sigh. "Because she has money." He groans. "Right." Rebecca gets up. "I can help, I will help testify as well, Zoe will also be in court for the trial." That's why Zoe doesn't want me to testify against him because she also had something to do with it and they are both still on probation. "Thanks Rebecca." She takes my hand. "I'm really sorry for letting all these things happen to you. Hopefully we can be friends? I'm honestly tired of Zoe's shit anyway." I laugh. "Yeah we can be friends and as friends you should know one more thing." She cocks her head to the side. "What is it?" I rub my stomach. "I'm pregnant." Her eyes widen. "Mr. Mendes got you pregnant?!" I nod. "He's excited to be a father but he is scared of my dad finding out. My mom and his parents know but my dad, he doesn't know at all. You have to keep it hush, hush." She nods. "Right, no wonder you be running out of classes randomly especially during lunch you're always sitting his classroom eating with the door lock." I blush nodding. "Yea it's to keep from throwing up again with all the smells from people's lunches." She laughs. "That makes sense, well do you guys maybe want to hang out? It's the weekend, there's a new horror movie that's out." I shrug. "Sure let me call Shawn he might want to go." Derek grabs my hand. "Would be able to handle the smells? The smell of popcorn, hot dogs, pizza." I almost gag and I quickly shake my head. "I will be fine."

Shawn: yea we can ride in my jeep

Me: ok

Shawn: are you sure? What about all those smells?

Me: I will be fine

We get to Shawn's, who is walking out in black skinny jeans and a fitted shirt. "Damn he is fine and he knows it to. You're so lucky Storm!" Shawn walks up to me. "Hey baby." He kiss my lips then quickly pulls away when he sees Rebecca. "It's ok she knows." I say pulling his to get his focus back on me and I kiss him. He deepens the kiss pulling me close. "You know that's how you got her pregnant, keep that up she might be pregnant again." Derek says and I pull away laughing.
