Time for School Ch. 05

"Ow," I quietly replied, rubbing my arm. She'd caught me with the painful spiral wire on the spine.

Jennifer simply chuckled in amusement and took her seat, just as the teacher got up from his and began his lesson.


Unsurprisingly, we were given another wonderful read-and-copy assignment. I swear, my wrist was going to fall off by the time the day was out. However, I was being a good student and carried out my work as instructed. I was still feeling good, especially after seeing the two lovely girls again that I'd bonded with deeper than I could've ever dreamed. They were enough to keep my mind off of the increasingly overbearing hunger in my stomach.

At one point, I consciously fell back on one of my old habits which was gazing upon the lovely girls in class. I was only doing so to take a brief break from writing instead of completely zoning out from my schoolwork. As I looked upon them, I realized that I'd always wondered what kinds of grades the girls I liked got. They must've had good grades since every time during the year I'd looked over at them, they were always quite diligent and engrossed in their work—more so than I was. I sighed happily and returned to my work.


I don't know where the time went because what seemed like a minute later, the bell for lunch rang out. I looked up at the clock in surprise at what time it was. I shrugged it off as I was more than happy to head to lunch. After all, I was starving.

Before I bolted downstairs however, I suddenly remembered that Eve had invited me to hang out with her. She got up from her desk, unlatching her lunch bag from her backpack and began to leave the room together with Lila. She turned to me and waved for me to follow them. I couldn't do so immediately, as a group of students separated me from the two girls and forced me to wait.

Once I was out in the hallways, I didn't see them there amongst the fluctuating wave of students eager to eat. I folded my arms across my chest and sighed in defeat. This was why I always try to get out as quickly as I can.


I finally made my way downstairs and headed out the doors to the outside pathways. Right there in front of me were the two girls standing and talking in the shade of the metallic overhang. I sighed happily and walked up to them.

Eve greeted me as I approached. "Hey!"

"Hey there," I replied with a casual smile, causing Lila to look over at me. She didn't seem terribly interested to see me.

"Oh, hey, Anthony," Lila nonchalantly said before turning to Eve again. "So I was saying that—uh..." Lila trailed off when she realized that Eve was pretty fixated on me and I wasn't exactly leaving. "What's going on?"

"I invited Anthony to hang out with us for lunch," Eve said with a smile as she glanced to her friend.

Lila was dumbfounded, scoffing in disbelief.

"You didn't tell me," Lila said to Eve.

"I wanted it to be a surprise so... surprise," she playfully replied with a soft chuckle. Eve then looked over at me again. "So, where's your lunch?"

"Oh, I get it from the cafeteria," I said.

"Ha!" Lila remarked with an arrogant smirk on her face.

"Okay, that's cool," Eve replied. "We'll be sitting over here. Just come look for us."

"Got it," I replied back and then began to calmly hurry toward the cafeteria. My stomach couldn't take much more of this torture.


Once I got my tray of food, I immediately headed for my usual sitting place with my friends.

"Hey guys," I quickly greeted them.

"Hey..., what's up?" Frank asked, realizing I wasn't taking my seat.

"You guys don't mind if I eat with someone else today, do you?"

The four of them looked at me, dumbfounded.

"Well, yeah, that's cool," Frank said. "It's not like we have you on a leash or anything."

Josh then teased me, "You're going to sit with your new girlfriend, aren't you?"

"She's not my girlfriend, but yes, I was going to sit with her," I replied with a smile.

"All right, man," Brandon said, holding out a fist to me, allowing me to fist-bump with him.

"See ya," the guys said nearly in unison.

"Yeah, see ya," Nora said, taking an interest in me with a curious smile on her face. I chuckled in amusement, waving to the group as I took my leave.


I headed back out of the cafeteria and soon spotted the two girls sitting at one of the outdoor picnic tables. Eve waved to me as I approached them.

"There you are," she said as the two were enjoying their own respective sandwiches. I quickly had to make a decision of where to sit. I figured it was safer not to sit next to Lila and so I sat next to Eve.

"Wow," Lila remarked as she gazed upon my lunch of spaghetti, mixed vegetables and a roll. "That's the kind of junk they serve?" She punctuated her attempted barb with a quiet laugh to Eve.

