New Teacher, New Couple 2
Orry for the wait. School started last Tuesday and homework has been a mess. 8th grade is as hard as I thought it would be.. ugh.. But the Brightside is that I actually do have a handsome teacher. And he is also presented in this story! :) And I just got back from a day of long, long errands with my mom so I had free-time, finally. Here you go! :)
Jacob had kissed me right there on the spot. I had no idea how it happened, but I'm kind of surprised. One thing's for sure, he took my breath away. I opened my mouth to say something, but no words came out. He put his head in his hands. "Sorry Emma," he said to me. "I didn't mean to…I..I.." he stammered.
My face felt hot. "It's okay.." I finally spoke, not looking at him though. "No really.. I didn't know what I was doing.." he said. I kept telling him it was okay but I felt the urge to kiss him again. I only needed something to get me out of this embarrassing moment. And as if on cue, my four stupid friends burst through the door. "What the hell guys!?" Mallory shouted. I froze. Did they really see us?.. I wondered to myself. I'm pretty sure Jacob was thinking the same thing.
"Unbelievable!" Chris added. "I left the room and told you don't do anything while I'm gone!" Karen turned to her. "Chris you are a terrible babysitter.." Melissa snickered before asking. "Yu guys didn't notice that the windows were open?" she pointed behind us.
I felt my heart stop, they really did see us. I looked over to Jacob who was laughing awkwardly. "Well, I think it's time to go to Red Fountain." He said. Chris waved her arms as a portal opened and he quickly stepped through. "Look, all I want to know is what were you guys up to?" Mallory stood closer to me. The girls followed behind her after closing the door. I let out a sigh. "Honestly, guys, I don't know. We were just talking and then he kissed me. That's it." I told them.
"Are you sure that's all that happened?" Mallory asked. I knit my brows. "Of course, why would I lie to you guys?" I wondered. "I don't know. I just thought that when someone is that handsome you might've wanted him all to yourself. I know I would.." she explained, a smirk slid on her face as she threw her bag over her shoulder.
"Wha..You're dating my brother!" Karen added. Mallory snickered. "True, but hey." She laughed. Melissa shook her head. "What are we gonna do with you?" she asked us. Chris, Karen and I giggled. I saw Chris dig in her pocket for her cell phone and dial a number. "Hey guys, let's say happy birthday to Tommy. I promised I would call him." She said, putting her phone on speaker. Karen cooed. "Yay, Tommy is three today…" she giggled.
Answering the phone, Blair said, "Hey little sis.." Chris smiled. "Sup big sis, the girls and I want to say happy birthday to Tommy."
"Oh hold on then." She said, then there was a lot of muffled noises. We all exchanged looks, wondering what she was doing until the door opened and a little boy came running through. "Auntie! Auntie! Auntie!" he yelled, clinging himself to Chris's legs.
The girls and I laughed as Blaire walked through the door. "You brought him with you?" Mallory asked her. "He begged me actually. He was so sad that Chris didn't say Happy Birthday to him this morning." She explained. Chris lifted her leg. "Happy birthday Tommy." She said to him, he giggled his cute laugh.
"Tommy, how old are you?" I bent down to him. He put up three of his small fingers. "Three!" he yelled out. The girls and I laughed, he was so freakin' cute! "So did you see Jacob this morning?" Blaire asked us. "Boy did we.." Mallory said as she grabbed the boy from Chris's leg and played with him on her side. Blaire looked puzzled. "Huh?" she said.
"We'll tell you about it later." Chris told her. "Right now, you need to know that we have a new substitute teacher." She added. Blaire sat down. "Really who?" she asked.
"We don't know his name but he is so cute." Karen sat next to her. Blaire laughed at us. "You guys are so silly. The man is probably much older than you guys." She said. The doors of our dorm soon opened to Miss Faragonda. The woman walking in with a smile on her face and a tall man behind him.
"Hello girls, nice to have you all back." She said. "Good to be back Miss Faragonda." Melissa smiled back at her.
"What brings you here headmistress?" I asked. The woman moved aside to show the tall, handsome, man behind her. "This is Professor Delancy. He will be covering for Professor WizGiz for the week." She explained to us. "He wanted to speak to you girls personally."
"Why?" Karen asked him. "Well I heard about you all and the Book of Life and I just wanted to meet you guys in person." Said Professor Delancy. The girls and I exchanged excited looks, while I noticed Blaire crossed her arms.
"Good, I'll be in my office. And I will see all of you bright and early tomorrow morning." Said Faragonda as she exited. "Bye bye!" Tommy called after her. As soon as the door closed, Professor Delancy took a seat. "Scott Delancy." Said Blaire. Professor looked at her, confused. "Scott Delancy, it's me. Blaire." She said flatly, her voice was a near steel tone. It made me wonder what got her mood so low.
Professor Delancy stood with a smile and hugged Chris's sister, but she didn't hug back. Her arms were still folded. "Blaire how are you?" he asked her, she didn't reply. He chuckled a bit. "Still don't want to talk to me huh?" he asked her, she didn't reply. He cleared his throat and began walking towards the door.
"Sorry girls, but it seems that I have to get ready for class tomorrow.." he said. "But weren't you gonna ask us questions?.." Chris called after him. "Maybe tomorrow. Good day." He said, letting the door shut behind him. Chris turned to her sister.
"Dude, what was that all about?" she asked her. Blaire sighed. "It's nothing.." she said plainly. "That was not nothing. Why haven't you been talking to him?" Karen asked.
"I said it was nothing." Blaire said, standing up from her seat. "Come on Tommy, it's time to go." She said, picking up her son and making her way towards the door. Chris followed behind her. "Blaire and Professor Delancy…" Mallory murmured. "To me it looks like they used to be a couple." She said.
"Come on Mal, we can't get into other people's business. Plus, she said it was nothing so we should just take her word for it." Melissa told her. "Woah, wait." I spoke. "We can't get into other people's business? Where was that sentence when Jacob and I kissed!?" I asked them. "It was different for you at the time." Karen said, resting her hand on my shoulder. I frowned to keep from laughing. "Seriously."
"Well I think we should all unpack before something else happens." Chris said, grabbing her bag from the floor. "Yeah, something else she doesn't want to miss." Karen giggled, following her. "Guys, when I older and have kids, remind me never to leave them with the babysitter." She pointed at Chris, laughs bursting through her lips.
"Shut up Karen." Chris snickered back at her.
