Focus {ON HOLD}

Chapter 2

(Picture above is of Mr.Grant)

*beep-beep-beep*

I slam my hand on my alarm clock, turning it off. My eyes open and I stretch, letting out a groan. I am not a morning person.

I do my usual morning routine: brush teeth, wash face, change into clothes, do my hair, and eat breakfast.

I decided to wear a turquoise blouse with ripped jeans and leather booties, and my hair was down in beachy waves.

For breakfast, I make a quick bagel with cream cheese and iced coffee. I sit at the counter and eat in pure silence since my parents already left for work.

When I'm done eating and scrolling through Instagram, I grab the keys to my car and leave.

"Goodmorning Eva," says Ms. Hall, my school's secretary, in a monotone voice. "how can I help you?"

"Well I was wondering if there is any way I can get extra help in writing after school? Since I want to be a writer..." my voice trails off as she gets out of her desk and walks into an office.

I wait there for about 2 minutes when Ms. Hall walks out the room with Mrs. Davis, the councilor. 

"Okay sweetie, so if you need the extra help, you can talk to your English teacher and have them send me an E-mail." Mrs. Davis informs me.

"Okay, thanks." I say and walk out.

Since there was 10 minutes until class started, I decided to go talk to Mr.Grant about getting help.

"Hello?" I ask as I knock on the door.

"Come in."

I enter the room and walk to my desk.

"So Mr.Grant, I was wondering if there is any way I can get some type of extra help with writing."

"Yeah, well I guess you can come in during 6th period since I have no class."

"Okay sound good. Oh and can you e-mail Mrs. Davis about this?"

"Of course." He smiles and shoots me a wink before continuing on his computer.

The bell rings, saving me from this awkward situation.

But did I actually want that moment to end?

I take my seat a get out my supplies. Class carries on as usual. Today we learned about of to properly place quotes in our writing. Fun.

My second period is Calculus which Nikki is also in.

"Wait, he told you that? Ugh I can't believe you're still with him!" She raises her angry voice after I tell her about yesterday's situation.

"He's actually really sweet..... And cute." I defend him.

"Yeah and those other girls that he is hooking up with also think he's cute!"

I roll my eyes and continue on with my work.

*ring, ring, ring*

"I am so done with today. I can't wait to go home and catch up on Scream Queens." Nikki tells me as we walk out of our last period.

"Lucky. I have to stay here and get help in writing."

"You're the lucky one! Mr.Grant is hot af!" Nikki says, extenuating hot.

"Ew, he's like, 27. And don't ever say 'af' again." I say, stopping to split ways from Nikki.

"Well anyways, have fun with your hot teacher." She blows me a kiss and walks away.

I roll my eyes and make my way towards the class room.

"Hey Mr.Grant." I greet him and take my seat.

"Hey Eva. I got you a sandwich from Subway since you're skipping lunch." He points to it on a desk.

"Wow, thanks." I was actually really hungry, so I sat down, put my feet up on the desk, and began eating it.

"So, how are you?" He asks, taking a bite.

"Eh, I could be better."

"Sorry to hear that. If you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm always here. I enjoy helping out others and I also have no life outside of being a teacher." He laughs, but notices the awkwardness. "Well! Let's start practicing."

We spend the next hour going over writing techniques and he assigns me an essay to do over the week.

"Thanks for the help. I actually really understand your style of teaching." I stand up and grab my things.

I head for the door when I suddenly trip over a rug and fall on all fours, dropping everything.

"Oh my god!" I say, embarrassed.

Mr.Grant rushes over to me and offers his hand to pull me up. We both laugh and pick up my things. He hands me my notebook and I take it, looking into his shiny, hazel eyes.

I stared into his eyes for a few seconds then realized what I was doing.

"Bye. See you tomorrow." I say and quickly walk out of the classroom.
