*Ari's pov*
I slumped in the car seat as I reversed out of the driveway. I didn't feel like going to school today. Like any other day at school it meant that I would get tormented by the "cool" kids. I never really fit in because I've been into books and not into dolls as a little girl. That grew on me. I'm not a jock or junkie. Nor a goth. I'm that loner that doesn't have many friends. That invisible girl with the addiction of learning. This girl had the excitement for studying calculus. I've always loved calculus. That's my absolute favorite subject. I'm happy I have it before lunch cause my mind always goes to another world in the afternoon. I parked the car in the parking lot of Westbrook high. Home of the Vikings. I made it to my locker and got my textbooks out. I didn't bother talking to anyone. I opened my calculus textbook and started to read as I walked the hallways. Right before I could turn the page I went face first into someone. I was launched back with my book on the floor. I looked at who I bumped into and I met bright green eyes. I felt like they saw right threw me.

" oh my god I'm so sorry. I should be more careful where I'm go-"

"It's alright I'm fine" he let out a chuckle.

He was wearing a suit with his hair quiffed. Was he a student?

"What's your name?" He asked

"I'm Ariah" I replied

"Chris.. I mean Mr. Collins" he laughed

"Your a teacher?" I asked stunned

He nodded. Then he picked up my textbook

"Hey, I teach calculus!" He said

I started blushing. One of my worst pet peeve of myself blushing for no god damn reason. It gets me in trouble all the time!

"That's cool. I love it!" I smiled

He smiled back with shiny white teeth. Then the bell rang and we both scurried away. How the hell is he a teacher? Better yet my calculus teacher?!

I went through the day reading that textbook. I basically can recite that book from memory! Then it was the period before lunch. My calculus class. I sat in the way back and opened my books waiting for the rest of the class to enter. The teacher was out of the room to so I decided to check my social media. I'm not famous like Cameron Dallas but I was getting there with 750k followers on Instagram. 900k on YouTube and 1million on Twitter. I've made videos on bullying, self-confidence you name it I've done it. I don't have the proper equipment but I've been doing my best by working after school at the elementary being a tutor. I was checking my direct messages when I heared the door open. I looked up to see Mr. Collins.

"Good afternoon Ms. Johnson" he spoke

"Hiya!" I squeaked

Before he could say anything piles of student came flooding in. A lot of girls were surrounding him. Not a suprise. Many thots go to this school. After he got them to settle down he started class. The biggest bitch Sofia raised her hand.  He let her ask her question.

"How old are you? You look like one of the student!" She giggled.

Fake!

"I'm turning 22 in December. I got to graduate Yale at the age of 18" he replied

He went to Yale omg!

After calculus finished I went to leave when I heared someone call my name.

"Ariah please come here" Mr. Collins said

"Yes Mr. Collins" I answered.

We spoke for the entire lunch period. I was so interested cause  1 he went to my dream college. he was gorgeous and 3 he was my teacher. Before I left he gave me a slip of paper and I shoved it into my pocket of my jeans. I waved and left the room.

*after school*
I walked to my car and dug my hand into my pocket for the paper. Once I got it I read it. It was his phone number ! Wtf?!?!
Should I call it? Should I not?
I did.
After 3 rings an amazing voice answered.
A- Ariah C- Chris
C- hello?
A- hi it's Ariah do I have the wrong number?
C- no no it's Chris!
A- hi just curious why did you give me your number? *chucle*
C- oh well I wanted to see if you were free tonight for dinner
A- um yeah! But can't you get fired?
C- I know where no one will know us
A- it's kinda risky but I would love to Mr. Collins!
C- alright since we are outta school call me Chris! You're making me feel old. I'll pick you up at 7
A- okay Chris bye!
C- bye beautiful
*end call*
Wow my first real date is my teacher... Cool. I went home and finished my homework. I went to my room and got changed into a floral dress with combat boots. I put on my jean jacket and did my cosmetics/hair. I heard a doorbell and ran downstairs. I opened the door to see Chris my teacher in normal clothing.

"Hi Chris!" I greeted
" Hey Ari ready to go." He asked

I nodded and I closed the door following him to his Mercedes.

" so I've heard that you are famous on YouTube." He said

"Yeah.. It kinda my escape from all of this stress" I answered.

"Stress?"

"Yeah since I was little I've always had problems socializing with others because of how much I was bullied. I couldn't say a word without being judged. I get stress going to places with many people. I've never been to a party in my life. Do you know how bad that is?"

"That's pretty bad."
