Illegal Moves

Chapter 3

A/N

This is Aleks (Mr.Conners)!!!! He is GORGEOUS!!!!! 

Three weeks have passed since my first awful day of school. I walk into Aleks room and everybody is turning in their homework to Aleks. I just sit it m seat. Aleks looks at me with confusion on his face. I just shrug at him like I'm asking him what he's confused about.

"Iona where's your homework." He always uses my name when he speaks to me. He must just like saying it. I won't complain, it sounds good coming out of his mouth.

"Not finished," I simply reply.

"Well then it will be a zero," he simply says back mocking my tone.

"Fine by me," He just rolls his eyes and shakes his head as he puts away the papers. I get out our class work and start working on it. Mason, the boy sitting next to me leans over and starts copying my paper. Of course he wants the smartest person's work. "Here," I say reaching over for his paper smiling at him. I take his paper in my hand. I pretend I am about to write the answers on his paper but I pick it back up and rip his paper in half and then in fourths and throw the pieces at his face "Hell no your not cheating off of me, do your own damn work!" I shout at him.

"IONA!" Aleks' voice. Shit I forgot he was there. "Office now, we do not swear in this class." I get up to go to the office. "But first come here". I sigh and walk to his desk he hands me a paper and it is a blank one of the one I just ripped up. " You can do his assignment since you just destroyed it." As I take the paper I see the disappointment in his eyes. I lower my eyes from his and walk to the door. As I step through I turn back around and say "How you think I will be able to get his homework done when I can't even get mine done is beyond me," and I slammed the door and went to the office.

Next week in calculus

"Iona is your homework done?" Aleks asks me

"Nope," I say popping the P.

The next week

"Iona where's your homework," Mr.C asks

"In my bookbag," I reply slouching in my desk.

And the next week after that

"Homework?" He raises his eyebrows.

I just shake my head and continue on my in class worksheet of quick problems.

Another few weeks later

I start on my in class worksheet and look up at Aleks when he starts to collect homework, expecting him to ask for mine.

He doesn't.

Well this is strange but I don't mind. I'm kind of tired of seeing all the disappointed looks from my classmates. "I'm going to pass out Monday's test."

He finally gets to me. A+. Well that wasn't a surprise. As he walked by me he muttered I just don't understand. "Ya well you wouldn't," I muttered back. I don't think he heard me. Ding Ding Ding! I got out of my seat and was the last person out the door. "Then make me understand!" Aleks shouts across the room so I can hear him. If only he knew.

"Oh Aleks," I say shaking my head and walking out the door. He wouldn't understand. I didn't even care if I got in trouble for using his first name. I think I will start calling him Aleks. I like the way it rolls off my tongue.

A couple hours later I'm on the city bus driving through the city. I look out the window because I don't want to look or smell the fat man sitting beside me. Skyscrapers everywhere. God I wanted to kill myself. I missed the open meadows and the smell of the mountainous air in Wyoming. Finally the bus stops at my Aunt and Uncle's apartment. I get my key out and put it in the door knob. I walk in the apartment just as Maria and Jim are rushing out. My aunt and uncle. "We'll be home by midnight. Make supper, bathe the kids, and clean the house, and if you have time put them to bed and go to the stables to earn some money," and with that they were out the door. That was why I couldn't get my freaking homework done. Just then I heard a high pitched squeal. That would be Adaline. My five month old cousin that I am practically raising. I run upstairs and into her room. I pick her up and rock her back and forth. She lays her head on my shoulder.

"Give it back!" Jack and Megan come into Adeline's room tugging on a toy tractor.

"Both of you knock it off and Megan give Jack his tractor back and go play with your own toys!" I yell at them. I deal with this every single freakin night. I sit down in Adeline's rocking chair and rock her back to sleep. Eventually I fell asleep too. About an hour later Jack rushes in the room. "Iona I'm hungry," my four year old cousin wines.

"Fine I'll make dinner," I gently lay Adaline back in her crib and head downstairs. After 30 minutes supper is made. After another 30 minutes I finally get the kids to eat what I made them.

"Ok Jack and Megan lets go get baths." The only time I don't have to run the household is when I don't go home, so Maria and Jim are forced to stay home and care for their own kids.

Finally the children are all asleep. I run up to my bedroom and check my emails on my computer.

1 new email.

From: Jason Lipp

To: Iona Wilson

Hey I was just thinking that we have every class together and we chat sometimes and I was thinking we could get to know each other a little better. Hang out with me for the evening tomorrow after school?

From: Iona Wilson

To: Jason Lipp

Sure! I'd like that.

Great! I had a date tomorrow! I wouldn't have to care for these little brats tomorrow.

It has been forever since I had had a boyfriend let alone a date. The last boyfriend I had I had loved him very much. We were best friends that were inseparable. He had taken my virginity and I was glad that it had been him and not some loner I didn't even know like some of the guys I've been with. After about a week after we had had sex, he moved away without an explanation. I was crushed and depressed so I played the slut card. I started going to more barn dances and bonfires and making out and on occasion sleeping with men I didn't even know.That is how I got all my experience with men. I hated the person that I was so I quit with the slut card and focused on my horses and the ranch. Daniel, the ex love of my life, was the reason I had attitude and my snarkiness. He taught me to not let what people thought about me affect me so that's why I never get embarrassed.

I cleaned the house for two more hours and then I looked at the clock. 1:00 am. They still weren't home. I really needed to go to bed. Then I thought of Jason.

I went to bed feeling happier than I had in a really long time.
