When I met them...again

Chapter 2

Bridget's POV

I make my way to school, as I walk I call my boyfriend. I'm not really sure if I love him, I mean there's them after all. He is the only one who's ever loved me though and it's not like 2 married teachers who are at least 10 years older than me would want me. But hey a girl can dream right? I hang up the call as I walk into school dreading my first period class. It was with her, it was with Jamie. I get so distracted by her jaw dropping beauty. I walk over to my locker and grab my books before suddenly being pushed over hitting the ground hard.

"Ha better watch out you anorexic cunt the wind might blow you away." I have had an eating disorder for years now. I'm worryingly skinny but I'm actually surprisingly healthy at the moment so I choose to ignore them. Besides, they always torment me. It doesn't bother me much anymore, I don't let it bother me. I walk to my class and there's whispers about us having a substitute this period. I'm neither happy nor annoyed. I mean I don't get to see her but I might actually pay attention this time. Then I see the teacher round the corner well fuck. Katie walks up to the door and unlocks it. I take my usual seat anyway up the front far left of the class. Katie started talking to us about the great depression. I think I'm not sure I just can't pay attention when they teach me. But oh my lord, they are beautiful. Maybe 20 minutes into the lesson Jamie walks in. There are a few exchanged words between the 2 teachers before they both leave. Shit they left. I'm now prey in lion territory. The second that door closed behind them it started. Everyone was talking but there were some who were throwing stuff at me and of course the anorexic jokes. I don't really think I can stand it.

Not long after Jamie returns on her own, unfortunately. But hey there's one at least. Jamie picked up the lesson right where Kate left off and again I was sitting there staring at her. I mean what's not to love to be honest she's everything they both are. God I fell and I fell hard. When all of a sudden I hear my name. Shit she was asking if I was paying attention. Of course i'm not, might as well admit to it I guess. She was clearly disappointed in me. I never wanted that from her no never. She does want to see me after class though. Oh my god what if i'm caught what if she notices i've been staring would I have to admit to it. Those thoughts were rushing through my head for the rest of the class and finally that dreaded bell rang. I could just leave, walk out with the rest of the kids. No she'd catch me I know she would. So I start to pack my bag and sling it over my shoulder before slowly approaching her desk.

"Bridget there are multiple things we need to talk about." Oh shit multiple yea I'm definitely caught i'm done for my life is over might as well go dig my grave.

"Your grades are slipping." Slipping? My grades? Dam but what's the other thing? Just say that you know I've been admiring you please and get this over with.

"Tutoring from both me and Katie 2 days a week Wednesday and Friday." Tutoring? From both of them? A dream came true.

"Yes, tutoring would be amazing, thank you!" With that I leave the class and go on with the rest of my day.

I come home and find the house to still be empty. I wonder if they're coming back? I mean they're still sending me money and paying the bills so I'm sure they'll come back, right? I head to the kitchen and make some noodles before sitting on the couch and doing some homework. I'm about halfway through my work when my phone rings. It's jessie.

"Hey Bridget, how are you?"

"Fine love, why are you calling, shouldn't you be at work?"

"I decided to check on you or something. What'd you do today."

"I mean just school I guess. I'm getting tutored now though for maths and history and-"

"Yea yea you don't care about those classes I know but anyways I want you to do something for me baby."

"Oh uhm I guess what is it?"

"Start packing your shit because you're moving in with me."

"I don't think I can do that, what about school?"

"Fuck the system Bridget with me you'll be living like a queen trust me."

I take a moment to consider all of this.

"...How many weeks?"

"Until you move I'll give you 4 tops, understand?"

"Yea understood."

"Good see you soon."

With that he hung up again. I was left alone with my thoughts so instead of trying to cure my boredom I went to bed in anticipation for the coming day.

I wake feeling fresh ready for the day ahead of me. I have a shower, put on some tights a white button down and a black dress on top of it. I step back into the bathroom to do my hair and makeup. I do my hair in a half up half down look with a bow holding it together and I do a natural kinda makeup look. Then I make a smoothie and head off to school. I make my way through the halls and do my best to ignore all the muttering and whispering going on around me. You know Jessie's offer is slowly sounding more and more tempting. I got through all my classes. I didn't have history or maths so I was focused all day. The end of day the bell rang and I was about to leave when I heard someone call my name.

"Bridget!" I turn around and see Katie looking at me and then I remember I've got tutoring.

"Right coming, sorry miss."

"It's fine dear, come on now." We walk together down to her class and Jamie is already waiting.

"Well let's get started." Jamie gestures for me to sit across from her. We get started and I do my absolute best to pay attention but it's truly near impossible when suddenly both teachers go to leave.

"Bridget dear we're just going to step out for a minute we'll be back."