"Yeah," I replied, quickly digging in with my plastic fork, "and I missed breakfast so I'm hungry as hell."

Lila just rolled her eyes as I brushed her off while Eve chuckled.

"I think it's pretty cool," Eve remarked. "I wouldn't touch it myself, but... I respect people liking different things."

"Whatever," Lila said as she crunched on a couple potato chips from her neat little zippered plastic baggie.

It felt so good to finally eat. Missing a meal was so unpleasant and I felt damn near lucky that I was able to focus long enough on my schoolwork until lunch.


"So, Lila," Eve said as I continued to eat. "Anthony and I were talking this morning about how he is trying to be more positive and bring out a new side of himself."

"Why?" Lila asked as she looked over at me. "I don't like the old side of you anyway."

Eve quietly laughed. "Come on, Lila—give him a chance. He's actually pretty cool."

"That doesn't seem possible," Lila sarcastically responded.

"Well," I said after swallowing a mouthful of food, "I'm just trying to better myself. I'm not really doing it for anyone else but me."

"That's good," Eve replied. "I can admire that. It's very grown-up of you."

Oh, how I didn't like that phrase. "Please, no," I remarked with a playful weep. "Don't call me that."

She giggled loudly. "Sorry," she replied with a grin.


Just as we were beginning to share a moment together, my mind couldn't help itself from wandering into a spontaneous fantasy. I would've kicked myself for going off daydreaming in the midst of talking to an actual girl, if not for me getting very turned on by the images in my mind.

Eve slowly got to her feet, staring at Lila with a hungry look in her eyes. She walked over to the other girl and took her gently by the hand, helping her to her feet. There, the two slowly put their arms around one another, giggling as they stared deeply into each others' eyes. They leaned in, moaning softly as their lips melded together in heated passion.

Their hands rubbed each others' back, occasionally flipping up the hem of their shirts for just a second as if to tease me. They sighed as their lips pulled away, turning their heads to me with equally big grins and inviting me to join them.


"Anthony?" Eve spoke up, pulling me out of my daydream with a surprised shake of my head. She laughed quietly. "You okay there? You kind of spaced out."

"What a suprise," Lila remarked with a roll of her eyes.

I sighed, trying to rid the fantasy from my mind. Though, as a red-blooded human male, I couldn't help but be fascinated by the idea of girlfriends 'experimenting' with each other.

I chuckled in an attempt to brush it off. "Sorry about that," I responded.

"It's cool," she said with a reassuring smile.

Lila then looked at her wristwatch. "It's almost time to go back," she said. The two then began to pack their silverware back into their little lunch coolers.

"Well," Eve spoke up, "the two of us are going to head back to class."

"All right," I replied as the three of us started to get up. "See you both back there."

Lila scoffed. "Yeah, great," she sarcastically said as she began to walk away. Eve quietly laughed.

"See you in class, Anthony," she spoke with a kindness in her voice I'd never heard before. It caused me to sigh in content and smile as I admired her walking away. She and Lila then seemed to be quietly arguing about something, though I couldn't possibly imagine what. I chuckled to myself as I grabbed my tray and tossed it in the nearest garbage can.

I wandered around for just a couple of minutes, time enough to see my friends all exiting the cafeteria together. Josh looked over and spotted me.

"See you tomorrow, Anthony!" he called out to me, causing the others to notice me and wave. I waved back, watching them walk away. Nora continued to stare at me, however. Even from that distance I swear she was blushing. I grinned and turned around, feeling completely awesome as I started to make my way back to class.


I settled back into my seat, the teacher waiting for the other students to head back inside. Jennifer walked in and sauntered past me once again, her eyes closed and a content smile on her face. As she passed, I gave her a quick backhand across her ass. She gasped in surprise and quickly took a look around. She then gave a soft humph.

"You're lucky no one was watching," she quietly said as she took her seat.

"Does that mean you liked it?" I quietly asked as I turned to her with a grin. She grinned back but quickly tried to hide it as she looked away to rummage through her backpack.

"Don't make me give you a fucking black eye," she remarked.

"Oh, 'fuck.' I like that word. Like what you and I did."

"Shut up," she quietly demanded. I grinned to myself as I decided to blink my eyes and stop time just before jumping to my feet.


