ADDICTED

Part 1

“Are you alright miss? Do you need to see the nurse?” Miss who still calls people Miss. I looked at this gorgeous creature as he helped me, his mouth was moving but I couldn’t hear a thing he was saying, but I could imagine him say saying marry me and ride with me to my castle and be my princess and have my kids named Declan and Isabelle and we will live happily ever after. I snapped out of my day dreaming when I felt someone shaking me.

“Are you alright miss?” eve3n his voice sounds divine

“Green...” I replied in a sleepy state

“Green I don’t think she is fine, I will take her to the nurse” that snapped me from lala land

“I’m alright” I reluctantly pushed myself from the strong arms of the handsome fellow and tried getting my bearing. A small crowd had gathered around us, I stood up and looking around. This is so embarrassing and it was just day one of high school.

“I’m fine thanks” I turned and ran away from the humiliating situation as fast as I could.

“Hey Berry” I called out to my best friend who stood by my locker.

“Hey Annie” I groaned

“Don’t call me that, my name is Ann” I muttered

“But Annie sounds so cute” she teased and I rolled my eyes at her comment.

“How are we friends again?” I asked in a slightly annoyed voice

“Oh after saving your life, you became indebted to me for life, so you will be my slave till you died” I couldn’t hold the smile that crept on my face, fyi she didn’t save my life by the way, she actually just called my mom after I fell from the monkey bar when we were five at Salt park. Since then we had been friends, best friends.

“Spill” huh?

“I don’t understand, what do you mean by spill?” I asked clearly confused.

“You are five minutes late and you looked all flustered when I saw you, so what happened?” this girls knows me too well

“Oh the most embarrassing thing in my life” I always had a flare of the dramatic, I’ve thinking of majoring in theater art

“And what might that have been?” she asked with a smile on her face

“Oh I think I just met the love of my life, bumped into him and ran away like a fool” I rested my body on my locker and placed my hand on my chest with a sad look on my face.

“Oh no, was he good looking, was he everything you have dreamed of your prince charming” one of the reason Berry and I work very well is because she was as dramatic as I am.

“Ya, he is prefect and he has the perfect green eyes, that I could get lost in them forever. His golden hair falls perfectly on his face, his teeth are all perfectly fit together, his voice gives me butterflies in my stomach and he smells like heaven” I opened my eye after waiting for some time for Berry to give me a dramatic reply but all I saw was her standing with her mouth opened wide looking behind me. No way please kill me, kill me right now. I turned sideways and I saw the handsome stranger standing right behind me. Great this is officially the worse day of my life.

I jumped as I heard the bell rang, leaving berry and the stranger and ran to my first class without looking back, thank you God, Jesus, Mary and all heavenly bodies by saving me with the bell, hopefully I will never see him till I graduate but who was I kidding fate had something interesting planned for me. Math was officially my favorite class and when I saw the handsome stranger walking into class, I did my best to disappear and the way he looked at me and walked to the board told me he heard every single thing I said. Wait a minute why was he walking to the front of the class, why was he writing math on the board, why was he writing Mr. Lawson, what the hell is going on? Could this day get…. No I’m not asking that question because something bad always happens when someone says that.

“Good morning class, my name is Mr. Peter Lawson but you can call me Mr. Lawson, I will be taking a roll call so I can put a name to all the amazing faces I’m seeing right now” I could hear some girls giggling, great I’m not the only one who has a crush on my teacher but I think every girl or even guys would have a crush on him, I mean who wouldn’t want that perfection…

“Annie Jefferson” I snapped out of my thought as I looked around the classroom and all eyes were on me

“Do you have a habit of spacing out or did that just start today Miss Jefferson” ugh Miss Jefferson, I want him to call me Ann not Miss Jefferson.

“I’m sorry sir, I guess I’m nervous, this isn’t middle school anymore and I really like making a good impression”

“A good impression on whom if I may ask?” he asked as he raised his left eyebrow slightly.

