Chapter 4: Smooth, Mr Roman
1315 Words
Let's see how he handles this. Nothing like coffee and drama. I think.
"Her parents are paying me to teach her Spanish, see she's failing miserably. Figure a public space would be better than me teaching her at her house, wouldn't want people to get the wrong idea." He said in a serious tone. Bravo, Pietro.
"Good thinking, Mr Roma. Carry on." He said and then went to place his order.
"Smooth, Mr Roman." I smirked.
"Thought so." He chuckled.
"I have to ask. What happened to the note you left, you were charming and said you wanted to see me."
"That was before I knew you were my student, and you're underage."
"I'm eighteen." I rolled my eyes.
"Doesn't matter, it's wrong." He said in a serious tone.
"True, you would probably want someone older, someone mature." I said nonchalant.
"You're right, now let's get back to Spanish."
"Alright." I shrugged.
I finished writing some words, sentences, needles to say I failed.
"Mr Roman, I'm a lost cause, I don't want to waste your time, I'm sure you have better things to do than waste it with an immature girl."
"See you tomorrow at school." I waved him goodbye and left. On my way to the car I was met by someone I've never seen in my life.
Well she connected her fist to my face. "He's mine back off." I didn't got a chance to reply cause she left fast.
Fuck, who was she talking about? I just got in the car and left, didn't need anymore surprises. I made it home, got questioned I told them what happened, they wanted to kill whoever gave me a black eye.
Next day my eye got worse, I put on makeup, then did my morning routine and then went to school. And I was early ten minutes.
"Morning."
"Finally on time." He said not looking at me.
"Si." I replied and made my way to my desk. After he was done he looked towards me and saw my black eye.
"What happened?"
"Beats me." I shrugged.
"Who hit you?"
"I don't know, I was getting ready to open my car, when someone yelled 'He's mine' and then her fist met my face."
"How did she looked like?"
"Orange hair, brown eyes and was tall. That's all I saw."
He started to rub his forehead in frustration, so I got up and grabbed his hands. "Hey, it was just a little punch, no need to worry." I grinned, he seemed to have calmed.
"Are you feeling better? Do I need to slap you?" I asked he just chuckled a bit. Then he removed his hands from mine and went back to his desk. Soon people were entering. I was still with the question, who the hell was that woman.
I will ask him later, hopefully he won't go crazy, cause according to him , his private life stays private.
Class was over and I decided to stay a little bit. "So, was that woman your girlfriend?"
"That's none of your business, so stay out of it."
"It is my business, I was hit by her."
"Listen, I'll handle this, now stay out of my private life, don't ever ask me questions about it." He said in a cold tone.
"You know what, fine I hope you two are very happy. Vete al carajo" he just looked at me annoyed. I told him to go to hell. I learned the important stuff.
"Good day, Mr Roman." I stormed out of the classroom.
"How was the party?" Anna asked Kyle as I was walking towards them.
"It was really great, Marissa was nice to be with." He said And Anna looked a bit sad.
"That's good, you deserve someone nice." She answered while faking a smile.
"Yes I do." He grinned.
"Well, uhm, I have to go." She said in defeat. But before she had the chance to leave, he grabbed her arm and pulled her into a kiss.
"Except the one I want, is a cute kitty." He said while caressing her face, she blushed.
"What about Marissa?"
"I told her that we can only be friends, cause someone else has my attention."
"I like you, Anna."
"I like you too."
"Was that so hard to say?" He asked while raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, not because of you, but because I just don't want to get hurt." She sighed.
"Don't worry, I'm not him, I would never lay a hand on you." She smiled at his words.
"So will you finally be mine."
"Yes." She hugged him.
"About time." I mentioned.
"It only took you a year to finally admit it." Aurora said to Anna.
"That was beautiful." We turned to see a guy. He told us his name is Jayden and his new. We Introduced ourselves. He took a liking to Aurora.
We went to our next class. Then it was time for lunch. I saw him talking to the other teachers, he was being flirty with them.
"If you keep looking at him, you're gonna poke hole all over him." Jayden said.
"Huh?"
"I may be new, but it's obvious you're crushing on him."
"That obvious?"
"Yeah." They all said.
"Well doesn't matter, now excuse me I just lost my appetite." I said while turning around Before I had the chance to leave, Pearl came and threw juice all over me.
"Oops."
"Yeah, that's what your parents said when you were born, oops." I shot back and everyone was laughing.
"At least I got to live, unlike your son Mateo, where is he now? Oh yeah, in hell." She started to laugh and the whole cafeteria went silence.
"You took it far, no one and I mean no one, messes with his memory." I threw a punch and she landed on the floor.
"NEXT TIME WILL BE YOUR FAKE NOSE!" she got up and ran.
"Miss Crawford, office now." The principal said. Let's just say, I got suspended for a week, which was fine by me. It meant no queen bee, no Mr Roman and no boring classes. I got also grounded for a month. It was school and then home.
"Can I still visit him?" I said as tears started to fall.
"Of course, we would never take that away from you." Dad answered while hugging me.
"Thanks." I went to my room and pretty much cried myself to sleep.
The next day I woke up around 10 am, got ready and made my way to the graveyard, I didn't realized I was being followed.
"You okay?" I turned to see Kyle.
"No, I hate when people make jokes about him."
"I miss him."
"It will get better." He said.
"I hope so." I said getting up and pulled him into a hug.
"I'm here Mar." I smiled.
"Thanks."
"Now, why are you out here and not in school?"
"Because I knew my best friend would be here, and she would need me."
"Know me too well." I giggled. As tears kept falling.
"True, now come on, let's go have some cupcakes."
"I can't go, I'm still grounded." I sighed.
"Already asked your parents and they let you go for cupcakes." We left the graveyard. Kyle was always there to cheer me up and I love him for that.
I was finally at home watching TV, then my doorbell rang. "I'm coming, I have short legs."
I opened the door and saw him.
"Shouldn't you be at school?
"I don't teach on Fridays, but since you need extra help on Spanish, here I am."
"Sure why not, come on in."
After working on Spanish and getting some words correct, we stopped for a break.
"Can we talk?"
"About what?" I asked confused.
"About what happened at the cafeteria, yesterday."
"Only if you tell me about that crazy b***h who attacked me."
"Deal." He smiled.
