||Mr. Lopez||

• The Last Class •

{Ray's POV}

[My last class started to pile in. I was exhausted. I can't wait to get home and take a nap. Just as I was about to close the door, there she was. She was catching her breath from running down the hall. I held the door open as she walked in.]

"Thanks, Mr. Lopez."

[Her voice gave me enough energy to teach the class for the rest of the class period. For most of the class period, I called on her to answer questions, and she always got them right. She was so smart, too. That only made me want her even more. The longer I admired her from the front of the class, the more I yearned for her to become mine, as if she belong to me and only me. She was perfect for me. I could see that God has finally sent me the one, even if she was young.]

"Uh, Mr. Lopez," Angel Rodriguez said, obviously irritated.

I shook myself out of my trance. "Oh, yes, Angel?"

"Can I go see Mr. August?"

I squinted my eyes at her. "What for?"

She sucked her teeth. "So, I could talk to him, dang. Now, can I go?"

"Fine. Take the pass," I said, dismissing her, so I could stare more at Y/N.

[Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of last period. My last class started filing out of the class to grab their stuff to go home. Before Y/N could walk out of the empty room, I called her back in.]

"Y/N, could you stay for a minute? I wanna talk to you."

She smiled. "Sure."

[I hope this works.]
