Our Little Secret (Rhett McLaughlin//TeacherXStudent)

#8

Beli's POV

"Apparently we have Mr Mc-Low-len as a sub" Queenie attempts to say.

"Mr McLaughlin" I correct.

"Yeah that"

"I wish we had Simon" she frowns.

Simon is adored by everyone in this school. He has dark skin, short black hair that's turning white and he'd always wear a suit everyday to school. He never tells us off for anything, even if we don't do our work.  He's very shy but yet he'll try to get to know everyone.

The way he teaches is by writing our instructions on the board, explains them, then he lets us off to work. (This is actually one of my teacher's at school. Everyone loves him)

"To be honest, same" I finally say, "but then again, Mr McLaughlin is also good"

"Good afternoon, class" Mr McLaughlin eventually says. I jump. He smiles at me.

"You're actually so embarrassing" Queenie face palms as she whispers.

"I didn't know he was here. Plus, he's so loud"

The teacher then gives himself an introduction before giving us each a thin booklet to work on.

"Sorry I'm late sir" Caleb hurries in.

"No worries, buddy, take a seat" Mr McLaughlin says and waits for him to sit. Caleb comes up to me and places his stuff next to me.

"Hi" I whisper.

"Hey. I'm still mad at you by the way so don't think that you're off the hook"

I chuckle, "figured"

"Can you do the roll for me?" The teacher asks as he comes up to me.

"Sure" I take the pen and paper with people's names on it from me.

"Thank you, kind creature"

I look up at him before laughing, "that's interesting"

He smiles in return before leaving to sit on the teacher's desk. I start to tick off people who were here and unmarked the one's who weren't here.

"This booklet is due next lesson, so complete as much as you can" Mr McLaughlin announces.

I look up at him, his eyes immediately meets mine. My whole body system suddenly stops.

"Beli?" Caleb asks.

"Are you okay?" He pokes my cheek.

"Yeah" I look at him. I grab the pen and paper, Mr McLaughlin gave me and returned it back to him.

"Thank you"

"No problem" I say sweetly.

I go back to my seat.

"What the hell was that?" Queenie asks disgustedly.

"What was what?" I ask.

"Are you flirting?"

Caleb immediately throws his head at me from looking down at his work, "who's she flirting with?"

"No one! I'm just being friendly" I whimper.

"There's a difference between being flirty and being friendly" Queenie says.

"You're just high" I shake my head.

"What?" Caleb asks confusedly.

I pull Caleb closer to me, "She started snorting the white powder" I whisper.

"Really? Queenie? You? Out of all people I would never expected you to do that"

"Fuck you" she flashes him the middle finger.

"You guys doing your work over there?" Mr McLaughlin calls out causing the class go quiet.

"Uh. Yeah.." I say shyly.

I do a couple of questions before noticing that Caleb is looking over my shoulder.

"Can I help you?" I look at him.

"N-no" he blushes.

"Brb, gotta powder the nose" Queenie stands up, "sir, I'm going to the bathroom"

"No worries" the teacher smiles.

There was silence until Queenie walks back in and drops in her seat.

"Ouch" I say since it made a pretty loud sound.

She inhales hardly and wipes her nose.

"Shit's great" she attempts to smile.

I look at Caleb, "she's a mess..."

He nods.

"Sir, Beli said...." she thinks for a moment, you could tell she was not okay.

Everyone waits for Queenie to continue including myself and the teacher.

"I said what?" I finally say.

"She said that you're the most-" she then has a choking fit.

I look at the teacher, he looks at me confusedly.

"I honestly don't know what's happening or what I said" I mutter.

"I think she's going to put you in detention" Caleb whispers.

I look at him, "she's acting dumb but she's not that dumb to do so-"

"She hates you! She thinks you're the most dumbest teacher she has ever had" Queenie finally says.

"Queenie!" I squeak sounding like I actually did say something like that.

Some people gasps, some eyes widened and some laughed.

I realise my mistake and immediately say, "I didn't! I'm not a savage!"

"That's a detention for you after school, Ms-" he stops forgetting my last name.

"Kameāloha, it's Kameāloha, sir"
