Halloween is tomorrow and I know exactly what I want to be.
Ms. Reed's hoe.
The past almost two months of school have been boring as hell. There was not much to really be proud of or spill the tea about because nothing was happening.
Well there is one thing...
Our volleyball team has been doing amazing this year and we made it to Nationals which is in two weeks. It's all the way in Dallas, Texas, which I'm very excited for. As much as I'm excited for that, there is one great perk that stands out the most.
I get to travel with Ms. Reed.
I'm already imagining all the dates I'm going to take her on while we are in Dallas for approximately 3 days. But like they say, it's 5 o'clock somewhere.
The downside is that this will be our last game and basketball season starts which means I won't get to spend nearly as much time with Ms. Reed. But I feel like I can convince her to spend more time with me.
What's also exciting is that next week is November break so I finally get a break from prison. I just can't fathom not being able to see Ms. Bodacious for an entire week.
That doesn't really matter anyway because recently, I've felt Ms. Reed distancing herself the closer we have been becoming.
Now I don't wanna sound delusional but I feel like she may be into me. Claudia is always there to object though.
Not much more for me to think about as I'm right in front of Ms. Reed's health room about to knock for the first time in what felt like ages.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Jules."
As always, I can sense Ms. Reed is rolling her eyes as she makes her way over to the door.
She opens the door up and she looks as gorgeous as always.
"What do you want, Oliver?"
To be honest, I couldn't tell you.
"I'm not really sure. I guess I just wanted to see you. Obviously not in a weird way."
Fuck.
I'm screwing this up aren't I?
"Well that's very sweet of you Jules but I'm 100% sure that there are better ways to spend your time than being with me."
"I don't think there is."
I'm not sure if the globe stopped rotating or me and Ms. Reed coincidentally stopped moving at the same time.
She clears her throat and looks up at me with an expression that I can't quite make out. I know what I said was bold and maybe too far but I'm tired of hiding my feelings. It's eating me up inside.
"So what do you need so eagerly which is making you interrupt my only alone time?"
I set my backpack down in front of the desk I normally sit at and decide to stand right in front of her desk.
"Are you excited for nationals in the yee-haw state?"
"Well I have to spend 3 days with you on top of me 24/7 so apart from that, I'm thrilled."
I smile because of Ms. Reed's joke.
At least I think it was a joke.
"Come on, I'm not that bad of a person. I would consider myself quite charming and charismatic."
"Charismatic for sure. Charming? Maybe not quite as much as you'd believe."
Is this flirting?
I can feel the blood rush into my cheeks and I am praying to God that Ms. Bodacious isn't noticing this right now.
I mean she has glasses on so she probably does.
"Can I sit next to you on the plane ride?"
"No."
This bitch.
"Why not?"
Ms. Reed opens her mouth to talk but nothing comes out. After a mili-second, although it felt like ages, she opens her mouth again.
"Well, why would you?"
I wave her off.
"Because Ashley has a crush on me and I don't want to sit next to her. I'll let Maisie, Brooklyn, and Ashley sit next to each other because I'm a nice person. And plus I'm not close with anyone else on the team. They either suck or they think that they know everything. I can't deal with people like that."
"I know everything."
My heart stops.
"Well it's different because you're a few years older and much more mature."
See what I did there?
I've got to remind Ms. Bodacious that we technically are legal and if she wants to come and touch upon me, she can at any time.
There's a moment of silence of us staring into each other's eyes but of course like everything else in my life, a boy has to come and ruin it.
"Uhm Ms. Reed? I have a doctor's note which says I won't be able to participate in gym for the next two weeks."
Ms. Reed rolls her eyes but only for me to see.
I laugh evilly on the inside as I grab my backpack and exit Ms. Reed's room so she can deal with that little freshman on her own.
I just now arrived home from school and I am so relieved that tomorrow is Halloween.
According to my analysis throughout my 10+ years of going to school, my teachers never assign us homework on Halloween so it's basically a free day tomorrow with the only downside being that I have to wake up early.
Right now I'm currently on FaceTime with Claudia planning my last-minute outfit.
"Fuck Claudia I don't know what I want to do as my costume. I want to do Ms. Reed and I also want to be her hoe but that doesn't seem possible."
