You try to concentrate on class but you keep thinking about the event of this morning. You didn't know there was a school forum but you need to go look at it tonight. You receive a message which gets you out of your mind. It's your mom.
[I won't be there tonight, heat up the leftovers.] It seems your mom is quite busy these days. She works at some kind of agency, she is in contact with all kinds of people... She organizes events if you remember correctly.
"Mr.Doe do you mind listening in class, instead of playing on your phone ?"
You look up and your teacher is right next to you, you can hear your classmates giggle. She grabs your phone and turns around.
"If you want it back, come see me after class."
You sigh, she's your English teacher miss Gonzalez, a thirty-something Latina bombshell with luscious black hair. She dresses quite conservatively but that doesn't stop her students to be entranced, you included. You try to focus for the last 20 minutes and before you know it, it's the end of class, and everybody leaves.
"Well, don't you want your phone back ?" She hands it to you, but as you catch it she keeps it firmly in her hands.
"Before that, won't you tell me what's going on ?" She asks, maybe a little worried.
"It's nothing." You say, but it doesn't convince her.
"I know something's up, you were out of it the whole lesson and your classmates were stealing glances at you." She catches your hand and looks at you in the eyes, which is not without effect to your lonely self. She goes on :
"I'm your teacher, if you need anything, don't hesitate to talk. I know you don't have many friends but that's not a reason to keep everything to yourself."
"Y-yes, it's really nothing." you maintain your gaze.
"Really ?"
"Yes. I'm okay." You say while blushing.
She drops the phone in your hand and smiles.
"Go on then, you have other classes to attend."
The rest of the day is uneventful. You end up eating alone as always and You pass a math exam in the afternoon. You're kinda ok at math, so you don't think you failed. You don't think you're particularly good at anything but you're not bad either.
You end up at home, you eat your leftovers from yesterday and you're ready to investigate the "school forum".
