Teach Me Something New

Chapter 3

When we all turned to look at the owner of the voice, Mr White was standing at the door, looking directly at me.

"Okay," I said, looking at Joy then Ms Wilson. Their confused gaze flickered between Mr White and me.

"You know where my office is. Come down when the bell rings. I know you don't have a committed lesson," he said as he turned around and walked back to his office.

"Well, there you go, that's what I have next lesson," I said to Joy and Ms Wilson.

"What did you do?" Joy asked.

"I don't know, he probably wants to know how my assignment is going or something, you know after how I zoned out in our first class," I replied, not knowing for sure why the hottest teacher in school wanted to talk to me.

"Well, let's hope that you're not in trouble again. It's just your second day, Shadow," Ms Wilson said.

"What would be new?" I muttered more to myself.

The bell rang soon after I said that, so if Ms Wilson heard what I said at all. She couldn't question it.

Standing up, I walked with Joy to her locker. I didn't need anything so I just stood waiting for her before we went our own separate ways.

Once I reached Mr White's office, I knocked on the door and waited for an answer.

"Shadow, come in," he said. Damn, he is good.

"Yes Sir," I replied and walked in, shutting the door behind me quietly.

"So Shadow, what have you done for English since we last saw each other yesterday?" Mr White asked me.

"Not, much Sir," I answered honestly, looking down at my combat shoes shyly. I did not want to see a disappointed look on his extremely hot face.

"Look at me Shadow," Mr White demanded softly. I did as he said and slowly looked up at his face.

"No need to be shy, it's all good, I was just checking your progress with it that's all. You can sit down too," he said, gesturing to the chair closest to him. I did as I was told and sat down.

"Okay," I said, relaxing a bit into the chair.

"What do you think of me?" he asked me. Shocked, I looked up at him, trying to get a read on his face and emotions, trying to see what he was thinking, but he was a closed book. His eyes showing a mixture of unreadable feelings.

"I don't know what you mean," I say softly, confused on his meaning.

"Think about it, okay," Mr White smiled. "You can go now."

"Okay, thank you, Mr White," I said nodding my head, before leaving his office.

"Anytime." He called after me as I shut the door behind me.

"Shadow, is it?" Asked a girl who stood across the hall. She was wearing what looked like a designer dress and expensive six-inch heels.

I nodded and continued on my way to my locker.

"Don't turn away when I talk to you," She said, and I stopped walking. So she's going to be one of those girls who think they're top dog.

"What?" I asked, smiling at her. All I really wanted to do was to tear that perfect blonde hair off her head.

"What were you doing in Mr White's office?" She asked.

"Talking to him about my class," I replied honestly, starting to get a bit pissed at her. She took a few steps closer to me.
