Teacher's Pet

Chapter 8

I drop my books, and everyone turns to us, including the teacher. He looks as awestruck as I and I see Mandy picking up the books frantically. Man... he is beautiful! I can't stop staring at him, I'm frozen in place. He blinks a few times before scowling and striding across the class to us.
"What makes you think you can just disrupt the class like that?" he yells. I open my mouth to speak but no words come out.
"I'm so sorry Mr. Horan, she's new here, she's from Sweden" Mandy tries explaining while handing me my books. I take them before coming back to reality and start to apologise.
"Just go to your seats, girls. I don't want any more noise from you two, you understand?" he snaps.
I lower my head and follow Mandy to the back of the room. When I sit down I look up to see him staring at me. I open my book and write the date when I hear him announce,
"Because it's the first day of school, we'll start easy with algebra to refresh your minds then we'll start with calculus next week."
I find myself watching Mr Horan's every move, from the way his biceps bulge when he writes on the board to the way his brows scrunch when he yells at someone. I find it hard to focus when I get lost in my thoughts when I hear his strong, deep Irish accent. Only he could make algebra sound hot! I'm snapped out of my thoughts when the bell rings. I gather my things together and walk with Mandy out the door when I hear Mr Horan say my name. I turn around and walk to his desk, terrified.
"I just wanted to say welcome to my class. I hope you have a good year. Now go to recess."
"Thank you Mr Horan, math is my favourite subject" I lie through my teeth, smiling.
I turn and walk to Mandy who is standing at the door waiting. We speed walk out of range of the class before we squeal and I gush about how hot our teacher is.
"What went on in there? He's never been that nice to anyone before! And did you see the way he stared at you when you walked in? I think Mr Horan has the hots for a student!" Mandy teases and I can't help but blush.

I get home and run to my room, shutting the door. I turn on my dock and start dancing around my room like a mad woman. I turn around and see mor laughing in my doorway before closing the door and leaving. I run out, embarrassed and think of how to control my anger but the minute I see her standing in the kitchen I just jump on the counter and jabber on about my hot new teacher and new friend. Mor soon crushes my happiness by saying,
"Just be careful, Hannah, you know what can happen if you get involved with your teacher"
