As of late, you’ve been finding a new way to keep yourself entertained after you came home from school. Every teacher sent unimportant notifications on Remind, but you, being the resourceful person you were, set out to message your english teacher.

It all started off with a simple ‘hi how are you doing?’ type of deal, until it became more habitual and frequent. Very frequent. Thankfully, English class didn’t need a lot of grading because Zach was on his phone a lot. Yes —you could call him Zach now instead of Mr. Hoskins. He was a younger teacher, 26 years old to be exact, he needed respect from most of his students but let it slide over the phone with you.

The two of you had been messaging back and forth the entire day before and after school. It wasn’t until he reminded you that you checked.

How much longer are you staying up? I don’t want you to wake up sleepy for school tomorrow, especially not if it was my fault 😅

Damnit. You looked at the upper corner of your phone, 11:27 pm. Maybe he was right. But… you couldn’t help but need to talk just a little longer.
