Third hour was again finally here. I watched the clock as the release bell finished ringing. Be then everyone was cleared from the room.
About a minute after the bell as usual in walks Riley. She walked over to her desk and sat her stuff on the desk but didn't sit down. She walked to the end of the rows and begun straightening them.
I got up and decided to help. I came over to the other end of the row and started fixing that part up. A few desks later we got close like last time.
"Your not planning to touch my hand again are you Mr.McDowell?!" She asked with joke like meaning.
"Uh not if you want!" I answered.
She looked over towards me and blushed. She turned back and fixed the next desk then swung her self at me. She collided with me as I stumbled to the side. She smiled and began to chuckle. I smiled back and fixed the desks I fell onto.
The rest of the students came in as the bell rang.
"SIT DOWN" I screamed to the class.
"What if your sharpening a pencil?" Asked Christian.
"You don't sharpen your pencil for five minutes while talking to surrounding friends!" I replied.
He took the pencil from the sharpener then walked back to his desk. The rest of the student grew silent as I began to talk again.
"Today we go to the library for book check out and if you don't get your you know what together you can get it together with Boggs in the office!" I explained.
"So line up!" I said.
Everyone got up including Riley as they formed a not so great line. Sometimes I wonder if they passed the kindergarten subject of lines and shaped for how horrible they make a line or a circle at times!
"Riley stay here with me! Ms.Kiamco take the others to the library thanks!" I said.
They walked out as Riley came over towards me. She stopped and looked at me as if I was crazy.
"What did you call me back for?".
"Well I wanted to ask you something personal!"
"I'll answer but it depends on the question!"
"Ok then here I go!"
I waited to ask as I looked straight into her eyes. Her eyes are crystal blue making them very intimidating and hard to not notice.
"I uh maybe heard from a certain student said that you like me like that so I need to know if that's true?"
I asked.
"Uh let's see for starters I never said anything like that cause I like . . ." She paused.
"Go on" I said.
"I uh . . .! I like another teacher!"
She spit out with embarrassment.
"What teacher?" I asked her.
"I can't tell you straight on but I can give clues! He's tall, has a military looking hair cut, around his late thirty's, brown hair with faded blue eyes, science teacher!" She hinted.
I put the pieces together as she walked out the door. I sat down and write it all down. I stared at it then came up with the conclusion of my best friend teacher. Mr.Macha!
I laid my arms on the desk and caught my head as I dropped it into my hands. I sat there at my desk with no hope left in me. I was crushed.
