Sorry, I Love You.

"You will go up one by one and solve the problems on the board. I want you to move quickly and pass the pen to the next person going up. Amy, you're up first." Mr. Towner handed the pen to the first person in the farthest left desk of the room.

Amy got up and walked to the front of the class where the screen was. Using the electric pen, she stared solving the first problem. The classroom was silent, most of the students not paying attention as they drew in their notebooks or used their phones hidden in their laps. Teddy sat lazily in his seat, his arms over his chest and his eyes forward as he watched Amy walk back to her seat and pass the pen to the next person sat behind her.

Since Teddy was in Amy's row, he waited patiently until the pen finally reached the last desk. He took it and walked up to the front of the class. Solving the math problem on the screen was easy so it only took Teddy a couple seconds. He then placed the pen on the first desk of the second row and sauntered back to his seat in the back. Mr. Towner remained silent, observing his students and studying who struggled and who had no problem.

Letting his eyes drift around the classroom, Teddy's eyes naturally found the blonde sat perfectly upright in her seat. That was something Teddy discovered recently. Zoe sat with her spine locked in an upright position at all times, whether she was writing stating off into space. She couldn't even sit normally. She had to sit like a perfect pony. It was just another thing Teddy added to his Zoe's secretly an alien trying to blend in with humans list.

Zoe seemed like a perfect angel trying her best to sit with perfect posture, until you looked at her feet. Because she always wore heels to school, everyday without fail, she took her heels off whenever she could. It was usually because her feet were sweaty, not because they hurt. After walking in heels for so many years already, her feet were used to them. And, in school, she only walked in them for a couple minutes before she sat down for an hour at a time. It wasn't all that bad.

Teddy watched Zoe tap the tile floor with her painted toes and then scratch the back of her leg with the top of her foot. Her toes were small and square shaped. They didn't look gross since her toenails were painted and her skin was perfectly moisturized from head to toe. Literally. Her toes would sometimes try to grab the bar of the seat in front of her that connected the chair legs. The metal was cold so every time she did it, she'd visibly shiver.

Teddy internally snickered and shook his head. Zoe's attention remained glued to her notebook. She hadn't written many notes because she was so sidetracked with her flower drawings. Teddy watched her switch from her blue glitter gel pen to her purple and her pink and then back to blue. She obviously thought she was creating a masterpiece because she was so focused that she didn't even notice the person in front of her waving a pen in her face.

"Ms. Yang." Zoe looked up at Mr. Towner before her attention was dragged to her classmate holding up the pen Mr. Towner always used. "It's your turn Ms. Yang."

"Oh!" Zoe grabbed the pen from her classmate so they could return to their seat.

She started fumbling with her heels to get the strap around her foot but she didn't manage before Mr. Towner rushed her.

"Quickly, Ms. Yang!" Mr. Towner warned from his desk.

Zoe ditched her shoes in a panic and hopped out of her seat. Stepping as lightly as possible to keep off the cold tile floor, Zoe made her way to the front of the class. Teddy grinned as he watched the shrimp stand on her toes to reach the problem at the top corner of the screen. She wrote a couple numbers and paused to land flat on her feet and think. Zoe had been up there for all of a minute before someone's phone started vibrating in their bag.

"Phones off, please.." Mr. Towner growled as he scanned the class.

Everyone looked around, confused as to whose phone it was and why they hadn't turned it off yet.
