"You think you're different to me, don't you?" I tilt my head, staring at each other's lips.
Without breaking eye contact, he slowly stands, making him in control with the advantage in height. I'm the one looking up at him now.
"And you...

"As you all know already, yesterday we had a discussion. And I've been convinced to have the class read the physical copy of Pride and Prejudice." Mr. Dixon announces to everyone as I sit in triumph.
"He means you convinced him, I guess me telling you to unbutton a few buttons of her shirt helped him change his mind too" Quinn whispers into my ear as he speaks.
She did tell me to do that but I don't even think its something him or anyone else isn't used to. I liked to be comfortable and sometimes this shitty uniform lacked that so I have to go ahead and make myself comfortable.
"So you can all thank Ms.Martin. Ill be handing out books for everyone today and giving you all a deadline. Read it on your own time, the essays I read will determine if you truly read it or not so everyone should make sure they're reading it." He says as he passes the books around, once he stands in front of our table he stops.
"I'm hoping your essay is excellent due to how determined you are to read the book." He looks down at me as he drops the book in front of me.
"Oh I've already read it." I say as I look at him, he raises a brow.
"In middle school, I don't remember much but I'd like to see how different it is from when I read it the first time."I tell him as I flip through the pages. Looks like I have a new book for tonight.
"I'll be looking forward to reading your essay then." He moves on to the next row.
"He was so getting romantic with you. When has he ever said anything about looking forward to reading your stuff?! I saw his eyes wander too." Quinn speaks almost loud enough for everyone to hear.
"You're delusional Quinn." I sigh as I flip the book and start reading the back.
"I know. But this time, maybe I'm not." She mutters quietly now.
I look up towards Mr.Dixon, sure he was an attractive man and all but he wasn't what I wanted. Quinn's just too invested in those movies she watches.
"Hey, can I come over later? I kind of don't want to be home. My step moms home and you know what shes like." She tells me how her step mom is such a hard ass and all she does is pretend to play the role of her real mother while her dads off at work, that's all I really know about it, or all I've remembered.
"sure, Ill give you a ride." I tell her before Mr.Dixon begins speaking again about work and our homework for the next week.
