-----------------------------------
It was Monday morning, and I saw that Sydney had reminded everyone that the first committee meeting would be today. As usual, I got up and ready for school.
I had arrived before the rush and managed to catch Courtney. "Hey!" I shouted from behind her.
She turned around and said, "Hey! How are you?"
"Fine. Uhm, do you happen to have any news about last night? Did your mom say anything?"
"No, and that worries me. She saw the picture and knows that's my bra. That was one we bought last time we went bra shopping."
That put a pleasant image into my mind.
"Shouldn't it be good that she hasn't said anything?"
"Not with my mom. Usually, that means she's cooking up a pretty bad punishment or elaborate scheme to make you feel guilty."
"Damn! No offense, but your mom is a psychopath."
She laughed, "Yeah, no, I get that. I think she is, too, at times. I hope it's nothing too bad. She doesn't care about me having sex because she's the one who put me on the pill, but having sex on church grounds is a major no-no."
"Yeah, I figured. Keep me posted, and let me know if I can do anything to make things better."
"There is one thing," she said flirtatiously, "but I think that'll get me even in more trouble."
"It could be worth...", before I could finish my sentence, Courtney interrupted me.
"Shit! Morgan is pulling in. We'll talk later. I don't want her to create another scene. Bye!" she gave me a quick peck on the cheek before pushing me away.
I walked towards the school in a daze. As I walked into the school, Zoe was waiting for me.
"Hello there, loverboy," she said.
"Huh," I said, breaking out of my trance. "Loverboy? What are you talking about?"
"I can see it all over your face. Courtney?"
"What? No! We're just friends. I told you this before. It won't work out between us, you know, because it'll be a long distance when you go to college."
"Uh, huh. So her kissing you on the cheek right there was nothing then?"
"Ok then? We had sex. Does that mean we're in love? You had sex with Grayson? Does that mean you guys are in love?"
She shut up real quick. I knew I had hit a sensitive topic, but I wanted her to open up with me.
She tried staring me down, but I refused to back down. She gave up and said, "Fine. Skip first period?"
"Gladly."
We drove to the park, where she didn't say anything for a while. I wanted to let her open up on her own, so I didn't push her. Eventually, she did.
"Remember the other day when you asked where Grayson and I were? Well, what you thought was correct."
"Hmm, I don't remember what I thought. Could you be specific?"
She looked at me coldly and said, "You know."
"No, I don't. Could you remind me?"
She let out a sigh of frustration and said, "Grayson and I had sex. Ok?"
A cocky smile came across my face. "Do I get a vivid story this time like Halloween, or do I leave it to my imagination?"
"Ewww, no. Why would you imagine me having sex?"
"Uhm, because you gave me a super-detailed story last time. And in case you forgot, we had sex!"
"Shut up! Don't remind me."
"Please, you loved it. I fucked you so good that you forgot to put your clothes back on. I bet I'm a better fuck than Grayson."
She didn't agree or deny, which piqued my interest. For a little morning ego boost, I wanted to hear her say it.
"I am, aren't I? Maybe you should call it off with Grayson and hook up with me instead."
She slapped me on the arm, giving me the coldest stare ever, and with an equally cold, "No."
"I'll take that as a yes."
"Enough about me. How about you and Ms.Santiago?"
"One more time this Saturday. I'm surprised she agreed after the shit I pulled on her. I keep thinking that I can talk her into keeping our relationship going, but I know it's unlikely."
"Enjoy it while you can. Those few weeks or months or whatever when Grayson and I weren't doing it, it was tough."
"Oh, I plan to. I know you wanted to keep the conversation off you, but can I ask you a few questions?"
"Fine, but no guarantees that I answer them."
"Fair enough. Question number one. Why go back to Grayson? After he said he wanted to pimp you out to his friends, you seemed pretty mad. What changed?"
"First off, he didn't want to pimp me out to his friends. He just asked if I was interested in having sex with his friends. We started talking, and he admitted he was in the wrong. I felt that he understood and got back together with him."
"Ok, next question. Are you in love with him?"
"No! I mean, at least, I don't think so. The sex with him is good, not as good as it was with you, but it feels different."
"Ha! So you do admit that I am better!"
She looked at me, and I apologized for interrupting her.
"Happy? As I was saying, the connection between us feels different. It's sex but with something extra. It's like having sex with someone you care about. I guess the fact that it's my teacher also adds an element of risk to it. But the more we had sex, the more comfortable we got with each other. We started having serious conversations, hanging out in private, almost dating. But sort of like you and Courtney, it's going to be long distance in the early stages. My ex and I split up even though we had been dating for a few years because of that same reason."
"Ok, final question. Hypothetically, say he asked you to sleep with his friends again. Would you?"
"No!" As she slapped my arm again. "What is it with you?"
"Hey, I'm not the cuck. Grayson is."
At that moment, her phone dinged. I asked, "Grayson?"
"Yeah. Asking if I'm ok and where I am. Let's head back. I don't think I can spend any more time with you."
"Really? How about we hop in the back seat? I bet I can change your mind."
"You are so insufferable."
I laughed as we drove back to the school. We didn't make it in time for the first period, so we thought we'd hang around and walk in for the second period. As we were talking, Zoe realized something. "Shit! I had a quiz in the first period."
"Relax, I'll take care of it."
"What?"
"Follow me," as I led her into the school. We walked straight to the nurse's office, where I knocked to make sure it was ok to go inside.
"Come in!" I heard from inside.
I walked in, followed by Zoe.
"Hey, Jake," Nurse Mapleton greeted me. "What's the matter today? How can I help you?"
"The help is not for me. It's for my friend here, Zoe."
"Oh. What can I do for you, Zoe?"
"Uhm, I'm not sure. He asked me to follow him, and I did."
"Ok, how can I help your friend, Jake?"
"She had a quiz this period, but as you can see, she missed it. So, I was wondering if you could write her a note saying she was in here that would let her retake the quiz later?"
"Hmm, sure, but you are getting too comfortable, Jake. I can't keep on giving you passes like this."
"I know, I swear I won't ask again for a while."
"A while?"
"Yeah, I mean who knows when I'll need it. It's nice to know I have this in my back pocket."
"Yeah, and you may not have it for much longer." She grabbed her notepad and scribbled something on it, tore it, and handed it to Zoe. "Let me know if you have any issues with it. I'll talk to your teacher and sort it out."
"Thank you so much," Zoe said.
We hung out in her office until the bell rang to go to our next classes. During chemistry class, Madison reminded me of the photoshoot and that it had to happen that week.
At lunch, I passed by Nurse Mapleton's office as she was closing up to go on lunch as well.
