Everyday (on hold)

Chapter 23

It has been two weeks since our kiss. I go to school as usual and act normal around Mr. Hemmingsworth as if it never happened, he does the same. In class, it is normal, no weird eye contact or suspicious people. We haven't kissed since, although I think about him everyday. Things with Skylar are okay, we have been acting normal like how we usually act around each other, and she is still determined to get into their group. So far, she has only skipped one day of school since that day. I decided not to tell her about what happened with Mr. Hemingsworth and I because I don't want anyone finding out. If anyone were to find out, he could go to jail! And I really don't want that to happen. Its finally Thursday, my birthday is officially in 8 days! Next Friday! I'm so excited! I think Skylar has been planning a party for me but I'm not too sure, but I do want a party, and if I do, I will probably invite Abby and the others. I will have to talk to Skylar about it since she is the expert at parties. I am still a little mad about the whole 'dobbing me in' thing but I haven't confronted her yet.

I start getting dressed for school when I decide to check my school email. I always like to check it incase of anything that I will need to do at school. As I look at my inbox, I see an email from Mr. Hemingsworth sent this morning. Oh no, this is what I have been trying to avoid the past two weeks! Hopefully its just about school and not what happened.

I decide to open it when I read –

'Dear Macey,

If possible, I would like to arrange another meeting with you today in my office at lunch. I would like to discuss some of the homework with you if that is okay. Hope to see you then

Kind regards, Mr. Hemingsworth.'

Hmm, I wonder what that is about, we didn't get homework last lesson so I wonder what he is talking about. Maybe he is wanted to talk about what happened, but I will bring my math books just incase.

I continue to get dressed and I try to look as good as I can if I am going to meet wit him. I decide to wear my hair out and put some mascara on before I leave the house. I drive to school with my mum. Luckily Skylar is at school again today, I hate being alone. We go to our first class, which is science. It was a pretty fun lesson because we did some experiments but the whole time Skylar and I were mixing chemicals together. At morning tea, we sit at our usual spot and I talk to Skylar about her new boyfriend. She tells me that he still hasn't told everyone about them but he keeps saying he will. It sounds like she still really likes him. I really want to tell her about Mr. Hemingsworth but I don't, I don't want to tell anyone. After morning tea, I have English and art. I enjoy art; it's really calming and helps me think. It is a really good way to express myself and all the emotions that I have built up inside my head. During art, my nerves are getting stronger, I'm getting so nervous to talk to Mr. Hemingsworth. I don't know how to act around him now when its just us two alone, and what if he gets mad, or tries to do it again. I don't know what to do. I don't want him to get in trouble but I want to kiss him again. I'm so indecisive. I wish I could talk to Skylar about it, she would help me, but I cant. This is too big for anyone to know, even her. This is really bad.

As I am painting out my emotions, the bell rings. Its lunch, oh no! I tell myself to take deep breaths and to not freak out. I walk to my locker and put my stuff away and grab my math books. I start to head to his office when Skylar bumps into me.

"Hey mace! Where are you going?" Oh no! I forgot to tell her about my meeting with Mr. Hemingsworth today! Oh well.

"Oh, um. I asked Mr. Hemingsworth to help me with some of the work we did the other day, I don't understand it and you know how I always like to do well in my subjects!" I say, trying to cover it up.
