“Really?” I started giggling, excited at the thought. I put the car into the next gear, and sped up a little, we were about a minute from the school and we still hadn’t passed Ms K. I mean Tina.

“Jesus Bette, I mean seriously you could’ve just told me that, it wasn’t that hard.” Alice said. “By the way, this music is really cool, I like it.”

“Yeah so do I,” I sighed, “Okay, Al, I think, she’s already there. Crap. She was probably playing with me all along.”

“Stop being so negative, she could hardly be that fast.” I gave Al a ‘oh you bet my ass she is fast’ look.

As I pulled the car into my token place, I saw Ms Kennard, languidly sitting on the grass, waiting for me. “God-Friekiee-Teekie-Damnit!! Why did you have to pick Al up?” Shut up Mr.Mind!

Al and I got out of the car, and Al excused herself to go to her locker and the library, although I doubted it would be open at this time, no one was due in school for another half hour. I thanked Al, with a look. Her smugness could be felt flying right at me, but I didn’t care.

I tried to saunter over to Ms K, who was leaning on her arms, outstretched behind her, but somehow, I managed to stumble. Twice. I was once again blushing profusely.

“Okay, Okay,” I sighed, mustering up the courage to look at her, “You win. I guess that means I’m your donkey for the rest of term.” I smiled shyly, turning my head, so she didn’t realise how ridiculously giddy I was to be able to see her, if not grab coffee with EVERY morning!

“Yes, that it does.” She agreed, jumping up from where she sat. Oh wow, she was like so hot right now. Her hair was tied back, but was falling loose around the edges, and there was this gorgeous sheen across her skin. I didn’t notice her moving so close to me. She was doing that swagger thing.

“But, Bette, because you were such a good loser, do you think that you deserve that kiss anyway?”

“Uhm.. uhgh.” Was all I could really muster. “Bollocks Bette!! Pull it together, HOT teacher wanting to kiss you. The one couldn’t get out of your head last night!” I didn’t even have the energy to condescend my mind this time!
