“Bette, could you show me where the Girl’s Locker room is? I need to shower before class at half.”

I gulped. Tina. Showering.

“Sure,” I said, attempting to sound cool with the idea of her showering.. TOTALLY NAKED, like 10 FEET AWAY FROM ME.

“Stop thinking about me naked Bette,” Tina said.

“What?!” I said shocked. Tell me, I did not say that out loud. Fuck! No wait, I didn’t. What the hell?

“See, I knew it, the minute I said shower, you just thought of me naked.”

God, this was something else. Tina was on the ball. She knew everything. I could hardly deny it, could I? But could I admit it? I shrugged, and moved on down the corridor.

“Uhm, Miss, the showers, are down there in to the left.”

She paused, looking at me, “Arn’t you going to show me how to work them?” Oh My God, now she was just playing with me, I need to get back on track, put her into place.

“No Miss, as much as I’d love to, I’d end up distracted by your hot body, fuck you senseless, and then you’d wouldn’t be faking the sounds you had with Matthew yesterday.” KA-CHING! “Miss, I’ll see you in class later.” And I gave her a quick peck on the cheek, before I disappeared.

Outside, four corridors away, I slumped against the lockers. “Why don’t you just go back in there, kiss her senseless and then do what you said you’d do.” Coz it’s not right! God, not only are you the horny and angry, irrational part of my brain, but you also seem to be the immoral one too! Jeeze.

And so very unsurprisingly the day… dragged by. Slowly. Very slowly. Excruciatingly slowly. And I hated it.

It was the last class of the day. I had managed to avoid, Tina, Ms K, all day so far, but I could hardly miss English, when she knew full well I was in school. Sneaking quickly I sat into my seat, beside Alice. Melanie was still trying to get my attention. Eugh, and once again I was totally not in the mood for her. Finally, she came in. Having showered and changed that morning, and me having not seen her all day, she looked good. “God you should have kissed her then” I know. I totally should have.

Tina, sorry I mean, Miss Kennard was wearing a suit, a power suit, and god, did it hug her in all the right places. Her hair was falling in soft waves around her shoulders and when she moved then would brush and flow in these mesmerizing movements.

The class, was serious, and we got a lot of work done. Pretty impressive for a substitute teacher. Nobody really wanted to mess with her after yesterday anyway.

When the bell rang, everyone rushed out. I waited.

“Bette, I’m heading for a ‘study session’ with Dana, i’ll call ya’ later ok?” Alice said, rushing out herself, knowing that I wanted to talk to Ms K.

We were alone.

“So Miss, want a lift home?”
