Authors note: this story concept came from ChillPillBerry and I absolutely loved it. I'm doing my best to bring the idea to life and give it justice so read and hopefully enjoy :)
Sean! I shout running over to him in the gym. It's my lunch break and I have some shocking news to tell him.
"Hey em, what's up? He replies while placing basket balls back where they belong.
I can't help but get caught up taking in his muscular physique but then again I can't help but be caught up on him in general. We've had a bit of a rocky past breaking up and making up during our high school days. Currently we're best friends and that's been going smoothly since we began working at degrassi together.
Sean is the P.E teacher he is absolutely amazing with the kids he knows how to make them feel like they are equal with him while demanding their respect at the same time I can't help but have adoration watching him.
I on the other hand have a completely different role at the school I'm the counselor. I love being able to make a difference in these kids lives helping them deal with the battles they are struggling with whether it's parental problems, relationships or struggling with preparing for collages I want to help.
So much has changed since Sean and I were together but one thing hasn't my feelings for him if anything they've only gotten stronger since reconnecting. Watching the way he's matured and the man he's grown into is amazing to mex he's gone through so many struggles but managed to overcome them against the odds. As much as I want to see if things could work if gave it another try I'm scared. I don't want to be rejected and look like a fool and i also don't want to lose his friendship.
"You okay? You're spacing out there" Sean interrupts my thoughts.
"Yeah sorry just got distracted. I have some to tell you. You're never going to believe it" I say earning a confused look from Sean.
"Go on" He says scrunching his eyebrows.
"Manny and Jay are getting married" I inform him happily. The look I receive from Sean's is one of pure shock.
"Are you joking?" He asks seriously. Causing me to lightly smack his arm.
"Yes! I wouldn't joke about that. Why is it that's hard for you to believe?"
"Just the Jay and Manny I know would never be a Jay and Manny in a relationship sense So them getting married? I could never see them getting married, Hell I couldn't see Jay getting married period."
"I see but while you were gone a lot changed, They are so in love Sean you should see how happy they are." I gush.
"Thats interesting. I can say i didn't see this coming but I'm happy for them." He says honestly.
"Well they wanted me to invite you to the wedding, Jay really misses you. He'll never admit it but he does. Please say you'll come?" I beg giving him the best set of puppy dog eyes i can muster.
"Don't look at me like that em, you know can't say no to you when you do."
"Please Sean" I repeat keeping the same pleading face.
"Weddings aren't my thing but, for you I'll go." He gives in.
"Thank you!" I chirp throwing myself into his arms hugging him tightly for a moment. I love the feeling of his touch.
"So do you wanna go get lunch?" I ask hopefully.
"I wish I could but I have some work to do before practice this afternoon. How about we have dinner?"
"Sure, just text me what time you want to meet" I accept happily before leaving the gym on my way back to my office.
Halfway back I notice a boy and girl having a heated altercation in the hallway. I eavesdrop for a moment to get an idea of what's going on.
"Eli I'm sorry but I can't make it my mom needs me." the girl apologizes seemingly try to calm down the boy who appears more irate.
"This the third time in the past week Clare! What about me!" The boy yells in an extremely aggressive tone.
After seeing things weren't going to calm down anytime soon if anything I'd predict they would get worse before better I decide it's best I intervene.
"Excuse me. I'm Emma Nelson, the guidance counsele I couldn't help but over hear you guys over here. Is everything alright? I ask politely to avoid confrontation.
I can tell by the boys disheveled appearance he could easily be set off at this point. The girl on the other hand seems more calm and put together I assume she's delt with this behavior from him before.
"Oh we're sorry to cause a scene we were just going back to class right Eli?" She asks with assertiveness.
"We'll talk about this later Clare" The boy states anger obvious in his tone before he gives her a menacing look and walking away.
The girl who's name is obviously Clare turns to walkway looking completely emotionally drained. I can't help but feel for the poor girl i know what it's like to be a teen girl utterly in love with a boy that has his fair share of demons.
"Clare wait!, it's Clare right?" I call after
her.
"am I in trouble? She asks turning around looking at me I can see tears brimming her eyes I know that feeling so well.
"No, of course not. I just wanted to talk to you for a minute." I assure her.
"Okay"
"I'm assuming Eli is your boyfriend?"
"He is." she answer simply.
"I noticed he was a little intense back there. I just want you to know if you ever need or want to talk I'm hear to listen."
"Thank you. I'll keep that in mind" She smiles but I can tell she's still upset.
I decide to let it go and watch as she walks back to class hoping she'll decide to come talk to me instead of bottling up whatever's going on. Like I have much room to talk about that. I've been hiding my feelings for Sean for some time now and I'm not sure if I have any intentions to tell him at all. I don't want to risk out our friendship but then again it almost feels like I'm risking it not telling him it just keeps getting harder to hide my feelings.
I sigh taking a seat at my desk letting my thoughts wonder however wondering always means endlessly thinking about Sean Cameron right now all i can think about is dinner with him tonight.
