AJ's p.o.v.
Finally! The school is over. Getting out of my last class, I start to walk home with my headphones in. I hear someone calling my name. Unless my imagination is playing tricks on me.
I turn to my left to see my English teacher in a gold Honda.
Uh oh. Keep cool, AJ. You got this!
"Hey, AJ". She says nicely.
"H-Hi ". Yeah. Not a great start.
"Sweetie, you can call me Paige".
"What's up?". I asked.
"Would you like a ride home? I notice you're walking".
"Sure". I shrugged.
Paige unlocked the door and I got in. "Nice car". I complimented.
"Thanks".
The short car ride was silent. It was kind of awkward. But also sort of comfortable.
"Where's your house?". Paige asked.
"Make a right at the stop sign. My house is at the end of the block".
"Right here?".
"Yeah. Thanks for the ride. See you tomorrow, Paige". I smiled at her and got out of the car.
"No problem. See you tomorrow, AJ". She winked at me. I wrote down my cell number on a piece of paper. "Here. In case of anything". I handed her the small piece of paper. "Thanks, honey". She says smiling at me.
WAIT. She winked at me! So I guess I have brownie points, or something.
I see my parents watching TV on the couch. Lord help me.
Clearing my throat I said, "Mom. Dad. I need to tell you something".
My dad put the TV on mute. "What's on your mind?". He asks.
"Is someone bothering you at school?". My mom asks.
"No! It's...I'malesbianandI'msorry". I said quickly and I covered my mouth.
"There's no problem with that! You like girls rather than guys. I love you anyway". My dad said. He got up and hugged me.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Though me and your father have contemplated on betting on it". My mom joked.
I laughed. "Thanks, mom". I said sarcastically. My mom hugged me too. "You're still our daughter and it doesn't change how we looked at you, since birth". I hugged both my parents back. "And I kind of have a small-ish crush on my new English teacher".
"Is she hot?". My dad asking the obvious question.
I grinned at the thought of her. "Oh yeah!".
"That's nice. What happened to your old English teacher, ?". My mom asks.
"He got fired. He was doing something that he wasn't supposed to be doing with his students. Rumor has it, I got a couple students pregnant and has to pay child support. Another rumor is he won't be a father to his children. They never went into details though".
My dad shook his head in disgust.
"That's so disgusting!". My mom snarled.
"Yeah, I know. This English teacher though...I already have a pick up line".
"Oh, yeah? Tell me". My dad says.
"Hey, baby girl. Let me show you why they call me Tristian Lee". Which is my dad's name.
My parents laughed.
Paige's p.o.v.
Walking into my room, I see my ex girlfriend still packing her things out of what used to be, our place.
"Don't worry. I'm leaving. Just picking up the remaining of my things". Sarah said.
"Good". I said coldly.
She had a box in her hands. "Can we at least be just friends. Or...Friends with benefits?". She asks timidly.
I glared at her angrily. "Get out!". I yelled.
I opened the door for her and closed the door.
I sighed sadly
Looking at AJ's cell number. I decided to text her.
from Paige: Hey, AJ. It's Paige. Got time to talk? x
From AJ: Yeah, whassup? :p
From Paige: I need to talk to you about something tomorrow. Don't worry. You're not in trouble.
