Not Your Typical Student-Teacher Love Thing! (Complete)

Chapter 5

The Next Day (at school):

I walked into homeroom, sat at my seat and avoided eye contact with everyone. I was still really upset about Eric and the break-up. I was doing a really good job and moping, that is until Chrissy came into the room. She came right over to me, “Do you want to talk about, honey?” being at school made me want to hurl, bring back the memory of yesterday and the break-up. I didn’t want to say that to Chrissy right now. I was shaking my head no, when I realized I could no longer hold back the tears that were trying to make their way out in the open. So as I was shaking my head no, the tears started to silently make their way down my cheeks, as if to say to the world here I am right here on Kate’s face, please come look at me then shoot pity glances at me or give the look that says your a freak for crying in public, or better yet ask me if I okay so I can break down again only that time I wont be able to pull myself together. I quickly wiped them away hoping no one noticed except for Chrissy who I already knew had, but thankfully she understood me and didn’t draw any attention to them, but instead pretended they had never been there at all.

            “…fine. I’m fine.” I said but barely above a whisper. Being Chrissy she pulled me into a hug and patted my back.

            “I know you don’t want to hear it, but really I promise, everything will fall into place and when it does you’ll know that this had to happen so something greater and someone that was meant to be with you forever could come into your life and stay with you always. That all your dreams could come true, but you have to take the good with the bad because without the bad you wouldn’t now what was good! I promise there was a reason for this, and eventually you will figure out why.”

Just as she had finished her little speech the bell rang. She quickly sat down in the seat next to me, but didn’t say another word so I had time to digest what she had said. I knew she was right, and I knew it full heartedly. But that didn’t stop the sorrow that had filled my life less than 24 hours ago, and seemed as if it would stay forever and never let me go.

The day went by fast even though I was hoping it would drag so I wouldn’t have to go to Eric’s class, but of course luck wasn’t on my side. At lunch everyone was still talking about the hot new math teacher, yeah me!!... NOT! Now I was getting ready to walk into HIS class with Chrissy by my side, when I stopped dead in my tracks and faced Chrissy. “I can’t do this, I’m… I’m going home. Will you bring me my homework please or whatever from class?”

I could tell she didn’t want me to leave, but being the great friend she is, she sighed and said, “yeah…” I gave her a slight smile and was getting ready to walk away when of course there HE is.

I was pretty sure he had over heard us, and my suspicion was confirmed as he opened his mouth. “You girls wouldn’t be trying to ditch my class now would you?” I was shocked was he really going to do this to me? Why me?!?!?!?!

“No, of course not, Mr. Winter. Kate was just going to go use the restroom and was asking me to let you know if she didn’t make it back in time for the bell.” Man she was a good liar, even when we all knew it was a lie. But he couldn’t say anything unless he admitted to listening in on our conversation, which I knew he wouldn’t, that just wasn’t him.

“Okay, well…” he was cut off by the bell. He looked at me, “Kate you may use the restroom but hurry, I expect to see you back in my class.” He then looked at Chrissy, “You may get to class now.”

“Right, Okay.” We both mumbled under our breath as we walked our separate directions.

I walked to the bathroom but I didn’t have to go, so I walked up to the sink splashed cold water on my face, and gave myself a little pep talk for class. “you can do this.” I said to myself. “it’s one class, that lasts 45minutes and I’m already missing some of it… see that’s a little better now.” I was trying but I knew I wasn’t going to be able to make myself feel better, so I gave up and slowly walked to class. Not really caring what Eric had said about hurrying.
