“I meant to say that you look beautiful, Scarlett. You’ve always looked beautiful.”

I looked up into his brown eyes and I swear my heart skipped a beat. Oh crap. I think I might like Jacob too. I was so royally screwed.

Chapter 5 – Call Him Daddy

Wednesday

“Would you hurry up?” Sophie said as she slammed her locker door. “It’s finally time for our coding class. I’m dying to see this hot teacher.”

She was right…I was moving as slowly as possible. I grabbed a new notebook from my locker, closed the door, and started fidgeting with the lock.

“No one’s going to steal your textbooks. Come on.” She started walking down the hallway. Or skipping may have been a better description. Her excitement was radiating off her.

I sighed. This morning I had been really looking forward to my one class with Axel and Jacob. But now? I was dreading it for the same reason I had been looking forward to it before. Axel and Jacob. I had no idea where I was going to sit. Next to Axel? Or Jacob? Between them? God, what am I going to do?

“You’re driving me crazy,” Sophie said and retreated back to me. She grabbed my arm to pull me toward our last class. “Aren’t you excited to see the smoking hot specimen behind the desk?”

“No, not really.”

“But I’ve heard at least a dozen girls say he’s hotter than Mr. Halifax. Which is obvs impossible. If the new teacher is close though?” She put her hand to her chest and sighed. “I’m going to do so many unspeakable things to him to make Mr. Halifax jealous.”

I laughed.

“I’m serious. First I’m going to start flirting with him in the hallways. Super hard. Which will lead to more than flirting. A touch here and there. It will seem innocent, but we’ll both be dying to make it dirty. And then when I have him right where I want him, I’m thinking of just banging him right on top of his desk. Or maybe with my back against the chalkboard.” She bit her lip.

“Wait, Mr. Halifax or the new teacher?”

“The new one. Well…both eventually. But probably the new guy first. I have such a good plan. Oh, and of course I’ll blow him under his desk. That’s the key to any man’s heart.”

I just stared at her. “That can’t possibly be true.”

“It 100% is. Wow. Now that I think of it, you need to just blow Axel.”

I was pretty sure my jaw dropped.

“I mean, don’t make that face. But something similar, yeah. You should look a little more eager than scared.” She tilted her head to the side. “Or horrified.”

“I’m not going to give Axel head.”
