"Mom I'm out, I'll be home by dinner." I shouted from the door.

"Okay honey, where are you going?" She asked. This is the first time she's asking this. I don't want to lie but I obviously can't tell her I'm going to my teacher's house to chill. So I said something in between.

"To uh see one of my friends?" I said and went outside not giving her a chance to say anything. Chris lived close to me. He's 4 blocks away.

I knocked on his door and waited. I couldn't help but look around just to be sure that nobody is there to see this.

It's been 3 weeks since we were going out together. I'm reluctant to call him my boyfriend, it feels weird. But it's safe to say that we like each other. On Sundays I go to his place, we watch movies and chat.

"Sorry, I was in the bathroom, didn't heard you knock." Chris said as he opened the door.

"So, what should we watch?" He said.

"Mi-"

"No. We can't watch mission impossible." He said interrupting me. I rolled my eyes.

"We only watched the first three movies." I said.

"It's not even that go-"

"Don't you dare finish that sentence."

"Um, well we can watch something else like comedy?"

"Hey let's watch Modern Family!"

"That's not even a movie." Chris sighed.

"Okay, I don't care. You pick." I said sitting down. He mumbled something then went to his movie archive, after a while he picked a DVD turned around, facing me with a proud smile. I bet it's one of those stupid James Bond movies.

"You'll love this." He said opening the dvd box.

"What are we watching?"

"It's a movie about a father who's kid is missing, he searches for him nonstop with the help of an mentally ill friend." He said sitting next to me.

"Wow that sounds interesting." I said.

"It's Finding Nemo." He said.

"Why do you have Finding Nemo's dvd? What are you, 5?" I asked.

We were actually watching a disney movie for kids and halfway through he poked me on the shoulder.

"What?" I asked.

"So we didn't actually talked about the thing with uh Tom." He said stuttering.

"Chris, he is my close friend. I can't dump him just because you don't 'get a good vibe' from him. He's fine don't worry."

"He's hitting on you." He snapped.

"He's hitting on everyone actually everything." I said, he laughed.

"I don't know, I really don't like him." He said.

"What's the matter? There's more than you just not liking him." I said, he sighed and paused the movie.

"Look, the thing is he's the same age as you, he clearly is good looking for a boy your age and you two know each other for a while actually for a long time. He is a good match for you and I don't want him to take you away. On the other hand there's me, a 28 year old man who teaches History." He said.

"A 28 year old man who teaches a subject that he is very passionate about also is very versatile and kind. In additional he's caring and mature not to forget the fact that he is super attractive. This is what I see." I said resting my head on his shoulder. He kissed me on the cheek. I could feel him smile. We must've fell asleep because when I woke up it was 6:43 am and we had school.

"This is bullsh- where's my bag oh okay no 12 missed call from mom. Je suis going to get punished. CHRIS IM LEAVING OKAY BYE."
I said and stormed to my house. I had 3569 excuses flying in my head. I just decided to climb through my window and act like nothing happened and go to sleep.

At 7:38am mom knocked on my door then came in.

"Honey where were you last night? I got so worried." She said, I lightly yawned and rubbed my eyes.

"I was with Phoebe and Jennifer we were out walking around then I lost my phone so we searched at least an hour for it, turns out that I forgot my phone home under the bed and it was on silent so uh yeah." I'm going to hell.

"Okay, get ready. You don't want to miss breakfast." She said and went downstairs. I got ready and went downstairs. I was oddly early this morning. I had breakfast then walked to school and guess what? When I arrived I was still 23 minutes early. So what now? I looked at Chris' classroom he hadn't come yet. I stood in front of my locker hoping to see someone I know.

"Look who's early." Mr. Renner said standing next to me with his briefcase in his hand.

"Yeah, I don't know how it happened either." I said smiling.

"I'll get some coffee, if you want to you can sit in my classroom, there's still 15 minutes until class." He said. I nod and went to the classroom. I put my head over my arm and closed my eyes. I did get enough sleep but for some reason whenever I walk in to school I feel extremely exhausted. I decided to take a nap.

I woke up with someone disturbing me, I looked up and see Chris not so happy.

"What are you doing here." He whispered. I looked at to desk to see if Mr. Renner was there. He wasn't.

"I was taking a nap."

"In his classroom?" He said with anger. Okay his jealousy is getting out of control.

"I'm not going to have this conversation." I said standing up and going to the bathroom. I washed my face and hands to feel more awakened. The bell ringed. It was Mr. Ruffalo's class. I walked to the classroom.

During the day I tried to talk with Chris, he acted coldly. Maybe because we were at school.

I was waiting for Phoebe in front of her classroom, she was tidying her books. I saw Chris walking with Mr. Downey. I kept my head on the floor, didn't wanted to make eye contact with him.

"Mi amor, let me walk you to lunch." Said Tom. I glanced at Chris, he heard it.

"I'm waiting for Phoebe, we'll walk together." I said. Chris walked pass us. I decided to talk to him in the lunch break.

We walked to lunch and sat to our table. We saw Liam talking to Cindy.

"The principal is dumb." Said Liam.

"Umm like do you know who I am?" Said Cindy.

"No?"

"I'm the principals daughter dumbass." Said Cindy.

"Do you know who I am?" Asked Liam.

"No."

"Okay good."Liam said and walked to our table.

I finished my meal early and went upstairs to talk with Chris. He was sitting and writing exam papers.

"Hey." I said closing the door.

"Yes Ms. Avery?" He said not looking up from his computer.

"Rude." I said pulling a chair next to his.

"I have work to do." He said bluntly.

"Fine." I said. I walked through the door and waited a little bit just in case he says stop. He didn't

"Will you talk to me?" I said with anger. He didn't answered. I leaved.

After school I had to give my paperwork to Chris. I just finished it. I decided to leave it on his desk before he came.

I walked quickly to his classroom. It was closed all the way through. He wouldn't usually close his door all the way. I pushed it a little bit, there was a little gap. I looked through it to see if he was there. There was a women, I saw her from behind. She was leaning over his desk. I couldn't see him but I could tell he was sitting.  They were laughing about something. I pushed the door a little bit more to extend my vision. He stood up, she came closer to him. No. He's not going to kiss her. Is he? She faced my way, she was Ms. Atwell.

She touched him on the shoulder. He grabbed her from the waist. They were making out. Passionately. I gasped. I was looking from the little gap but I didn't realized I was giving my weight on it so the door opened all the way and I fell inside the classroom. They both stopped and stepped away from each other. I wanted to punch myself. I cleared my throat.

"I finished the uh these papers you ahem a-assigned to me, they are really good, ugh I mean goodly written okay so yeah." I said and put the papers on his desk. I didn't looked at both of them. I just get out of there as quickly as I could. 

I ran. I didn't wanted to think about what I just saw. I went to Phoebes. I knocked on the door, I was out of breath when Phoebe opened the door and asked me what was wrong I couldn't hold the tears. I didn't felt angry. I felt disappointed. And disgust.

I told her what happened trying to stop crying. She stopped me and gave me a cup of hot chocolate. She knows I love it.

"This sucks. He sucks." She said.

"I knew this was wrong. I give up." I said. She stopped and looked at me.

Her eyes sparkled.

She has an idea.
