-Bing, bing, bing-
The ringing of the bell, the end of a long day. Jay stretched at her desk as she closed her binder.
" Aight, Kiddos. Pack it up. Don't forget that your photography project is due Monday."
Once the students left for car line and busses, she sat in her desk chair and slumped over. Her desk was a disaster. Papers, paintings and colored pencils were scattered everywhere. She sat up and started to organize her papers by class. Jay muttered under her breath.
"Julie, 1st. Zack, 3rd. Tori...Tori...4th. Eli..3rd."
There was a knock at her door. Her head shot up and she quickly composed herself.
"Come in!"
A familiar voice echoed from the door to her desk on the other side of the room.
"Miss. Winters?" The brit asked.
"M-mr. McCarthy? Wh-what are you doing here?" She shook the worried thoughts from her head.
He was just a colleague and from a Physics class nonetheless.
"Miss. Winters, I was wondering if you needed help. I know you complained about your students making a mess in your 2nd class."
He rubbed the back of his neck. His cheek and nose gaining a redder color. Jay chuckled slightly.
"Oh, Theo. Thank you really. I'll do it myself. I have to stay late anyways." The taller man tilted his head to the side.
"Why is that?" She looked around the room. The floor was a mess, Wet paint brushes were laid on the table, scraps of paper and pencil shavings were scattered around. Her desk needed organizing.
"Theo, if you don't have to help me." He smiled genuinely. "I want to."
Jay felt her ears heat up. She quickly covered them and walked to the other side of the classroom. She pointed to a desk and told Theo to get the paint brushes. She started washing the brushes that were placed in the sink so, they'd be ready for Monday. Theo would bring her the brushes and shed thank him. Their hands brushed slightly and Jay yanked her hand away. Theo watched her as she stared at his hand.
"S-sorry." Theo chuckled, face flushing once more. Jay snapped at sweet Theo a few times but only when they touched or someone walked by.
