Teacher Be Mine

Chapter 2

Veronica's POV.

Sammie and I had all our classes together. Justine and Justin weren't in this class. In fact, Justin and I had no classes what so ever together. This and something else that I can't remember at the moment, were the only two we didn't have with Justine. Which totally sucks. I groaned. Mariah's in this class! Why! Just when we get a hot young teacher. Wait, was that my name?

"Veronica Chambers?" Miss Rivers said.

"Oh... Here. Sorry." I said.

"Are you with us now?" She asked, with a playful smile.

"Yeah....uh sorry." I heard Sammie snicker beside me.

"It's fine dear. I was asking if you would introduce yourself. And as I told the rest of the class, I'll go last. And take any questions with it." Miss Rivers said.

"Uh......sure," I stood up. "The names Veronica Renee Chambers. I like to read, write, sing, and listen to music. But who doesn't." I said, watching as Miss Rivers smiled at that last sentence.

I sat down and zoned out again. That is until I heard Mariah's name.

"Hi! My name's Mariah Jaylene Andrews. My favorite things to do are shopping, trying on clothes, and getting my hair and nails done. Oh, and Veronica is MINE! No one else can have her!" Mariah said.

I watched as Miss Rivers' eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Probably because we were on opposite sides of the room.

"Mariah! No! Stupid dumb dog!" Sammie yelled, making the rest of the class laugh. "My Chica is single dammit!"

"Um. Okay. Thanks Mariah. Samantha Freeman?" Miss Rivers said.

"It's Sammie. Samantha is my mommy. Anyways. Names Sammie Rose Freeman. My fave things to do are chill with my buds. And beat the crap out of bullies. And my stupid half-sister Mariah. " Sammie clapped her hands together.

"Ok. Thanks Sammie. -" miss Rivers started to say. I had zoned out again. She looked at me and raised a brow. That's when I realized I was staring at her. I looked over at Mariah. She was busy glaring daggers at Miss Rivers. I looked away.

"Okay thank you guys. Guess it’s my turn. My name is Katie Rivers. Miss Rivers to you. This is my first year of teaching. I was homeschooled middle school, so I doubled up and graduated faster. I graduated college at 19 and am currently 20. Any questions?" Miss Rivers said.

"Yeah. Uh just one. Are you single?" Leave it to the guys.

"As of right now yes. I am." She answered

"What team do you play for?" Mariah asked. Should've seen that one coming.

"Excuse me?" Miss Rivers asked confused.

Sammie sat up straighter. "Are you straight or gay? Do you like boys or girls." Mariah asked

"Oh, shut up you stupid dumb ass dog!" Sammie yelled.

"That's personal Mariah. Anything else?" Miss Rivers asked.

"Um yeah. If someone said they were gay. What would you say?" Leave it to Sammie.

"Nothing bad dear." She smiled, knowingly.

Then glanced at me. "You guys can talk amongst yourselves. But keep the noise level down."

Oh dear god. She knows we're gay.

Katie's POV

I sat behind my desk looking over my students. There were the jocks, the cheerleaders, the 'nerds', and the group of kids that seemed to lay low. I found myself smiling as I looked at Veronica. She had a faraway look on her face. She looked so adorable. Did I really just think that about my student. She's 16 for crying out loud!

I looked up again to see Veronica looking at me. I gave her a smile, which she returned. That's when I noticed Mariah walking over. I didn't like that girl. She acts like she owns my Veronica. Not my Veronica! Just Veronica. I also noticed Sammie and Veronica get up. Before I could say anything to Mariah, she cut me off.

"Hey. Just thought you should know that Veronica is mine! You can-" she was cut off by Veronica smacking her upside the head.

"I'm not yours Mariah. Nor will I ever be yours. Now stop saying that! It's stupid and nobody listens to you anyways." Veronica said.

"Yeah, you dumb ass mutt! Anyone can flirt with or have Veronica." Sammie said, "with my approval of course."

"f**k off Sammie. Love you Veronica." Mariah said, walking away. Sammie followed. By this point I had gone back to minding my own business. Well not really. I was listening in. But Veronica is my business!

"Sorry about that she's kind if obsessed with me." Veronica said, smiling at me.

"It's fine hun." I said, smiling back.

"Easy for you to say. She's a pain in the ass. She scares away all the cute girls that I want to be with. She didn't scare you away, did she? I hope not. Not in the 'I wanna date you' way. Well, it could be. But-" Awww. Poor girl. She could put a tomato to shame.

I cut her off laughing. "Your fine sweetie. And no. She didn't scare me away." I wanted to add that I'd go out with her in a heartbeat, but no. I realized she said something. "What was that sweetheart?" What's with the pet names?

"Oh I asked if you um....." Veronica trailed off.

"If I?" I encouraged her.

"Never mind. It's not important. It's stupid." She said. And then the stupid bell rang. "Well, I'll see you 6th period study hall Miss Rivers." She smiled.

"See you then honey." I smiled back. I need to pick one name and call her that. Or no pet names at all! No, she needed one. And I now can't wait until 6th period!
