Yes please.

The trip to the hotel is hard. Your body is heavy and knowing it will hurt like a bitch tomorrow doesn’t help things, but you decide to believe Megan’s words and take comfort in knowing this will only get easier from here.

You want to go to sleep immediately, but you promised to have three math assignments ready for tomorrow. You get to work and finish in a couple of hours. You eat your meal and are ready to go to bed.

Then, you hear the sound of a text message.

Emma: Hey, how are you doing?

You: My body doesn’t like me right now, and it will hate me tomorrow.

Emma: Yeah, I heard from Ms. Miller you started today. That bad?

You: That bad. But Emily and Megan were tolerant with me, so I guess I’m thankful for that.

Emma: I don’t know how I feel about you staring at two sexy girls in sportswear while they work out.

You: Believe me, that’s the last of my worries right now. Besides, you have bigger boobs.

She takes a while before answering.

Emma: I won’t dignify that with a response.

You: Sorry. I just miss you.

Emma: I miss you too. Is it stupid? We saw each other today.

You: I saw my literature teacher today, not my sexy girlfriend Emma.

There’s another pause before she answers back.

Emma: Go to sleep you dork.

You: Gladly.

Just after you get changed and are ready for bed, you hear your phone again. A message from an unknown number.

???: Hello? Mr. Walker, this is Mia Owens.

You: Oh. Hello Ms. Owens.

You immediately save her number in your phone.

Ms. Owens: Hello. Sorry, I asked Emma for your number. Was that out of line?

You: I don’t mind. I’m actually kind of happy I now have your number.

Ms. Owens: Hoho, are you? Will you send me late night messages saying how much you miss my classes?

You: I was thinking more along the lines of asking you questions about the paper we need to read, but that sounds good too.

Ms. Owens: Alright, I fell right into that one. I just wanted to contact you to send you the summary of the topic for Friday’s debate. You don’t have to read it now, but be sure to give it a look during the week.

You: Alright. Thank you Ms. Owens.

Ms. Owens: Goodnight Mr. Walker.

You: Goodnight.

It's weird to think the two people closest to you in school are two teachers. It definitely wasn’t like that in high school.
