“OmigodOmigodOmigod”!!!!!!!
Aeryn was shaking. “wha- why- !”
Jumbled thoughts raced through her head as she collapsed
against the classroom door. Had he just-
kissed her? Really kissed her? Whywhywhywhywhywhywhy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She slid down the door to the ground, replying the moment,
her face buried in her hands. She was so
absorbed that she had forgotten about where she was…
“Ehem.” A sharp voice
penetrated her thoughts.
Aeryn looked up. “Oh,
hi, Mrs. Danon.”
“Aeryn…”
“Yes?”
“Would you like to explain to us what just happened between
you and your boyfriend?”
“Oh, he’s not my…”
Her voice trailed off. Mrs. Danon
was tapping her foot, and behind her Aeryn’s friend Celia was jerking her head
towards the desk.
“Sorry.” Aeryn
muttered, scrambling off the floor and into her chair. As soon as she sat down, Celia leaned over
and (bluntly) demanded,
“What the HELL just happened?”
Aeryn blushed again.
“I don’t want to talk about it,” she muttered, sinking lower into her
seat.
Celia observed her with intelligent brown eyes. “Uh huh.”
“Oh shutup”. Aeryn
glowered at her. I gave YOU privacy when
you had your first kiss!”
“True, but- Wait, he
was your FIRST KISS?” The shock was evident
in Celia’s face as it paled. “But- I
thought you said you kissed that Gabe dude in 6th grade—“
“I lied, Celia.”
Aeryn rolled her eyes. “I can do
that, ya know.”
“but you SAID--”
“Said doesn’t mean swear, Celia. Can we get off this topic?”
Celia rolled her eyes.
“No, we cannot!
“CELIA—“
“Excuse me, Miss Kodama! Miss Dyane! Would you like to tell the class why George
Washington was not at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777?”
Both teens blushed furiously. “I can’t say, Ma’am,” Celia muttered
embarrassedly.
“I thought so.” Mrs.
Danon said dryly. Detention, both of you. See me after school. Now, continuing on,--”
The bell rang, cutting her off and the room was full of the
sounds of scraping chairs and happy chatter as the students headed off to
lunch. Aeryn sighed as she took the pink
slip from her teacher.
This was going to be
a long day…
