The Hot Coach

19. The one where she's annoyed

Elle

It is currently Monday morning and I am getting ready for school, thinking about Damon. Thinking about what a great dad he is. Every time I think of Emma I can't help but smile. Though I feel bad about the situation with her mom, she's such a beautiful baby and obviously she gets it from her dad.

I help the kids onto the bus before checking the time on my phone.

7:25

I don't have to be at school until 8:00 and my mother isn't even awake yet. I sigh and watch TV while I wait. The time passes slowly but eventually it is 7:50 and I'm getting impatient. I shake my mom awake but she just groans and rolls over.

"Mom! I have to go, I'm going to be late."

I tap my foot and she groans louder rolling my way.

"Why didn't you take the fucking bus?"

"Why would I take the bus when you're here?" I cross my arms and she squints at me.

"How am I supposed to work when I have four fucking brats to look after?!"

"I'm not trying to argue, I just want to go to school."

"Find your own fucking ride."

I make sure to turn on the light to her room before I leave and I leave the door open. I decide to walk to school, its a little bit far but I'd rather walk than bother anyone for a ride.

I get to school at 8:15 and I'm still annoyed because she couldn't bother to give me a ride. I'm sure you can see it on my face because as soon as I walk into Mr. Russell's class he smiles and then looks at me confused. I just shake my head and go to my seat.

As I login to start working I start thinking about it more. Why is she making such a big deal about taking me to school? Last year me not going to school was a problem, now that I am she can't even give me a fucking ride? I don't see why I should have to take the bus if she's at home doing nothing all day. I would understand if she cleaned or cooked but she doesn't do shit for us.

I feel a stinging in my palm and look down to see my fists white and the indent from my nails in my palm. My face turns red and I look around to make sure no one saw. I shake my hands before popping my knuckles and getting to work.

Lunch comes fast, but I don't move when the bell rings because Adam isn't here and I'm sure as hell not going alone. I continue to type on my computer when I hear the chair next to me move. I turn and see the guy who I met at lunch the other day, I think his name was Jason.

"Hey, Elle right?" He smiles and I return it with a nod before looking back towards my computer. I focus on him again when he leans in to whisper in my ear.

"Hey, so Brandon and I were gonna skip lunch and go buy food somewhere, wanna come?"

I think about it for a minute, it sounds like a bad idea but it would kind of be like a big "screw you" to my mom and that sounds awesome. But then again I don't need any trouble.

"Thanks for inviting me but no thank you, I don't think that's a good idea." He nods his head in understanding before leaning back.

"I'll bring you something, I know you're not leaving the class room." He jokes before leaving the room and I smile.

I hear the door close and turn to see Damon coming closer. He looks annoyed.

"You okay?" He ignores me and takes the seat where Jason was just sitting.

Okay..

I turn back to my computer but I can feel him staring a hole in the side of my face.
