Erotica

IV

My eye lids  began to become heavy because Mrs. Badour was absent and Mr.Calencigo was our substitute teacher. He was always on his phone and never gave out any of the work she left for us to complete. To alleviate the uncomfortable pressure on my eyelids I closed my eyes.

I felt a light tap on the my left shoulder. Reluctantly, I opened my eyes while grunting in displeasure and turned around to come face to face with Zander Philips.

His perfectly lined, white teeth glowed as he smiled at me, making his dimples pop. He must've needed yesterday's notes since he showed up to class late. He's infamous for never doing his work or showing up late. I guess I just looked like one of those geeks that has everything.

He said in a horrible French accent, "veux-tu sortir avec moi, belle?"

I glared at him like he was smoking crack. We were in French 1 not 5 so I don't understand how he would even think I would know what the hell he is talking about. I was still astounded by how a person who barely shows up to class can form a comprehensive sentence better than me, a person who actually pays attention. 

"Translation please?" I asked in a confused tone with my eyebrows narrowing at him.

Zander rolled his eyes and then said, "I said, will you go on a date with me beautiful."

I fell out of my chair in shock and everyone's attention shifted towards me. Even Mr.Calencigo peered down at me while looking away at an intense game he was playing on his phone.

Zander like a gentleman pulled my arm helping me back up and helping me gain my balance again. The hard floor hurt my butt but at least that could confirm that this wasn't a dream. My longtime crush since middle school is not only acknowledging my existence other than academic reasons but to take me on a date?!??! What in the hell?!?

"Are you ok?" I asked.

He snickered and then said, "shouldn't I be asking you that? The girl who just fell."

He pointed to the ground.

"Uh, right," I said while scratching my hair.

"Sooooo..."

A millisecond later, Ryder came walking into the classroom with his blue book bag on his back.

I looked at Ryder making sure he was looking at me and then I looked at Zander. I kissed Zander on the cheek.

I said, "I can't wait. Just text me the details."

I wanted to do my little victory walk around the classroom because I could just feel the steam coming from Ryder's direction but that would be too over dramatic.

I felt my iPhone vibrate in the back pocket of my jeans. I received a text from Ryder saying for me to meet him at the park after school.

I responded no. Who does he think he is? I'm not going to come to his beckoning call every single time those stupid ass rules he made are sooo dumb.

My iPhone vibrated again. I opened my phone and Ryder texted me, Remember what happened the last time when you underestimated me?

I was in school. Why does he have to do this to me? My legs started to tremble uncontrollably. I had to leave the classroom and go into the bathroom. How is it just one text like that can just make me act like that?

I rushed into the bathroom and stumbled into the nearest stall. The bathroom was dead silent meaning I had to be the only person in there, thank god.

The bathroom door freaked open and then footsteps started to creep around the bathroom. The footsteps sounded heavy. I began to hyperventilate but then covered my hand as soon as I realized it made a noisy sound.
