The next day Amanda sat in front of the TV watching talk shows. Scott had
told her if she felt she needed to she could take the day off to rest and
gather herself from the incident the day before. Seeing an opportunity
when it came along she agreed and spent her day at home sleeping in and
lounging on the couch with Nicky watching mindless TV about out of control
teens. 'Why don't they just smack the kid up?' thought Amanda,'He's nine,
I could beat the kid blindfolded.' She changed the channel onto a soap
opera then laid back down on the couch with Nicky resting next to her
stomach.
As she was dozing off she was woken by the door opening and closing. She opened her eyes to see Scott walking in. He looked down at her and smiled.
"How are you feeling?"asked Scott as Amanda rolled on to her back.
"Fine,"yawned Amanda.
"That's good,"said Scott nodding as he walked into the kitchen and picked up the mail. He came walking back out to the living room and sat on the loveseat well flipping through the mail.
"You're home early,"said Amanda looking at the clock and seeing it was three thirty.
"I wanted to make sure you were okay,"said Scott.
"I'm fine,"confirmed Amanda as she looked over at the TV.
"Tyler has been expelled from school,"said Scott.
"Isn't he being charged?"asked Amanda.
"No, we opted that we expell him so you and Marty would not risk facing charges or any discipline,"said Scott.
"What? What the hell did we do?"asked Amanda sitting up slightly.
"Marty swung the first punch and you involved yourself,"said Scott,"Don't worry about it now, it's over and you're okay." Amanda muttered as she laid down again.
"Tomorrow after school you have a test with Mr.Senate,"said Scott,"You and Marty missed it so he's allowing you to make it up after school." Amanda shrugged and rolled over on to her stomach waking up Nicky who just stretched and climbed on to her lower back and laid down.

The next day Amanda walked into Danny's class late, she woke up late from being up all night thinking about things then took her time getting dressed perfectly, she didn't really know why but she just had that feeling she had to be dressed to impress for the day. Now she was dressed in a pair of skin tight black pants hugging her hips and a low deep purple v-neck sweater with black heels boots. Danny watched as she silently walked through the class and took her seat like nothing was out of the oridinary.
"AJ, wanna give us a reason you were late?"asked Danny.
"Woke up late Mr.Hanson,"said AJ.
"Ya'd think out of all people in this school the vice-principal's daughter would be the one to show up on time,"said Danny.
"That's thinking for you,"said AJ smirking.
"Well maybe tomorrow we could try to bring ourselves to class on time,"said Danny,"Ya know if it fits in all your schedules."
"Sure thing,"said AJ. Danny shook his head and continued on with class. He liked Amanda, she wasn't like her father she was quick and witty and always had an answer for you. Though the one thing none of the staff ever got was she looked nothing like her father, and if she looked like her mother then how the hell did Scott Guber ever get a girl that looked like that? Unless the theory of two negatives made a positive came in to play and that's how Amanda ended up the way she was.
****
At lunch Amanda sat iwth Karen and Miranda in the library. They had books out in front of them so they wouldn't be kicked out but they need quiet time to talk so it was their only choice.
"So we heard Tyler got kicked out,"said Miranda.
"Yeah, he got expelled. Fucking bastard deserved it,"said Amanda.
"Well I hate to say it but we told you so,"said Karen.
"I know, I know,"said Amanda,"Guess it was just one those things."
"Yeah, geesh Mr.Senate got it badly,"said Miranda.
"I seen,"said Amanda.
"When? You weren't here yesterday,"said Karen.
"I went down the day it happened,"said Amanda,"I had to stay late and give a statement to the police."
"Oh, so you and Mr.Senate were all alone in that class together?"smiled Miranda,"Geesh I wonder whatever could've happened."
"Nothing,"said Amanda shaking her head, 'too bad though'.
"Oh c'mon, we've all heard the rumors about Senate and Dana Poole. He's not exactly shy about student teacher relationships,"said Karen.
"Dana who?"asked Amanda.
"Dana, the girl who kissed Senate. From word is they went out on a date or two when she graduated,"said Miranda.
"Well whatever,"said Amanda shrugging.
"Yeah but you gotta admit Mr.Senate is one nice piece of ass,"said Miranda.
"Yeah, he's that. Definately, I just can't believe he's single,"said Amanda.
"Well he won't be if you dig your pretty little claws into him,"said Miranda.
"Wasn't he dating Ms.Cook?"asked Karen.
"Yeah but they had that fight and broke up,"said Miranda,"She was too ugly for him anyways."
"Hell she's too ugly for a paper bag,"said Amanda. The girls laughed as they went on rating the teachers they thought were hot.
"Okay, okay, Mr.Hanson,"said Karen.
"Uhhhhh, I dunno he's not hot but he's okay I guess,"said Amanda,"I'm not really for guys with blond hair."
"Yeah she likes em' dark,handsome and mysterious like Mr.Senate,"said Karen.
*********
Amanda sat across from Marty after school in Harry's class writing the test from the day before. She flicked her pen against the desk constantly well staring at the last question on the paper. She sighed and sat back thinking about it but it wasn't coming to her. She looked around and seen Harry sitting behind his desk reading the newspaper and Marty sat next to her writing. Biting her lip she continued tapping her pen as she stared at the paper.
"Do you mind?"asked Marty.
"Huh?"asked Amanda looking over at him.
"Stop tapping the damn pen,"said Marty.
"No talking,"said Harry.
"I'm thinking, I gotta tap the pen,"said Amanda.
