My Journey

Thoughts

Chapter 2

The bell rings for first period. I hurriedly walked to class avoiding Lulu and Jeff walking to their class together. I entered the Literature class and sit in my seat.

"Hey" I turned and see a blond, Junior.

"Oh hey how are you?" I asked.

"I'm okay. Ready for your test? " he asked.

"Of course I'm ready. I've been studying all night. " I answered.

"Very well". Junior said smiling.

Miss Crow, the literature teacher modelled into the classroom. She is about 24 years old. She is very pretty, and hot. Most of the boys secretly admired her. Rumours were going around that she slept with a football player at school. So I've heard. No proof!

"Okay class. Put away all Literature related items and get ready for your test. Please note that if I see you cheating, Detention. No talking " Miss Crow said.
Junior winked at me. I smiled in return. Miss Crow started issuing the papers. I smiled happily knowing I'm going to past.

"You may begin. You have 45 minutes. Good luck". The teacher informed.

I answered the first question.

What if I really like Jeff? No I can't. He's my friend boyfriend. That would be wrong. But why would i be staring at him?

Wait no! I shouldn't be thinking about this. There's a test paper in front of me.
I return to the paper trying to focus. I attempted the second question. My mind still elsewhere on Jeff.
Damn.
I read the question over and over again. The answer completely erased from my memory.

"Oh no". I said aloud. Everyone looked at me, including Miss Crow.
She walked up to my desk,
"Are you alright Jessica?"

"Yes Miss. Can you please excuse me to the bathroom? " I said quietly trying to avoid the gaze of Junior.

"Sure you may." She said and walked back to her seat.

"Are you alright? " Junior whispered.

"I forgot everything".

I got up, out of the class and run to the bathroom.
I urinated, looked at my reflection in the mirror and then washed my face.

"I need to get my self straight. I do not like Jeff. I don't like jeff. I don't like Jeff " I tried to assure myself aloud.

I exit the bathroom and into the classroom. I took my seat and felt Junior looking at me. I looked at him. He pointed to the answers on his desk. I smiled and mouthed a 'thank you'. I quickly scribbled the answers off.

A throat cleared. I looked up to see Miss Crow looking down at me with her piercing eyes.

Shit

"Detention this afternoon Miss Jessica".
I nodded sadly. She picked up my paper and placed it on her desk. She gave me a new one to start on.

"Only 29 minutes left, start Jessica". She said.
I mouthed a 'thanks' and begin.
Everything coming back swiftly to my mind.

Whoa

What a miracle.

Finally the test finishes and I pack my bag to leave for Lunch.

"I'm sorry I got you into trouble Jessica. I was just trying to help. " Junior apologized.

"Its okay. Its not your fault. Would you like to have lunch with my friends and I?"

"Sure, thanks". I smiled.
