The Valentine's Date Mistake
Sure, working with her worst enemy should have zero consequences.
I despise Landon Calloway. He’s egotistical, thinks he’s always right, and assumes he can steal a classroom that is rightfully mine. I thought every member of the teachers and staff at Alvin High School knew how much we loathed each other, so when Mr. Hendrix (the Principal) suggested I help Mr. Calloway with the Sophomore class presidency’s Valentine’s dance, I felt completely blindsided. Now I have to find a date for the dance I’m suddenly chaperoning, and instead of my best friend accepting my wallows, she somehow convinces me to sign up for her online dating app to find a date for the dance. Instead of no guys on my radar, four are trying to message me all day. It seemed like an okay plan at the time, but now… I don’t think so. I understand numbers—1+1 always equals 2—but when it comes to dating, things never seem to add up. I’d give up on it if I wouldn’t appear like a loser of a teacher who had no date on Valentine’s. My students already didn’t love me because I taught math. If I showed up alone, that would give my students and Mr. Calloway something else to hold over my head.
