You light me up

Thank You

"Ready," she said. "Five, four, three, two, one." With a quick movement, there was a loud pop and a soaring pain in my arm. I squeezed Ms. James' hand really hard I was hoping she didn't get too hurt. When I opened my eyes, I let go of her hand and I watched and she started shaking it around.

"Oooof, you sure have a lot of strength," she laughed. Just then the bell rung. I was still in my PE clothes and I knew I'd have to return for my clothes and face Amy again. I made a face at the thought of it and Ms. James saw me.

"What's that look for?" I told her about Amy and she stood there thinking for a few seconds.

"Why don't you head over to my class and I'll go grab your clothes for you. That way you won't end up back in the office for fighting and you won't hurt your shoulder any more. You can change in my class, I'll make sure no one enters until your done." I was hesitant but I agreed. I guess she's right. As I made my way to her classroom people from my PE class approached me and congratulated me on the great catch I made. I have to admit that made me walk taller and feel better. I waited outside the classroom until Ms. James showed up.

"Here's your clothes and your bags,"she said handing them to me. I thanked her and walked into the room. I set my things down and put my clothes on over my PE clothes just to save time. Luckily I had this class next and I wouldn't be late. I walked to the door and opened it to let her know I finished changing. She smiled and walked inside. Taking a seat behind her desk she pulled up what seemed to be the attendance sheet on her computer.

"Well, Sandra it seems like you're in my next class. Do you think you'll be ok in here or should I send you back to the nurse?" I smiled to myself. It's the first day and she seems genuinely concerned for me. I assured her I'd be ok and took a seat at the front. All my classmates entered the room and the lesson began. Class went by pretty slow but it was fine because my next period was free and it was the first day meaning I didn't have to go if I didn't want to. I looked up and Ms. James as I gathered my things, she was again standing at the door saying goodbye to her students. "I think I just met my wife." I thought. I shook it away thought because obviously she wouldn't ever like me. It's not only illegal but she could get fired and I didn't want to do that to her ever.

"Are you ok, you look a little spaced," she asked walking over to me. I nodded my head and stood up.

"Have a good day Ms. James," I began walking out the door but stopped. "Thank you, for today it was the best first day of school ever." I smiled and left. The entire walk to my car I was thinking about her smile, her laugh, her smell, her voice. I only just met her and I find myself wanting to know everything about her. When I got to my car I drove off and couldn't wait to lay down.

"Mom I'm hoooome," I said as I closed the front door. She came running from the kitchen.

"My poor baby, the nurse called me and told me what happened, are you ok?" I laughed. My mom always fusses over everything but I don't care because it shows she loves me. I'm glad I have her, my father wanted nothing to do with me.

"I'm fine mom, my shoulder just dislocated but they put it back into place." She nodded her head.

"Ok sweetie if you say so." I made my way upstairs to my room and grabbed a change of clothes. With that I jumped into the shower and let the warm water do its job. I was having a great time getting soaked until my mom knocked on the door.

"Yes?,"I shouted loud enough for her to hear me.

"I forgot to tell you we have a new neighbor that moved in down the block, I was going to tell you this morning but you were in a hurry. Get ready and I'll make a little basket for you to walk down there." I groaned to myself but agreed to do it. Who knows maybe I could meet a new friend down there. I got ready and pulled on a quick sweater since it was beginning to get cold out. I slid down the stairs and my mom handed me the little gift basket. It was really cute. It had bread, a bottle of wine, and flowers. After closing the door behind me I decided to just walk down there and enjoy the walk in the neighborhood. I arrived in front of a beautiful two story house. I walked up onto the porch and rang the doorbell. I stood there but the roses around the windows caught my attention. The door opened.

"Hey there stranger." I heard a melodic voice say. I looked away from the roses and over the the person in front of me. My eyes widened. There stood Ms. James in tight leggings, a crop top, and a cute messy bun.

"H-hey Ms, I'm sorry I didn't know you lived here. My mom told me we had a new neighbor down the street but I didn't expect it to be you." She smiled at me. We stood there for a few minutes in silence until I remembered what I was there for.

"Oh, here,"I said extending the gift basket towards her. " My mom made it for you and asked me to bring it over." She took the basket and turned to look behind her.

"Thank you I love it," she said with a smile. " Do you think it'd be weird if I asked you if you wanted to come inside." I laughed at her input and shook my head.

"If you asked me if I wanted to drink maybe but this," I motioned around us. "It's just borderline so it doesn't count, I would love to come inside." She laughed and moved aside allowing me to enter. I was completely in awe of her place. It was beautiful and fit her personality. Family pictures along the walks flowers in vases and a grey color around. She walked over to her kitchen and set the basket down.

"You have a beautiful home Ms. James." I told her. She made a face at me.

"Please, call me Lauren. Ms. James makes me feel like my mother." I laughed and nodded my head.

I get bored and full of Ideas but I love it because I get to add to the story. Hope you guys are enjoying, please vote and comment. Thank you.
