10 Competition

Ezra

I get a text from my ex. Really bad timing as I'm laying on the couch with Victoria watching old time classics. "Oh dear god..." I say. "Who is it?" She asks. "My ex... Wife..." I reply, my parents were rich, and still are. They forced me to marry someone Victoria's age two years ago in December 2018. We divorced around June 2019 cause we liked each other, but she wasn't really happy in the relationship. She's Victoria's age which is 19 years old. And I'm 21. "She transferred here and is at the library..." I say. "She isn't joining the Teachers In Training, is she?" Victoria groans. "She can't. I'm in charge of the whole club right? If she tries out I'm the one who accepts or declines." I explain. "Is she pretty..?" Victoria questions. "She is, but not like you are, You are my one and only." I kiss her on the cheek. "I just feel so stressed. We had to miss the meeting, Sophia's now sick, I have to catch up with teaching right now, and now this." I explain. "Do we need another break to paradise to fix that?" She asks as She rolls herself over so when she lies down, we're face to face. "I'm fine. I've had enough days off. All I need to survive, is you." I smile at her.

It's the next day and while I'm teaching class I take a look at my students and see Raina Fox. My ex wife. It was really nothing though, we were dumb... It was a forced marriage but into the days, we got to know each other. I fell in love while she didn't feel the same. We told our parents we weren't truly happy, so they let us divorce. She sits there with her Chanel bag still clutched on to her arm, and she looks straight at me like we never fell in love, and she smiles. I give her a look that says: What is going on? I let everyone work in partners or alone and i go back to my desk in the back of the classroom. Of course, I let Victoria work with me. "So is that her over there?" Victoria asks. "Yup." I say as I grade the homework. "Come on, I'll help you grade that tonight. Why is she so bad though?" Victoria questions. "She never takes a second look unless she again, wants something to do with it. She probably wants to plan her revenge or something. Now no more questions, this counts as a grade for today's assignment." I remind her. "Ezra, I'm finished." She says. "You're one fast worker aren't you?" I say. "Babe, you gave us 11 questions for this pop quiz. I've been writing while we've been speaking until the last two things we said, AND I'm a straight A student, and you're surprised?" She reminds. "I love you." I put one hand on her leg. "I love you too." She smiles. I'd kiss her in this moment if I could but we can't let anyone know.
