14. A Wasted School Day

Blake could no longer resist the temptation. He stood up and told the whole class: “All right, everyone, class is about to end in 5 minutes. Finished or not, everyone please pass your papers to me. Then you may go.”

The students were relieved after their long, grueling test about Hamlet. All of them went forward and gave Blake their test papers. In a few moments, the class was empty, and Blake was the only one left inside. He didn't like dismissing class 5 minutes before the bell, but he couldn't help himself.

'I know I still have a class at 11... But I need to know if Josie texted me something important.'

Blake made a brash decision. He knew that there would be consequences to this. He knew Dean Pitt would kill him for this, one way or another. But he needed to know. Besides, there were plenty of other teachers who could substitute him just for this one day.

'I'm so dead.' Blake thought to himself as he rushed out of the classroom and walked briskly towards the principal's office. He opened the door and the cold wind from the air conditioner inside the room hit his face.

“Yes, Mister Ingram? How may I help you?” The secretary asked.

“Jane, please tell Candice that I can't attend my class at 11, something important came up. Have someone fill in for me, and I'll make up for it tomorrow!”

Before the secretary could say anything, Blake rushed out of the office and made his way to his car.

'I am not about to miss our third date just because I forgot to bring my cellphone with me!' Blake thought to himself.

It was an average day at the hospital. Josie made her usual rounds, and proceeded to check out after a few hours. She couldn't help but take out her phone and check it every 5 minutes.

'Still nothing...' she thought. It was like a monkey she couldn't get off her back. If only she didn't have a job she needed to do, she would've gone straight to his school.

Suddenly, to her great surprise, her cellphone rang. She excitedly took it out from her pocket.

“Please be Blake, please be Blake...” she whispered to herself.

It was from Blake. The message read: “So sorry honey, I left my phone back at the house cuz I got up late today...hope I didn’t worry u 2 much... hoping we still have that date later on..? :)”

“Hope you didn't worry me? You almost gave me a heart attack!” She shouted.

People in the hospital stared at her. She looked around and blushed in embarrassment.

'Dammit Josie, keep it to yourself..!' Josie was still angry at Blake for worrying her. But she couldn't stay angry at the man she had fallen in love with already. She replied: “you really, really worried me! > :( but I cant really stay angry at you honeybun... yes, the date is still on. Meet you later at 3. :)” Josie sighed with relief.

'Now I can finally get back to work.
