The Clutz

Chapter #3

With that, I walk into History and take my seat next to Lily. The bell hasn't rung yet so she started talking about her day and asked how I got detention and I told her that I was late to class. Then when I went to grab my History book my hair shifts and she sees the hickey and says, "Jess what the hell is on your neck." I visibly gulped and was about to answer but the bell rang.

After History Lily and I walked to our lockers together. I told her that my hickey was from a guy but it was complicated. She was mad but understood and we agreed to talk about it tonight or tomorrow at lunch. When the bell rang we parted and headed towards our 5th period.

When I got to English I saw that the only open seat was in the front right next to the teacher's desk. When I sat down Ethan looked up at me and smiled, so I smiled back. During class all I did was daydream, luckily I was staring off into space instead of at Ethan again.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when the bell rang. Ethan walked up to my desk and said "You can sit at my desk and do whatever you want this period."

"Okay, thanks...Can I take a nap?" I asked, he laughed and said "No, sorry. But you can stare at me. You know, since its not actually an academic class." I rolled my eyes and he winked. I walked over to his desk and saw a picture of him and a girl, my heart sunk. Once he saw me looking at it he said "That's my sister." I was so relieved, he saw it on my face and laughed.

He walked to the front of the classroom and started class as the bell rang. I pulled out some math homework and was slowly working on it while looking up at Ethan every once in a while. About halfway through the class he walked over to his desk after passing out homework and saw that I was having trouble with my homework and whispered in my ear "Babe if you had paid attention to the lesson this would be easy. I can help you after school, at my house." With that, I turned around and whispered back "Fine, but only if we stop at Starbucks on the way there. And you're paying because of the hickey on my neck!" He smirked and said "Okay, here is my phone number, go to your locker and get your stuff then meet me by my car." I smiled as he wrote his phone number and said: "Thanks E" I winked and got on my phone to make a contact. When I realized that I didn't have a picture of Ethan I quickly turned the camera around (because he was still standing behind me) and took a picture of him without him noticing.

Once I was done, I clicked save and turned off my phone. I checked the time and it was almost time to leave so I packed up and opened my phone forgetting that Ethan was still standing behind me. I looked back to see if he had seen his contact and he was laughing while still looking at my phone so I elbowed him in the stomach. He acted as if it hurt, but walked in front of the class and told everyone to clean up. He came back to his desk he started to clean up and said "You're going to regret taking that photo."

"Really and what are you going to do about it? Class is still in session." Right as I said that the bell rang and I just sighed. I stood up when the classroom was empty but he grabbed me by the waist and picked me up before I could make it out. He set me down still holding onto my sides and asked: "Are you ticklish?" I immediately knew what was about to happen because the door was closed and where his fingers were. Before I could answer he started tickling me, I couldn't breathe because of how much I was laughing. He finally stopped when I curled into his chest and was about to scream. I glared at him while he had a smile stretching from ear to ear.

"Never do that again," I said angerly. He just laughed, I realized that I was still curled into his chest and blushed. I pulled away and he said "no promises, but that's what you get for taking a picture of me." He winked as I rolled my eyes. "I have to go grab my stuff from my locker, text me a picture of your car." With that, I walked out of the classroom. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and texted him:

Hey, its Jess

Hey Babe, here's a pic of my car

Thanks be there in a sec
