Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

Chapter 6: Crash Landing 

EMMA’'s POV : 

The next day at school, I was avoiding Mr. Hayes at all costs.

It was the right thing to do.

I just needed to get him out of my system so I could function normally again.

A Mr.Hayes detox, I called it.

I was doing well since Mr.Hayes mostly stayed in his art studio and I didn’t have that class today.

I chose to focus my energies on my friends and studies instead.

Tiff, Carrie, Mark, and I were having lunch in the quad.

It was still September, so the weather was warm and nice.

Mark was telling us gossips he heard from the teachers’ lounge.

Something about Ms.Diaz, our Spanish teacher, was being set up on a date with Mr.Hayes.

I rolled my eyes as soon as I heard his name.

The detox was gonna be harder than I thought.  "Why would Mr.Hayes go out with Ms.Diaz?"

Tiff asked as she took a bite of her sandwich.

"Why not? She’s hot.He’s hot.They're both single,"Carrie replied.

Carrie had a point.

Ms.Diaz had the body of Jennifer Lopez and the face of Penelope Cruz.

She was in her late twenties and it amazed everyone at school how she was still single.

I remembered so many guys had a crush on her when taking her class, my ex Zach would be included in that list.

"I think Mr.Hayes could do better," Tiff interjected.

"Really?"Mark asked in disbelief.

Of course, he would take Ms.Diaz's side.

"He is So gorgeous and tall.He looked a lot like Ashton Kutcher.And he’s got a charming personality too, right Em?"

Carrie turned to me, asking for affirmation. I responded by choking on my chocolate milk.

"Yeah, sure," I mumbled out.

I didn’t enjoy this conversation we were having.

I got away from the art studio so! could stay away from Mr.

Hayes, not to be talking about how gorgeous and tall he is.

I sighed and turned my gaze away, hoping I could just tune out of this debate between which two teachers are hotter.

And suddenly, I saw something resembling a football came flying right at us.

It was followed by a guy who was racing to catch it.

"Watch out!" he yelled and all of us jerked away in response.

He jumped and managed to catch the ball right before it was going to hit my face.

Still, I closed my eyes and put my hands over my face in response.

He caught the ball, yes, but then his body fell and landed straight on my lap, hitting my knees and thighs with a loud thud.

"Ouch!"

"Oh god, I'm so sorry," the guy immediately got up to check on me, "Are you okay?"

"Uh, yeah, I'll be fine. No worries," I nodded.

"I'm Ryan, by the way. You're Emma, right?" he said suddenly and I looked up at him.

Seeing his face, now I remembered who he was Ryan Russo.
