“Right then, Miss, I should probably get on the road.”

She walked up to me, in an attempt to hand me the bag, I tried to pass her, to put my mug, back into the kitchen, we both realised it a little late. And we bumped into eachother.
“Sorry”
“Sorry”
“Whoops”
“My bad”
“Coffee”
“Bag”
“Kitchen”
“Car”

“Right,” I sighed, god this was amazing, and I could smell her so well in this proximity. I wonder what her perfume is. She was still smiling that naughty smirk. “God Bette, this is so cool! You have a new HOT teacher who smiles naughty smirks at you.” Oh fuck, seriously, I really needed to do something about this.

With somewhat more confidence than before I handed my coffee mug, took the bag from her, and headed to the door. I gave her one last look, flashed her my Porter smile, gave her my Porter wink and god only knows why, but I blew a kiss her way and said; “Race you there Tina.” Ha, i had seen some paperwork, with Tina written on it.

And I left her. Again. But this time. It was better.

I leaped into my car, with her bag. Hoping I’d be gone before she left. Too late. She had just locked her front door and ran out to the car.

“Bette, hold up a second,” she had a small towel with her and a bottle of water. Taking a final slug out of it she handed them both to me.

“I’ll wait for you at the school Miss.”

“Bette, I’ll make you a deal.” She beamed at me, o oh, this doesn’t sound good! “If you beat me to the school, you win a kiss. If you lose, you bring my stuff into school for the rest of the year. Deal?”

I was flummoxed! Was she serious? A kiss?

“Deal,” I said, looking her straight in the eye. But before the word had left my lips, she was already pegging it down the road.

I was too surprised to react. I quickly put the car in gear, pulled off the curb, and zoomed towards Alice’s. Where the hell was Ms K? I mean Tina? She was nowhere to be seen, was she really that quick? FUCK!
