Ava's POV ******************

"Ddaaammm!" Kim says as we all stop dead in our tracks with our mouths gaping at the sight in front of us. Mr. Grey, Lachlan, is putting his crisp, clean, white shirt on over his muscular arms leaving his abs on display as he stands beside his red truck. "Wow!" Suzanne adds at a whisper as she is also pleasantly surprised. I'm frozen in place, my mouth open, my eyes are bugging out of my head, wide open! I reluctantly pull myself out of my trance as he buttons his shirt smirking at us drooling over him. Embarrassment hits me hard!. My face and neck are getting warmer, I'm sure I appear flushed.

I grab Suzanne's hand with my right hand and I grab Kim's with my left and drag them away from this man that looks like he is carved out of cream cheese he's so perfect. Suzanne huffs in disappointment as I drag her away, Kim is giggling and says " Did you see that?"! Like I could have looked away if I wanted to; but, I didn't say that. "Yea, the hottest guy I have ever seen caught us all looking at him like fish out of water!" Suzanne laughs at my distress saying"Ava you wouldn't know what to do with him if you had him!" laughing her fill-the-room loud laugh. I huff in frustration as I continue to drag them to our lockers ignoring her comment. the only comeback I could think of was "So", because we all know she is right; so I kept my mouth shut in hopes they stop talking about this all together.

Who am I kidding; they will tell everyone as soon as we get in homeroom all about seeing Mr.Grey shirtless. Suzanne will include my distress in her version of the story just to add to my embarrassment. She loves to be the center of attention and believe me she knows how to get attention if she wants it. She can have a tantrum better than anyone , ever! Kim will a be witness to the spectacle adding her own juice bits. Everyone, including the teacher will listen fully immersed in the new gossip about Mr. Grey's shirtless body. Because I was included in the story by the end of the day who knows what the story will be. Gossip is what small town people live for. Great just great! Now I will have to deny all the false accusations I will hear until more juicy gossip comes out.

Homeroom was exactly like I knew it would be. I sat doodling in my notebook with my head down in embarrassment as Kim and Suzanne had everyone enthralled in their exaggerated version of events. Gasps, ooohh's and Aww's were heard as everyone soaked up every juicy bit. My face, neck, and ears were red like a strawberry the entire time. Luckily homeroom is 15 minutes. I rushed out at the sound of the bell as I hear the whispers of the latest hot topic; Mr. Grey shirtless in the parking lot.

I'm on my way to English 4, Mrs. Shimmers' class still listening to the gossip as I quickly swerve left and right hurriedly trying to ignore the more fabricated stories. "I heard he took his shirt off for Suzanne and Kim in a threesome!" UHA! I groan hearing the made up gossip."Did you hear? Suzanne Kim and Mr. Grey were caught making out in the parking lot!" I run my fingers through my long golden straight hair messing it up a bit. I wonder how many rumors include me and how bad are they? I don't want any lies to get back to Granny, I will tell her the truth when I get home. I do not lie to my Granny.

I walk at a fast pace in class, sliding into my desk and I feel eyes on me. I get my book out, ignoring the feeling in hopes they will look away. No-such-luck! I run my fingers through my hair nervously as my long hair spills around my face and shoulders. Just put on your big girl panties and look; I think to myself and I face my fear. I turn right slightly in my desk peering out of the corner of my eye and see Dean looking at me with a look that leaves me confused as I squint my eyes and furrow my forehead. Dean is looking at me like he is hungry? Lunch is after class so he probably daydreaming about his lunch. He just looks like he's looking at me. I look behind me to see if there's something interesting but, nothing but an Odyssey poster that's been there for years. Dean is sitting completely still with that hungry expression on his face. I squirm in my desk in discomfort and nervously bite my bottom lip. Dean's eyes seem darker and he clutches his desk harder. I find myself unable to look away from his hungry eyes. I lick my full lips slowly and nibble on my bottom lip in distress as Dean growls, wait what? He squirms in his desk and his hand shoots up, his eyes did not leave mine.
