Beli's POV

"Beli? Beli...? Hellooo, Beli! Are you there?" Queenie announces as she waves a hand in my face.

I snap back to reality and saw that I was in English class with my best friend sitting next to me.

"Sorry what?" I look at her.

She shakes her head, "pay attention! I asked you if you were coming to Dustin's party tonight", she then smiles.

"Uhh, we'll see"

"C'mon, don't give me that, it's going to be fun"

I let out a deep breath. I hate going to parties. Parties are for people who are always drunk, high and ready for sex, which I don't like.

"I think I'm going to be busy" I scratch the back of my neck.

"Fucking hell, Beli, you can reschedule your date with books-or whatever you are 'busy' with. You're going to have fun. It's a party! Dustin's party! They're always fun"

I thought about it for a moment before saying a simple but yet meaningful word that I always seem to say when someone makes plans with me, "pass"

"Ugh, I hate you"

"Alright class, please settle down" the man at the front booms, almost making the walls tumble down.

"As you may already know, your teacher-whom I don't know, has badly injured herself"

I slightly gasp. I've always loved Mrs Sullivan. She's honestly the best teacher in this school. She's always so understanding and she treats us more like a friend than a teacher.

"Do you think she's going to be okay?" I ask Queenie.

She shrugs, "I don't know but serves her right"

Queenie only hates her because Ms Sullivan gives her poor marks for never putting effort onto her work. I love Queenie but she's in the wrong to do such thing.

"...so I'll be her-? replacement for the rest of the year" he clears his throat, "I'm Mr McLaughlin. If you can't pronounce my last name then just call me sir, Mr, Mr M... whatever floats your boat"

"I want to call you by your first name" Connor throws his hand up as he speaks with his thick Spanish accent.

Mr McLaughlin laughs, "not happening buddy"

"Anyways, the way it goes is that I'll only give you respect, if you give me the same respect back" he looks around the classroom.

"That's what they all say" Queenie quietly mutters. I nod.

"I'm going to do the role now and if I pronounce your name wrong, I apologise, please correct me" He walks around the teacher's desk and sits down as he goes on his laptop.

A few people later he finally arrives at my name, "Bee-lie?"

"It's Beli actually... just like belly" I correct.

"My bad, I'll try to remember that" he smiles at me which somehow warms up my heart.

"Are you blushing?" Queenie teases.

"No..." I say unsure.

"You are honestly so fucked up..." she shakes her head, "maybe I should hook you guys up" she wiggles an eyebrow viciously.

I felt my cheeks burning, "don't be silly"

"You know you want him" she giggles.

"Can I have silence, please?" Mr McLaughlin requests.

Queenie looks at him before looking back at me, "He is pretty hot" she whispers in my ear.
