Tea Break

A New Phenomenon

"Ms. Evans. Please explain why Mr. Parker is bleeding." the principal asked calmly. I looked at the boy next to me. Tissues were packed in his nose, preventing the blood from falling.

"Because he's an idiot," I told her. It was a valid excuse. I had punched him because he was being completely stupid.

"I didn't know that idiocy caused people to just start spontaneously bleeding from the nose." she smirked and glanced at the both of us.

"I think it's a new phenomenon." I gave her my best smile, causing her to sigh.

"Ms. Evans. Please tell me the real reason Elliot is bleeding," she asked me again and I let out a sigh.

"Because of his stupidity, he embarrassed me in front of the class. So I punched him." I shrugged and folded my arms across my chest. 

"And how, Sadie, did he embarrass you?" she asked. I glared at Elliot. He shot me an innocent smile and leaned back in his seat, removing the tissues from his nose.

"I told her she looked adorable when she smiled." he confessed and I felt the heat rise to my cheeks again. 

"Shut up you imbecile. I don't smile."  I folded my arms across my chest, glaring at the boy next to me. 

"When Olivia brought you cookies your face lit up and it was adorable. Like a small puppy." he chuckled and took the tissues from his nose, throwing them into the bin.

"How about I give you another bloody nose and a lip to match." I threatened. Elliot only laughed more and moved his hand towards my face. I slapped it away. 

"Children please, behave." the principal tried to calm us down.

"Or you could give me a kiss. C'mon Sadie, I know you want to." he teased with a large grin.

"You're an idiot. Go screw yourself." I snapped. I heard the principal sigh and looked up to see her shaking her head.

"Look, can we just go back to class and forget this ever happened. I'm sure Sadie will not do it again and I won't bug her again." Elliot suggested, glancing from me to the principal.

"I'll let you off the hook this one time, Ms. Evans. But if you injure Mr. Parker I will have to suspend you." she told me and I nodded, hoping out of the chair.

"No promises!" I called as I skipped out of her office and into the empty hallway.

"Sadie, wait!" a voice called from behind. I rolled my eyes, but paused and turned around.

"What is it, stupid. Don't you have someone else to bother?" I asked, setting my hand on my hip.

"You stop with the tough girl acts, I know how you really feel." he smirked. 

I rolled my eyes and stepped up to him. "You're right," I purred, dragging my finger down his chest. "I absolutely adore you." I lifted myself up on my toes so we were chest to chest. "I can't stand other women being around you and had to have you for myself." I gave him a sly smile and leaned my face closer to his. Elliot's eyes widened and his chest heaved. "I totally," I said and leaned inches away from his lips. "Find you." hands on her shoulders. "To be a total nuisance." he groaned and I skirted away from him with a grin.

"By Elliot." I waved and started walking away from him. 

"You win this round, Sadie. Next time you will give in."
