Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

EMMA’s POV: 

It was the first week back to school.

The last semester of my last year in high school.

I was walking down the hallway and I couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.

I still remembered the first day of freshman year, I was a shy kid going through my classes with Tiff and Carrie.

Tiff pushed me to be more social and Carrie pushed me in the academics.

Then I met Zach and we dated.

Even though he turned out to be a total douchebag, we did have some great memories around these halls.

To be very honest, I might actually miss this place.

I had a free period right before lunch today, meanwhile Tiff and Carrie had classes.I decided to hit the library and checked my emails on my laptop.I had just finished all my college applications last night.

It was sent, it was out there, there was nothing else I could do but wait.

I sat down on an empty table and pulled my laptop out.I opened my emails and of course there were no new emails since last night.

It was silly of me, obviously these colleges would take months before replying back to me.

With nothing else to do, I thought about catching up on homework.

But as I pulled my Calculus notebook out, I was reminded that this wouldn't even matter that much.

College applications were already out there.

What does it matter if I did this homework or not? Sighing to myself, I put the notebook away.I wasn’t in the mood to read about parabolas and the x and y tangents.

"Getting the case of the senioritis are we?"

Tyler appeared in front of me.

He smiled brightly and took the empty seat in front of me.

"You have a free period too?"

"Yup.And lunch is next,"

"Me too.I don’t know what to do, I have so much time all of a sudden,"

"I know right?" he said and he pulled out a pack of candy from his backpack "Gummy worms?"

"Don't mind if I do," I smiled brightly at the sight of gummy worms.My second favorite gummy snack next to the bears, of course.

"So, thanks again for having me at dinner.Your parents are really cool,"

Tyler said as he watched me devour his snack.

"Yeah, they're alright," I munched away, 

"I'm just glad you could eat it.My mom and I are never great at cooking, but she insisted that I should learn.She wants to make sure I can at least make pasta for when I'm in college,"

"College.Ugh,"he shuddered at the word, 

"Sometimes I just feel like I’m tired of learning, you know? Two years of middle school, four years of high school, and another four years for college.When does it all end?"

"You're not excited about college?"I narrowed my eyebrows at him.

"I don't know.I'm not buying into the hype.College degrees no longer guarantee jobs like it used to in the old days.Sometimes I wonder if I even need one,"he sighed.

 "So, what are your plans if not college?"

"I'm still gonna go to college.Just for the heck of it.And to make my parents happy,"

"But if you can do anything in the world, anything at all.What would you have done?"

"Honestly, I wanna join the peace corps.I'm gonna do it after I'm done with college,"

"That's so good,"I nodded approvingly.
