RockNRoll (Daddy) High School

Bad Girls Go Everywhere

With my phone back I meet Rachel (who had become my close and only friend in school) outside of Mr.Strummer's class. The girls pile out the room, I spot her, then him. Everyday during break he goes for coffee, like on my first day. I was admiring him from afar when he caught my glimpse and smiled, "Come by next period, you missed an important lesson" he says directed at me. I nod. His voice is so beautiful.

"You might wanna stop so openly drooling over him" says Rachel. 
"Shut up" I laugh at her comment.
"Go to the nurse with me yeah?"
I nod and follow her down the hall, "What for?"
"I need an excuse to miss Physical Ed. We run today."
"Ew running."
"Exactly."

Once in the nurse's office I wait for Rachel in the little lobby, there's a desk where waiting students sign up. In comes a girl and sits behind it, then she asks me if I'm here to see Mr.Headon. 
"No just waiting for someone." She nods then proceeds to organize the desk.
"Are you the nurse's aid?" I ask keeping myself from boredom. 
"Something like that, I come and help him during breaks."
"Oh, do you get your community service that way?"
"No, although I should."
"Then why do you come? Is this your sentence for something you did?" I joke.
"It is actually" she laughs "but this is my last week, I'm Catherine by the way."
"Candy. Mr.Jones really takes his role as a dictator seriously doesn't he?"
"Yeah, but it's not that, bad I've enjoyed it."
"Are you a sadist or something?"
She laughs, "No but Mr.Headon, the nurse, is a complete daddy." 
"Is he really? I'm sick then." 
"Nah, I've claimed him."
"It's alright, I've a 'daddy' of my own." 

Just then comes out Rachel with a smile and a note, behind her is Mr.Headon who is around my height at the age of I'd say 30? He's cute. 

"Good morning" he says with a bright beautiful smile, "are you here for me?"
"Oh, no" I say smiling back, "I'll see you around Catherine" then I head out with Rachel. 
"Guess who doesn't have P.E. for the rest of the week?" She brags happily.

"Hello again, can you hold this for me?" He asks handing me a cup holder with two disposable coffee cups. I take it as he digs into his pocket looking for the classroom key.
"So you got in trouble this morning huh?" He says smiling at me as he holds the door open.
I head in and place the coffee on his desk, "Yeah but for no reason, I was only late a couple minutes. Mr.Vanian was gonna let me slip but Mr.Jones ruined it." I sit on his chair.
He laughs a little as he leans on his desk facing me, "well its just policy, Dave shouldn't 'let you slip.'"
"Dave?"
"Mr.Vanian" he corrects himself. 
"So his name is Dave. And yours?"
"My name?"
"Yeah" I ask eagerly.
"Joe, but its not professional for students to call us by our first names."
"You're all about professionalism aren't you Joe?" At this he flushes. 
"And you're all about getting in trouble, no?" 
"A little yeah."
"Be good, good girls go to heaven."
"But bad girls go everywhere."

For a couple long seconds we gaze into each other's eyes, then he turns away to take a cup, he hands it to me clearing his throat.
"I uh, brought you some coffee" he says standing up straight, no longer leaning on his desk. 
I get off his chair taking the searing cup from him, we are standing closer than "professionally."
"Thanks, but its kind of hot" I say leaning over him to place it back on the desk in a way that makes our bodies collide. 
And then, out of the blue, he takes me gently by the face and kisses me. I must be dreaming.
