The time had come where the young Gert's bus pulled up to the school. Since she had not had time to grab breakfast, being concerned with the amount of damage her looks could do to Mario's heart was time consuming, she knew she would be hungry by lunch. The only logical thing gert could think to do was make a trip to the mediocre cafeteria. She didnt want to stoop as low as buying an Otis Spunkmeyer muffin, for everyone knew that the chocolate chip variety would be sold out, it would be an obvious dissapointment. The time to text Pup in a desperate attempt for a 6-inch subway sandwich was fleeting and Gert couldn't risk it. She decided that the only reasonable solution would be to drink her water bottle and hide the small gurgles and groans her stomach was making. She quickened her pace to first period, gripping her water bottle tightly. Gert was approaching her class when she saw him. Her saw holder in the FLESH. Mary-o V.
"H-h-h-hi" Gert's shaky voice croaked.
"Hey Gertie!" Mario said, leaving his perch from outside a REAL teachers classroom.
Gert was no golddigger, she knew of Mary's substitute salary and she excepted it with nobility and grace. The only thing on her mind was her lips against his in the teachers lounge, she had waited for too long and today was the day. The only worry flashing across her mind at this point was that fellow substitutes would see the lipstick smeared on his mouth and loathe him. But this did not affect Gert, so she ignored it.
"How are you?" She asked smiling.
"Im great!! How about you?"
"Im super tired, need some coffee in my system."
This was her plan to get him in the lounge. Her heartbeat quickened. What if he doesnt fall into the script she oh so carefully had drafted over the past week.
"Follow me, Gert."
She felt the butterflies in her stomach errupt. Gert's time had come. The kiss was nearing.