"Hey everyone!" I exclaimed, startling Jennifer as she quickly looked up at me. "Jennifer and I fucked! She doesn't want you to know it, but we had some amazing sex—"

"Shut up!!" she shrieked, looking around the room in a panic. Having been through it before, she quickly realized what happened. "Wait, wha—Oh, you asshole!"

I laughed as I sat back down, managing to get a grin on her face as she shook her head in amusement at me. I waited for us both to quickly calm down before resuming time once more.


The rest of class was actually fairly standard. I settled in comfortably after my work was done and waited until the bell rang. Everyone gathered up their backpacks, as did I, and began to head to fourth period.

"Hey, Anthony," Eve got my attention as she approached me.

"Yeah?" I asked, coming to a halt.

"Why don't you hang out with us during lunch again tomorrow? I'll try to get one of my guy friends to join us so you can talk about 'guy stuff.'"

I smiled, appreciating the gesture. "I don't mind talking to girls," I replied.

"Really?" she asked with surprise in her voice. "Well, whatever's good for you. I think Lila will start to warm up to you in time, don't worry."

"I'm not worried and—I don't blame her for how she acted toward me. I pretty much deserved it. Like I said I'm trying to make some positive changes."

"Awesome," she said with a nod. "Well I gotta hurry, my class is on the other side of the building!" she then quickly started to jog away, waving back to me. "See you tomorrow!"

"See ya," I quietly replied, although she was already out of the room.


Eve was so gorgeous. I was enthralled to be making more friends of the opposite sex like her, Talia, Tamara and even Jennifer; though the latter would never admit it out loud. I had a spring in my step as I headed on to Spanish class where my other, established female friends were waiting for me.

I walked into the classroom, becoming immediately distracted by Ms. Adanna and her immaculate butt as she was already writing things on the whiteboard. I quickly shook it off and headed for my seat. Sarah and Jordan eagerly greeted me.

"Hey, you two," I said as I slipped off my backpack and sat down.

"I still have to get you back for yesterday," Jordan said, grinning mischievously at me. "Trust me—I will. You won't know when to expect it, but it's coming." I smirked in amusement.

"Ooh," I sarcastically replied. "I'm so scared." Sarah quietly laughed in amusement.


Once class begun, the lot of us were in our seats and began our assignments. My mind felt so much clearer and settled now that I'd finally eaten something. Adding to that was the reassurance of knowing that I was really starting to hit it off with Eve. Nora seemed quite interested in me, which made me wonder. I could have sworn I heard she had a boyfriend, but then Jennifer's words of wisdom suddenly replayed in my head.

'Just remember that girls can't resist a good distraction from the drama of their relationship. Even if they're in a good place with their man, there's no reason they wouldn't want to spice things up a bit.'

I couldn't help but curiously hum to myself.

Ms. Adanna soon moved on to having us speak Spanish phrases along with her while also making us take notes of what we were saying. At the same time I couldn't help but notice she was looking so beautiful in a lovely green sun dress. I would've loved to pull that right off her body. I wondered if she was wearing any panties underneath?

Sarah tapped the back of my shoulder, causing me to turn around to her. She had an innocent grin on her face.

"Could I borrow a sheet of paper?" she politely asked. I grinned and shook my head, getting a paper from my backpack for her.

"You're so unprepared," I playfully scolded her.

"I know, I'm the worst when it comes to rememberin' stuff like that." She smiled as I handed her the sheet of paper. "Thanks, I owe you one."

"That's about the twentieth 'I owe you' I've gotten. When am I gonna get to collect on these?"

"Whenever I think of something," she replied with a shrug. I smiled again and turned around to focus back on my work. I was always so charmed by Sarah, no matter what she did. She was kind, thoughtful and never demanding. I guess that's why I had a tiny, microscopic, insignificant little crush on her. Seriously—it wasn't that big of a crush.

I mean it!


Before long, class was out and fifth period was next. I bid my farewells to Sarah and Jordan. English class was always a quieter, more comfortable class for me. The atmosphere that the teacher laid out for us was really laid-back and usually he gave us easy work.

Our classwork for the day ended up mostly being us taking turns reading aloud from Homer's Iliad. Though I knew I could probably never write something as epic as Iliad, I still enjoyed reading it. After all, reading is fun. Don't you agree?

