- Mr. Smith Above -
I walked into class and sat down in my regular seat, in the front. Today was Friday, teachers Casual day.
When lucky....I mean, smith, walked in. Man he looked great but I tried best not to stare or show any look on my face. Hell, I tried not to look at him at all. All because of last night. Smith had on his usual black shirt and jeans. (Picture above)
"Class today we will be starting a new book" he announced. "Awwwwwwwh" the whole class whined. "Ah come on. Yall won't get the books today. It's Friday and I'm feeling nice. So, we are just gonna cover the basics" he passed out the papers. "The book is called Classified Adultery"
"Since I got this book verified. We can read it! It's a little inappropriate but not that inappropriate. It's simply about a teacher falling in love with a student." He laid his eyes on me. I looked down at my paper and pretended like I was reading it. "Now I don't want to spoil the book" he chuckled. "But it's not all about sex. They fall in love because of each other's personality, the way they carry themselves, their internal and external beauty...etc. this book is to show you guys that look and age shouldn't.....matter. I'm not trying to make tall break the law" he chuckled. "I'm not saying that 17 year olds should hit on 6 year olds...that's clearly wrong, especially because 6 year olds don't know anything about what they're feeling. I'm saying that if you know that you both feel the same way about each other Yall should go for it!" When I looked up. His eyes were still on me. I bit my lip a little and noticed I didn't write my name on my paper. I took out my pencil and wrote my name. "This actually sounds like a good book and not old stuff like the Odyssey." One student said. "It's because this was recently written. A few years back. The only reason I'm giving this book to you guys is because of the literature. The way the author words his sentences his tone and choice of words. It captures your emotions you really start to feel for this book and I'm not saying it just to be saying that." he sat down.
"You're such a book geek" I laughed. "Ha-ha" he sarcastically laughed while he looked down, back up, and smiled. "That's why I'm teaching the class Ariana. I love books and English."
Oh so now he wanna get sassy with me. I smiled as I looked back at my paper.
"Now" smith moved on
"Pst" I heard someone say. I turned around and it was Claire. "What" I whispered. "what the hell was that" she mouth. "What?" I whispered again. "What the hell was that." Again, she mouthed. "What?" I again, said.
"You and" she looked up front where the teacher was. "No" I shook my head. "What the hell Claire he's a teacher."
"Whatever" she rolled her eyes
"I see the connect-"
"ARIANA, CLAIRE" smith called. I turned around and faced forward in my seat. "Yes mr. Smith" Claire answered. "Stop talking in my class" he yelled. Then went back to teaching.
I turned back around and Claire winked. I gave her a disgusted look and turned back around, smiling. He's hot as FRICK. His personality is.....perfect for me. I mean, he's all I need, but, he's a teacher. I can't. Especially what happened last night! I can not tell Claire about that.
The bell finally rung. I gathered my things while everybody else left. I bet you're wondering what type of friend leaves her friend behind after school. Well, Claire has to go to work straight after school. She has no time to stop or she'll be late. I try to take my time anyway. I don't really like to rush after my last class of the day. At least not lately. I finally zipped up my book bag and slid out from my desk.
"Ariana" smith sighed. "Yeah"I took a deep breath. He walked up to me. "Last night was...a big mistake."
I was so nervous I started to get a little fidgety.
"I know" I looked down. "Don't get me wrong I l-" I cut him off. "Lucky can we talk about this some place else. We are still in school" I frowned a little "yeah, right" he looked around and laughed nervously. "Definitely not here.....I mean in this city" I looked up at him. "We can't be seen around people will get suspicious you know students like to gossip" he nervously chuckled again. " there's a place I go to eat because....why not. It's a very small city. It's about an hour thirty away is that fine?" he asked. "Yeah, so at six...I'll meet you at six" I smiled. He nodded. I hesitated to walk away but I did anyway. I started panting walking down the hall "oh my gosh why to I keep doing this! This is wrong! I can't keep doing this!" I kept saying to myself.
:::::::::::
It was 5:50
Lucky actually made a reservation for us. I sat down at our table lucky no where in sight. I slouched a little bit when I took out my phone and started going through my Twitter. I had a direct message from Claire. Why dont she just text me. I rolled my eyes.
Clairepip: About that convo earlier
Aripop: can you actually not right now
Clairepip: Ariana, come on tell me.
I rolled my eyes. I decided to take a picture and send it to her. The restaurant wasn't rinkydinky it was nice! Really nice. So why not
Clairepip: you on a date with mr.smith?
Aripop: Claire no I'm not. I'm being so serious right now Claire. lucky and I are not.....whatever you wanna call it! I honestly don't know where he is or what he's doing right now! I'm at a restaurant with my mom she's in the bathroom at the moment. Claire it hurts when you think I'm dating or have the hots for a freaking teacher when I'm really not and I really don't.
Clairepip: who's lucky?
Holy shit! I typed his real name! That totally slipped out. Uhhh
Aripop: huh?
Clairepip: you said lucky and I. Who TF is lucky.
Aripop: oh, oh wow bahahaha My phone must've auto corrected.
Clairepip: anyway, pop I'm sorry for accusing you. I though something was going on but I'm clearly wrong. Have fun with your mommy date. :)
I read and as soon as I finished reading lucky came and sat down. I slipped my phone in my purse and smiled. "Hey" he smiled
"Hi" I smiled back. "Look, like I was saying ea-" he got cut off by the waiter. "Hi my name is Jeff I'll be your waiter what would you like to drink" he looked at lucky
"I'll have...a sweet tea lemon on the side please" he answers. "And for you ma'am"
"The same" I smiled. " now, the same has alcohol in it are you okay with that"
"No! I meant the same as what he's having. You know, the sweet tea with lemon
"Oh I'm sorry Hun. I'll be back with your drinks"
"He's odd" lucky smiled. "So anyway...I was saying that..." He looked me in my eyes and his large hand intertwined with mine. It felt so wrong, yet so right!
My heart started to beat faster. I was getting uncomfortably hot.
"I like you...a lot and I want to be with you" he paused. "But you're my student and I'm your teacher" he whispered.
"Nobody will know" I smiled.
"I haven't told any of my friends and I don't plan on telling! Please I want to explore this and I know it's wrong and illegal but I can't stop thinking about you lucky! Yes I'm your student, but what's stopping us of nobody knows a thing? " I exclaimed
"you're right but If anybody did find out I would loose my job and go to jail" He pointed out.
"It won't hurt to try?" I shrugged giving off a smile of hope. This can work out! This will work out!
