Teenage love

Chapter 4: Biology class

Chapter 4

Ethan

When I come back home after dropping off Abbi, the house is still empty. I walk to the living room and put away the water bottles before I take my laptop and bag and walk up to my room. I put the laptop on the desk and throw my bag into a corner before I lay down on my bed and stare straight up at the ceiling.

I feel overwhelmed. I'm never gonna wash my cheek again. Abbi kissed me on this, but was it just to be polite because I kissed her on her forehead? I've been in love with Abigail since middle school when she was in singing performance. Her voice immediately caught my attention and since then I knew I was a goner charmed by a girl's beautiful singing voice. And her big beautiful eyes, which light up whether she is angry, sad, or happy.

When she stroked my cheek earlier, I became all warm inside of my body and I didn't want her to ever take away her soft and gentle hand. But does she know? Does she know that I'm in love with her? When I kissed her on the forehead, did she understand?

I hear the front door open and voices talking. Mom and dad are home. I hear someone go and rattle in the kitchen and another coming up the stairs. My bedroom door opens and to my relief, it's Dad's head peeking into my room.

"Hey Ethan," dad says.

"Hey Dad," I say and sit up. "How did it go today?"

"Perfectly okay, a lot of orders as usual," Dad says. "But I just wanted to say that you have to work tomorrow, you have to bake cakes, the ones we had in the freezer are all gone, the last once went this afternoon and I got new orders today."

"Sure dad, I can do that," I say.

"That's good, my boy," Dad says. "So the girl has gone home?"

"Yep, I drove her home half an hour ago," I reply.

"Like a true gentleman, then?" Dad chuckles. "We will call for you when the dinner is ready."

"Okay."

Dad smiles and leaves the room and closes the door behind him. Oh, my dad. I love him so much, he's the only one that really cares about me. If dad is around, mom doesn't hit me, but when he is not around, it's free for her to raise the damn hand towards me.

I lay down again. I feel how I miss Abbi. But I'll limit myself to be her friend, she's not in love with me, so I don't have any choice.

"I don't understand. She kissed you?" Sky asks with a broad smile.

We are in our biology lesson, and I just told Sky about yesterday.

"No, just on the cheek," I sputter.

Sky refuses to listen to what I say, the only thing he focuses on is the word 'kiss'.

"But it counts as something, right?" Sky asks.

"No, it doesn't," I say.

"But I can ask her if she likes you," Sky suggests mean. He stares at Sky back. She's sitting a few rows in front of us.

"NO," I shout loudly.

Our biology teacher Mrs. Wise stops talking and everyone stares at me and Sky

"Oh yes Ethan, you have to use a condom to prevent a pregnancy," Mrs. Wise says.

Sky puts his hand on his forehead and looks down at the table, embarrassed. I feel like I can't breathe. I feel myself become all red in my face. I didn't think I could ever be ashamed this much.

"Great”, I say, and the class starts giggling. "Forgive me, Mrs. Wise, I didn't listen, I hope everyone in this classroom knows that you have to use a condom to prevent pregnancies and STDs".

"You didn't listen? And you do know how to use a condom don't you?”

"Yes," I say hoarsely.

"Well, we'll see about that," Mrs. Wise says.

"Excuse me?" I ask horrified.

Is she going to force me to pull down my pants and make me put on a condom in front of the class?

"Yes, come here," Mrs. Wise says and waves at me to come forward.

This is not happening, please tell me that I'm dreaming, yes this must be a nightmare, I think while I'm walking up to the front of the class.

"Abigail you can also come up here", Mrs. Wise says.

What on earth does she want us to do? Am I going to take off my pants and is Abigail going to put a condom on my ... on my p***s?

Abbi becomes red on her beautiful face. She says nothing but walks up and stands next to me.

Mrs. Wise now has a banana in her hand. ”Abigail holds this in front of Ethan so he can put a condom on it," she says.

"Okay," Abbi says quietly.

She takes the banana and stands in front of me.

"Here you go Ethan," Mrs. Wise says evilly and gives me a condom.

I think she enjoys this embarrassing moment of mine. I really think she is. I take the condom from her. I can feel how Sky is grinning at me from ear to ear.

I cast a quick glance at Sky. I can see that I was right. He's trying to the utmost to not burst out laughing. He likes this as much as Mrs. Wise. Such a traitor. I open the condom package and take up the sticky piece of plastic that is covered with glidant. I put it on the banana.

"Good," Mrs. Wise says and now gives me a banana while she takes the one Abbi had. She gives Abbi a condom. ”And now I want you to do the opposite of before," she says.

I hold the banana in front of Abbi and she put the condom on. She just becomes redder and redder in her face. Oh my God, poor Abbi, it's my fault that we are standing up here right now.

When Abbi is finished, Mrs. Wise takes the banana.

"So class," she says. "Can you spot a mistake that Ethan did, a mistake that Abigail did not make?”

Brittany raises her hands.

"Ethan’s condom is broken," she says with a grin. ”Abbi’s is not”.

What? My condom broke? I look at it. It is broken. Jesus, this is embarrassing.

"Exactly Brittany," Mrs. Wise says. "How did it happen?"

Simon raises his hand.

"He wasn't careful when he opened it, he may have made a small scratch on it with his nail," he says cleverly. "And condoms are very fragile, so you have to be careful."

Bunch of know-it-alls.

"Good Simon," Mrs. Trinket says. "Ethan from now on I suggest you follow your classmate's example and listen in class."

"Yes Mrs. Wise," I said remorsefully.

Abbi giggles, then I notice that she had been looking at me, but now she quickly turns away her eyes.

"Good," Mrs. Wise says. "And please, remember to be careful when you have to use a condom for real."

Just as I'm about to respond, someone in the class shouts.

"Why? What girl wouldn't want to give birth to Ethan Scott's children?"

I stare out in the classroom and try to find the owner of the exclamation, but I fail.

”That was the silliest ... I've been standing here for an hour and talked about how important it is to use condoms, you are way too young to think about children”, Mrs. Wise says angrily. ”You as also too young for s*x, but even I have to admit that I can't stop you, the only responsible thing to do when you're doing the irresponsible thing is to use a condom!”

The bell rings and I sigh in relief. Finally. I almost run to the bench to get my stuff. Sky grins big. I know how much he wants to annoy me right now.

"Damn you if you say anything about this," I growl before he can say anything.

"What would I say?" Sky asks innocently. "It was just a regular biology class."

"Sure," I say as we begin to go out of the classroom.

Just when we walk out of the door, Abbi and Wendy catch up to us.

I become red on my face. ”I’m sorry Abbi, it was my fault," I say. "If I hadn't ... never mind, I’m sorry."

"It's okay Ethan", Abbi laughs.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am quite sure, after all, my condom didn't break”, she says slyly. "But we have to go now, bye."

"Okay bye".

She gives Sky a hug and then ... without warning she gives even me a quick hug before she wanders off with Wendy.

I stand in the same place as stiff as a statue while I rejoice inside of myself and I let a happy smile sneak up on my lips, silly I know, but you are in love then you are in love.

Sky laughs shake his head and pull me against him.
