Trouble. [L.P]

Chapter 6

Monday .. Monday .. Monday.

I huffed quietly, bouncing my legs up and down and playing with my hair. Sitting in the same class as the teacher that you've got some issues with, is the worst thing ever. After Mrs.Robins had sent me last time to the principle's office and  getting scolded on my first day this year, sitting in her class was actual hell. She kept sending me and my friends death glares every now and then. And I was dying for this class to end. Especially that we have Maths afterwards.

And after I had been missing seeing Mr.Payne yesterday, and couldn't get him off of my mind, He was basically the only one that I wanted to see today. It was so weird missing your teacher, you know? But as nice as Mr.Payne is, I suppose that it's normal. Right?

I kept re-thinking about everything he told me when he was driving me home. Honestly, I was so glad that I got to talk to him openly without being afraid because he was my teacher. It was so nice of him, just to talk to me without making things awkward.

When I found myself going crazy thinking about him - Just like right now - , I called Chris and Jane over, hoping that they'll keep my mind off of him. And It worked, we kept talking about the party and laughing about what we have done after being drunk. They were so surprised when I told them that I no more have a crush on Dylan. Of course, Chris was being offended and kept telling me that he was hot and nice and sweet and funny and .. and .. She kept going on and on about him but I just told her I wasn't feeling the same anymore and I can't control my feelings.

We also solved our homework together.

We should be given a trophy for that.

I looked up at the wall clock and thanks god there was only half an hour left. Let's just hope that I'll survive without causing any damage to Mrs.Robins face cause I was completely losing my shit right now.

..

Anxiety.

Anxiety was exactly what I was feeling when we were making our way to the Maths class. I don't know why am I feeling like this but maybe because I was so excited to see Mr.Payne after two fat ass hours with Mrs.Robins.

I was walking along with my friends while they were having a conversation that I wasn't giving it my attention at all. I was just focused on who to calm myself down, and make my heart beats slow to it's normal speed.

We walked into Mr.Payne's class one after another just like every time, but this time Mr.Payne was standing by the window that his back was facing us. When I made it to my seat and took a look closer at him, he was holding his phone to his ear and there was a deep frown drawn on his face.

My own expression started to copy his, till he turned around and shoved his phone into his pocket. "Sorry." He apologized to us, smiling halfheartedly.

He started explaining today's lesson but I couldn't brush away the feeling of concern I felt towards him. I wanted so bad to know what was going on on his mind. I wanted to know what was bothering him that much. Every time he tried to joke, his lips were smiling but his eyes were holding sadness and annoyance. I felt how much he tried to smile it away but I could tell by his eyes that there was something wrong.

Seeing him like this was making me feel sad too. I wanted him to laugh like last time. But I couldn't do anything about it. I'm not the best at cheering someone up when they're feeling down, it's Niall and Chris' expertise.

"Open your books and solve exercise one for this lesson." He ordered us, sitting down after his long explanation of the lesson. I noticed that he let out a deep sigh.
