Jagger

It was the middle of seventh period and the end of the day couldn't come soon enough. In ninety minutes, we'd be leaving for our date. I'd spent every free minute that week hanging out, texting, and chatting with Roxy, but I couldn't wait to get her alone. From the time I woke up to the time I fell asleep, she was on my mind. I even spent yesterday afternoon in NICU telling Nick more about her during our cuddle. I'd been dropping hints all week that I wanted to make it official, but I didn't know where we stood.

Foo Fighters concert notwithstanding, I got the sense she wasn't the PDA type, so I'd kept things at school subtle and clean. But I had started touching her more and coming close into her space, and she never flinched or shied away. No. Roxy blushed when I whispered in her ear; she let me walk her to class. I even carried her books once or twice. She didn't stop me on Tuesday when I snaked fries from her lunch tray, and when she finished her Coke, she started drinking mine.

As an added bonus, the boys at school seemed to be getting the picture. Her usual cadre of hopeful suitors had backed off. But I got the sense that something was going on with her.

I'm bored.

I glanced down at my phone, which had vibrated with a new text from Roxy. When I pictured her bored face, I smiled.

At least Mr. Fenicle’s class is just boring. Mrs. Berardi's voice grates on my nerves, I replied.

I tried to look engaged as I waited for her next text. Surreptitiously texting in class was an art.

"Just" boring? If I had a suicide pill in my pocket, I'd use it. I can't take this anymore!

I stifled a laugh when she followed up with the yellow emoji that had a letter x over each eye.

Please Miss Vega, not that! Perhaps I can come to your aid…

I had an idea. I fired off the text before slipping my phone in my pocket and raising my hand.

"Yes, Mr. Monroe?" Mrs. Berardi ground out in her annoyingly-high voice. I plastered on a charming smile.

She was thirty-five and married, albeit to a younger man, and known to be quite the puma. Declan, Gunther and I had compared notes and she'd hit on all three of us. This would be embarrassingly easy.

"May I be excused early, Mrs. Berardi? I have a dentist appointment in Littleton at three."

Her eyes traveled my body.

"Yes, go ahead Jagger. And bring a note next time."

"Thank you." I smiled sweetly as I gathered my things, dodging hostile, knowing glances from the other students as I walked out.
