Teach Me A Lesson

Chapter One

The sun hits my fragile skin as I 'am walking passed the busy street. It was a nice day to begin with. People with their expensive cars are passing back and forth in the main road. Parents are walking with their children, sending them off to their designated schools. Businessmen and businesswomen walking like penguins, flapping their feet with their blue uniforms while holding their suitcases. Stores are finally open and people are starting to queue to pay.

I hurriedly passed those people and decided to mind my own business. I hurriedly walk because I don't want to be late in my first day of school. Well I'm not a student or pupil but actually I'm a teacher; specifically I'm a preschool teacher and it's my first day of work. I can't wait to meet my pupils and I don't want to ruin this day. I turn left and passed some old houses. My heart nearly jumps off from my chest as the dogs bark as they saw me. Well I'm not that really afraid of dogs it's just they startled me. I half run and half walk deciding to keep my balance as I headed to the campus. Suddenly, my phone vibrates inside my bag and I checked it and there I saw my boyfriend's name in the screen. I tap the answer button and put the phone to my ear.

"Hi there babe! How's it going there?" Zachary exclaim on the other line.

"Hi babe, well I'm still walking to the school campus" I said to him as I keep walking passing some houses, shops and bakeries.

"You didn't take the bus? If I were there I'm going to drive and fetch you there. But said to say I was stock in this town" he apologetically said and I can tell he was concerned to me by walking in this street in my first day of class.

"No, it's okay. I'm good and besides the school campus is not that far. I prefer to walk so that I can exercise a little." I said half joke at him making him giggle at the other line.

"I guess you really need that one. You're getting fat and miss those curves of yours." He jokes back at me.

"Well, just wait and see because by the time you saw me I'm sure you can't get rid of your eyes on my perfect body" I said while laughing. Having a conversation with him this early in the morning really makes my day complete.

"Oh really, we'll see about that." he said challenging me.

I turn right this time and my heart filled with relief as I saw the big printed name of my school it says: "Welcome To West Kindergarten School".

"Uhm babe, I guess I'm at school now. I gotta call you after class." I said to him.

"Okay babe, if there's something you need just call me okay?" he said with a tender tone.

"Sure, I will. Love you babe."

"Love you babe." He said and I hung up.

I really can tell that I miss that guy. We're in this kind of a long distance relationship since I moved here. I told him once that he is always welcomed if he will come with me in New York but he refuses because there is a big job opportunity waiting for him there. As his girlfriend, I let him take that job, gave my full heart support to him and decided to take my own journey in this city and I'm not that kind of girl who is possessive. So, he is there in Nashville while I'm in New York City, that's a really long distance relationship, I guess.

Zachary and I were started dating for five months. I met him in my best friend's party. At that time he was so cool and friendly and I can tell that every girl at the party that they can't take their eyes off on him and so do I. We did as normal people would do to every party. We drink; eat some foods and most of all we dance until our feet begins to numb. I expect nothing on that day but to my surprise he approached me and gave me a glass of vodka. First, I hesitate to accept his offer but I really can't turn him down not that he is being friendly with me. So I take the opportunity to hang out with him since my best friend is nowhere to be seen that evening. We talk and laugh about lots of things. I learned that he is a football player during his junior high and he took Business Administration as his course in college. I learned that he never dated anyone before, as in no one. The thought of him having "no girlfriend since birth" made me laugh and it's realIy unbelievable. Well, just look at his cool face, those hypnotizing blue eyes you can't resist and those cute dimples of him every time he smiles, for sure I know that every girl would love that. I try to hide my smile of that idea of "NO GIRLFRIEND SINCE BIRTH" so that it will not embarrass him. We were so deep in our conversation and didn't even notice that it was already midnight. I decided to go home and to my final leave I gave my best friend a hug and my final wish. On my way out, I was surprised that he followed me and he asked for my number. Without a second thought I gave him my phone number. I guess there's nothing wrong with that, I mean I don't have a boyfriend anymore; sad to say we broke up already couple months ago and I can say that I already moved on. To make the long story short that was the beginning of our love story. We started being friends and the more we hang out, the more we developed our feelings for each other. We did every normal people would do, we hang out, date, we call and text every day and night, and sometimes we fight for some reasons. There was a time that we fight that we nearly ended up our relationship because of that fucking jealous I had but at the end of the day we talked about it and work it out.
