The Heart Gets What it Wants

Episode 1- Forget about Amber. Stone

Her soft lips touched his, and slowly began to explore each and every corner of his mouth. Sometimes going up, and other times going down.
He smiled, and stood with his attention focused fully on her, allowing her to take full control of the situation.
"I'm going to surprise you," she claimed, looking right into his hazel eyes.
"How?" He replied, raising his thick lush eyebrows.

But suddenly before he could even get the chance to receive his answer, she followed through with her words... Raising her elegant arms, and pushing his muscular body against the wall.
"Kinda like that," she stated, smiling at him.

"Ohh, wow," he remarked, slowly wrapping his strong arms around her, and carrying her off the ground. "That was--"
"Surprising?" She said, finishing his sentence off, and kissing his lips once more.
"Yeah, a little bit," he replied, turning them both around, and putting her against the wall instead.
"Just a little?" She asked, tilting her head to the side, and putting her arms around his neck.
"Yeah, just a little," he said teasingly.
But just as she was about to speak, something else came to his mind. "You know," he uttered, "I can surprise you too."

Her eyes immediately widened at his sudden claim. "Really?" She asked, her voice low and secretive.
"Yeah," he replied, staring her down.
She grinned, and let out a toned laugh, "Prove it then," she countered. "Show me what you can do."
He smirked, and raised his eyebrow ready to accept the challenge. "Ohh," he voiced, grinning from ear to ear. "I definitely can't say no to that."

But before he could continue on to surprise her, what sounded like a man's voice began to erupt around his ears, stopping him midway.
"Hunter!" the voice called, almost stabbing the world around him.
"Hunter," it continued.

"Shit," Hunter whispered, noticing that the brilliant picture he had painted in his mind had instantly begun to fade.

"Hunter, did you hear what I said?" The voice continued, this time dealing the final blow on his imaginary picture.

"Sorry what?" Hunter asked, looking up at what seemed to be his maths teacher, Mr. Douglas, frowning angrily at him.

Mr. Douglas wore a dark brown suit, and his grey hair was cut quite short. His face was full of wrinkles, and his tall frame added to his frightening features. He wore a small pair of round reading glasses, and had them just above the tip of his long nose. You could tell by the creases on his forehead, and the twitching on his eyelids that his patience had fully run out.

"I asked you what the cosine of the equation on the board is," he grunted, glaring directly at him.

Hunter's eyes widened in reaction to the question, and darted towards the equation written on the whiteboard.

"Umm?" He voiced, realizing he had put himself in one of the many social situations he always hoped to never find himself in.

Even though he knew exactly how to answer the question, he felt excruciatingly tongue tied, and Mr. Douglas's strong glare wasn't helping him either.

"I- uhhhh?" He continued, subsequently looking left and right at his fellow classmates, beginning to feel a slight sense of stage fright.

"Answer the question," Mr. Douglas demanded, impatiently looking at his watch.
"I uhhh?"

"Let me just——"

Luckily for Hunter, before he could embarrass himself even more, a low familiar ringing began to erupt around the whole classroom. It was the familiar sound of the school bell, and like a knight in shining armor, it had given him the golden opportunity to escape the situation he had found himself in.

He looked at everyone else in the classroom, and saw them all slowly packing their things and continuing on to leave. Then he looked at Mr. Douglas, and shrugged. "That's the bell," he stuttered, pulling a flimsy smile.
