-Chapter 80- Kiss the teacher-
-Shelby pov-
The return to school has been...different. Everyone has been in a weird funk. When I say everyone I do mean everyone. My girlfriends and the girls included.
I really don't understand what's happening. I just really want the day to be done. Maybe tomorrow will be better. At least I'm hoping it is.
Right now, I'm just watching the kids mope around. I just really wanna make them happy! I mean we run at sectionals! Shouldn't that still be carrying on?
How are they all so sad? Did I miss something? Is it something I did? Maybe I forgot someone's birthday!
I run to my office and look at the calendar. I didn't miss anyone's birthday. What is going on?! This is driving me insane!
"Miss Corcoran?" I turn and see one of the girls..her name is...Anna! "You ok? I saw you run out of the room"
"Yeah" I sigh and walk to my desk "Just confused why everyone is in a funk"
"I am too" She closes the door and slowly walks toward me "I'm not though..in fact I'm fully the opposite"
"That's good to hear" I am fully confused as she keep walking toward me "You sure you are ok?
"I'm fine" I'm backed into the wall and she's trapping me "I could keep you out of a funk too"
-Rachel singing-
Everybody screamed,
When I kissed the teacher
And they must have thought they dreamed,
When I kissed the teacher
With the distraction I'm able to get away from Anna. She follows me into the classroom and we see Rachel playing. Everyone seems to be laughing including my girlfriends.
All my friends at school
They had never seen the teacher blush,
He looked like a fool
Nearly petrified
'Cause he was taken by surprise
When I kissed the teacher
Couldn't quite believe his eyes,
When I kissed the teacher
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath,
The world stood still,
But then he just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven,
When I kissed the teacher
One of these days
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him I care,
Gonna teach him a lesson alright
I was in a trance,
When I kissed the teacher
Suddenly I took the chance,
When I kissed the teacher
Leaning over me,
He was trying to explain
The laws of geometry
And I couldn't help it,
I just had to kiss the teacher
One of these days
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him I care,
Gonna teach him a lesson alright
What a crazy day,
When I kissed the teacher
All my sense had flown away,
When I kissed the teacher
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath,
The world stood still,
But then he just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven,
When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him)
"Hey Anna!" Judy walks over with a smirk "Shes taken and not looking for anyone else"
"Especially that young" Alex is soon holding onto me "I'm the only young one in this"
"Also it was a quick club vote" Maribel holds out her hand "Blazers patch please"
"It's sown on" Anna frowns "I was just doing what I was paid to do! Please do take this from me!"
"How would they know if you went through with it?" Anna pulls a camera out of her right pants pocket "Who paid you?"
"Someone who promised my family doesn't have to worry anymore" Tears form in Anna's eyes and I can see she's being sincere "The Indiana school isn't as fancy as here! We all are orphans or poor people!"
"Anna!" I look at Cherry or looks away "Don't give me pity looks"
"When were you gonna tell us this?!" No one looks at me "Someone answer me!"
"Never" Angela sighs "We all agreed when we came her to never let you know the statuses...but then I got adopted because of my uncle and..and walls started crumbling"
"We know you can't adopt all of us" Dotty grabs Cherrys hand "But we also know that the orphanage isn't getting their money"
"That's what that was for" Maribel sighs "I didn't know what I was ending!"
"So we orphans are going back" Cherry looks at the cardinals "Raise your hands Annie's!"
Almost all of the cardinals hands go up. I look at them and stop on Anna. Her hand isn't up but she's not looking at me anymore. I put a hand on her shoulder and she tenses.
"Abuse?" She nods "Mom leave him?"
"Opposite" Anna looks at me with tear trails down her face "She'd beat him and me whenever she could...he always would make sure I took as little as I could...he still has so many showing scars"
"I'll pay the orphanage again" Maribel looks at me and Judy "We need to talk"
"I'll watch them" I look at Alex confused "You all don't let me know the money"
"Cause we don't wanna worry you" Judy gives Alex and quick kiss "Not cause of anything else"
We walk into my office and sit "What do we do?" Maribel sits in a chair and puts her head in her hands "We can't just adopt them all but we can't have them not able to live!"
"I should've known on the mall trip" I get two confused looks "Since the school was paying they went, they spent little money on things, and they got things to last..no junk food or anything"
"We need to do a room sweep?" Now I send Judy a confused look "We had a mouse problem near the rooms..if they are storing we could have more money dumped out"
"Family no one wanted" I turn my confused look to Maribel "A couple adopted a bunch of kids...we adopt them and supply them with the money we get! It's like a income and they can live here! We can celebrate birthdays as a big family!"
"That sounds crazy" I sigh and smile "But it could work"
"So we really are going to try?" We nod "These are all seniors minus two"
"Angela and Dotty" I get confused looks "Number one stop the confused looks! Two is they were called seniors but credit wise they are juniors"
"So all adopted would be seniors?" I nod and Judy chuckles "These are huge get togethers"
"I've always wanted a big get together on holidays!" I smile "We can do this"
"Alright" Maribel stands up "I'll get in contact with lawyers and the orphanage"
Maribel walks out and I look at Judy "We are really doing this?" She nods and I smile "We are crazy!"
We both laugh and get up. We walk into the room and start laughing more. Everyone is looking at us confused. Alex is the first one to speak.
"Uhhh" She looks around "What's so funny?"
"We are crazy!" I look at the girls "We are going to try and adopt all of the orphans"
"You all will get any money sent for adopting you" Judy points above us "You'll stay in the dorm rooms and we expect you to visit on holidays after you graduate!"
"Ar-are you serious?" We nod and the girls swarm us "thank you!"
We exchange hugs and I look at Anna. I move and walk over to her. She sniffles and wipes her tears. She looks up and hands me the camera.
"I'll hand in the blazer tomorrow" She sighs "We don't have the money"
"You know" I take the seat beside her "Maribel has been wanting to build a small house in the back yard and by some more space...if your dad could be a good dean of students..maybe you could move in and he could work here"
Her eyes light up "Really?" I nod and she hugs me "T-t-th-thank you!"
"It's not problem" I look up and see Rachel smiling at me "I don't wanna see any of you struggle any more"
After all of that we dismiss on a happier note. Maribel says we should know our answer by tomorrow. I hope it's all good. At least tomorrow Anna's dad starts working.
Everything seems to be looking up slowly.
