Opposites Attract

1. Class Schedule

Summer break was coming to an end for Brody, soon he'd be back in school again. He felt that school would never end but thankfully this was his senior year. Brody laid on his bed staring at the ceiling wondering what the future held for him. Maybe he'd find his dream girl this school year, he thought, but didn't really believe it. His girlfriend had dumped him over the summer so he dreaded seeing her again once school started. Although a small part of him wanted to see Megan again. She was an attractive girl, with an amazing body. They just couldn't seem to get along though, maybe because they had different backgrounds? Megan was a wealthy preppy girl, while he came from a working class family who had what they needed but not a lot more.

Brody's thoughts were interrupted by a knock on his bedroom door. "Come in!" His mom entered his room with a envelope in her hand. 

"Hey hun, I think this might be your class schedule. Aren't you excited!?" She said sarcastically. 

"Sure mom, i'm real excited!" They both laughed. 

She knew her son had never enjoyed school and unlike most moms she understood where he was coming from. She was never very popular in school, more of a late bloomer. She was a nerd in school but turned into quite an attractive woman. Her son however did not get her nerd gene, but was quite a handsome young man. "So what teachers did you get? Any you've had before?" She asked as he scanned his class schedule. 

"Yeah a couple. Mrs. Bond and Mrs. Gaskins." 

"Mrs. Gaskins is the one you didn't like at first but you ended up getting along with her right?" She asked trying to place her. 

"Yeah that's the one." He answered as he thought about  his teacher. It was true he first had her in his freshman year and he couldn't stand her. He found her to be stuck up and mean. As his freshman year went on their relationship got slightly better when he realized her motives weren't always bad and she actually seemed to want to help him. Still he just tried to stay under her radar that year mostly because he misinterpreted her motives. Also he always heard rumors she was a mean teacher. But  as with most rumors they usually come from misunderstanding someone. Which he would figure out more the second year he had her which had been his sophomore year. During his sophomore year he started to relax around her more which allowed him to see that she seemed to care about him and wanted to see him succeed. They had actually become really friendly with each other over the years. It was his second year with her that he actually developed a crush on her. He had started to notice what an attractive woman she was, a fact that he was previously blind to because of his preconceived notions about her. She was a black woman in her early 50's, the type of woman that always looked a decade younger than she was. Her body was amazing, he had admired it quite a bit. That was one subject he could focus on! He had many crushes on different teachers over the span of his school years but this one was different. He admired this woman. This would be the third year she taught him but the fourth year they knew each other.

"Well at least that's one teacher you like!" said his mom trying to put a positive spin on the school year. 

"Yep that is one teacher I like." He replied grinning. Suddenly one more year of school didn't seem so bad.
