Colbie turned to look at him and lifted a brow at his accusatory tone. She didn’t know who he thought she was, but his disrespect was not something she was about to take.
“That sounds like a personal problem to me,” Dallis spoke before she could. “You make it sound like he played the games for you. Don’t you have an assistant coach? The way I see it is if you’re so worried about having a hard time, then you sucked ass in the first place.”
Colbie’s eyes widened as much of the class began to laugh. “Dallis,” she stated in a scolding voice, and he turned to look at her. “Watch your language,” she told him.
He quickly gave herthatsmile before inclining his head. “My apologies, Ms. Morris.”
“For your information, Banks, we don’t suck, but we’re missing our star player and coach now. Both because of Ms. Morris.”
“You mean your star player that was too stupid to maintain a C average in all his classes without your coach bribing and trying to intimidate people to change his grade.” Dallis scoffed. “Still sounds like your team isn’t shit if your success relies on one player.”
“Dallis,” Colbie stated again.
“Right, language,” he responded with a smile before licking his lips, and she turned her back to him to head back to her desk.
“The next time is detention,” she threw over her shoulder. She looked back at him to see him raise an eyebrow as if to say,is that a promise?She didn’t know what he was up to and didn’t want to find out.
“You don’t know, jack, about our team.”
“I know you tend to lose far more games than you win,” Dallis responded, and the class broke out into laughter again.
“Class, settle down,” Colbie instructed.
“Screw you, Banks,” Justin counter.
“Nah, you’re far from my type. You can go fuck yourself, though.”
Colbie’s eyes went to Dallis, who was already looking at her, waiting for her to say exactly what he knew was coming.
“Detention,” she told him before sitting down at her desk. More than sure he’d gotten in trouble on purpose.
The lunch period was about to start, which meant that Dallis would come to her room for detention. She had always liked lunch detention when giving it to her students. It meant that she didn’t have to stay late after school.
It was only a moment later when Dallis walked in, closing the door behind him. Colbie looked up at him, raising a brow. He went to his seat in the right corner of the room where he usually sat and stared at her.
“So, why were you messing with Justin in class?”
Dallis shrugged. “I wasn’t messing with him. They do suck. On top of that, I wasn’t going to let him blame you for the shit Porter and Max brought onto themselves.”
Colbie shook her head. “I don’t always need you coming to my rescue. You know that, right? Besides, the other students could start to talk if they got suspicious.”
Dallis raised a brow at her. “I’m like that in all my other classes. So, it seems normal to them. I’m only good for you,” he finished with a smirk, and she couldn’t help but shake her head at him as she laughed.
“Come here,” Dallis requested as he slowly licked his lips.
“No. Absolutely not,” Colbie told him.
“What fun is it being together if we can’t at least do the taboo classroom play?”
Colbie narrowed her eyes at him, understanding now why he had deliberately gotten in trouble. She knew that he had been up to something.
He leaned back in his seat, drumming his fingers on the desk. “Either you come here. Or I’m coming up there. From my seat, no one passing by can see us through the window in the door.”
She glanced at the door and contemplated his words, concluding that he was right. She then recalled when he had explicitly asked her for that seat at the beginning of the year. He’d been planning to seduce her even then.
Still, though, Colbie was not about to give in to him. They were at school, and just because no one would see them didn’t mean someone couldn’t walk in.
“No, Dallis. We’re at school where you aren’t supposed to try anything, remember?”
