Tommy Baxter had turned eighteen on after new years and was getting ready to finish his senior year in school. He wanted to finish school doing something he would be remembered for years to come.
Tommy Baxter thought he was pulling off a great prank at the beginning of the week; he bought a dozen rolls of plastic wrap and brought it to school. He then took the plastic wrap and started to wrap it around Mrs. Holland's desk. He pushed her chair in and wrapped off the end of the wrap around one of the desk handles, then he went around in circles.
Even though Mrs. Holland was the hottest teacher in the school, she was also one of the strictest. Earlier in the school year she sent Tommy to the principal for arguing over a bad grade he received that cost him to sit out one game during football season. Just as she got the to the end of the last roll in she walked catching him red handed.
"Tommy Baxter, what do you think you are doing young man?" She asked him firmly.
"Oh shit, I mean Mrs. Holland." He stumbled with the words as the whole class laughed.
"Missy would please go over and ask Mr. Collins if I could borrow his scissors." She asked one her other students. "Tommy you just got yourself detention the rest of the week, when Missy comes back you will cut this plastic wrap and clean up the mess."
"Yes ma'am." He said looking down at the floor.
"The rest of you can turn to page twenty four in you work books and start on the lesson." She said as Missy came in handing her the scissors.
Tommy took the scissors from her and cut the wrap off of the desk and stuffed the whole mess into the garbage can.
Class seemed to take forever to end that day and he could feel his teachers' hot glare at him the whole time. The bell rang and class was over, he went through the rest of the day dreading his impending detention. When the final bell rang he trudged up to Mrs. Holland's room, she told him to take a seat and work on homework.
During his detention her cell phone rang, she looked at the number and frowned, and then she flipped it open. It was her husband calling to cancel his Valentine's Day plans for them, making her even unhappy.
"Robert this is the third year in a row you had to cancel our plans and go out of town for work." She stated.
"Yes I know your work is very important to you, but what about me?" She asked angrily. "I'm not important to you?"
"Whatever Robert, go on your trip, see you when you get home." She said sadly slamming the phone shut.
"Tommy do you have plans for tonight?" She asked.
"Uh, no Mrs. Holland, I was just going to bum around the house as usual." He replied.
"Well I have reservations at that new romantic inn just outside of town, it's already paid for so there is no sense of the dinner going to waste, even if I do let the room go to waste, would you care to join me for dinner?" She asked him in the most civil tone she had ever spoken to him with.
"Sure, let me call my folks, I will just tell them I'm going to visit a friend." He said pulling out his own cell phone.
He made the call and she closed up her classroom, the two of them left for the parking lot. They got into her car and she drove them for about twenty miles to the inn, Tommy looked at the place and thought he was underdressed for it.
They got out of the car and headed into the place, many of the staff stared at Tommy with his older teacher as they headed for the table. The waitress came over and took their orders for drinks and appetizers. She brought back a large coke for Tommy and a bottle of wine for Mrs. Holland.
"Well this sure looks nice." Tommy said looking around the place.
"Yeah, it is." She replied pouring herself a second glass of wine.
"So how long have you and your husband been married?" He asked trying to make conversation.
"Twelve years." She replied. "We were supposed to start trying to have children now that we are both in settled into our careers and we are in our mid thirties."
"So are you going to quit teaching when you get pregnant or are you going to go back to work?" He asked.
