Hot For Teacher(88)

By:Mandee Mae


During homeroom, she didn’t say one word to me. This gave me plenty of time to think, I needed to find Max and clear the air.

Zach



I was sitting in my history class bored as hell until the teacher, Mr. Geoffrey, gave us our homework assignment.

“Class, I would like you to write a research paper about any event or discovery that happened during The Great Depression.”

Sally Langston, the class pet and goody two-shoes raised her hands.

“Yes, Ms. Langston?”

“I have a question. How long does this have to be? And can I choose more than one subject to talk about? There were so many awesome things that happened during that time. Hemmingway, Ford, just to name a few.” She sat back with a huge grin on her face, pleased with herself.

“Three pages—typed and double spaced. Due in two weeks. Yes, you can choose more than one topic, but they need to be connected somehow.”

All I heard was blah—blah—blah. I’m such a smarty pants, no one will ever screw me.

The bell rang, ending my misery and saving the day. I practically ran out of the door, pushing everyone out of my way.

I saw Zeke moping down the hall and held my tongue. I walked beside him and placed a hand on his shoulder instead. He was my brother and like it or not, even he needs a break from my tormenting.

I knew he was upset because of Max, what I didn’t know, was why?

I hadn’t seen or heard from Amber all day, which was weird.

Me: Where r u?

Blondie: I’m out sick today.

Me: Everything okay?

Blondie: No, but I’ll meet you after school to talk.

Me: Screw school, I’ll come now.

Blondie: No, please. I’ll meet you in the park near the school after the final bell.

Zeke

I was shocked Zach didn’t bust my balls as he walked passed me. He was actually kind to me—total shock.

On my way to lunch I received a text message from Rachel.

Bestie: Mathlete practice is cancelled. Ms. Sheppard is out sick.

Great. My only chance to reconcile with her was gone. This day needs to be over—now.





Chapter 14


Zach

Amber was sitting on a park bench waiting for me. Ironically, it was the same one I banged Mindy on last week. “Hey, Amber.”

She slightly jumped when she heard my voice. Her eyes were red and swollen, like she’d been crying all day. I sat down beside her and wrapped my arm around her. “What’s going on?”

“My sister hates me.”

“Why?”

“Let’s just say, I ruined something of hers.”

“Oh.” I was never the sensitive type, and comforting people was a little out of my comfort zone. But it bothered me to see how upset she was.

“I’m sure she’ll come around. I give Zeke shit all the time and we still manage.”

“But y’all are twins, you have an unspoken connection. She’s my older sister and I changed her entire world—accidently.”

“She’ll forgive you—give it time.”

“Thanks Zach. You’re not too bad at this comforting thing.”

“Anytime, let’s clean you up and grab a movie or something.”

“Don’t you have practice tonight?”

“Yeah, but this is more important. Chris can cover for me.”

Zeke

As I lay in my bed staring up at the ceiling, I wondered if Max was okay. I really hoped to see her earlier, but after yesterday I couldn’t blame her for not showing up.

Rachel begged me to come over tonight and I blew her off. Zach was out, and mom and dad went out on a date.

I heard an unfamiliar chirping sound come from my phone. I picked it up and saw the email symbol right at the top.

I hadn’t received an email in so long that I forgot what it sounded like.

Subject: Sorry

Zeke,

I know you must think I am the weirdest person on earth. I know you just wanted to comfort me yesterday during my time of need, but my judgment was so cloudy that I couldn’t handle it.

I felt something indescribable and because of that, I couldn’t face you today.

I understand if you no longer want to be my assistant anymore.

I’ll see you soon.

-Max

I sat there gripping the phone in my hand as tightly as possible. Were my feelings for her so strong that she felt them without me even saying one word about them? I decided to write her back since this was the only form of communication I had available with her.

Re: Sorry



Max,

All I wanted to do was lend you an ear and give you a shoulder to cry on. I’ve been in your shoes once before and believe me, it sucks!

Although I haven’t had many serious relationships, I know how a woman should be treated.

…delicately…

P.S I’m not going anywhere!

-Zeke

Never in a million years would I have ever had the courage to speak to a woman like this.
