"Morning Maci," a familiar husky voice greeted me.
I turned to my left to see Mr. Cipriano holding a small pink box. I wonder what's inside.
"Morning," I responded not taking my eyes off the box.
"I'm glad you're here. You look way better than Friday. I hope my tips worked."
My eyes were still focused on the box. When it comes to boxes, curiosity gets the best out of me. "Uh-huh," I said not paying much attention to him.
He moved the box out of my view which finally made me look up at him. This caused him to chuckle.
"Want to know what's inside?"
"Of course."
He then held the box infront of me and opened it slightly. I leaned in, but before I could see anything, he closed it. He played me!
I huffed and crossed my arms like a little kid when they don't get what they want.Once again, he chuckled. "If you truly want to see what's in here then follow me." With that he left.
I followed him into familiar surroundings. His classroom. Mr. Cipriano placed the box on his desk. Afterwards, he went to the whiteboard and wrote today's class agenda. Isn't he going to show me what's inside?
Mr. Cipriano turned around and noticed my confusion. "Oh, they're donuts. Want one?"
I rolled my eyes. Really? He couldn't have told me earlier?
"Sure, thank you."
I opened the box to reveal six beautiful donuts. My hand picked up an original glazed donut.
"Glazed? Most people like the ones with sprinkles or crushed oreos."
"I'm not most people." I said before taking a bite of the Delicious glazed donut.
Mr. Cipriano smirked at my response. He was about to say something but someone cut him off.
"Look at what we have here." A lady with burgundy lips and a flawless face interrupted. "Carter, you didn't have to do this." She joked.
So, that's his name? Carter Cipriano.
Her heels clicked against the floor as she walked towards the donuts. "Oh, you got my favorite. Powdered strawberry filled donut."
"You know that I couldn't have gone without buying you one." Mr. Cipriano smirked.
"How am I ever going to repay you?" Both her eyes and voice asked seductively.
"You'll find out." His husky voice replied.
Was it me or did it seem like they had a connection?
I was awkwardly standing there as if I weren't there at all, until she grabbed her donut and looked at me. "I see you got one for your student. You're too kind."
He slightly nodded not even acknowledging me.
She stayed a while and they kept talking. I don't know when she left, but I knew she had left before the bell rang. Who was she? Did she work here? Or was she his girlfriend? Why do I care anyways? I ignored my thoughts and finished my donut. I grabbed my journal and pencil as people entered the classroom.
"Hey, Maci." A familiar brown eyed boy said.
I smiled knowing who it was. "Hi Augustus," I said looking up.
"How are you?" He asked.
"I'm good and you?"
He smiled showing his perfect white teeth. "I'm good. So, I was wondering if you wanted to-"
