Call me...Teacher's Pet

Ch.3

I strolled down the hallways of West Point High anticipating the day's events. My mind was racing because as much as I knew that Mr. Bolman and i would see each other in class, my stomach was in knots remembering that I would have to pretend that last night never happened. I know it would be hard, but nothing beats a trial because the last thing I would want is to be classified as immature. 

"Hey!" Hannah exclaimed while tugging hard on my arm. 

"Ouch, hey Hannah, what's up? " I said trying to massage the pain out of my elbow. 

"I don't know, why don't you tell me?" She quizzed 

I paused wondering if she was on to me "What do you mean?" I asked 

"Brittney I've been yelling your name since you crossed the hall, what the hell has you so far from planet earth?" She scolded. 

"Oh sorry, it's that big chem test, I'm just a little nervous." I said breathing a sigh of relief to myself. 

" Yea I know, personally I'm not sure if I can recite the elements of the periodic table to save my life." 

I giggled "Yea I know the feeling." 

"So, what did you do last night, I tried calling, you left your sweater at my house." 

"Oh that's where it is, I was just doing homework and stuff." I couldn't tell her about Mr. Bolman, at least not yet. Yes Hannah was my best friend but my pride always seemed to take over sometimes and I just couldn't deal with any negative comments about my endeavour to get what I wanted. 

"Did you talk to Mr. Bolman?" She grinned  

I felt the colour red engulfing my cheeks, I turned toward the class so she wouldn't notice. "No, why would I? We both saw he was in a relationship did we not?" I asked. 

"Well yea but--" 

I rolled my eyes "No buts Hannah, what's done is done" 

The bell rang and boy was I grateful!

"We better get to class" I said pulling her along. 

I entered my algebra class, having little eye contact with Patrick as possible, gosh he was adorable. I wasn't the last to sit down, but when I did, he turned and began writing on the blackboard.  

"Good Morning everyone, next week Wednesday there will be a pop quiz, and so it would be wise to study the following." He instructed.

I began writing trying to ignore my pen shaking through my thin fingers. I then looked to my left and saw something that made me want to jump over desks and fight like a wild baboon! Lisa Winfield was giving Mr. Bolman the 'look'. Lisa was well known for her provocative behaviour she had many guys at school worshipping her and she even had a reputation for getting down with the male teachers when she was too lazy to pass a class. 

My eyes darted towards Patrick I wondered how he would react to her seductive stare. He was looking at her as well she slowly slid her skirt higher than it should have been, so he could have a look at her well toned thighs, I was appalled but thankfully he looked away as quick as he had glanced at her. 

"Alright, so let's see who can solve this quick equation right here. " He said.

Lisa raised her hand immediately, I couldn't let her answer I quickly raised mine. 

"Yes Miss Delorentis?" 

I was startled I didn't expect him to call on me I looked around to see a series of hands drop back down but it was only Lisa's. I panicked I didn't even read the equation.
