The English Teacher

Part Twenty-five

Betty's POV

I was walking down the hallways to get to the English classroom when Cheryl and Toni stopped me. "Betty." Cheryl said. "Cheryl. Toni. Do you need something?" I asked looking back and forth between the two. "Once again you weren't home last night for dinner." Cheryl said. "So?" I asked. "Where were you?" She asked. "I was out." I said. "All night?" Toni asked. "Well yes." "Doing what?" "That's personal business." Cheryl scoffed. "I doubt it was that personal." She muttered. I rolled my eyes. "Whatever. Can I go now?" I asked. "Go where?" Toni asked. "I was just going to the English room to ask her a question." I told them. "Ask her what?" Toni asked. "Just something about homework." "Well you should come home with us after." Cheryl said. "It's fine I can get there myself." I told them. "No, come on." Cheryl said. "Well I have to talk to the teacher." I said. "Fine we'll wait." Toni said. "No, guys go." I said. "No we insist." "Just go!" I was so close to yelling, but I didn't. They both took a few steps back. "Fine." Cheryl said. "You can walk home." She said and they walked off. "Great." I said.

I looked over and noticed I was standing right outside of the English classroom. I saw Veronica standing there looking at me. "I'll call you later." I said loud enough for her to hear me then I walked off. "Betty." I heard a quiet voice say behind me, but I ignored it.

I actually had to walk home. When I got inside both Cheryl and Toni weren't there. I just walked upstairs and to my room. Nope! They're here! In their room! I quickly walked back to my room trying to ignore the sounds coming from the room next door.

After about an hour or two I went down into the kitchen to get something light to eat. As I walked I into the kitchen I saw Cheryl and Toni. Dear god! They both looked at me and smiled. "Hey Betty when did you get here?" Toni asked. "Uh about an hour ago I guess." I said. "Oh uhh sorry if we were loud." Toni said. "Yea it's... fine." I said. Just then my phone started buzzing over and over and over again. I looked at it. It had Veronica's name on the screen. "I gotta take this I'll be right back." I said walking off. I went upstairs to my room shutting the door.

"Hello." I said.

"Hey I'm sorry. I know you said you'd call me, but I was just wondering what had happened earlier." She said.

"No, it's fine. It was just a little arguement with my friends." I said.

"Well it didn't seem so little, Betty." She said. I sighed.

"It was nothing I promise." I said.

"Okay. Well what are you doing?" She asked.

"Nothing. Just sitting it my room doing nothing. How about you?" I asked.

"Well I'm asking you to come over if you can."

"And do what?" I asked.

"Whatever you want." I smiled and bit my lower lip a little.

"Oh!" I could tell she was smiling too.
"When should I be over?" I asked.

"I mean you could come over right now."

"Absolutely." I said.

Then there was a knock at my door. "Hang on." I said and went to open the door. When I did I saw Cheryl standing there. "Yes?" I asked. "You left the kitchen so fast I thought something was up." She said. "No, nothings up." I said. "Besides I'm going right now anyways." I said starting to walk by her. "Wait your leaving?" She asked. I nodded and just kept walking. "Yep! Don't ask if I'll be home cause I don't know!" I said and left.

Sorry this is so short.
