Michael's POV
I wake up with a smile on my face. Today is going to be so much fun. I can't wait to hang out with Penny. She's so pretty and funny. She has the most gorgeous smile. Her brother is quite the asshole, but I'm not trying to be with him.
I get up and go to my bathroom. I open my mirror and see the prescription pills. I'm feeling fine. No delusions. I don't need to take one right now. I'll take one later.
Once I'm all refreshed and smelling good, I grab my car keys, my fedora and my umbrella. I hate that I can't go out into the sun as much. I hope Penny doesn't find this weird. I open the umbrella and walk outside and head over to her house. I knock on the door.
The door swings open and her brother Ben looks at me. He notices the umbrella, then looks pass me at the sky. He looks at me again, then turns and yells,
"Penny! You're weird boyfriend is here and he has an umbrella! "
I hold my smile. He called me her boyfriend. Is it official already? Penny shouts,
"Shut up, Ben! Stop being a dick!"
I wait patiently as the door remains open. I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. Penny pops in front of the door and sees the umbrella. She then says,
"Ready?"
I smile and nod. She's wearing a blue tank top. I can see the top of her breasts. She's also wearing dark skinny jeans. Gosh she's beautiful. I bite my lip. I say,
"We're gonna take my car."
She nods. We cross the street again and get in my car. I say,
"It's a Rolls Royce."
She giggles and says, "I know. "
I smile and start it up. We make it to the school in minutes. We get out and I unlock the school doors. She asks,
"There's no one else here? No school club meetings? "
I smile and say, "Not today, I guess."
I open the door and let her in first. I ask,
"What class do you have first? "
She smiles and nudges me, "You know it's yours."
I laugh and say, "It must've slipped my mind."
We walk to my class. She asks,
"So what made you want to teach?"
"I always loved the idea. And sociology is an interesting subject. So..bam."
She laughs. We continue on. I show her to her next class, then her next class. Then I show her the cafeteria, which then its back to my class. She says,
"We need to take a break. I'm tired. "
I laugh and unlock my classroom door. I let her inside. She sits on top of her desk. I sit on my desk and look at her. She catches me staring and blushes. I chuckle.
"Stop staring at me like that."
I smile and stand up. "Stop staring at you like what?"
I slowly make my way to her. She giggles and says, "Like that! You're making me feel...weird. "
I know the feeling! I stand pretty close to her. She looks into my eyes. I raise my hand to her face. She shudders at my touch. I smile. She places her hand on my chest. I feel her pressure pushing me away.
"Um...Mr. Jackson, I already know where my next class is. May you take me home."
I smile and say, "Yes...is there anything you want before we head out?"
I can tell she's resisting the urge to kiss me. She smiles and shakes her head. I back up and open the door.
"After you."
She walks out. I close the door behind me and lock it. We got pretty far today. It'll hold me over...for now.
