Chapter 11: Smackdown, Spinelli Style

I smiled at Spinelli.

Me: Someone who stands up for her beliefs. I like that. I won't fight you. Wouldn't want anyone to get hurt, would we?

The bell rung. The kids ran past us. I waltzed up the stairs. I entered the school that would be my home for 6 months. We walked to our classroom.

Vaughn, being a gentleman, opened the door for me. I nodded a thanks and walked in. The children stared at me.

TJ: Hey, guys.

I walked to the front with Vaughn.

Me: Hello, Class. I am your substitute teacher Ms. Derevko. This guy is my partner, Mr. Graham. We will be substituting for the next 6 months.

Vaughn laughed.

Vaughn: You better get used to us.

A kid in green clothes with a militial buzz cut raised his hand.

Buzz-Kid: How do you say your last name?

I smiled.

Me: You start out with Dere. Like "over dere". Say it, children!

Children: Dere.

Me; Next you say Rev. Like revving a motorcycle. Say it!

Children: Rev.

Me: Last of all, you say Ko. Put the words together now!

Children: Dere-rev-ko.

I beamed.

Me: Good job, Class!

I paused.

Me: My last name is Russian.

Buzz-Kid: Okay.

I brightened up.

Me: Okay, I want all of you to tell me your names and etc.

Class: Okay.

I glared at Vaughn.

Me: You know that you're not a silent partner.

Vaughn: Well, you weren't helping and you seemed totally in your element...And, Hey! Why am I being nice to you. Did I just forget what you said to me two nights ago? What happened to "Je desirent cela te noyai aux la eau de la rouge pelote!"?

I glared at him.

Me: There are young, impressionable children here! Don't you dare talk to me like that! I wish we never met!

Vaughn's eyes shimmered with anger.

Vaughn: Don't you go turn this around on me! Why do you even have the right to be mad at me, Miss He's soo irresistible?

I raised my voice higher.

Me: YOU THREW my BEST FRIEND out of the window of a CARGO PLANE, and I'M SUPPOSED to be OKAY with THAT?

Vaughn: For CRYING OUT LOUD, he KISSED your MOM! He WOULD HAVE KISSED you! WHAT was I SUPPOSED to DO? If I didn't do it, YOUR DAD WOULD HAVE!

Me: YOU, SARK, MOM, DAD! WHY does EVERYBODY HATE Will?

Vaughn: MAYBE it's because HE got HIMSELF KIDNAPPED 2 times! And BOTH times, WE HAD to SAVE his PATHETIC BUTT times! And the ONLY REASON we did IT was so YOU WOULDN'T BE HURT AGAIN! WE LOVE YOU, YOU IDIOT!

I was shell-shocked. Had Vaughn just admitted that he loved me?
