An "I" for Idiot

I closed the classroom door behind me as I walked slowly back to my seat. The class was quiet as I plopped down on my chair. I then exhaled as I raised my hand. Mrs. Andolus took out her second cigarette and lit the end of it. Her eyes flicked over to look at me as she said.

"What is Lyra?"

I stood up as I said.

"I apologize for abusing a work as honorable as that of Shakespeare in such a way. Please don't fail my group for a mistake like that. I was the one who wrote the script after all. Instead of giving all of my group members an F, just give me one."

The familiar smell of tobacco filled the room as Mrs. Andolus puffed. The edge of her lips turned upwards as she burst into laughter. I sighed.

Fuck. If she was laughing, the shit is worse than I had expected. A second later the door opened as a thunderous Kaden walked in. He didn't even bother to look at me when he walked past me. The sound of his chair being pulled back as he sat filled my ears. I then said.

"Again Mrs. Aldonus. Please just fail me. Everyone else in the group worked really hard and deserve A's."

"Lyra, could you please shut up?"

"Yes ma'am."

I then sat down with my mouth closed. The class erupted into laughter as I felt my face flush in shame.

"Look Lyra, you know that I lose my attention quickly right?"

I nodded.

"You also know that I am not a conventional teacher right?"

I nodded.

"Don't nod to that dumbass!"

I shook my head. Mrs. Aldonus then took out an ashtray from her large leopard print bag. She then squished her cigarette butt against the ash tray. Her red lipstick stained at the end of the cigarette. I then walked over to the windows and cracked open a couple.

Mrs. Aldonus then screeched like a banshee.

"DUMBASS DON'T OPEN THE WINDOWS!"

I stopped midway in opening the third window.

"But we'll all choke to death in this room with all of your smoking."

"THEN CHOKE TO DEATH! NOW MR. BELDON IS GOING TO COME I-"

"Smoking once more now aren't we Mrs. Aldonus?"

Everyone turned their heads to the classroom door to see a tall handsome man occupy the doorway. To call him handsome is an understatement. His model-like looks made men jealous and girls swoon. HIs short black hair contrasted with his clear gray eyes. He was the youngest teacher in the school as he was a new college graduate. Most girls crushed on him instead of other high school boys. Much to the guys annoyance. Kaden was the other contender which girls appreciated as well. Despite his looks, Mr. Beldon was cutthroat. If the school had a discipline officer he would be it.

Mr. Beldon looked over at me and smiled. He then waved his hand and said.

"L-y-r-a! How are you today?!"

I sighed. Despite all that I've said earlier, this man was absolutely stuck to me like glue. I once asked him why and he answered that it was because I'm the only "worthy student". After all I was renowned throughout the whole skill for my academic skills and diligence, teachers line up the principal's door every year in hopes of teaching me. I turned to see the rebellious Mrs. Aldonus. Yet I got stuck with this woman.

Mr. Beldon then waltzed over next to me with a glare to Mrs. Aldonus. All of the girls in my class bared their fangs at me. Hol up bitches, I want this man to unclench as well. You could all have him for all I care. I felt a particular gaze pierce the back of my head, I turned to see a thunderous Kaden. If looks could kill, I would have already gone to heaven.

Mr. Beldon then smacked the top of my head with the chemistry book in his hand.

"Good job on opening the windows! If you had not done that then the lot of you in this classroom would have died already."

Mr. Beldon then patted my head before turning to Mrs. Aldonus with a glare. I felt a shiver run down my back. Lord above, I wouldn't want that glare to be directed at me.

"Mrs. Aldonus. Do you understand the consequences of your actions? Should I report this to the principal?"

Mrs. Aldonus's cheeks flushed before she cleared her throat. She then stood up and walked over to Mr. Beldon. He easily towered over her shot form. She then pushed her full rack on his chest as she said in a low, sultry voice.

"Oh my dear I must've made a mistake. Could you please pardon this small mistake of mine?"

Lord above. Mrs. Aldonus's bachelor degree must be in seduction because even I shuddered from her approach. Mr. Beldon smiled before pinching her chin and tilting her face upwards to be close to his. He then whispered.

"Please get your two balloons off my chest and act like a real teacher Mrs. Aldonus. I may be a man, but a woman like you seems like too much work."

The whole class went "oooh" at the roast delivered by Mr. Beldon. Embarrassment was an understatement to what Mrs. Aldonus portrayed. She backed away and walked towards her desk. She then smirked and said.

"Go ahead and tattle on me pretty boy. I've got all of the faculty, men and women supporting me. Instead of you threatening me, I think that you should be the one fearing for your position rookie. Now get the fuck out of my class."

The whole class stood up and started cheering as Mr. Beldon clicked his tongue in annoyance. He then threw the pen which was positioned behind his ear. It struck the board behind Mrs. Aldonus with a large THUD! The class quieted before Mr. Beldon walked towards the door he then turned and smiled to me before saying.

"Continue to watch this class for me Lyra, or else that pig over there is going to burn this class down before the end of the year."

I nodded before Mr. Beldon slammed the door shut. I then turned to see Mrs.. Aldonus stuff three cigarettes in her mouth.

"No Mrs. Aldonus! Now is not the time to commit suicide! And certainly not in such a way!"

A couple of minutes later, the room was filled with Mrs. Aldonus's some as she covered her face with a questionable Playboy magazine. The man on the cover was half naked as he winked. Mrs. Aldonus snored as she slept for the rest of class time. All the students were texting, chatting or snapchatting. Instead I was reviewing terms for my next AP Chemistry class with Mr. Beldon. I wonder what it would feel like to use this chemistry in the past.

I felt a tap on my shoulder while I was converting moles (unit of measure for elements in chemistry). I turned to see Kaden with flushed cheeks. he then scratched his cheek as he said.

"Look Lyra, I might've gone too far earlier with the play. I'm sorry."

I smiled. At least he reflected on his actions. I nodded and said.

"That's okay, but next time consult me before doing something as weird as that. I am your girlfriend after all."

I felt my cheeks flush as Kaden chuckled.

WHY THE FUCK DID I SAY SUCH A THING?

Kaden then leaned in and twirled one of my loose hairs around his finger. He then looked up at me and said.

"Well, well, aren't you quite the perfect girlfriend? If so I will try harder at becoming a better boyfriend. You have no issue with that am I right?"

I shook my head. A second later my eyes widened as something soft touched my lips. A smirking Kaden backed up. I then touched my lips which he had just kissed. my face felt as if it were about to explode. Several onlookers in the class whistled. In my embarrassment I slapped Kaden's hand which was on the table. He chuckled before sitting back in his chair.

I then turned back and tried to work on my formulas once more. Despite trying to review the formulas, my thoughts were filled with Kaden's kiss. Despite this being our second one as a couple, it felt like the first.

God above, will I be able to pass my AP chemistry exam in my next class after that kiss?

The kiss wasn't what bothered me. Instead the fact that my heart was beating at a hundred miles per hour, and the fact that I like it did. Instead of being cherry flavored, this time the kiss tasted like coffee. Kaden must've had coffee this morning. How normal for an unusual individual such as himself

I smiled despite myself. I wonder if a cherry coffee tastes as good as the two last kisses?
