Cassie's POV

"Helloooo everybody! So as you probably all know, your health teacher has been... well, he's not working here anymore. So I am your NEW teacher! And to be quite honest, I have no clue what I'm supposed to be doing here, I have a degree in math, but I am covering this class cause, you know, budget cuts and all that. So honestly, treat this class like a study hall, I couldn't care less what you all do, as long as you DO NOT DISRUPT ME and my reading."

Our new "substitute" teacher said all of that in one breath, and proceeded to sit down at the desk.

Everyone looked around for a couple seconds before erupting into conversations, some playing flappy bird on their phones, others listening to music.

"Well, at least we have the block to talk." Fynn says, smirking.

I blush and look down at the desk. I feel like someone is staring at me, and because of my paranoidness, I feel the urge to turn around, and give in. I catch Jake staring, and he snaps his head around, trying to play it off. I see him laugh at something Melissa said and his arm slowly finds its way to the small of her back.

I turn back around, my cheeks burning. I feel so stupid. Of course, I felt myself falling for him. I let myself feel something real for him. Something I haven't felt in a long time. But I now know that that was bullshit. But whatever. I have no connection to him anymore. No more handcuffs, no more presentation, because of the new teacher, and no more having to talk to Jake, EVER. I can deal with a couple "friend" dinners here and there, I'll just ignore him.

I'm done with Jake Satak.

I look over at Fynn, who's looking down at some YouTube video. Without thinking I grab his face and press my lips against his. His lips don't move, in shock probably, but they slowly move with mine, exploring my lips. His tongue slides onto my bottom lip, begging for entrance, which I gave him. His hands moved to the back of my neck.

And all I could think about, was hoping that Jake was watching.

"So... what do you want to do?"

I'm in Fynn's car, regretting this date. All I want to do, is go home and sleep. But I'm stuck with Fynn, I mean I can't just not hang out with him. I know I'm probably leading him on, what with me kissing him and everything. But Fynn isn't all that bad. He's nice and he treats me well. He doesn't ignore me or just fucking leave me stranded.

"Ummm, I don't really care, up to you." I respond with a smile.

"Why don't we just talk? And maybe do other things?" He says, sliding his hand up my leg.

"I'm kinda tired actually."

He sighs and lifts his hand from my thigh, placing it on the wheel.

"Ok, I'll drive you home."

After a very silent car ride, we make it to my house. I open the door.

"Wait, Cassie, before you go, I just have to get something off of my chest. I like you Cassie. A lot. I want to be with you, like exclusively. I know that you might not be ready, and I get that. And I'll give you time to think about this. To think about us. Just know that I'll always be there for you. Cassie, will you be my girlfriend?"
