The Trouble On Your Lips (Kellic)

16

Imagine me actually being happy to go to a class for once. That's what I felt when I walked to Biology the next day with Alex, Tay and Mike. Of course none of them knew why I was so eager to get there. It was definitely out of character for me, but I didn't care. I was truly happy at that moment, which really, I'm usually a happy person, or at least I thought I was. I think I was so content in my usual day to day emotions, minus the random outbursts of depression or anger that I had lately, and so now that I was actually happy I could feel the difference. My emotions usually confused me because I was either feeling nothing, or intensely feeling everything, but this one I was sure of. I was simply happy.

I walked into class and most people were already there and seated. Vic was at the front of the classroom by his desk and it took everything in me not to pounce on him.

"Looking good, Mr. Fuentes," I flirted. His eyes shot up to me. No one else batted an eyelid at my comment. They were all used to me flirting with everything that moved so it didn't come as a surprise that I was flirting with Vic. That was a perk of my personality; I could openly flirt with Vic and no one would think anything is going on because it's just what I usually do.

"Take a seat, Mr. Quinn," he said, acting every part the responsible teacher. My flirting didn't even affect him. I guess he's a good actor. I went down the back of the classroom to the usual row of desks that I sat at. I situated myself between Mike and Tay, with Alex on the other side of his girlfriend.

"Could you not flirt with my brother? It's weird," Mike whispered.

"Oh lighten up, it's just a bit of fun," I said.

"How would you like it if I flirted with your sister?" he asked. I shrugged.

"Go right ahead. I'm sure she wouldn't be interested in a high school boy anyway," I said.

"Yeah well neither is my brother," he said. I bit my tongue, fighting the urge to tell him the truth and win the mini-argument we were having.

"Calm down. I flirt with everyone. It's harmless," I said.

"It's true, he does," Tay backed me up. Mike looked at the two of us and rolled his eyes.

"Whatever," he said dismissively. Maybe Vic's right about not telling Mike about us. He seems annoyed enough at me for flirting with Vic, let alone actually being in a relationship with him. I shrugged it off though. At the end of the day I don't really care what Mike thinks. I'm going to do and say what I want.

I flipped open my notebook to get ready for class. I didn't really know much about biology, but that didn't matter considering I usually spent most of the class checking out Vic. I looked up at him to see him looking back. I smiled and teasing licked my lips. He looked away quickly. It was really strange sitting here as a student knowing that no one else in the room knew of what Vic and I got up to. I felt kind of special actually. The man himself stepped away from his desk, looking out to the rest of the class.

"Okay, quiet down," Vic said and the low rumblings of the class ceased as everyone paid attention to him, "So did you all have fun on the biology trip?"

There were a round of 'yes's' muttered. I know I sure did have fun.

"I hope you all actually learnt something instead of just goofing off with your friends," he said and his eyes shot to me. I just smiled innocently, "I also hope you were paying attention to Miss McDougall and remembered to bring your completed reports, which as you know are worth a large portion of your grade. Have them out and on your desk so I can collect them,"

"Oops," I whispered. With everything going on with Vic and I lately I had forgotten to complete the report. I took the single sheet of paper out of my notebook. All that was on it was a few notes from when we were on the field trip. Oh well, this isn't the first time I've forgotten to do an assignment. It's not like I cared about Biology anyway.
