Co-ed?

Chapter 3- Boyfriends and Best Friends

Chapter 3

I walked into school with my head held high. Even though it was only our second day, it felt like summer vacation had never happened. I walked up 3 flights of stairs to get to my locker room. I was so excited to gloat about my new “mystery” boyfriend.

Bree was already at her locker, giving the evil eye to her locker shelf that kept collapsing. I tapped her shoulder and laughed.

“What are you so perky about,” she asked with a confused look on her face.

“Guess,” I said with a wide grin on my face. After a moment of silence I said “Okay, stop it stop it, I’ll tell you! No need to be on my case about it!” Bree looked confused, but also a little bit weirded out by my extensive eagerness.

 “You know Owen…from Calculus? Well, he…HAS A CRUSH ON ME! EEEEEPPPPP!” I started jumping up and down and squealing. But for some reason, Bree didn’t join in. I asked her if everything was okay, and then she replied…

“Yea, everything’s fine, and that’s awesome by the way, but that’s not as big as my news.”

“Oooooh! What is it? TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME!!!” I replied.

“I have a boyfriend. And before you start squealing and jumping…let me tell you who it is. It’s Nick Rosewood from History.”

“Permission to scream????” I asked.

“Permission granted!”

“AHHHHHHH! We both, screamed and jumped in unison and were so excited for each other.

After all of the craziness, I asked Bree about Nick. Sure I have seen him around once or twice, but I don’t really know much about him. She said that he was really nice and sweet, sort of like the prince charming sort of boyfriend. He held open doors for her, bought her lunch, and wasn’t afraid to act all mushy gushy with her in front of his friends. Before Bree could finish her last sentence, Reece ran in, her face as red as a tomato.

We both asked her what she was so happy about. She pointed at her cheek and told us to look real close. Bree and I looked very confused, there was nothing different about her cheek.  And then she cleared things up for us.

“So, you know the track team met this morning right?” Reece asked. Bree and I both nodded. “Well, you know Collin from gym? Okay, so we were supposed to pick partners, and everybody already had partners, except for us…so we worked together for the entire morning. And before I left, he…KISSED MY CHEEK!!! AHHHHHHH!!! And then, wait for it…he asked me if I wanted to go out with him sometime!”

The room was silent, none of us said anything.

 I finally said “So what did you say?”

 And then Reece replied with “Oh yea, I told you this whole story just to say that I turned down only the hottest guy on the track team. Of course I said yes, duh!”

We all screamed and clapped and started planning our triple dates. Then we all made couple names of each other. Owen and I were Lexen, Bree and Nick were Nickee, and Reece and Collin were Rollin.

The bell for first period rang. But we all had first period spares so, we all rushed to the common room and got comfortable. As soon as we all pulled out our laptops, Keady walked in. We said our hellos and Keady, as usual sat right in the middle of us all. That’s right; we fit 4 people on a 2 person couch. #trafalgarproblems Anyways…we had all planned on having a sleepover, so we were trying to figure out a date. We suggested the following weekend.

And then Keady said “Sorry, I can’t my boyfriend and I are doing something that weekend.”

All of our heads turned as we crushed Keady. “Why didn’t you tell us you had a boyfriend?” we all said in unison.

“Ugh, because I didn’t want this to happen.” She said.

We all pressured her to tell us all about him. And so she did. She told us that his name was Carter Huntswood and that he lived fairly close to her. He had big brown eyes, brown hair, and a swimmer’s body. She also said that he was a little bit older than her, but not by much. Apparently, he also knew a lot about literature, which Keady loved most about him…you know other than the swimmer’s body ;)

80 minutes just flew right by, and before we knew it, it was time to head off to English. We had gotten a new English teacher, the former one was a women, but since there are now boys in the school, we needed more male teachers. We all headed into the class and we tried to get a good look at the teacher, but his head was down in his work. We sat in our assigned seats and waited for the class to begin.

Finally, our teacher stood up, but turned so quickly that we could barely get a glimpse of him. He wrote his name on the board.

“Hello class, I am you’re new English teacher. My name is Carter Huntswood. But of course you will just call me Mr.Huntswood.”

Both Bree, Reece and I turned and stared at Keady. Our jaws dropped. Keady hid behind her binder. Mr.Huntswood (aka KEADY’S BOYFRIEND)started to take attendance.

Josh Garret…

Maria Micheals…

Keady…ummm, Morgan?

He looked twice at the name. And then confirmed his suspicions. Bree, Reece and I couldn’t help but laugh a little bit, but Keady didn’t move at all. In fact, she sat there…silent for the entire class. When the bell rang, we all met in the hall. Keady tried to sneak away, but Reece pulled her back.

“Explain,” I said to Keady.

“Explain what?” said Keady.

“Explain how it happened that you ended up dating our English teacher!?” Reece said angrily.

“Listen, I didn’t know that he was our English teacher. And even if I did, it’s not that big of a deal.” Keady replied.

“Not a big deal? How old is he?” I asked.

“Ummm, 22…” Keady mumbled as she ran down the hallway.

“Keady fricken Morgan you get back here! You are seventeen years old! What the hell is wrong with you?” Reece screamed and she trampled Keady.

Reece’s boyfriend, Collin caught her in the hallway. He ripped her off of Keady and kissed her cheek. “Hey babe, what’s all of this about?” he asked.

Reece was about to tell him all about Keady’s boyfriend, but then Reece decided that she would feel guilty if she told, so she kept it quiet and saved herself by saying that Keady had stolen her pen.  Collin looked a bit confused, but decided to just forget about it. He kneeled down before Reece and opened a box. Inside the box was a blue bracelet with crystals. Collin cleared his throat and said “Reece Sawyer, will you do me the honour, of taking you on a run through the country side?”

Reece’s face went bright red. “Yes! Of course!” Reece said.  Collin stood up and hugged Reece. He slid the bracelet on her wrist.

Ring Ring Ring…

Third period was just about to start. Reece and Collin said they’re goodbyes and Bree, Keady and I pretended to barf. But inside, we were really happy for her J. We all headed off to our classes. Reece grabbed Keady’s wrist and and whispered “This isn’t over.”