I found that I read faster than most in class, so I usually liked to read on ahead from where everyone else was reading. Well, I would usually do that when I, of course, wasn't feeling bored or distracted by the thoughts of Ms. Adanna after having left her class. I know the teacher was on to me, watching me as I was turning pages while keeping my finger slipped between the ones the class was still reading.

At the end of class, the teacher gave us our homework assignments and let us know what we'd be doing tomorrow. He then gave us a few minutes before the end of class. While I'd talked to some of the kids in class the last time I was there, they were pretty flippant about who they talked to and so they paid me no mind. I really wasn't upset about it, given the number of new faces I'd been talking to lately. I felt like I was starting to make a name for myself with all the new people I was getting to know.


Once class ended, I managed to get myself out into the hallways as the bell rang and beat the crowds. The day was almost done. Just one more hour and one more class, which was of course Driver's Ed.

I headed into the annexed classroom outside and greeted my friends as they came in after me.

"So," Brandon started as he sat down behind me, "how'd it go with that girl? You two gonna go make out under the bleachers yet?"

The others chuckled, as did I.

"I told you, it's not like that," I replied with a slight grin. "Eve already has a boyfriend."

"Yeah, but she's looking good," Frank said. "You can't tell me you're not tempted."

"Of course I am," I unabashedly admitted. The other guys all 'ooh'ed at each other. "But I want to respect the fact that she's in a relationship."

"You ask me," Brandon spoke up, "you should totally get in there, man." The other two laughed as they all shared fist-bumps with each other. My grin slightly faded as I actually gave some thought to his suggestion. Jennifer's remarks about girls in relationships replayed in my head once more. I wondered if I actually should try to, I dunno, charm Eve the same way I did with Jennifer and Talia. She was incredibly hot and I wouldn't have thought twice about it if she'd hit on me.

Then again, guys and girls tended to have different mind-sets when it came to sex.


I was slightly disappointed when the majority of Driver's Ed was, what a surprise, taking notes from our driver's handbooks. As if I didn't get enough of that already. For the first time that day, I found myself getting distracted at points. Eve was really sticking out in my mind. I played back the fantasy of her and Lila making out at the picnic tables and I found myself starting to dissect the clothes off of her gorgeous body.

I groaned, rubbing my forehead as I tried to get myself back into my work. I exhaled sharply, focusing back on my task and getting it done as quickly as I could. Once I had, I put my pencil down and sighed as I shook off the stinging in my wrist before I leaned back in my chair. I stared up at the ceiling for just a moment and soon found myself connecting the dots in the ceiling tiles to make the shape of Eve's face.

This was getting really ridiculous. I quickly looked away and rested my elbow on the desk with my head in my hand.

Although I was mentally kicking myself for being unable to get her out of my mind, there was just so much about her that was admirable. She wasn't just gorgeous on the outside, but she was also open-minded and understanding. I enjoyed her interest in wanting to learn about others. It made me realize how accurate I was when I told her that her boyfriend was a lucky guy. Any guy would be an idiot not to get with her.


Not long after, the final bell rang out and school was done for the day. I slung my backpack over my shoulder and departed from my friends.

"Get in there, man!" Brandon called out, causing the others to laugh as I walked away with a grin.

I hopped on the bus and let my backpack fall to the floor, taking my usual seat near the back. Again, I sprawled out on the seat like I owned it and for the second day in a row, got no complaints by the time the bus started to depart and take us back home.

I kept my gaze forward, staring out the windows on the opposite side as I pondered to myself. Eve was still the biggest thing on my mind. She was seriously hot, and it was safe to say I would have sex with her in a heartbeat. But what would I even say to her? How could I possibly go about seducing a girl like her? She was a leader, not a follower. She carried herself with such confidence and stride like Jennifer, only without the quick temper and cockiness.


The bus came to a stop and I made my way off of it. Once I'd crossed the street, I waited there for Sofia to catch up with me. I remembered how she expressed interest in my offer to walk home with her.

"Hey," I greeted her with a smile.

"Hey!" she happily responded, placing a friendly hand on my arm before the two of us began to walk together. "So, how was your day?"
