Chapter 2.

What is he doing here? I'm breathing heavily right now and I don't know how to control it. I quickly looked down and opened up my notebook. So did everyone else. I began to write my heading and I felt someone staring at me. I stopped writing and looked up. Jidenna was looking at me. He quickly looked away though when students looked up. I watched as he picked up the text book and turned to a page. He turned to face the board and began to write notes on it. I copied what he had written and then waited for him to tell us the page.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to my left to see it was Denzel. "You okay?" I nod.

"Alright class" he spoke. Wow his voice was so deep and handsomer than before, "your teacher had a family emergency, so we don't know when she'll be back. But until then, I will be your teacher's replacement"

The class began to talk and he clapped his hands twice. Everyone went silent. "Since I don't know any of you, I would like to go around the class. One by one you will each tell me your names" he added. Ugh! I hated this and he knew that. I would always have anxiety attacks, even though everyone knows me. "Lets start on the left side of the classroom"

Everyone began to say their names. They said it so fast that it was my row's turn to go. I was the last one.

"Jennifer"

"Zach"

"Hailey"

"Andy"

It was my turn. He stood next to me. I looked up and saw his bright smile. "And you?"

"Emily"

He placed his hand on my shoulder and gave it a little squeeze and my body went hot. Oh. I've missed his touch so much. "It's nice to meet you Emily"

He removed his hand and walked slowly to the front of the room. Luckily, no one noticed what he did and how I was breathing.

For the rest of the class period, we worked in groups. It was actually fun, mainly cause I was with my best friend. Every now and then I would find Jidenna looking at me. It was weird. The bell rang and everyone gathered their things.

"I gotta go, catch you at lunch" Denzel says and hugs me.

"Okay, see you" I say and grab my bag.

I looked around and of course I was the last one. I was about to walk out the door. "Emily"

I turn around to face him, "Yeah?"

He got up from his desk and walked passed me to lock the door and put the shade it had down. He faces me. He grabs my hands and pulls me close to him.

"I thought about you" he spoke and I laughed a little in disbelief.

"Sure you did" I said with attitude and remove my hands away from him.

"I really d-"

"No! No you didn't Jidenna" I spat, "if you really thought about me we could've still been together and you wouldn't be with that whore" I was somewhat yelling and I just needed to get out of that room.

I unlocked the door and stormed out of there, not giving him a chance to say whatever he had to say.

After 3 classes, it was finally lunch. I walked into the cafeteria and there he was, sitting at the teachers table with a couple of the other teachers. He noticed me and I quickly walked out. I slowly walked down the hall and I heard footsteps behind me. "Emily" he called. I rolled my eyes in annoyance. I stopped and turned around nervously.
