Who Said School is Boring? (GirlxGirl)

Chapter Twenty Six- Kids Won't be Kids

Watching her from my seat, I couldn't help but admire just how beautiful she really was. Words couldn't describe just how she took my breath away with one smile. By now I was completely head over heels, smitten with her, and even though I tried my best to ignore her, it was proving harder and harder to do.

Perhaps it was the fact that we hadn't spent much time together, that was making me feel this way. Or perhaps it was just how perfect she was...

"Miss Foster, are you with us today or are you too busy daydreaming?" A couple of my classmates snickered in front of me, making me feel self conscious for having zoned out while staring at my teacher.

"Sorry Miss Reed." I muttered in response, focusing my attention on the test book in front of me.

"Would anybody else like to answer the question that Dylan could not?" I felt my face flush with heat, as the embarrassment sunk in. The feeling was made only worse by Kim raising her hand.

"It was passed in 1933, by Roosevelt." Though she didn't turn to face me, I could see the smug look on Kim's face, knowing that she had made me feel even smaller.

The rest of the lesson passed without any more drama, I kept my head down and Phoenix chose not to pick on me. As the bell rang out to dismiss us,  I was quick to pile my stuff into my backpack, wanting to escape the classroom as quickly as possible.

"Dylan, would you mind staying behind a moment so that I could speak with you?"

"I can't Miss, sorry. My form tutor said that if I'm late to registration again, I'll have to spend a weeks worth of free periods in detention."

It was a lie, and not a very good one at that, but it was enough of an excuse to leave the classroom. I gave Reuben a small wave to say goodbye to him, and made my way to the front doors of the building, choosing to bunk registration all together and grab a coffee before picking Glenn up from school.

I had promised earlier in the week to take him out for dinner on Friday night, and I planned to stick to that promise. Part of me wanted to ask Phoenix to join us, even if it meant driving a further distance. After a small debate, I had decided against it, wanting to spend more quality time with my brother. Not to mention Phoenix had been distancing herself from me lately and I didn't want to seem needy or like I was intruding on her personal life.

With a coffee in hand, I waited outside Glenn's school for him to finish. Halfway through reading a news article on how were supposedly getting stupider, a message from Phoenix came though. Clicking on it immediately, I read the one sentence text.

'Fancy a movie night with cuddles tomorrow? Xx'

I couldn't help but smile at my phone, the idea of it sounded perfect, and it immediately put my mind to rest. I might have been angry with her only seconds earlier, but my anger had melted away at the thought of being cuddled up on the sofa with her. Her arms wrapped around me, pulling me closer to her warmth-

"Shit!" The profanity escaped my lips, as I spilt the hot coffee down myself, patting it away just as quickly as it had landed.

Glenn had managed to sneak up on me, and without warning had tapped on the glass window beside my head. Laughing he walked around to the other side of the car and jumped into the passenger seat.

"You know you can come into the school and pick me up right?"

I was very well aware of that fact. I just happened to have no intention of ever going inside the school grounds, sitting outside the gates in my car, was close enough for me. Plus it saved Glenn the embarrassment of me being there.
