C H A P T E R S E V E N || NICE 'STACHE

"You know what? I'll just take her," a voice interrupted and my arm was grabbed by long and manicured nails. Miranda.

I winced as she dragged me out of the gym, her hand still keeping a tight grip on my arm. I felt like a little child as she pulled me along. I had half a mind to yell at her to let go of me but I stayed silent, hoping she would say what she wanted to and leave.

"What do you think you're doing?" she growled.

"Huh?" I said dumbly and her eyes narrowed.

"Don't play stupid, you know exactly what you're doing," she hissed and my eyebrows furrowed.

"I- " I began but she cut me off.

"You think that staring like a love sick puppy at Connor will make him take you back?" she glared and I cowered. "And making goo-goo eyes at the new boy! You're pathetic." She was still dragging me along but her nails were digging into my arm painfully, surely leaving marks.

"I didn't do anything," I muttered.

"Oh please," she rolled her eyes. "You were crushing on the new boy so hard AND still pining for Connor."

"I wasn't- " I started but she the look in her eyes made me stop. She was glaring at me so viciously and all I wanted to do was crawl into a ball and never come out.

"You're completely see through," she continued. "Connor would never take you back, I mean look at you." She looked disgusted. "It was idiotic of him to agree to it, it ruined his reputation," she muttered the last part under her breath and my eyebrows rose in confusion.

What did Connor agree to?

"Uh, Miranda?"

"What?" she snapped.

"We're here." We stood outside the nurse's office and she rolled her eyes and dropped my arm. I wasn't surprised to find she had left crescent shaped nail prints.

I was just about to walk in but she stopped me.

"Teddy?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't ever double cross me again."

I walked into Literature and took my usual seat in the middle. Keeping my head down, I pulled my homework and pen out. The classroom slowly filled with students and Mr Becker walked in, carrying his briefcase and friendly smile.

He was one of the cool cat teachers; giving more high fives than detention slips. He was quite young, probably 22 and a most of the female population secretly harboured crushes on him. Mr Becker always made jokes in class which got him a lot of admiration from most of the boys in the school. Students who were in his class were usually considered the 'lucky ones' because our other history teacher was an old lady with large glasses, white hair pulled up in a bun, yellow teeth and a permanent scowl.

Mr Becker was an amazing teacher and it made me love Literature even more as a subject. I already loved to read and write but having an amazing teacher only added to the excitement of sitting in a class to talk about words.

"Morning class," he said crisply. He grinned at us and rubbed his hands together. Most people were paying attention, except for one or two delinquents.

"Sorry I'm late," the door burst open and a flustered Blake aka Adonis walked in. "I got lost."

Speaking of delinquents...

"That's okay. Take a seat," Mr Becker said kindly and Blake nodded.

Curse Mr Becker for being so nice! Blake took a seat in front of me and pulled out a notebook and pen. As he opened it up to a new page, I got a glimpse of his writing and was surprised to find how neat it was. I scowled and looked down at my own messy scrawl.

Concentrate Teddy!

I turned my attention back to Mr Becker and tried to take in what he was saying. 

"we need to think about the end of semester projects people..." Mr Becker continued to talk but my attention annoyingly wandered away once again.

I stared at the back of Blake's head. It was quite nicely shaped, I noticed, and his thick head of honey brown hair was roughly straightened. It would have looked stupid on other guys but Blake managed to pull it off effortlessly, which made me feel immensely annoyed.

He must have felt my quite heated stare because he turned to look at me, raising a perfect eyebrow.
"Yes?"

I blushed. "N-n-nothing s-s-sorry," I cursed at myself for stuttering as his grin widened.

"I-I-Its o-o-okay," he mocked me and I glared but he only looked amused.

"Are you always a jerk or is it just cause you're PMSing?" I said, proud of myself for getting the entire sentence out. He looked surprised but then his usual smirk appeared. 

"Last time I checked, I wasn't a girl but you can always find out," he winked at me and I shuddered. Yuck.

"Ew. No thanks. Wouldn't wanna catch anything," I muttered and he laughed. The bastard laughed. Bloody hell.

"Okay class, that's that. Have a nice day and you are dismissed," Mr Becker called out over the flurry of students shoving books into their bags.

I too, stood up and began to pack my bag.

"Hey, Shyness?" Blake called out and I glowered at him.

"Don't call me that."

"Nice 'stache," he smirked and my eyes widened in shock and a blush came over my face. That was visible? Shit. Shit. Shit.

"It's not just any moustache, it's a French one," I called out lamely as he left and I could hear his deep laugh as he walked away.

What the hell did I say that for?

Authors note
Hi guys! So this was a bit of a filler chapter, so sorry about that and it didn't turn out very funny. And there is no Lily in this chapter which makes me sad because she is one of my fav characters. I am still working on my nano entry and ugh, I have a writers' block. That's what I hate most about writing to a deadline but nano is also helpful because it pushes people to finish a whole novel.
The good thing is that I have some free time on my hands so I am probably gonna be updating more often but the bad news is that my internet is a bitch and will not connect so even though I might have them typed up on my computer, I might not be able to post them. Just a quick heads up! Anyway, this is probably the longest authors note I have ever written, so you are the bomb.com if you read this.
If you liked this chapter make sure to comment, vote and maybe even fan. Till then, bye and ily.
