Aris’s P.O.V
I had nothing but disdain for this teacher. He was just a jerk. While he didn't really pay attention to me, he always had something to say to Y/N. He actually loved “calling her out” for the smallest thing. If she got a less than perfect score on something, couldn't figure out the trick answer that took every ounce of brain power, thought she wasn't paying attention, she didn't immediately know the answer to a question, and so on, he would insult her until she was red in the face. I also couldn't say anything because I would just be sent out of the room for “behavioral problems.”
Today was literally just listening to his rant and writing down anything we thought was important, which is actually code for everything he says. To be honest, I had stopped in the first ten minutes of class. If I kept writing all the information would leave my head anyway.
Glancing at Y/N, I saw her biting her lip as she tried to keep up with his rant. Seeing her come close to frustrated tears, I just kept wondering why he was so mean to her. She never did anything wrong.
Putting her pencil down, she just stared at him while still appearing ready to cry.
Helping the only way I knew how, I quietly took out a notecard and just scribbled hi before handing it to her. Not taking her eyes off the teacher, she grabbed it and just read it before writing back and just as cautiously handing me it.
Hi to you too. Do you have any idea what he's saying?
I stopped caring so long ago.
Sneaking it in her hand, I saw her roll her eyes but still smile as she handed me the next message.
Of course you did. You're more worried about me.
How'd you know?
Sliding it to her, I saw her grin just grow before she kept adding on.
You're probably the dorkiest boy in here. You know that, right?
It looks like your type is dorks then.
No way. I totally wasn't aware of that when I became your girlfriend.
It's good you finally realized it.
Changing the topic, when can I see you again?
You're seeing me right now.
You know what I mean. When can I see you alone, at night?
What makes you think I would partake in such rulebreaking?
Probably the fact that you're passing me this note.
I mean you're passing it back.
I can't just leave you hanging.
Well, you know what they say. The couple that breaks rules together, stays together.
As she was passing it to me the teacher turned around to see the way I had the note in my hand. Snatching it up, we all just stared at each other.
“Let me have the note,”He demanded.
“What note?”I asked.
“The one in your hand,”He sighed.
“This one?”I asked, holding it up.
“Yes. That one.”
“I can't though,”I shrugged.
“Give it to me, and she’ll be the only one in trouble,”He tried to bargain.
“And if I don't?”
“Then, you’ll join her in extra classes with me tonight. Do you want to be back here?”
“Not at all.”
“So give it to me.”
“I can't though,”I shrugged again.
“Why?”
“Because it's not here,”I explained. Before he could ask what I meant I made one of the most idiotic, love sick, and power move choices ever as I just shoved the notecard in my mouth and ate it.
“Did you just eat paper?”He got out after a long, long minute of silence.
“No,”I lied.
“I just watched you eat paper.”
“What paper? All my paper is right here,”I pointed out, holding up my notebook.
“You just got yourself in even more trouble.”
“I mean you have to have proof we did something to request a punishment, and I don't see any proof. Do you see the proof?”
“I just watched you eat the proof!”He snapped.
“That would be a silly thing to do.”
“But you did it!”He screamed.
“No I didn't,”I shrugged, feigning confusion at his frustration. Not saying anything, he threw his marker on the floor before storming out and slamming the door.
“Wow. I wonder what has him so upset,”I sighed, looking over at Y/N.
“You could have just ripped it up,”She pointed out.
“Yes, but is it cooler to rip up a note so you don't get in trouble or eat it and taunt the teacher?”
“You wouldn't have gotten in trouble at all if you just gave it to him,”She reminded me.
“And let my girl deal with consequences by herself? Never.”
“You're ridiculous,”She sighed, putting her head on the table as she looked at me. Doing the same, I leaned forward just an inch and kissed her cheek before pulling away.
“I love you,”I whispered.
“I love you too. Always have, always will.”
“You promise?”I asked, holding out my pinkie.
“Swear it,”She nodded, hooking hers around mine. Ignoring the fact that I had literally just ingested chemicals, we sat there in a comfortable silence, taking in each other's features like it was our first time seeing each other all over again.
