Addicted To You

chapter 1

" Hi Sarah, good morning" said my best friend Becca as soon as she saw me entering the school. She was standing at the gate chatting with some friends. I replied" Good morning sweety " and hugged her. I am Sarah Wilson and I am 17 years old. I am in my final year in high school and I will be graduating this year before moving onto university. I don't have many friends as I have a habit of beating others if they try to mess with me. So most of them stays away from me. That really doesn't bother me. I am very good in studies especially in maths and English. Becca Stone is my best friend.
We are in the same section and we sit beside each other. She is also a good student and she is such a nice girl, always helps me and stands by me. I am so lucky to have a friend like her.
" Have you heard about the new maths teacher who will be joining today in place of Mrs Jones? "
Mrs Jones was our maths teacher. The old lady retired last week and instead of her the new maths teacher will be coming. I do miss Mrs Jones. Though she was a very strict teacher as most maths teachers are but she was good at heart. Anyways let's see who the new maths teacher is. I walked to the locker and checked my timetable. The first period I have English with Mr Roberts. He is a nice man. A middle aged man with an excellent knowledge of English literature. The class went by and next period I have history and then biology. Biology class went well and the bell rang for lunch break. All the students rushed out of the class including me.
We went to the canteen and started having our lunch. I ate sandwich and Pepsi. Becca was having noodles and orange juice. We were gossiping as the bell rang. Now we have physics class. In this class we were punished for talking during class. The teacher threw me and Becca out of the class. The second last period we had English again.
Finally in the last period we have maths class. I entered the class and sat in the first bench with Becca as usual. The whole class was excited about the new maths teacher. We were talking about the new movie which was going to be released next week.
Suddenly everything went silent. A man walked into the classroom and stood in front of the teacher's desk. He was in a navy blue full sleeve shirt and black jeans. He was neither too hot nor bad looking. He had nicely shaved cheeks and very beautiful lips and eyes. He said" good afternoon class"  as he ran his hands through his well combed black hair. His well toned muscles and abs could be understood clearly from outside the shirt. All the girls in the class were staring at him open mouthed. " I am Mr Jason wills, your new maths teacher. Today let's get to know each other. At first if anyone has any questions for me they may ask." Many students raised their hands. He pointed his fingers towards Lucy who also raised her hands." How old are you?" She asked. He answered quite unwillingly " 24". After Lucy sat down Anne, the naughtiest girl in the class asked, " are you single?". He answered "yes, I am." " well, now its my turn to know you." By saying this he pointed his fingers towards me and asked" you, what is your name?"
I stood up and replied" Sarah Wilson."
"So, Sarah what is your favorite subject?"
"English"
"You don't like maths Sarah? Your class teacher told me that you have got a sharp brain for maths."
"I didn't say that I don't like maths. I like maths Mr Wills. You asked me my favorite subject and that is English."
"Alright, thank you Sarah, you may sit down."
After that he asked a few more questions to a few more students before the bell rang. The students rushed out of the classroom but I stayed back because I had a few questions regarding maths. I went to his desk and asked" sir I couldn't solve these maths problems, can you help me with it."
"Of course dear, I will definitely help you." He smiled and took the pen and copy from me. He looked at the questions and then solved the sums and explained me the solutions.
"Thank you sir."
"No worries". I smiled and left the classroom. As I was leaving I heard the sound of something falling down. I turned back to the class and saw some books and pen scattered on the floor and Mr Wills standing there looking awkward.
I asked "What is this? Are you alright sir?"
" shit" he muttered.
" Yeah I am alright. These slipped from my hands as I stumbled across the table.
I helped him to pick the books. Our hands touched for a moment. I felt something but I can't explain exactly how it was.
"Thank you Sarah. You are already late, shall I drop you home?"
"Thanks but no need Mr Wills, I often stay after school as I study in the library, so don't worry." I smiled and replied quickly.
"So goodbye Sarah, see you tomorrow."
" Goodbye Mr Wills".
I walked towards our apartment which was not very far from school. I reached there and took out my keys and unlocked the door. As soon as I stepped in I heard Asli saying, " hey Sarah you are back, how was school"?
" Yep I am back sis school was fine, let's go to the movies tonight. "
" OK , Sarah as you wish."
Asli is my elder sister. Our home is in Spain. Three years ago we moved in here at London from Spain because Asli got a job at a big company here. I also came here with her and got admitted to a reputed school. Mom and dad are still in Spain. Asli is engaged to Mr Alex Evans , her colleague and they will get married next month. From then onwards I will have to live here alone in this apartment. That doesn't bother me because Mr Evans lives somewhere nearby so I can meet her very often.
I flipped down on the couch with my earplugs on. I was listening to a Bengali song. Yes a Bengali song. I do listen to Bengali songs although I don't understand everything they say. I have learnt a few Bengali words from YouTube. I ate chocolate biscuits as the song by Anupam Roy continued.....
" Jodi kono din tumi du haat die jhinuk korao, nei Ami sei alpo bhanga golpo guloe , kar sathe bolo shobdo chure phirbo bari majhraate, Ami tomar kotha bolbo kake??"(I will not be there to listen to your tiny broken tales when one day you start picking up oyster shells with both your hands. Whom will I throw these words at when I return home at midnight? To whom will I talk about you?)
I don't know when I fell asleep. I was woken up by the sound of TV. Asli was watching " no strings attached" . I woke up and yawned." What time is it"?
" hey sleepy heady you are awake, it's 5pm"
" let's go to the movies" I said
" alright Sarah get ready then."
" Yeah"I smiled........
