(2) monday: soy boy

                                    

                                          

"It's been two whole weeks now, will you mess with Mr. Kim again yet?" Jin asks, biting a piece of pizza and sitting down next to me on his bedroom floor.
                          
"I want to. I hate to admit it but... he's kind of hot actually when he's mad. I may or may not want to get that reaction from him again."
                          
"You seriously have a teacher crush, don't you?" He scoffs.
                          
"I can't tell. He's hot and all but that'd be so wrong, crushing on a teacher."
                          
"Well, I think I might be gay for that man." Jin laughs.
                          
I choke on my water and start laughing. 
                          
"Understandable." I nod in agreement.
                          
I shove the box open and grab my fourth slice of pizza out.
                          
"Hey, remember how you messed with our math teacher freshman year who was new?" 
                          
"Yes, why?"
                          
"You should do that again! That was hilarious, it was my favorite class to go to. She never found out it was you either." 
                          
"It is senior year and that would be pretty funny..." I contemplate, "-I'll mess with Mr. Kim and see how long I can go before he realizes it's me. I have a feeling he'd catch on quicker since I'm already on his bad side." 
                          
"You're right, be careful so you aren't caught. When will you start?" He asks, excited.
                          
"I'll mess with him every single day next week." 
                          
"Woah, you're a bold one. What if he catches on?" 
                          
"He won't, I'll just subtly irritate and fluster him and make sure he doesn't know it's me." I say as if it's just that simple.
                          
"Art is pretty boring so at least I can look forward to that class for some reason now."
                          
"It's boring to you because you aren't good at it." I point out.
                          
He chuckles.
                          
"You got me there. Must be nice to be a Picasso in training." He nudges me, one of the top art students at our school.








                          
I walk into class earlier than the rest of the students.
                          
It's Monday and no one's in the class yet but me.
                          
I quickly spot his cup of coffee, the same cup I notice every morning that he leaves on his desks when he goes to get stuff from the copy machine before class starts. 
                          
I check the door behind me and see the coast is clear. I quickly grab his cup and run over to the sink we have since it's an art room and dump it. I pull out my bottle of soy sauce and fill his cup up halfway. 
                          
I fill the rest up with water so it's not as thick.
                          
I clean off the coffee in the sink and run back to his desk, placing his nice hot cup of soy sauce down in the same spot. I exit the room before he or any other students could see me and wait to re-enter when the final bell rings.
                          
If I'm tardy then he won't suspect me. 
                          
How could someone mess with his coffee if they had walked in late and came to class after him?
                          
"I'm so sorry, I couldn't catch the bus today so I had to walk." I apologize to Mr. Kim as I walk sheepishly.
                          
"Just... sit." He sighs, shutting the door.
                          
I walk to my desk and Jin gives me a 'what the hell are you on about' look since I don't even take a bus. I mouth the words 'you'll see' to him and take a seat.
