ch 6 I walked in and went up to the front. "Well hello Ms. Carlin" Ashley greeted with a smile as the students talked amungst them selves "Hi , so how was class today?" I asked leaning against her desk beside her "It was great, we were talking about Marie Antonette" "Oh, no wonder you were laughing. I bet everyone had a nice, dirty comment on her" "Do you have one?" she asked ammused with a raised eyebrow and I chuckled "Maybe a few, but I’ll keep them to my self" I smiled and she returned it gazing into my eyes. She was looking at me ammused but she also looked like she could read a story from my eyes…. like I was a book. I smiled but I couldn’t look away. Something about her imagination trying to understand me had me in a trance "You know what Spencer" her face turned a little more serious then but she still held my eyes with hers "I don’t know why you’re here, or what exactly your here for, but I’m glad you are" she stated and I physically gulped. How could she just look into my eyes and see right through me? Sure I don’t tell lies that often, but it’s like she can tell who I really am. Even through my half truths. To be completely honest with you, I was scared to death when she said that. Not only because, hello! I’m an under cover cop! It’s more like she can see into my soul. Noone has ever made me feel like saying that! She smiled and I gave her a timid smile back "Maybe I was just sent here to make your life hell?" I asked and she chuckled "Yeah, that’s gotta be it!" she responded ammused again. A boy’s raised hand drew both of our attention "Yes David?" she asked and the boy smiled "Will you be offering us help with our studies after school?" he asked sounding genuine so I smiled knowing he didn’t mean anything perverted…. like I would deffinitely have "Of course, I’ll be in here until 4" she answered and the boy nodded as he went back to random conversation "So, how long are you suspended for?" she asked and I smirked "I’m not. I just have detention today and thursday after school" I still held the smirk but she did something I’m sure I am already in love with. She rolled her eyes. Oh shut up! It’s so cute on her! "Wow, how did you swing that one?" she asked and I shrugged "My charm. Oh by the way, I’m totally hooking Ms.Duarte up with my brother" I informed and Ashley chuckled "I thought your family lived in New York" "Well my mom is coming for a visit in a couple of weeks and he may come with her, so I figure if they talk and get to know each other she could get him to settle down" I answered honestly an she noded in understanding "Plus" I nudged her gently with my elbow "I gotta get her attention off my woman" I smirked and she just rolled her eyes again. Awww. "I am not your woman" Ashley replied but the look in her eyes told me I could try and maybe end in success. "Yet" I whispered boldly. She quivered so I smirked again. Go me! "You are too much Spencer Carlin" I just gave her a cheeky smile. Cause I’m a cheeky bastard. "Please! I could have you with the snap of my fingers!" I stated cockily and she gave me another eye roll. Ok, this is rediculous! Next time she rolls her eyes she better be moaning my name. "What ever you say. I have something called will power" "What’s that? I’ve never heard of that when it comes to me" "Careful, your ego will sufficate the entire class" she joked and I smiled. Maybe I won’t have to walk home today after all. All I have to do is ask "Oh, hey sinse you’ll be here till 4 you wanna give me a lift? I mean if it’s ok" "I will, but I have to pick Anna up from daycare" she informed "Oh sweet! I get to see my girlfriend!" I said sarcastically and Ashley smiled "I think she just wants you so that I’ll want you. She does that" she shook her head "So you and your 2 year old neice share women huh?" I asked and she laughed whole hartedly "No, I’ve never fallen for it" just as she finished the bell rang. I stood straight fromwhere I had been leaning on her desk and walked towards the door "There’s a first time for everything" I stated proudly and she smiled as I left. Detention was easy, we ran a couple of laps and Ms. Duarte gave me another gym shirt to wear cause she knew I didn’t have my t shirt at the moment. Detention ended at 330 so I descided to take a PG shower. As I walked out I saw that the office door was still open. I pulled out my cell and called my brother Glen. I needed to check up on him anyway "Hey kiddo, what’s the haps these days?" He doesn’t know how to answer a phone with a simple Hello "Not much ass eyes" gotta love pet names "How are you?" "I’m good, currently out of work, but it’s all good. Of course mom and dad are suggesting I go back to school" "Well, you should. Hey you coming down here with mom in a couple of weeks?" I asked and he chuckled "Damn, I was hoping to surprise you, but yeah, I was planning on it. Why? I swear mom went over everything with me twice!" "I know she did glen, and I trust you… Actually, I have a friend I want you to meet" "Is she hot?" Glen asked and I rolled my eyes with a chuckle. Of course thatr’s his first question. "She’s a gym teacher" I informed "Sweet, wait, like the gym teacher that stares at her students in the shower?" he asked and I laughed "No, actually… maybe. I think she’s bi, but I know she likes guys" "Ok, fine, give me her number and I’ll call her" "She’s my teacher" I rolled my eyes "Like I would have her number. She has yours though" "Oh sweet, can you sneek me a picture?" he asked "No, you’ll just have to wait till you meet her in person" "What ever. So I’m bored. What are you up to?" "Just standing outside of her office debating on just handing her the phone or not" "You totally should" he stated and I smiled. I walked into the office with a smile. I knocked on the open door and she turned in her chair to face me. "Yes Spencer?" she asked confused "You have a call, can you take it?" I asked and she rolled her eyes "It’s your brother isn’t it?" she asked and I nodded excitedly as she held out her hand "Hello?" she answered and I chuckled as she giggled. I sat in a chair beside her as I browsed through her computer for pictures. I saw all kinds. Encluding her children and a few random students that were questionable. Between their mindless talking and giggleing then giggleing more, I had tuned them out as I checked my email. After about 10 minutes ended the conversation with a promise to call later "So, what do you think?" I pried and she smiled giddily "I so hate you right now" she stated with a smile handing me my phone back. I was confused and she rolled her eyes. What is up with the eye rolling? Did I miss a memo or something? "You could have waited till he got here to let me meet him. Now I’m going to be all crazy about him by the time he gets here!" she was obviously trying to sound annoyed but it so wasn’t working "Oh" I laughed and she playfully slapped my arm "Well, I’m glad you like him" "Me too, so what does he look like?" she asked and I rolled my eyes. Yes! It was my turn. Not this again, people are so superficial "I guess you will find out when you meet him" I stated and she smiled "You’re such a romantic Spencer" I reciprocated her smiled as I stood "I j
ust want everyone to be happy is all. If you insist you can call me cupid though" "Shouldn’t you be headed home?" she questioned and I nodded with a smile "I’ll see you in class tomorrow" I stated as I left with a satisfied smile. While I was on her computer I sent some of the random photos to my email and saved them. Who knows? They could be Aiden’s little helpers. I made quick work of getting back to Ashley’s history classroom
