THE HOOK UP

Today I substituted at Dos Pueblos again. For math. Again. This time I subbed for my friend Matt Long, who is "so hot" and "not too old" according to some girls in his fourth period class. Those kind of conversations always make me smile. I don't know why. I think high school romance is just so funny, and hearing students talk about crushes and whatnot always makes me laugh and shake my head.

But who am I to judge? I still haven't figured out LOVE enough to find that special someone.

Yet.

Speaking of which, those same girls tried to set me up with my longtime friend Courtney Medel, who also teaches at Dos Pueblos, in the English department. They said, "Do you know Ms. Medel?"

"Yeah, I do," I replied with a smile.

"She's cute..."

"I know," I replied with another smile. This time I smile because those kids are so silly for trying to play cupid when they hardly know me.

"Ooooohh you think she's cute! Hook it up! You want me to talk to her? I'll be your match maker. For just 20 bucks I can get you a date with her. For 40 bucks I'll get her to pay."

Ha ha, who comes up with that stuff, seriously?
