The English Teacher

Part Seven

Veronica's POV

Of course I'll give her an extra few days, and no it's not because I basically like her, it's because she seems to be going through a lot right now. Plus, it's the first few weeks of school that's alright. For me at least.

I watched her leave the classroom. I can't do it anymore. "Betty." She turned back and looked at me. "Yes, Miss." She responded. I let out a small, but big sigh. "If you need help you can stay after school sometime. Like anytime. We could work on the report if your stuck. I just don't know what part you'd be stuck on though, but it's fine. Just think about it." She nodded. I gave her a small smile. She looked behind her and out if the door then back at me.

8) No, ever teacher-student relationship works or lasts. It is always interrupted by the student telling someone and they tell another teacher to an adult.

9) Friends get suspicious and find out.

10) Hiding and sneaking around is not a good thing. It's how you get caught.

These aren't great reasons, but it's shit that can happen.

"Hey. Yea. I'll think about it. Umm my friends may be waiting for me or they may have left I dont know. But, yea I'll sure will think about it." I nodded. "Okay." I said. She nodded back and turned and walked out the door. As she walked out of the door a peice of paper fell from her bag or she dropped it, I don't know. I went and grabbed it. I picked it up and it was a blank paper. Maybe. I flipped it over and there was small, but readable hand writing. It was the same the same writen about thirty times.

I can't feel this way!
I can't feel this way!
I can't feel this way!
I can't feel this way!
I can't feel this way!

That, but about thirty more times over and over and over and over again. What does that mean? Okay. I won't think a lot about it now. I went to my desk and put it an empty draw. No, it was really empty. I left it that way. I don't know why.

I eventually gathered all my things and left the school.

Betty's POV

4) You can't save anything if you date someone your not aloud to.

5) Nobody can fucking know. You may loose some friends along the way, but if it's someone you'll love for life, it's fine right?

6) You can't sneak off in the middle of class like any other normal couple would do. Besides you wouldn't be a normal couple.

7) Secrets and lies would be a new part of your life.

8) You'd grow away from everyone. (This is a rule really close to rule number five)

9) It's basically cheating on life. (If you understand that.)

10) You may or may not be worried about your partner all the damn time.

Even more stupid reasons on why I can't do shit. Yea, most of those don't even make sense, but to me they do. That's probably because I'm the one saying them and thinking them.

Okay, all I'm thinking about is everything that went down in the English classroom. Ugh! It's her I can't get her beautiful face out of my head. Did I just say beautiful face? Oh dear god.

I went to Pop's after school. I didn't order anything I just wanted to clear my head. "Hey Betty!" I heard a man say. I looked up and saw Pop. "Hey Pop!" I said. "Are you sure your not hungry you seem pretty... I don't know... like you haven't eaten all day." He said. "Cause I haven't." I told him. "Oh come on let me make you something." He said. I shrugged and put my hands up in defeat. "Alright you win this time. You know what I get." I said. "Yep!" He said happily and walked off. I told him a few times that I wasn't hungry when I really was. I just now finally gave in.

When I got home my mom was sitting in the living. "Betty!" She said and stood up. "It's okay mom. I was only at Pop's." I told her. "No, it's not that." I walked more into the living room and found people. People I didn't know. I also saw Polly. "Let me guess people from the cult?"

(I know this isn't how it went, but I don't care)

"It's not a cult, Betty." Polly said. I sighed. "Okay. Whatever. Don't bother me." I said and started walking to my room. "Betty, stop!" My mom said. I turned and looked at her. "Yes, mom?" She sighed. "I'm joining the farm." She said. I sighed. "You know what, mom? I don't care anymore. You've completely ignored me about them and I'm busy worrying about my own life right now." I said and walked upto my room. I laued on my bed and sighed.

Not to long after I did this there was a knock at my open door. "Go away." I said. "Betty. It's Polly." I still didn't look at her. "Okay? Go away." She sat next to me. "What are you doing?" I asked. "I'm here to talk." "Yea, well I don't wanna talk to you. Please leave." "Betty, I'm just wanting to sa--" "I said leave, Polly!" I sorta yelled. She jumped up. She didn't say anything she just quickly walked out. I walked over to my door and shut and locked it.

A few hours later I got an idea. I lokekd at my phone. It was 9:45. I opened my window and carefully climbed out of the window and carefully got off the ledge thing outside of my window.

I walked all the way to the school. I know it's late, but I hope this works. I knew the front school doors would be locked, but I tried them anyways. They were opened. I walked inside kinda shocked that they were opened. I then realized the janitors were still here. I remembered this because I saw one down the hallway. I quickly hid. Shit! This'll be fun.

I made my way to the English classroom. It was locked. Great. I pulled a bobby pin out of my hair and unlocked the door. That was very easy.

I walked over to the desk and sat down in the chair. I quickly looked for a paper and a pen. I found a notecard. I hope I don't regret this. I wrote my phone number on it with nothing else. Not even my initials. Let's hope she knows it was me. I put the pen and notecard back on the desk. I really hope I don't regret this.

I left the classroom. I was going to look it, but I heard something down the hallway. I just shut the door and ran. I ran halfway to my house. I walked the rest of the way. Let's also hope my mom didn't know I left.
