The substitute

Chapter 8

The kids finally arrive to class with a bunch of board games,jump ropes, and Nintendo DS's. "Are you guys ready for your free day?" Mrs.Smith asks in an excited voice "YA!!!" The kids yell.
While I'm watching the kids react excitedly I see a tiny kid with dirty blond hair, and brown eyes I look at the tag on his desk and it says 'Emmet' on it. "Okay guys if you make to much noise I'm going to make all of you sit on your seats and make you do a bunch of work." Mrs.Smith threatens nicely all of the kids nod there heads."Okay go have fun!" She tells them and all of the kids jump off from their seats and play their favorite games with their best friends.
I see Emmet, he's still sitting in his seat I see him reach something in his backpack I think it's a book, I decide to walk up to him. "Hi Emmet." I tell him he quickly puts the book In his desk and looks up at me "Um hi...." He forgot my name "Ms.Archer." I tell him "Ms.Archer." He repeats and gives me a small smile I noticed that he has dimples, I don't get it he's adorable how come he sits all alone? I want to ask him why he isn't playing with any of the kids, but then I remembered when I was a kid my teacher used to ask me the same thing and I would start to feel awkward and felt like I was forced to play with the other kids that didn't even like me.
I'm not sure what to say so I just say the first thing that pops up in my head "What are you reading?" I ask him as I pull a chair next to him, he takes the book out from under his desk and lays the book on the desk the book cover says 'Charlotte's Web' it's a pretty good book. "Charlotte's Web huh?" He nods his head "Where are you up to?" I ask him I've read this book at least twice when I was a child.
"When Charlotte dies." He says with a frown. "I've read that book at least a hundred times and cried every time." it's true it was one of my favorite books, and I always ended up crying.
when I look at him I see him trying not to laugh "What! You didn't cry when you read it?" I ask
"No" he says giggling.
"Do you want to play a game?" I ask him I like Emmet he's different, extremely different from every kid in this class room and plus he's adorable. I'm not saying that every kid in this class room isn't cute, but none of them have dimples and is charming. He shakes his head 'no' "Okay that's cool I'll be sitting next to Mrs.Smith's desk if you need anything I'll be there." I tell him and he nods his head I go sit next to Mrs.Smith and watch all of the kids play "You met Emmet I see." Mrs.Smith says "Ya I did." I say. "You should consider yourself lucky it took me months for Emmet to talk to me and he just asked me to go to the bathroom." Do I consider myself lucky? I think it was just that me and him had a lot in common or that I was just a teacher and your forced to talk to teachers.
"He's a mystery." I tell her "Oh ya indeed he is." She tells me laughing chuckling. "So what were you talking about?" She asks "Oh well we just talked about how um.... I just asked him why he wasn't playing with any of the kids and he just answered because I was a teacher or something." I lie, I know she doesn't believe because of the smirk she's giving me, but I don't care. I think I didn't tell her because I felt bad for him, I know it doesn't make sense, but if I was that kid I wouldn't want everyone reacting extremely shocked if I said a word. I'm surely going to miss him I can't believe we only have one more week of school.
....
When school finally ends I see Nate's car "Hey" I smile at him. "Hey" he smiles back, I glance in the back of Nate's car and I see a bunch of suit cases. Oh ya! How could I forget my smile turns into straight face "Wanna come in?" He asks "Ya" I say. "Hey Nate?" I ask him "Yes Zoe?" "Can we go out tonight? I want to spend the last few hours here with you." I tell him "Ya that's a great idea! Where do you want to go?" "I don't care where is your favorite place to go to?" I want him to have the best two hours of his life with me "umm..." He thinks and I smile at him. "Do you want to eat some dinner and then go to the beach?" He asks I hate the beach so much! I hate how the sand would go everywhere, I hate how the water is so unsanitary, I hate how there's fish in the water I could write a whole list, but I have no time for that "Sure." I say forcing a smile from my lips and luckily he smiles back at me. "What do you want to eat?" I ask him, I don't really care where we eat where ever we go there's always something for me to eat "You can pick I don't really care." He says "um... Well I don't really care either so we'll just go to the first restaurant we find." I say and he nods his head, I stare out the window to find any restaurants to eat in. I see a restaurant that has a bunch of motorcycles in front of it. I decide not to tell Nate about the the restaurant "Did you find any?" I ask him I am feeling awfully hungry "No you?" I start to debate whether I should tell him or not "Yes" I sigh. Nate makes a U turn and goes back to the restaurant, we park all the way in the front of the restaurant. When I go inside I see a bunch of tattooed people this was a bad idea. "Table for two." Nate says to the big girl behind the desk she nods her head "Follow me" she tells us, we start to walk behind her when I hear someone call my name I decide to ignore the person I don't think anyone would know me here. "Zoe!" The person yells again I turn my head and see a familiar girl when I look at her closely I remember she's Maria she is wearing dark black skinny jeans and a red tank top her black hair is in a pony tail. "Hey Maria." I wave to her "Oh don't call me that I hate that name you can call me Mare, Mary I'll even except Mars." She laughs "What's up?" We both say in sync we both start to laugh "You first." She says "Well first, I finally found a job to teach a college called Green Hill Community College." I tell her and her smile turns into a huge grin "Oh really! That's where I go, I'm so happy for you!!" She says while jumping up and down I didn't really get a job there officially I just need a phone call. "So what's up with you?" I ask her "Well just to start it off me and Hunter are officially dating!" She says gesturing to Hunter I look at her seat and see Hunter and right next to him I see Niall "Hey guys" I wave to them "Hey Zoe" Niall says waving back to me "Hey Zoe" Hunter says smiles at me "Hey, what's your number?" Maria I mean Mary asks me, we both exchange numbers and she smiles. I look at the booth their sitting in it looks really big for just three people "Wow you guys got a big booth for just three people" I say and everyone laughs I just stand their confused "More people are coming" Niall says.
"Well bye" I say. "Aww you're leaving already I'll text you" Mary hugs me and I go to my table.
...
We finally eat and go to the beach when I check the time it was already five "Well I guess we should go home now." He tells me we get in the car and stay in silence, buy it's not an awkward silence it's a comforting silence. When we get home I see Nate's dad carrying all of the suitcases in his white truck "Hey Nate?" I break the silence "Ya?" He questions "What's going to happen to your car?" I ask him he looks at me confused "What?" He asks not sure what I'm asking here "I mean are you going to like leave your car here?" I ask him "Oh no of course not I bringing it with me." What? "What?" I ask how can you bring a car on a plane? "I know a guy who can drive my car all the way to Georgia." He says wow he's that rich like I knew he was rich, but making a guy take your car and driving it to Georgia must cost a fortune. Nate gets out of his car and goes inside his dads white truck I want to go with him sooo bad. "Wait!" I tell Nate "Ya?" He asks "come." I tell him this is the last time I'm going to talk to him I want this to be perfect.
When we are away from the truck I stare into his eyes "can I ask you something?" He asks "sure." I say, I'm kind of nervous on what he will ask "it's more of a favor actually." He corrects himself "what is it?" I ask him "From this day on I want you to open up to everyone." Huh? "What?" I ask "You have always been so closed I want you to open up more tell people your problems." He says. From this day on I shall try to express my feelings to people notice how I said try I'm not sure if I can do this. "Okay I'll try" I assure him and he smiles.
"Nate come on we're going to be late!" Nate's mother yells I take this as a cue to hug him. "Bye" he tells me, "Bye" I say and watch him walk away from me and into his dad's trunk minutes later he's not In the driveway and onto the street.
