Monday afternoon Amanda walked into Mr.Senate's class for her first class
of the day, she had cut all her other blocks so she could catch up on some
lost sleep from the weekend. Saturday night, her, Karen, Miranda, Tyler
and Andy went to a rave and didn't get back til Sunday afternoon which gave
Amanda another unwanted round of questions and she could tell Scott was a
little more than pissed over her leaving.
Amanda sat in her desk and looked over to Karen and Miranda's empty desks, she wasn't surprised. Sighing she sat back and waited for the bell to ring. She was in a staring trance out the window when someone tapping her on the shoulder broke her attention. Turning she looked to see Tyler sitting in the desk next to her.
"Hey,"said Amanda.
"Hey surprised to see you here,"said Tyler,"Thought you woulda bunked the day."
"Nah I'm just here cause I told my dad I was only cutting first block,"said Amanda.
"So Saturday was nuts,"said Tyler.
"Hell yeah, I got home and I almost passed out on the front steps,"said Amanda.
"Well you danced for close to twelve hours, I'm surprised you didn't pass out on the floor,"said Tyler.
"What? What's up?"asked Marty turning around. Amanda sighed as Marty butted into the conversation, Tyler just snickered at her reaction.
"Nothing, just a rave,"said Amanda bitterly.
"Cool, cool,"said Marty,"I went to Summer Love this year."
"Marty everyone went to Summer Love,"said Tyler.
"Well I went,"said Marty,"So what else went on this weekend?"
"This, that and the other thing. What did you do this weekend Marty?"asked Amanda.
"Stuff,"muttered Marty just before the bell rang.
"Cool, maybe I'll bring ya to Sixty Niner next time I go,"said Amanda.
"Really?"asked Marty excitedly.
"You go to Sixty Niner?"asked Tyler.
"Yeah, it's dope. I was there on Friday,"said Amanda.
"Okay sorry folks to break up your important, life altering meetings of weekend events but we have to get on with this small thing called learning,"said Harry walking into the room. The class quieted down as Harry started taking attendance. Amanda was whispering to Marty about making plans to go out clubbing sometime, she had admit she did feel bad for Marty, he was an okay looking guy but everyone gave him a rough time. Over the week Amanda had been at Winslow she noticed Marty didn't have many friends and given the chance coulda been a cool guy, he just wanted to get out there and be included.
"AJ, do you have any idea where Karen and Miranda are?"asked Harry. Amanda looked up from her conversation with Marty.
"I'm guessing at home in bed,"said Amanda.
"And you're not in the same place?"asked Harry.
"Where? In bed?"asked Amanda.
"Hey Mr.Senate, don't be thinking about AJ in bed,"said Tyler snickering as the class had a hushed laughed over the comment.
"Sorry Tyler, I don't have the dirty mind you do,"said Harry sharply,"But with the way she's taking to Marty I think all your getting is thinking about her."
"Oh burned by the teacher,"said Amanda laughing along with the class,"Dude you got dissed." Tyler grumbled and sat back in his desk. The class went on quietly and smoothly for a Monday, at the end with only a few minutes left everyone just went back to their groups talking.
"So I can really come with you to Sixty Niner?"asked Marty.
"Sure, there or Runaway. Wherever we decide to go,"said Amanda shrugging.
"What now in love with Marty?"asked Tyler.
"No, but he can come. Kid might have some moves,"said Amanda.
"Fine,"muttered Tyler. The bell rang and Amanda gathered up her books and went to leave class as they slowly flitered out into the hall.
"AJ can I talk to you?"asked Harry. Amanda turned and walked over to his desk, she walked around to the side he was sitting on and sat on the desk crossing her les.
"What's up?"asked Amanda. Harry was taken back by her sitting on his desk, he had female students flirt with him even one kiss him but she was different, unlike the other girls Harry wanted Amanda to sit on his desk. He had to admitt he was attracted to Amanda, she was goregous, long brown hair in loose curls, a curvy body with a small waist and a full chest. Her eyes were bright blue and light up when she talked and her skin was a creamy honey color.
"That was um, nice what you did for Marty,"said Harry trying to keep control.
"Well whatever, the kid has a hard time,"said Amanda.
