4th Lesson

I sit down in Maths in a daze.
The teacher is pointing to the board but I'm too distracted to pay attention.
Its just everything about him is so flawless and then theres me. It's like everything surrounding him is perfect- and then theres me.
Its him and I, Me and Him. Not an us.

"MISS STEELE!" My eyes shoot open and rest on a vicious looking version of Mrs Penrose.

"Y-yes?"

"Stay behind! If you can't pay attention in my lesson then you can learn to after!" She glares at me and I say nothing back.

After class

I watch as everyone else leaves the classroom, leaving me alone with my teacher- who doesn't look very impressed with me.

"What's gotten into you Miss Steele? Your normally my star student!" She stands in front of my desk with a frown.

"I'm sorry I guess I'm just a bit distracted"

"Well try not to let it happen again" her face grows softer and I nod as I get out of my seat.

I walk to Mr Martinez's class and I open the door, greeted by his confused expression,

"How come your late Miss Steele?" He questions, raising an eyebrow at me.

"My teacher kept me behind, sorry Mr Martinez" I smiled sweetly and took my seat.

The way his last name rolled off my tongue made me want to melt into his arms.
My gaze rested upon his face as I cupped my chin in one hand, grasping my pen in the other.

I paid attention and wrote down notes like usual, but today was different. I felt a lift in my mood and a constant smile on my face.
But I was confused by what had made me feel this great.

After lesson

*bell rings*

I pack my things away and wave goodbye to Mr Martinez with a grin.
I walk home cheerfully and as I enter the house I immediately smell the burning of food from the kitchen- Classic Ashley.

"What you burning this time?" I joke as I walk into the kitchen to see Ashley throwing out some burnt food straight from the pan.

"Laura I don't think I can cook,"

"It can't be that-"

"Like at all" She adds with a frown.
I look in the bin to see just black remains- you couldn't even tell what it was.

"What is it?" I ask as I look over at her sulking face.

"Omelette"

"Oh"
I scrunch up my face and try to think.

"Maybe you can take nightly cooking classes!"
She lights up like a lightbulb at my idea,

"Thats great!" She shot up and picked up her phone,

"I'll search for some now! You want to join me?"
I laugh and shake my head.

"No I'm okay"

My phone buzzes in my pocket and I turn on the screen and laugh at the name that pops up.
