Teachers Pet

Chapter 4

*Monday morning*

Its been a day since the incident with Mr. Fitz. The bruise on my eye is very noticeable. Makeup doesn't seem to cover it up very well. Luckily my parents have been gone all weekend so I don't have to worry about them seeing it. Not that they would notice anyway. Its my friends and boyfriend that I have to worry about finding out. I've had to avoid them all weekend. Its been hard. Toby tried calling me on Sunday but I didn't answer. I didn't want to see him. Or I didn't want him to see me like this. Aria also tried calling me but I didn't answer either. But now the dreaded time to go back to school came. I really hope they don't notice the bruise, but you know how I feel about hope. It breeds eternal misery. 

I take the next 15 minutes to get ready. I take 10 of those minutes trying to cover up my bruise. Which doesn't work very well but I don't have anymore time to get ready so it will have to do. They are going to ask so many questions. I have to come up with a story of how I got this. They probably wont believe it though. Their really hard to fool but their going to have to believe me.

*later at school*

The second my friends see me I am ambushed by all of their questions.

"Oh my god! Spencer what happened to your eye!" 

"Who did this? Did somebody hit you!"

"Are you ok?

"How bad does it hurt!"

"Guys seriously calm down" I say as I shut my locker "It's really not that bad"

"Not that bad! Spencer you have a bruise right under your eye!" says Aria.

"Guys seriously calm down. All that happened was fell down and hit my eye on the corner of my nightstand. Nobody hit me I promise." I lie.

"You're lying" accuses Emily

"No I'm not lying I promise, you guys have to believe me." 

"Ok we believe you but I don't think Toby's going to be convinced that easily" says Hanna

"Yeah I know, I've been trying to avoid him lately"

"Don't avoid him for too long or he might think something is wrong" says Aria

"I wont. I'll try to talk to him tomorrow. But for now I have to get to English. I'll see you guys later."

And with that I walk away. Dreading  to have to go to English with Mr. Fitz.  I'm terrified of seeing him again. I don't know what's going to happen. Is he going to apologize? Is he going to yell at me? Or is he just going to act like nothing happened and be completely normal. I don't know which one I wanted to happen but before I can think anymore I arrive at English...

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter. But this will have to do for now. Let me know what you think and have a good day or night my lovelies. :)