"It's nice. I've had him as a student since he came to Winslow and all he needs is a chance, he desperately wants to with the in-crowd,"said Harry.
"Well I can relate,"said Amanda,"We all have hard times when we enter the big leagues of school, we gotta find that groove we fit into."
"It's good to just see someone, especially a pretty girl like you to give him attention,"said Harry as Amanda slide off the desk.
"Ah you think I'm pretty?"asked Amanda leaning down slightly,"That's so sweet." Harry didn't know how to respond, proffessionally he shouldn't have said it but personally he like the smile that came over her face.
"Well you're not too bad yourself,"said Amanda smiling before she stood up straight. Amanda went to leave the class,"See you next class Mr.Senate." Harry watched her walk out of class, he knew he shouldn't be doing things like that but he couldn't help it.
The next morning Amanda and Andy went into first block class and took their seats. Amanda pulled out her binder and set it on her desk and sat back. She looked around and seen Ronnie standing behind her class watching the students. Amanda had heard from talk in the halls about a relationship with Ms.Cook and Mr.Senate but from what she gathered it never really happened. 'Ew why would anyone find her attractive? Talk about botox and lip injection overdose, and that forehead, she looks like a face lift gone wrong,' thought Amanda.
"Hey heard you're buddy buddy with Marty,"said Andy breaking Amanda's thoughts.
"So?"asked Amanda.
"Okay, geesh was just saying,"said Andy.
"It's cool, just give the kid a damn break,"said Amanda. Andy nodded as Ronnie started the class, Amanda ignored her as she babbled on to unlistening ears. Half way through class when they were assigned to do some work Andy moved his desk over.
"What's up? You're head has been up in the clouds all class,"said Andy quietly.
"Have you ever noticed how ugly Ms.Cook is?"asked Amanda as if Andy had never said anything, Andy wasn't even sure she was talking to him.
"Yeah I guess she's a dog. She's got a nice body but her face is pretty ugly,"said Andy.
"Yeah, talk about being beaten with an ugly stick,"said Amanda.
"Why? What's up with the Ms.Cook hating?"asked Andy.
"I dunno, is it true she was with Mr.Senate?"asked Amanda.
"Who knows, it was probably just a rumor,"said Andy shrugging,"So what is it all about?"
"Just wondering,"snapped Amanda.
"Okay just calm down,"said Andy.
After class Amanda went straight to second block and sat in her desk, she wasn't upset this morning just a mixture of tiredness and people bugging her about Marty, she had no idea why people would have a problem with them. She sat back and bit her lip, 'some people just need to pull their heads straight out of their asses' thought Amanda. Karen and Miranda walked in took their seats, the pulled out their stuff and Miranda looked over at Amanda.
"Are you okay?"asked Miranda,"Andy said you were jumpy in English."
"Fine, just tired,"said Amanda.
"So hey what's up with Marty?"asked Karen.
"Nothing,"said Amanda.
"Cool,"said Karen,"Did you ask him out?"
"No I invited him to go to Sixty Nine sometime,"said Amanda,"He's never been and he really wants to go, you guys can come but you gotta be nice to him."
"He's okay, just annoying when he pulls that player shit,"said Miranda.
"So Mr.Senate was asking about you two yesterday,"said Amanda resting her head on her desk.
"Really?"asked Karen with bright eyes,"What?"
"Well he wanted to know where ya'll were so I said you guys were probably in bed and he was wondering why I wasn't there,"said Amanda smiling as their excited expressions faded.
"Did he really say that? About you in bed?"asked Karen.
"Yeah well it wasn't anything until Tyler called him on it,"said Amanda.
"Maybe Mr.Senate has a crush on you,"laughed Miranda,"As far as I know teachers aren't suppose to think about you in bed."
"Well you don't see me complaining,"said Amanda.
"Who would,"said Karen.
The class was boring and uneventful but everyone was quiet, there wasn't much to talk about and people were just too tired to talk. The teacher drooned on thinking the class was interested and listening, 'Oh my god this is such a stupid class I can't believe this. Well it was fun getting Karen and Miranda all up in the air thinking Mr.Senate even gave them a silver of a thought,' thought Amanda,'Maybe he didn't even give me a silver of thought, maybe it was just a mistake or something that meant nothing, but then again it's not every day a teacher just causually calls you a pretty girl, a popular girl maybe but pretty, that's a pretty personal compliment. But then let me sit on his desk, now that was a test, just to see if he'd tell me to get off. Fuck, I dunno, damn he's my teacher.'
