His Obsession

Chapter 2

I walked to the lunch bar where they had a variety of "healthy" choices.They literally have a poster that says that. Today, they offered cheeseburgers/hamburgers,fries,pizza,peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches,and corn dogs. Oh, I can't forget the small bowl of fruit salad. How healthy. I mean I'm not complaining, just change the poster. I grabbed a cheeseburger, a bowl of fruit salad and an apple juice, and made my way to the register. After paying, I searched for an empty table and luckily found one. I sat down and started with the fruit salad. A few seconds into the salad, I felt eyes on me. My eyes moved from my colorful salad up to a green pair of eyes. Those eyes belong to Mr. Cipriano.He was sitting at the teacher's table (two tables infront of me) smiling at me. My face heated up knowing Mr. Cipriano was staring at me. My mouth hung a little down which caused a chuckle from him. My sight of him was quickly cut off when a body sat across from me. Augustus.

"Hey, Maci. I hope you're not mad at me for getting you in trouble in class. I feel bad-"

"It's totally fine,Augustus." I smiled.

He sighed and then smiled. This is the longest conversation I've had with a person in this school other than Mr. Cipriano.

"Cool, so I know we just met but do you want to maybe-"

He was shortly cutt off.

"Ms. Lancaster." A familiar voice said.

Augustus and I turned to see Mr. Cipriano.

"Yes, Mr. Cirpriano?" I asked.

"Remember to come to my classroom after school."

I sighed, "Yes. Thanks for the reminder."

He looked at Augustus and then back at me.

"Okay, see you then."

With that, he left. That was weird.

I shook my head and turned my attention back to Augustus.

"What were you going to ask?"

"Oh, if you would like to go to the football game on Friday to watch me play?" He nervously asked scratching the back of his neck.

This caught me by surprise. I never knew a guy like him would ask a girl like me.

"If you don't want to go that's-"

"Yes," I excitedly replied, then noticed I was too excited.

"I mean yes." I said in a calmer voice.

"Great,I hope to see you there."

With that, he walked to his group of sports friends.

The bell rang signalling everyone to go to their 5th class. I grabbed my tray and threw away the remaining of the burger and an empty plastic bowl. As I was about to throw away my trash, I once again felt eyes on me. I looked up to see Mr. Cipriano but he was not smiling. He then grabbed his drink and walked away.

Once the bell rang, I grabbed my belongings and walked towards room 16. Mr. Cipriano's room. I twisted the knob and let myself in. His back was facing me as he was erasing words from the white board.
