Thank you all for the feedback. Thank you Lizzy for beta'ing. And I hope everyone enjoys this part.
Chapter 30
By the time his English class with Liz rolled around, Alec had come up with a game plan for getting back at his naughty student who let him be jealous over her possible relationship with another teacher. As soon as the previous English class left, he hurried to his next classroom, the one where Liz would be.
Alec got there within a minute and leaned against the front of his desk waiting for that beautiful brunette to pass the threshold. As he waited, he fiddled with the pieces of paper in his pockets. There were ten in total. Each one with a hand written sentence designed to tease her as he had been.
When Liz entered the room, her eyes immediately sought him out. However, there was barely enough time for either to do more than smile at one another before other students started pouring in.
He watched as Liz walked—well sashayed—down the aisle to her seat. There was an extra bit of swish added to that walk that was just for him.
Alec breathed in a bit heavier than normal but kept his slightly warm, nice guy teacher façade intact. Let her tease all she wants, he’d have the upper hand once class began. He made sure of it.
Students continued to make their way into the room and to their seats. One student made it just as the last bell rang. “Just in time.” Alec told him.
With a nod and brief wave of acknowledgement, the student took his seat.
“Alright, well it seems I haven’t scared anyone off from last class. I’ll just take role to be sure, and then we’ll get started on today’s lesson plan.”
He picked up the roster and read through the names as he had on the first day, except this time using the nicknames they asked to be called by. Once that task was done, he picked up another sheet. This one also had the student’s names on it, only this one wasn’t a role call sheet—it was a seating chart.
Alec had thought long and hard about this chart. Mostly though, he thought about where he wanted to put Liz while keeping an eye on X5-711 at the same time. He wanted to be able to look at one, Liz, and see the other, Alex, clearly. At first he thought of putting Liz in the back row; that way he could casually touch her or give her notes more often that wouldn’t be caught by the rest of the students. However, if he did that, then Alex would have to be right next to Liz or in front of her, and since he planned on passing by Liz often, he’d be getting the back of Alex’s head a lot.
With that being the case, he decided on Liz being in the very front row. Granted, he would have to be sneakier about his note passing or possible touching, but he’d be able to be at the front of the room and see Alex with little to no problem.
“Alright everyone,” He held up the piece of paper. “This is the seating chart.” Alec waited for the groans to pass before he continued. “So everyone, gather up your belongings, stand over on that side of the room,” he pointed toward the windows, “and come forward and sit at the desk assigned to you when I call your name.”
~*~*~
Liz stood next to Alex in front of the cold heater and windows waiting for Alec to tell her where she’d sit for the rest of the year.
“So, where were you this morning?” Alex whispered in her ear.
Instead of answering, Liz smirked and quickly flicked her gaze over to their teacher, who called Tess’s name and tapped the desk she’d been assigned too. Alex’s new friend, and her still non-friend, would be sitting in the second set of desks from the window and two rows up from the front.
Alex chuckled lowly. “I knew it.”
“Shut up. Not like you haven’t gone to see Isabel in the early morning hours.” She whispered back.
“Yea, but she’s not exactly forbidden in the same way he is.” He shot back smartly.
“Liz Parker.” Alec spoke her name, and she whipped her widening eyes toward him. “Your new seat.” He patted the top of the desk. Alec had placed her in the very front row, directly across from his desk.
With a nod, she went to the desk he indicated and sat. Alec continued calling out names, and Alex’s seat was two seats behind hers. She smiled at her friend and brother and turned back to the front.
Alec made his way back to the front row of desks next to Liz. He, as if by accident, brushed his fingers against her elbow as he walked by. She kept the big grin that she so desperately wanted to give, hidden away and settled for a simple, sedated, nothing had happened face.
“Max Evans.” When Liz heard that, the smile she felt bubbling up inside her quickly dissipated. Max would be sitting next to her for the rest of the year. Damn. She could hear it now, they were sitting next to each other, and clearly they were meant to be.
Liz inwardly flinched. She shouldn’t be so hard on Max. They were at one point extremely close…or as close as she would allow herself to be to another person. She had been thinking of a future with him, and now she didn’t. She had the whole summer to reevaluate her feelings for Max, but Max only had a couple weeks. Maybe she could ease up and not be so cold to him. She needed to talk to Maria about this.
