I Don't Care What They Think

pg.4

Annas p.o.v.

I woke up with a smile on my face. I knew I was gonna get to see Mr.Fitz. Ok sure its somewhat creepy but the man is so handsome. His thick brown hair and 3'o-clock shadow. The boyish smile that spread on his face when he talked about great literature. He was passionate about his reading and it was adorable. Of course, he would never have an interest in me seeing as I'm his student, but isn't it nice to dream. I looked at the time it was 3:00pm already! Shit I thought to myself he's gonna be here at 3:30pm. I jumped in the shower. When I was done I ran down stairs in my towel.

"hey, mom you know where my blue to....." i was stopped in mid sentence when I saw Fitz sitting next to her, both glaring at me I blushed and apologized running up stairs. I through on a top and made my way back down stairs. shyly walking over. "so sorry about that," I said sitting as far from Fitz as I could. "it's fine, you did not know i was here," he said.

"so tell me about these classes."My mom said cutting the awkward silence.

they began to talk for a long time I zoned out. I thought about what ran through Mr.Fits mind. Did he expect it? Was he shocked?... did he like it? I was cut from my thoughts when my mom asked me to show Jason to the bathroom. That's his name...Jason. I smiled and led him up stairs. I pointed to it. "it's that one" I said. I began to walk away when I heard him say my name.

I turned to him, "yes?"

"Everyone has embarrassing moments, your smart, smarter than most. Don't let embarrassment run you." I smiled at him.

"thank you Mr.Fitz" i began walking away again when I heard him say something else.

"when were alone, you can call me Jason, ok Anna?"

I smiled at him and he at me. It was only for a few seconds but it felt so long. He looked at me in my eyes as I looked at his, his face seemed curious and eager but it held a smile that was warm. I knew it was so wrong to look at my teacher like that but how could I not. I'm sure the way he was looking at me was probably in my head but it felt good, it did not feel wrong. It did not feel as lust did, it was friendly but romantic and calming. My mom called up at me breaking the gaze." everything ok up there." She yelled up to us. I did not break my gaze with him but yelled down,"everything is fine" I held it a second longer before running back down stairs.

After he left, I got a text from Corey asking me to meet him at the diner. I told my mom I'd be back and drove to the diner. I saw him sitting in a booth through the glass and walked in. I sat across from him and asked why he wanted to meet.

"Anna im sorry, I was a jerk to you at the party, leaving you sit there, you don't deserve that at all. Can I get a second chance?"

I smiled at him awkwardly. "I think it's best to stay friends," I said to him.

"Look I know I messed up, please come on, one more chance. I know I messed up, I promise you I won't hurt you again It was stupid." he took my hand"I like you Anna, I'm just asking for a shot"

"seems like you had enough of them at the party."I got up and began walking out when he grabbed my hand, he spun me to him and kissed me. His lips were soft, and he kissed gently. His hands draped around my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck and we kissed. On the way home I called Nina and told her what had happened. We laughed about the towel mistake and she said It was a mistake to go out with Corey, I just said will see.
