On Monday morning Kendell woke up with an excited feeling in her stomach.
She got ready for school paying attention to every little detail of how she
looked. Kendell knew her crush on Mr. Senate was silly and immature, but
she couldn't help herself. She had never felt this way about anyone before,
including some ex boyfriends, and Kendell liked it. She was incredibly
nervous though, she had to pretend like none of her feelings even existed.
Everything had to go on like normal.
Later at school Kendell was chatting with Lori at their lockers when over the loudspeaker she heard, "Kendell Bradford please report the principal's office, Kendell Bradford."
Kendell looked at Lori curiously. "What is that all about?"
"Ken what did you do?"
"I didn't do anything. I wonder what it could be? Well I better go, see you at lunch, okay."
"Good luck!"
Kendell walked into the office and smiled warmly at Louisa. Louisa smiled back and said, "Don't worry Kendell you are not in trouble."
"Phew, I was getting really worried there."
"Good morning Miss Bradford," Steven Harper said as he walked out of his office. "This is Colleen Nielson." Standing next to Principal Harper was a pretty, short, scared looking, blonde haired girl. "Colleen is joining us from Florida and she is a freshman. I was wondering if you would be so kind as to show her around and help her get to her classes for the next couple of days?"
"Oh that's no problem, I would love to."
Outside the office Kendell introduced herself to Colleen and started going over her schedule with her. Colleen livened up as they made some small talk and she seemed very nice. She was your typical freshman, very bubbly and hyper. Kendell didn't mind though. She was use to having the underclassman look up to her. In fact, she was use to everyone looking up to her, but she never showed it. She was excited to be an almost mentor for this girl. She wanted to help her in anyway possible.
"Okay so your first class is with Ms. Davis in room 2514. She is really nice, but can be challenging at times. You look very nervous, do you have any questions or concerns?"
"Oh no I'm okay." Colleen answered. "It's just first day jitters. So are you a senior? I mean you look so mature."
Kendell blushed. "Yeah I'm a senior and eighteen years old."
Colleen giggled a little bit. "So do you have a boyfriend. You just seem really cool, so I bet you are dating like the hottest guy? Oh my god could you set me up with some cute seniors?"
"Whoa, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. No I do not have a boyfriend. And I really do not think that you should be getting involved with senior boys since you are only what 14, 15?"
"I'm turning 15 in a couple of months. But I guess you're right. Whoa who is that!"
"Who?"
"That teacher, he's walking towards us. Oh my gosh he is so hot!"
As she said this, Mr. Senate approached the two girls smiling.
"Hey Kendell. Did you have a nice weekend?" He smirked, referring to their encounter.
Kendell laughed, "Yes I did, thank you. Oh this is Colleen Nielson, she's a transfer student. She' s actually one of your new students."
"Oh well I look forward to seeing you in class."
Colleen blushed as she said hi.
"Kendell do you want to stop by my classroom during lunch? I am almost done with your recommendation and I thought you might want to take a look at it."
"Lunch? Geez you had to pick my only free period didn't ya?"
"Hey I could just accidently misplace that recommendation. But seriously come in 4th hour, I tell you what, I will even buy you lunch."
"You got a deal, see you later."
Harry smiled as he walked away from the two girls. He felt almost consumed with a happy feeling, but disregarded it as nothing of importance.
Kendell sighed to herself as she watched his figure disappear from sight. She had been so close to saying, "Alright it's a date." She was excited, but nervous. Why am I doing this to myself? She thought. Am I just setting myself for disappointment? Her thoughts were quickly interrupted by Colleen though.
"Oh my god! He is a teacher. He is so gorgeous. You seem really close to him. Did you have him as a teacher? What is he like?"
"Wow you sure are vivacious. Yeah I had him as a teacher last year and he was the best teacher. I learned a lot from him. He really cares about his students."
"So how come you are so close with him?"
"I dunno, I mean I never really thought about it."
The first bell suddenly rang and the girl's discussion ceased. Kendell walked Colleen to her first couple classes and began to really like Colleen. She'll be really happy here, she thought. As Kendell sat through her classes she couldn't stop thinking of her meeting with Mr. Senate. She was so nervous, and before she knew it 4th period had already approached.
Kendell quickly walked down the steps to Harry Senate's classroom. As she approached his door, she noticed his slim figure at his desk. He was so perfect, grading papers, full of concentration.
Kendell opened the door slowly and walked in. Harry looked up at her and smiled.
"Hey Ken, you hungry?"
I hope you all enjoyed the new chapter, and don't worry there is more to come. And if you have any suggestions please feel free to write a review. Thanks!