Although she promised not to be cold to Max, she didn’t smile back at him when he sat down next to her. She just nodded, acknowledging him, and played with the corner of her text book. No reason to get his hopes up.
~*~*~
Alec hopped up onto his desk once everyone was in their assigned seats. “Ok. Now that we have that piece of business out of the way, we are going to start on our first week’s assignment. It’s something very easy and relatively painless. Write about what you did over your summer vacation.”
Max raised his hand.
“Yes?” Alec pointed to him.
“How long does this have to be?”
“As long as it’s more than a paragraph and less than a page, it’ll be just fine. You’ll all get twenty minutes to work on it, then you’ll turn it in at the front here. When you each come up here with your finished paper, I will hand you questions for the first short story you’ll be reading for this class. Once everyone has the assignment questions, we’ll talk more about it.” Alec explained to everyone. “Ok, your time starts now.”
The entire class pulled out sheets of paper. A couple had to ask their neighbors for a piece of paper, not prepared at all for the unexpected assignment.
Alec briefly wondered what Alex and Liz would say they did that summer. They obviously couldn’t tell the truth, but he was curious about what story they’d spin.
While the students wrote, some furiously and some as slow as molasses, Alec began to walk up and down the columns of desks. He had, in his spying on the real Alec Spencer, learned that the man could barely sit still. He preferred to move and be active, so he incorporated that into his façade of the real man. It also gave him ample opportunity to hand Liz the handwritten notes he planned to give her.
As he walked down the aisle that Liz sat at the front of, he carefully palmed the first of the notes. He momentarily stopped behind Liz, as he had with a couple other students, both male and female, and stood over her as she wrote. Alec knew the moment she knew he was behind her. Her pen jolted to a stop, it was only for a fraction of a second, but it was enough.
Casually, he dropped the small folded piece of paper onto her desk and then continued on his perusal of the other students work.
~*~*~
Liz smirked at the paper drop. What was Alec up too? She didn’t read the paper right away. Instead she finished the next two sentences of her assignment, and then, as nonchalantly as possible, opened it and laid it flat against her paper and desk.
I can still taste you.
Liz straightened at the note. She coughed a little, hiding the surprised but pleased gasp. Max glanced over at her with a questioning expression, but Liz ignored it keeping her eyes trained on her paper.
~*~*~
Alec had heard her gasp and cough when he went up to the blackboard and started writing some information down on it. Take that you little minx. He grinned widely at the board. Although they had kept their encounter that morning strictly to making out, that didn’t mean their hands stayed in one spot.
His fingers had delved beneath her blue jeans as she rocked against his lap. They had both teased each other until their faces were flushed but neither giving the other that final moment of satisfaction.
Alec finished writing on the board, turned, and sat in the chair watching the students as they finished their paper. Liz, as expected, was the first one done. She stood up from her seat and took her paper up front setting it in front of him.
He smirked slightly but didn’t give any other outwardly appearance of amusement toward her. Instead, he reached over to the right of him and gave her the questions for the next assignment, along with another handwritten note.
The only indication Liz gave to show she had the note was a simple quirk of the eyebrow. With a gentle pop of her hip, she made her way back to her seat. Alec leaned back in his desk chair waiting for the other students. Alex was next followed by more and more students until all the assignments were in. Again, this time as he handed the last student the set of questions, he saw the blush creep up Liz’s chest and face as she read his note.
Clearing his throat, Alec stood up and put his hands in his pants pockets. “All right. Do you all have the questions?” The students nodded, except Liz, who was breathing a little harder than normal and rubbing the back of her neck. “Good. On the top of the page is where you’ll find which short story, and its page number in your textbooks, you’re going to be reading to be able to answer these questions. It’s not too long, only ten pages. This assignment will be due on Monday of next week. Normally, these questions that go with the reading material will be given on a Friday and due the following Monday. Is that clear?”
Liz nodded and lifted her gaze to look directly at him. The blush that pinked her skin was still visible, but now there was a hint of defiance and retribution in her eyes. But was she going to wait till lunch, or would she start now? Within seconds, he knew his answer.
