Chapter Eight

The hour went by slowly. I could almost feel Micheal's lips on mine. I really need to kiss him! My body was already starting to heat up at the thought of him!

I turned to see him, hoping he would be looking. I found him asleep; Kyle just shrugged and nudged him, but he didn't move.

I sighed and slapped him on the head. He shot up, glaring around the room, looking for the person that disrupted his precious sleep. His gaze rested on me and I tried to look innocent. He just growled and put his head back down.

Turning back around, I found the class watching me, Mr. McKnight included. "Well, miss Deluca, would you care to share what has your attention instead of me? I'm sure we all would love to know."

"Yeah, Maria," Courtney said, walking into the room. She handed McKnight her pass and strode over to her seat, limping slightly. "We'd all LOVE to know."

I gritted my teeth. "Shut the hell up, Courtney."

"Well, Maria? We're all waiting," McKnight leaned against his desk and I sighed.

"I was just... I don't know, Mr. McKnight. I'm sorry I interupted your class," I said, hopeful he would let me go.

"Nice try, Deluca. You'll see me right after class," he pointed at me for emphasis and I merely nodded, silently cursing Micheal for... being his sexy self in my mind... Then he continued, only this time to Courtney, "my god, Courtney! What happened to you?"

"Well, Mr. McKnight... You see- I just... I was walking out of the bathroom, and someone was walking in and bam! I got a door in my face," she explained, lamely, and everyone laughed, all knowing fully well how she got that way.

"Well," McKnight came back, trying not to laugh as well, "better watch out for those doors next time, eh?" she turned beat red and put her face down. "Now, back to the topic at hand! Before Miss Deluca interupted me-"

He continued on about blah-de-blah and la-de-do. Well, of course I wasn't paying attention! I was furious I would be missing quality eraser room time! I felt a tap on my shoulder, Micheal looking me right in the eye.

"Did he say you have to stay after class?" he asked and I nodded. "What the hell, Maria? What about going to the eraser room?"

"Well, you know what? The whole world doesn't revolve around the eraser room, pal! Don't cry about it," I whispered harshly, and turned back around. Focus on McKnight, Deluca! You need to pass this class to graduate!

He kept trying to get my attention, but I was determined to make sure McKnight knew I was paying attention to him. I tried really hard not to notice Courtney next to me, openly drooling over my boyfriend. I was ready to beat the shit out of her again. Nobody can look at him like that but me!

"Mr. Guerin? Would you like to join me and miss Deluca after class?" Everyone turned to face him, myself included.

He didn't look embarrassed at all. In fact, I think thats what he was trying to do. "I would like to join you after class, Mr. McKnight. After all, you are my favorite teacher," he said, sarcastically.

McKnight was not as ammused as the rest of us. "Alright, Mr. Guerin. You can stay after school, not class. We'll talk then." The bell rang and we all started packing up our things. "Great. Don't forget to read the first few cha-" the class was already out the door before he could finish.

I stood up, slightly nervous. Micheal was making his way to the door, but he turned at the last minute. He looked at me, winked, and walked out. I think that was his way of saying, everything's gonna be okay. I sighed and turned toward McKnight.

"Well, Maria..." he went on and on about responsibility and that we were in class to learn, not to flirt. I told him I was sorry and he gave me a pass to class. I decided against it and made a bee line to the eraser room. He would be there waiting, right?

I opened the door, and Micheal wasn't the face I found. Rather Alex and Isabel. Wait, Isabel? When did that happen?

"Ahem!" I said loudly and they both turned. "Hi, guys."

"Ria! What are you doing in here?" Isabel pushed Alex away lightly, wiping her mouth.

"Yeah, Maria. Why are you in here?" Alex looked slightly sad and I couldn't blame him. He was getting some action from Ice Princess Isabel, not many men could say the same.

"Well, I WAS looking for Micheal, but since he's not in here, I'll just go to class or something. Sorry to interupt," I said and started out the door. I paused. "You two look really good together. Really cute." I kept going this time, frustrated with stupid teachers that keep me after class and stupid boyfriends that don't meet me in the eraser room.

I slumped in my chair in Miss Nagy's class. Micheal was seats behind me, trying to catch my eye. He wouldn't be catching it. I was far to angry at the boy. Who gives up the chance of skipping class for the eraser room? Stupid boyfriends!

That's all I have for now, but look out for updates soon! Review please!
