just imagine explaining to my mum and dad that I had a date with one of my teachers.
To Jamie: When? Where?
From Jamie: Any time. It’s up to you, when are you free?
To Jamie: Well everyone is busy revising at the minute , so I’m free a lot… I’m just not so sure it’s a good idea.
It was better to wait until I had finished school in three week’s so that I wouldn’t be his student any more. I wanted to go out with him so much, but I’d never forgive myself if a relationship between us caused either of us to get into trouble. I was pretty sure if school found out that he’d be instantly fired and I’d be suspended or permanently expelled; which made me laugh as I had so little time left, but that time was to do my exams which I could not miss.
From Jamie: Why?
To Jamie: Well after I’ve finished exams sure, I won’t be your student any more will I? I just don’t want to risk you or me getting into trouble. You risk being fired if anyone found out what we were doing earlier! And I can’t have that on my conscience. You are too good a teacher for me to let that happen. (Don’t let my inability to understand maths influence your thoughts on that!) Although it was good enough to risk being suspended for, but I can’t miss my exams!
From Jamie: You are right , despite your lacking maths skills, you are pretty clever! X
To Jamie: WOW … THANKS! Have you been taking lessons in confidence boosting? They are paying off!
From Jamie: You know what I mean Miss Stevens! So… our date? What are you doing after prom? We could leave early and I could take you to dinner. That ’s if you are going?
I ’d almost forgotten about Prom for a second, oh how I wish that I could go with Jamie.
To Jamie: Yeah I ’m going with Lily, Violet & Megan. We are all staying at Violet’s house on the Friday night, so can’t go out Friday. My ex bf keeps bugging me to go with him, but that is NOT happening! I’m sure Lily will be going with her new bf now and as much as I’m ok with just going with Vi, I can’t stand Megan! So excuse me if I’m not overly enthused with going. We could do something Saturday if you aren’t busy? x
From Jamie: You have to go. If not for Violet to save her from that little witch , Megan! Then go for me? I won’t get to dance with you, but we can still talk. Saturday sounds great x
That sounded better than not seeing him at all , I hadn’t actually realised he would be going. I really needed to find the most perfect dress, which meant shopping which I loathed.
To Jamie: I never realised that you would be there. Consider that alone incentive enough for me to go.
I was literally bouncing in my seat with excitement knowing I’d see him there, that meant I could hide away from Megan and just talk to him all evening. I stupidly spilled my hot cup of tea over my lap in a moment of sheer idiocy and had to run upstairs to quickly jump in the shower to get cold water over my legs. I threw my phone which beeped twice as it landed on my bed but I needed to get my skirt off, my legs underneath it were bright red. I quickly showered, rivalling the one I’d had the day before for speed so I could get out to see what Jamie had replied to me. I opened my messages to see one from my dad and a reply from Jamie.
From Dad: Don ’t make us dinner, won’t be home until after midnight. ANOTHER teenager killed in a car crash. You are NEVER learning to drive! LoL and hi from mum x
I rolled my eyes at my dad ’s message which was probably typed out by a nurse as he worked; my dad wasn’t one for putting ‘x’ at the end of his messages and his interpretation of ‘lol’ (lots of love) never failed to make me giggle. I sent a quick reply to tell him I understood and had lots of revision to get through anyway and that I’d just order a pizza once Lily arrived.
From Jamie: Hell yeah I ’m going if you are! I can’t wait. What are you wearing? X
I giggled as I read his message again. I know he meant
