The F-boy Project

Chapter 5: Adding, Subtracting and Multiplying isn't right

Adding, Multiplying and Subtracting isn't right

When I entered Geometry, Mercedes was writing furiously in her journal. I went to my desk, which was next to hers, and tapped her on the shoulder.

"What's wrong?" I asked as she looked at me with anger blazing in her eyes.

"Fucking Tyler Dorran, that's who," she spat, slamming her pencil onto her desk and turning to me.

I narrowed my eyes. "What did he do?"

Looks like I'm not the only one the f-boys are targeting today.

"He says I carry too much stuff so I couldn't carry the baby! He is just so difficult!" she snapped and Terrie, one of our classmates, looked at us.

"So it's true? You and Tyler did have sex? And you have a kid? Or is this your second one?" Terrie asked, staring at Mercedes.

Wait, second one? What?

Mercedes eyes narrowed and she whipped around to face Terrie.

"Why don't you and Martin get married and have children? You two will be great parents by telling your them that it's perfectly okay to listen to rumors," she said furiously, making Terrie shut up fast and look away.

I cautiously peeked at my best friend, who was gripping the edge of her desk so hard that her knuckles were white. Her nails were digging into the wood as well, and when the bell rang, she jumped, letting go almost immediately.

Our teacher, Ms. Tassle, began taking role and minutes later, started class.

"Get out your worksheets from last week and continue working on them," was all she said before returning back to her desk.

There was the rustling of papers as people found their worksheets from last week. I had already gotten mine out and was waiting for Mercedes to find hers. She was going through her binder quickly, but I could tell she was still pissed. God, I was going to hurt that boy...

"Valerie," said a voice behind me and I turned around to see that Antoni and Connor were behind me.

Antoni was staring me while Connor had a smirk on his face as he glanced at Mercedes.

"Yes?" I asked slowly, "What is it..."

Antoni opened his mouth to say something when Connor chuckled and said loudly for the four of us to hear. "Hey Mercedes, I'd like to be your math tutor for tonight: add a bed, subtract your clothes, divide your legs and multiply. I'm sure baby daddy Tyler wouldn't mind."

I almost choked on my own spit. Oh my God.

By this time, Mercedes had already found her paper, but when Connor said those words- she whipped around so furiously that the worksheet fell off the desk. He chuckled and winked at her.

"Nice ass."

With her eyes blazing with anger, my best friend got up from her desk and stomped on Connor's foot.

"Ouch," he gasped then smirked again. "Are you gonna be that feisty in bed?"

The next thing I knew, Mercedes kneed Connor in his man part- hard. He fell to the ground in pain, groaning and holding it.

"Don't mess with me when I'm pissed," she said darkly and was about to sit back down when Ms. Tassle called her.

"Mercedes," she said. "The front office called, they need to see you."

Mercedes froze but quickly turned on her heel, grabbed the hall pass, and left the room. I stared after her, wondering what was going on.

Connor still laid on the ground, while Antoni crouched by my desk. I shied away slightly, not wanting it to be more awkward than it should be, considering what happened second period. But, he didn't even mention what happened at all.
