lessons on love
Chapter 1
"Amanda Hudson, get yourself to the principal's office, now."
I glared at Mr Wood, my biology teacher, my fists clenched.
"What are you waiting for?" he sneered.
I rolled my eyes and scraped my stool back, and stormed out of the lab slamming the door.
I knew 29 heads were following me while I did so.
While I was walking along the empty corridors to the prinicpals office, I wilted.
I mean, did nothing wrong.
Well, if you call throwing a spitball at the teacher nothing, then sure.
I reached the door and walked in without bothering to knock.
Seated in front of the principle was a guy who looked young enough to be a student,
but was dressed in a suit and tie.
"Miss Hudson, can I help you?" the principal narrowed his eyes.
"Mr Wood sent me." I shrugged.
"Go back to class, I've had enough of you this week. Besides, I'm busy interviewing
Mr Taylor, your future English teacher." he smirked.
"Are you sure he isn't a student?"
Mr Taylor grinned revealing a set of pearly white teeth.
He ran a hand through his tousled sandy blonde hair.
"I can assure you I'm old enough to be a qualified teacher." he laughed.
I bit my lip, speechless at his smooth, sultry voice.
"As of tomorrow Mr Taylor will hopefully be taking over your class." the principal
interrupted my thoughts.
I nodded, my mouth suddenly dry.
"So uh, am I gonna get a detention?"
"No, I've told the board of education you won't get your fifth this week, and
I am determined to keep to that. You're really becoming a known... figure to
the board right now. I'd watch yourself." he raised his eyebrows.
I smirked, "What can I say? I can't help being an individual."
The principal tapped his pen on the oak desk impatiently.
"Yes, well at Pine Hill we aren't looking for attention-seekers."
"But- "
"Please leave. At once, Amanda, or I will have no option but to suspend you."
I turned on my heel sharply, but I heard Mr Taylor's voice slip into my ears again
before I had the chance to leave.
"See you tomorrow, Amanda."