"What question?"asked Marty.
"Last one,"said Amanda. Marty turned over his page well Harry threw the paper on the desk in defeat.
"Does anyone listen to me?"asked Harry to no one inparticular.
"It's C,"said Marty.
"Thanks,"said Amanda marking it down on her paper,"And Mr.Senate we do listen to you, do we do it? No, not often."
"Well thanks for clearing that up for me,"said Harry sarcastically,"That one has been baffling me for years."
"Happy to be of any service I can,"said Amanda bringing the paper up to Harry and setting it on the desk,"Marty hurry up."
"I only got a couple left,"said Marty quickly reading the questions and circling the right answer.
"I thought you two were mad at each other,"said Harry.
"Well that's thinking for you,"said Amanda,"Shit happens, we move on, grow up and get on with life." Marty got up and handed in his test then grabbed his bag.
"Kay, let's go,"said Amanda.
"You two going to show up tomorrow?"asked Harry as they walked out of his class.
"Yeah,"shrugged Marty.
"Who knows what we'll be doing,"said Amanda as they walked out of the door.
Up in the hallway Amanda stood by Marty as he pulled his jacket out of his locker. She swifted her purse and looked around the empty hallway. Marty slammed his locker pulling Amanda's attention back to him.
"Remember that bet you made with me?"asked Amanda as they started walking towards the exit.
"What?"asked Marty.
"The ten buck one,"said Amanda looking away. Marty looked strangely at her then it clicked in what she was talking about.
"Fuck no, you didn't do Senate did you?"asked Marty in a hushed voice.
"No, I was just wondering what constitutes for the bet to be won,"said Amanda biting her lip.
"Yeah you gotta fuck him,"said Marty,"Why? What happened?"
"How come you two are here?" Marty and Amanda turned to see Ronnie standing behind them.
"This is our school isn't it?"asked Amanda sarcastically.
"Yes but it let out almost an hour ago,"said Ronnie almost accusingly.
"We were with Mr.Senate,"said Marty. Ronnie looked at them suspiciously like she knew they were lying and she was trying to read them for the truth.
"Yeah, having one of those orgies to raise our mark,"said Amanda with a dead serious face,"That Mr. Senate is a real buck one." Marty and her then turned and walked to the exit of the building leaving Ronnie standing there speechless.
"You must really hate that bitch,"said Marty as they walked in the cold Boston air.
"She could drop for all I care,"said Amanda.
****
Ronnie stormed up to the teacher's lounge and walked in huffing. Lauren and Danny looked up at her as she angrily go a can of pop from the fridge.
"Tough day?"asked Danny.
"No, just had another run in with little Miss Innocent,"spat Ronnie angrily as she opened the can.
"Who?"asked Lauren.
"Scott's perfect little angel daughter,"said Ronnie,"That girl thinks she can say whatever she wants and the foolish part is Scott lets her get away with it."
"How bad can she be? She's Scott's daughter,"said Lauren.
"A down right rude bitch,"said Ronnie as Harry walked in.
"Whoa, who are we chewing out?"asked Harry as he also pulled out a can of pop from the fridge.
"AJ Guber,"said Ronnie.
"Why?"asked Harry like it was a stupid thing to do.
"Because that girl does what she wants,"said Ronnie.
"How?"asked Harry.
"She's a joy in my class, yeah she's got everyone eating out of her hands but she's a good kid,"said Danny.
"She mouths me off and Scott lets her away with it,"said Ronnie like they should've known.
"Why what has she said?"asked Danny.
"She made some smart ass sexually suggestive comment about Harry, her and that lap dog of her's Marty. If any other student woulda said it and I report it to Scott they'd put through the grinder, but no not her,"said Ronnie.
"What did she exactly say?"asked Harry curious.
"Something about you, her and Marty having an orgy to boost their marks, may I add is sexual harrasment and grounds for suspension,"said Ronnie.
"Marty and her are friends, he's not her lap dog. She looks out for him, she's about the best thing that's come into that kids' life in a long time,"said Lauren.
"I don't care, she's out right disrespectful,"said Ronnie.
"Well do you want me to say something to her about it?"asked Harry.
"No, no, no,"said Ronnie biting her lip as she headed towards the door,"Just leave it."
*****
Amanda sat on her back pourch at home with Marty having a cigarette before her dad came home. She was now in sweats and was sitting in a patio chair.
"Ya know it doesn't matter how many times I'm here or how I think of it, it's still weird to be in the vice principal's house,"said Marty.
"Well technically we're not in the house,"said Amanda.
"You know what I mean,"said Marty as Amanda smirked at him,"So what's really the deal between you and Senate?"
"Nothing,"said Amanda.
"Oh c'mon stopping feeding me the bullshit, it's kinda sour,"said Marty,"There's something, it just ain't teacher student between you two."
"That's all there is,"said Amanda.
"Bullshit, that is pure bullshit girl, you know it. I see the way he looks at you, it's like you're the only thing he can see and if someone asked him to leap off a building for you he'd do it no questions asked,"said Marty.
"I'm beautiful what can I say? There's no sin in admiring a beautiful girl,"said Amanda.
"And don't try to feed me that either, you got a hard thing for him,"said Marty.
"Okay he's good looking and all but that's it,"said Amanda.
"Yeah you keep telling yourself that,"said Marty smiling.
As she was dozing off she was woken by the door opening and closing. She opened her eyes to see Scott walking in. He looked down at her and smiled.
"How are you feeling?"asked Scott as Amanda rolled on to her back.
