EMMA’s POV :
The next day at school, I was avoiding Mr. Hayes at all costs. It was the right thing to do. I just needed to get him out of my system so I could function normally again. A Mr. Hayes detox, I called it.
I was doing well since Mr. Hayes mostly stayed in his art studio and I didn’t have that class today. I chose to focus my energies on my friends and studies instead. Tiff, Carrie, Mark, and I were having lunch in the quad. It was still September, so the weather was warm and nice.
Mark was telling us gossips he heard from the teachers’ lounge. Something about Ms. Diaz, our Spanish teacher, was being set up on a date with Mr. Hayes. I rolled my eyes as soon as I heard his name. The detox was gonna be harder than I thought.
“Why would Mr. Hayes go out with Ms. Diaz