Claudia rolls her eyes as I can see her making her way up to her main bedroom.
God how I wish I could be rich.
"I don't know Jules. Be a basketball player like you have always been. I told you, you look hot in your LaMelo Ball jersey."
I ponder for a moment.
I mean, she isn't wrong. I do look hot in my LaMelo Ball jersey. Even I feel a little something when I see him and I'm 110% gay.
"Maybe. But you have to dress up as Chappel Roan then."
"Hell No! I'm not doing tha-"
Claudia's sentence cuts short as she looks weirdly outside what I'm assuming is her window. I am now eagerly tapping at my camera to try and get her attention to see what's wrong.
"Claudia? Clauds bitch are you fucking there?! You have 206 bones in your body move one of them!"
"Sorry Jules it's just I think, I think I see Ms. Reed."
I feel my stomach drop.
"In your neighborhood?! Why would she be-"
I'm not the smartest person but even I figured this one out.
Do you see the car Ms. Reed drives? That's not the car you can buy from being a single teacher.
This bitch is fucking loaded and she lives on Claudia's street.
But before I can actually start believing this, I fear I am going to have to see proof. For you know...rocket science.
"Show me Claudia."
It doesn't take Claudia long for her to flip her camera screen. At first I am distracted by the fucking mansions all around but then I see Ms. Bodacious opening up a massive grand front door.
"Claudia...are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
...
It's Halloween and Claudia and I are currently trick-or-treating in her neighborhood.
Now before you can say anything, we aren't going to be asking these rich bitches for candy. We are only walking to other houses that aren't Ms. Reed's so she doesn't look suspicious.
Besides, the rich bitch spoiled brat kids in this neighborhood don't even deserve the king sized candy bars. They should be reserved only for me. Jules Oliver territory.
"I really don't know how you convinced me to wear this."
"Ditto."
We trick or treat at a few houses with a few parents concerned why an 18 year old and a 17 year old are trick or treating.
When someone did open the door, we just said we wanted to share joy. But for those who just had candy out, we may have stolen a few.
But now it was time for the scary part.
We are standing right in front of Ms. Reed's big ass house and I don't know why I'm nervous. She might not even open up.
"Don't be scared Jules. I'm right behind you."
And she isn't lying.
She is walking right behind me as I make my way up to Ms. Reed's front porch and knock.
I hear footsteps approaching and I feel like I'm about to faint. Not because it's hot but because of how nervous I am.
And also maybe how much hotter it's about to get when she opens the door and she becomes visible in my presence.
"Trick or treat!"
I can tell Ms. Reed wasn't expecting us as we seem to have caught her off guard.
She was wearing the cowgirl outfit she wore in school today. It's a pretty common teacher outfit but nonetheless she looked sexy.
"What are you guys doing here? How did you know where I live Jules?!"
So she does live here.
"Well Claudia lives in this neighborhood and we always go trick or treating here to spread joy to people."
Ms. Bodacious looks at me then at Claudia.
"How nice." Ms. Reed forwards her attention back to me. "And who are you supposed to be?"
"Oh!" I turn around and point to the surname on the back of my jersey.
"I'm LaMelo Ball from the Charlotte Hornets. You know him?"
"I'm not a big basketball fan."
"I can change your opinion. Trust." I wink at Ms. Reed and she gulps. It's fine. It's cool. My back is towards Claudia so she doesn't even know.
"And I assume you are supposed to be Chappel Roan, Claudia?"
The only Chappel Roan related thing Claudia has on is the 'Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess' album cover t-shirt on.
"You know it Ms. Reed."
"Well, I will see you guys when we go back to school. Have a good November break."
"Was that flirting or what?" Claudia nudges me as we're parting ways with Ms. Reed and her rich bitch house.
I was going to have a good November break alright.
Claudia was going to Comoros with her mom and dad but I will make sure Claudia's house is safe. Especially her neighborhood.
So Ms. Reed, be on the lookout for me.
Authors Words:
The house shown on the top of the screen is Ms. Reeds not Claudia's. Claudia's house is much more larger than that ð
Also bro can this pls happen w me and my teacher bae?! When is it finally my turn?
