Bitter Sweet Blaire: Teacher/Student Romance

Chapter Eight

A/N: So, I know I just updated, but Luca (aka, lefantasiemonstre) was demanding I do another one, so here goes :))

8.

For a tuesday, I was proud of how well my trio was doing. We hadn't gotten any detentions thus far, which meant our movie after school was still on. Though, now in fourth period, we still had Christian's class to go, so it was looking fairly grim.

"As quite of you are most probably aware," said Christian, "I forgot to give you your practice assessments for friday and monday." A collective murmur ran through the class. Yes, we were aware. "Because I wasn't reminded until today, I have to assume you forgot too. Anyway, we'll be doing it today."

We were given five minutes to prep, then it was all go.

I made my way through the questions, helping Caroline as I went.

"And pen's down," he said finally. Cool, only five minutes to go. I could totally avoid getting a detention for five minutes. "We have five minutes left so I'll quickly introduce you to our next topic." Kinematics? Instantly, I tuned out.

"Hey, Blaire," somebody whispered. Actually, not 'someone'; Tegan. Great. For the first time ever, she was sitting right in front of me.

"What?"

"Easy with the hostility," she muttered. "My dad says I have to get at least a B-, so do you think you can put in a good word for me with Mr Henrik so I can get my grade bumped up?" I cocked my head to the side, my hostility still in motion. Whatever she was getting at, it was going to be some master joke.

The most neutral comment I could think of was: "What are you talking about?"

"Well, I hear you suck him off, so other girls don't have to." There's where she was going with that.

I pretended to not understand what she was talking about. "What?"

"Isn't that how Caroline is going to pass? You give him a...good time, and he'll give her a good grade."

"Go suck Mr Henrik's dick yourself," I said, though of course it was way too loud. Everybody looked at me, including Christian, which just made it worse. Tegan sniggered, though I don't know why; she should be just as caught out as I was. The bell rang right then, and thank god, because Christian just let me go.

God, it was akward enough with Christian after the fight we'd had on saturday, and now this.

"Come on, let's get out of here," Caroline told me, and I wasted no time.

We met Miranda at the movie theatre in the mall five minutes into lunch.

"This wasn't part of the plan," she told us. "What happened to going after school?"

"We needed to get out of there as soon as possible," Caroline quickly said. "Come on, let's go."

"Backtrack!" I whisper-screamed at her, pointing at a couple who was walking toward us.

"Oh my god, that's Christian!" Miranda exclaimed. "And Kayla."

"So that's what she looks like," Caroline muttered under her breath.

The three of us then, as slowly and quietly as we could manage, backed away from the movie theatre. Christian was coming our way with Kayla, and guess where they were headed. Not Harold's Burger Joint, that was for sure.

"Yeah, I really want to see this movie," Caroline huffed, making her way back to where we'd been going. The happy couple made their way inside without even noticing us, so I made the executive decision to tag along.