At lunch Amanda sat with Marty on the stairs outside of Mr.Senate's room, Marty had class with Mr.Senate all afternoon. They sat going through a DJ magazine, Amanda found Marty kinda fun he was eager and obviously a loyal person, she didn't mind spending time with him.
"Winter love was bitchen, you go to that?"asked Amanda pointing to a picture taken from the party.
"Yeah my brother took me,"said Marty,"He was spinning at it."
"Really? Your brother is a DJ?"asked Amanda.
"Yeah, DJ Dream,"said Marty.
"That's cool,"said Amanda,"He's not bad, I've heard him a few times at some parties."
"So you go to raves a lot?"asked Marty.
"Sometimes, it's usually cheaper to go to an underground club, there's less drugs and stuff mostly cause the people there only wanna dance,"said Amanda,"That's my thing."
"That's cool, I don't do drugs,"said Marty,"I tried E once with my bro to get over the whole thrill of it but now I don't bother."
"That's like me, I use to but now I quit I have som much more fun just dancing. I have a few drinks once and a while but I'm not like an alcoholic,"said Amanda smiling. Marty and Amanda went through the magazine some more until Harry came down the stairs on the way to his class.
"You two studying?"asked Harry.
"Sure,"said Amanda sarcastically.
"It's a DJ mag,"said Marty.
"Well now there's education, go pick up a National Geographic,"said Harry as he stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked up at them.
"Ew and do that thing called education?"asked Amanda.
"Well then why do you come to class if you don't like it?"asked Harry.
"I got my reasons,"said Amanda smiling sweetly.
"I bet you do,"said Harry smiling right back up at her,"So I'll see you today?"
"With bells on,"said Amanda.
"Good,"said Harry,"I'll be looking forward to it." Harry then turned and walked back into his class room closing the door behind him.
"Well I coulda cut the sex with a dull knive,"said Marty.
"What?"asked Amanda acting stupid to the idea.
"Oh c'mon you were harsh flirting with Mr.Senate and he was flirting right on back. You were both macking on each other,"said Marty.
"No,"said Amanda.
"Well I know if I were him I would,"said Marty,"And didn't you just see the way he was checking you out."
"Oh well there's nothing wrong in flirting,"said Amanda shrugging.
"That was some dangerous flirting,"said Marty.
"You're nuts,"said Amanda.
"Well from what I've heard teachers in this school have a real problem keeping out of bed with their students,"said Marty,"Who knows maybe you'll ah be lucky."
"Screw off,"said Amanda pushing his arm.
"Okay,"said Marty laughing,"But ten bucks says you're in bed with him before the end of the year." Just the n the bell rang and both of them stood up.
"See ya in fourth,"said Marty.
"Fourth,"said Amanda as she started walking up the stairs. Marty stood at the doorway of the dungeon opening the door when he turned to Amanda.
"Hey Aje, that ten bucks covers the bed, the bathroom, the shower, the backseat and so on,"said Marty.
"Now you're dead,"said Amanda turning and running down the stairs after Marty who took off running into the class. Amanda followed him and chased him into his desk as he ducked and tried to cover himself from her playful smacks.
"Watch your back man, ya just never know,"said Amanda as she backed off of Marty who slowly sat up.
"Hey AJ, don't go killing my third period students,"said Harry,"Especially Marty, who will you talk to in fourth?"
"I'll try,"said Amanda walking towards the door.
"Hey Aje, ten bucks, ten big bucks,"taunted Marty as Amanda walked out the door. She flipped him the finger as she disappeared.
"What was all that about?"asked Harry.
"Just a bet, I'm definately going to win,"said Marty.
Amanda sat in her desk and looked over to Karen and Miranda's empty desks, she wasn't surprised. Sighing she sat back and waited for the bell to ring. She was in a staring trance out the window when someone tapping her on the shoulder broke her attention. Turning she looked to see Tyler sitting in the desk next to her.