“On myself and my teachers” I replied in a low voice with my head bowed low

“First, when talking to me make sure you keep an eye contact, not just me, when talking to someone you should always keep an eye contact, it shows you are confident and you know what you are saying, even when you are wrong” you could hear the murmurs from students around.

“When I said even when you are wrong I never meant for you to be arrogant but you should always be confident so no one would step on you. Which brings us to our first topic for the semester, probability” he turned and walked towards the board and wrote the topic on the board. What’s the probability that we would end up together in the future one in a million years. The bell rung after thirty five minutes and I heard my name.

“Miss Jefferson, I would like to speak to you for some few minutes before you leave to your next class.” I sat down and waited for the class room to clear, as soon as the class room cleared, I raised my head and saw Mr. Lawson watching me, it was like he could see through my soul, his walked towards my table with his eyes focused on mine, I had never been in love but I have a feeling this is love I was in love with my teacher.

I jumped when I heard a thud in front of me, so obviously he had been talking and I was in lala land again. “Can you stop day dreaming and focus on what I’m saying, if you aren’t interested I could pick someone else” oh I’m definitely interested in anything you have to give me

“I’m sorry, I spaced out, what are we talking about?” I handed that well

“You space out a lot Miss Jefferson, I asked if you would like to be my T.A, I saw your past scores and you are good at math I mean very good and I think it would help with your collage application and you also help your class mates” yes yes YES I get to work very closely to him every day, you have no idea how much fun that would be and I can get him to fall in love with me.

“I would love to; it would be my honor to be your assistant.” I replied with a calm voice hiding my excitement

“Good, those are the materials that you would need, better hurry up you have two minutes to your next class” I grabbed the books after muttering a thank you and ran to my next class. I can’t wait to tell Berry everything that happened after killing her at lunch.

“YOU are so dead, I will kill you but not before I tell you what happened to me today” I told berry as I sat down on the chair beside her.

“I’m so sorry I was going to say something but I froze”

“Who wouldn’t freeze when met face to face with a Greek god like that” I sigh and melted into my seat.

“Hey besty!” I turned as I saw the girl from this morning.

“Who the hell are you?” did I tell you berry has a temper, she might be petite but she sure can stand her ground and take on someone who is times two her size.

“Emily Aaron’s baby sister best friend, who the hell are you” the burnet asked Berry

“Her name is Ann and I’m her best friend” I sat watching the both girls fighting over me while drinking from my juice box. It would be best for me to interfere and clear the air but this was so much fun.

“well we can all be besties, there’s no harm in that” she placed her tray and she sat down on our table, berry and I stared at each other and back at the brunet whose name we found out was Emily. She told us the story of how she got her pet dog while eating not that she cares if we were listening or not she just kept talking. To be honest her story was hilarious but we weren’t going to tell her that.

“Well we had a nice chat, I’m having a party this weekend and you are both invited, see you later bestie” she walked over and gave me a peck on my cheek.

“What just happened?” berry asked

“I think we just made a new friend” I replied

“One who is obviously obsessed with your brother” she snorted

“Looks like someone is jealous?” I sang as we both grabbed our tray and headed to dump the waste in the trash

“No I’m not” she murmured hiding her face

“Then why are you blushing and hiding it” I teased her

“Oh shut up” she groaned and I laughed. We walked out and headed towards the only class we both had together P.E. I was never one for sports but it’s my favorite class since my favorite person was in that class.

As the day ended, I headed home with my brother who I didn’t see in school all day. “Hey hon how was school today?” my mom asked from the kitchen where she was preparing lunch. Our house wasn’t as big as a mansion but its cozy and enough for us.

“Mom could we go to the salon and get some new clothes for me this weekend?” I asked waiting for a reply but I got none.

“Mom?” I turned and saw her standing by the doorway with tears in her eyes. My baby is all grown and finally wants a makeover.”

“mom I never said a makeover I just said I needed some new clothes and need to change my hair that’s all” I replied but I couldn’t hide the grin from my face and I knew I made my mom happy but the roller coaster ride will begin when my heart gets broken.
