So this idea came to me from watching one of those creepy Lifetime movies.
I normally write with OC's but I decided to write a story without one.
This story is for Vivy. Only because she has waaaaayyy too much faith in me and she's like the only one i write for.
The title comes from Kris Allen's song My Weakness. It came on shuffle as I was writing and I knew it was the perfect title.
I'm not sure how long this will be or how often i'll update, seeing as i got back to school next weekend.
I will try my best to keep up and not pull another My Muse and wait like a year to write another chapter. I promise.
So, Here it is...
My Weakness
Being back in his hometown was weird, after being away in college for four years. Kendall found himself an apartment even though his mother begged him to move back in with her. As much as he loved his mother and sister, Kendall was a grown man now and needed to live on his own.
The real world came quick. Not many schools were looking for teachers. Kendall got lucky though. Back home for a week and an opening popped up in the PE department at the local high school, which he was an alumnus of. There had to of been a hundred people interviewed for the job and Kendall was the lucky one who they liked the most. He was starting in two weeks as the new PE teacher.
He wasn't nervous; well he was a little nervous. He hadn't been in high school for over four years; he didn't know how different things would be. He also didn't know any other teachers, well, as of now.
The first day at school was just an orientation type thing. All the students came in late and they had an assembly but the teachers came early so they could get to know one another. Like an early teachers mixer.
Kendall only recognized one person, Logan Mitchell. They graduated together, were never in the same crowd but talked a bit in the classes they were in together.
So instead of being alone all night Kendall went up to talk to Logan.
"Logan Mitchell" Kendall said walking up to him.
"Wow. Kendall Knight, what in the world are you doing here?" Logan asked, surprised at his presence.
"I'm the new PE teacher," Kendall told him.
"Right on. I'm the chemistry teacher. And biology. And AP Chem and AP Bio." Logan bragged.
"Wow. You're a busy guy." Kendall joked.
"I'm just the smartest one here" Logan joked.
"Glad to see things haven't changed!" Kendall laughed.
Logan playfully punched Kendall in the arm and the two laughed together for a good moment.
Once the laughter died down Kendall picked the conversation back up.
"Is this your first year too?"
"No, second. I graduated early. Smarty pants remember?"
"Gotcha."
Kendall basically spent the rest of the day glued to Logan's side. For once Kendall wasn't popular and wasn't the root of every conversation. It made him feel out of place but he knew Logan, Logan was nice; he wouldn't be lonely here after all.
Kendall was stationed at the main door to guide students in for the assembly.
He didn't recognize any of these kids.
Kendall turned away for a quick second to see where Logan was when his foot was stepped on. Stepped on hard.
He grunted, holding in a scream when a hand landed on his shoulder.
He looked up to see a tall, tan boy with hazel eyes and soft brown hair.
He was gorgeous.
He's a high school boy Kendall. He's too young.
Kendall shook the thoughts away.
The kid spoke to him then, he had a sweet, yet deep and soft voice.
"Hey sorry man" He said.
"It-it's okay" Kendall told him.
"These kids are really immature sometimes, they push a lot" the boy said.
"It's alright, really. Go take your seat" Kendall told him.
The boy turned to walk away and Kendall's eyes followed him. Kendall even caught the boy turn around and smile at Kendall.
Kendall was thankful that the assembly was starting so he could think of something other than the boy.
Logan found him and they sat next to each other.
"What's got you so flustered?" Logan asked him.
"Just nervous, you know? What happens at this thing anyways?" Kendall asked him.
"Oh they go over new policy and introduce the new teachers." Logan told him.
Kendall felt nauseous.
"No. Noooooooo. I cannot get up there." Kendall pleaded.
"Oh please Mr. Popular, what's the big deal?" Logan joked.
Before he could answer he was being called up on stage.
"Your new PE teacher, Mr. Knight. Take it easy on him and he'll take it easy on you. He used to be THE star hockey player for this school. He's tough." The principal said.
Kendall just stood up at his seat and waved around to all the students.
The hazel eyed boy caught Kendall's attention, smiling and clapping for Kendall.
Kendall quickly turned back around and sat down.
Logan giving him a weird look, shrugged and patted Kendall on the back.
The assembly was finally over and Kendall just sat in his seat staring at the stage while the students filed out.
Logan stayed by Kendall sensing something was wrong.
"Um, Kendall. Care to explain what has you so frazzled?" Logan asked him.
"This is just a lot more press-"
Kendall couldn't finish because that sweet, deep voice interrupted them.
"Mr. Mitchell, how's it going?" he asked.
Kendall didn't look up but he knew who it was.
"James, it's going good. Have you met Mr. Knight yet?" Logan asked him.
He laughed, adding "Yeah, someone pushed me into him earlier. Nice to officially meet you" He said holding his hand out to Kendall.
Kendall shook his hand finally looking up.
"James is it? Nice to meet you" Kendall said.
"Yeah, James. I just came over to see if you were going to help coach the hockey team, since you are the lead scorer and best player this school has ever had. I mean, until I break all your records." The boy joked.
"I uh….I'm just doing PE for now. Sorry." Kendall told him.
James shrugged and started walking away, but added, "I'll get you to help us out soon enough!" before he was gone out of the auditorium.
Logan just stood there staring at Kendall.
"What?!" Kendall asked when he noticed the staring.
"Oh, nothing." Logan scoffed.
"Seriously Logan, what" Kendall was serious now.
"It just nice to see another teacher look at a student that way. I thought I was alone." Logan told him slightly whispering.
"Wait, what? You think I'm into a high school boy? Logan, come on, I'm a teacher. Also like four years older than him." Kendall laughed.
"Whatever you say Kendall, see you tomorrow." Logan said walking up the aisle.
"You're wrong!" Kendall shouted after him.
Logan laughed and continued walking.
As he was walking out of the auditorium the principal and another familiar face stopped Kendall.
"Mr. Knight, you might remember this man?" He said.
"Coach Griffin, how's it been?" Kendall said shaking the coach's hand.
"Been well. It would be even better with you co-coaching my team this year. We've been good, but not as good when you were here. I've had a few requests to have you help. Think you're up for it?" He asked Kendall.
Kendall thought for a minute, but his instinct took over.
"I would love to help out." Kendall said proudly.
"Great. See you at 6:30 tomorrow morning at the rink!" The coach said as him and the principal walked away.
Regret washed over Kendall but there was no backing out now.
Just ignore the boy. Do your job. He doesn't exist.
James made him weak, and as long as Kendall didn't give into temptation everything would be great.
Nice reviews are welcomed!
