Mr. Mendes

1

Jessica's POV. Beeeeep. I groan as my alarm clock wakes me from my deep sleep, first day of hell I thought as I slowly make my way to the bathroom to shower and get dressed. After my shower I added light curls to my hair and then decided on a impel yet cute outfit consisting of a pink t-shirt, white jeans, white vans, and a matching necklace.

Once I'm completely ready I jog down the stairs to the kitchen to grab my keys. As I walk into the kitchen I see a note lying on the counter. Good morning Jess! Had to leave early for work, we are having guest over for dinner, so when you get home get changed into dress clothes. Have a great first day of school! Love you, mom. I grimace at the thought of company, not because I just I don't like people but simply for the fact that I'm an introvert and a very awkward person in general.

  I smile when I see Mrs Cates name twice, she is the sweetest teacher you will ever meet, I begin to head to her classroom for 1st. The first two periods go by quickly because it was just introduction. I check my watch, SHIT my next class, English, starts in two minutes and it's all the way across the school. I run through the halls completely ignoring all of the teachers saying "slow down!" and "stop running!". I get to the classroom two minutes late and as I walk into the class I hear a deep, slightly accented voice cut me off "you're late". "Sorry sir it won't happen a-again." I say quietly and stutter as I see him. He's tall, very tall six foot at least and black ink in the form of a guitar is printed on his right arm, and a neat sparrow placed on his right hand. Oh my god is he chiseled from stone. "I will let it slide this time don't let it happen again miss..." "Lynn, Jessica Lynn" I state quietly under his intense gaze. " Well Ms. Lynn take an empty seat." He states smiling OMG that damn smile.
  I spot my best friend since childhood Sav and grab the seat next to her "Hey hoe" I say sitting down, "Yeah, yeah hi we have more important issues to talk about like Mr. Hottie up there." She whisper yelled. I chuckled, " Mr. Hottie seriously that's all you got." , she opened her mouth to say something but Mr. Mendes cleared his throat and began his speech. "I'm Mr. Mendes as many of you have noticed this is my first year here and I would like to start by going around the room and having everyone stand up state there name and a fun fact about themselves starting with...you." He states pointing at Brittney, the school hoe. "I'm Brittney Smith and English is my favorite subject" she states seductively biting down on her lip so hard I thought it might bleed. Me and Sav rolled our eyes at the same time and then looked over and chuckled. "Even if there was a spray called thot away it wouldn't work for that enormous thot." At this I couldn't contain my laughter and the both of us broke out in giggles. "Ladies, is there anything you would like to share with the class." Mr a mendes says with his arms folded and a stern look on his face. "No sir" we say in unison, still trying to refrain ourselves.
This continued until it got to me and Sav, Sav stood up and said "I'm Cheyenne Savana, but everyone calls me Sav, and a fun fact about me is that I have the best best friend in the world she squealed pulling me up with her.". I chuckled nervously "I'm Jessica Lynn and a fun fact about me is I like to ...sing?" I said though it sounded like more of a question. Mr. Mendes smirked and said "I hope to get to know all of you this year, does anyone have any questions for me?". Of course, Brittney's hand shot up almost at inhuman speed " Are you single" she asked slowly leaning for ward in the desk " I don't understand what that has to do with English, but yes I'm single." his honey brown eyes travelled to me when he said this then quickly looked away. I raised my hand and when he sees me he immediately smirks and calls on me, ugh great I normally raise my hand just to look like I was paying attention now he's actually gonna call on me, and why is this bitch smirking. "Where are you from, you sound like you have an accent?" He smiles at my question and then answers "Good observation, I'm actually from a small town called Pickering in Canada.". He smiles and starts to answer more questions.
I took this as a great opportunity to study his build. Mr Mendes was maybe 6'1 with a muscular but still lean figure, he had brown hair, and honey brown piercing eyes. He's wearing a suit that looks more important than my car and let me tell you, it was money well spent. Let's not forget about his hands, his hands were prettier than mine, and mine are well manicured, they were probably even prettier than my face. His were large, on the top of his right hand he had a of a sparrow, he even had a few tattoos on the insides between his finger such as an eight and an ... elephant? I normally don't find tattoos attractive on someone, but I think this man could pull anything off.My thoughts were interrupted as the bell rang, I packed up my stuff and headed out the door.
Right before I was out the door his kind husky voice softly spoke "Miss Lynn, could you please stay back a moment?"uh oh. I walked over to his desk and stood beside it, "Yes Mr Mendes?" I spoke softly. "I'd like to talk about you're grades, there is not easy way to say this but , well hun you're grades in the past show you struggle with this subject and I would like to help you in any way I can. Starting with tutoring, I'm free Wednesday's and Thursday's after school if that's okay with you.". "Yes thank you Mr Mendes that sounds great." I spoke with a timid smile. "Well, now that that has been settled you may go.", I began to walk away and could feel his intense stare as I exited the classroom.
The school day passed by fairly quickly, teacher's mainly went through their 'get to know me' presentation and annoying icebreakers to 'get to know your peers. The final bell of the day rings and me and Sav jump out of our seats and head to the school parking lot. "Can you hang out tonight?" she asks as we make our way to our cars. "I wish, we have new neighbors and my mom being the female version of Mr. Rogers has to get to know every neighbor." I say rolling my eyes playfully. "Damn, have fun though see you tomorrow!" She says cheerfully climbing into her car.  I climb into mine and drive home to get ready for tonight.
  When I get home I have a little bit of time so I decide to lounge around watching Netflix. Two episodes into the fosters and I hear noises in the kitchen signaling that my mom was home" Hey ma you need any help?" I ask walking into the kitchen "No thank you sweetie, but they'll be here soon so go get dressed." She says in a rush. I jog upstairs to touch up my makeup and slip on a dress, I decided upon a light blue simple dress that was perfect for a dinner party, cute but not too formal and dressy. I hear my mom call my name down stairs so I jog down there to meet her and my jaw drops. "Ms.Lynn, what a surprise." He states with a smirk  as his eyes travel up and down my body, I can see the confused look in my moms eyes. "You too know each other?" My mom says her eyes traveling between the two of us. "Mr Mendes is my English teacher mom." I say chuckling, a habit I have when I get nervous. " Well Shawn, I hope my daughter is behaving her self in your class." My mom says taking a side glance at me and I playfully roll my eyes and chuckle. Shawn, damn that's a hot name, can't say that it doesn't fit. I snap out of my thoughts when I hear his voice "I have a feeling she is going to be a great student Mrs. Lynn" I can practically hear the smirk in his voice. I walk into the kitchen to start setting the table and I can feel his eyes on my back side so I sway my hips a little extra and head him cough then try to cover it up by clearing his throat. I smirk and laugh silently to myself continuing on my way to the kitchen.
This is going to be a long night, but I'm not complaining.
