"Have a great day kids, love you" said Zack as the kids got out of the car.
"we will dad, love you too" said Rachel, David, and Noah in unison
They walked off and Zack watched them go in
"Okay little missy, time to take you to preschool" he said to Catherine
"Okay daddy: said Catherine with a smile
Zack drove his jeep and started thinking about the day ahead. He had papers to grade, classes to teach, and Mr. Belding had a big announcement. Maybe he wants to tell us about his hair plugs. Zack chuckled and Catherine looked at him funny but he smiled back. He was most concerned about what to say to Kelly when he saw her. It was going to be awkward. Zack drove up to the preschool and walked Catherine to her class.
"I will see you little sweetheart, I love you" Zack said as he kissed her on the cheek
"I love you too daddy" she said with a smile
He watched her go off and play with her friends. He smiled and walked back to his car. He drove to bayside and parked in his spot. He gave himself one last look in the mirror. He saw hair that was going brown but still had blonde streaks. He saw a much older Zack. He gave his hair one last brush and went inside Bayside. Walking down these halls gave him so many memories. He walked by Kelly's locker and remembered when he gave her the "friendship" ring. That was one of the best moments in his life. He walked to the teacher's lounge and looked in his mailbox and Slater walked in.
"Hey Slater." said Zack
"Hey Zack" Slater replied
"You look awful" Zack said with a smile
"Thanks preppie, I had a bad night sleep" Slater said trying to hide the massive hangover he had
"Well, don't be too tired to beat valley" Zack said with a chuckle
"Oh don't worry about that, anyway, any progress with you and Kelly?" Slater said as he took a sip of his coffee
"Actually, yes. She called last night and asked me to pick up the kids. The way she said it though, she wanted me" Zack said with a teasing smile
" wow, too bad she didn't say you needed to pack the kids lunch. That would have been a signal of you to move back in." Slater said as he shoved Zack's arm
"ha ha. Better get to class. see you at the reunion" Zack said as he walked out the door
"Later preppie" Slater said
Zack walked into the classroom and the bell rang. Students started walking in saying "what up Mr. Morris, or "yo Mr. M"
Zack walked to the front of the room.
"Alright class, settle down. Today we are going to read some parts from Romeo and Juliet"
The class groaned.
"I know, I know. But you know, Romeo had some good tricks to get Juliet. Becky and Tommy will you stand up." Zack said. He knew that Tommy had a thing for Becky just as he had for Kelly.
"Read from Act 2 scene 2"
Becky started to read "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou romeo…"
Zack started to think about the day he read Romeo and Juliet to Kelly in class. She said that was where she started to like him. Zack started to think about the first year of his marriage. He read poetry and wrote poems for Kelly all the time. He surprised her everyday with flowers and gifts. He hadn't done that in a long time. Zack got a look on his face. He had an idea on how to get Kelly back.
"Mr. Morris" Becky said
Zack looked up
"We're done with the scene" she said
"Oh, Thank you. For homework read scenes 3 and 4" said Zack as the bell rang
All day Zack waited for the last bell to ring. After the last bell rang, he went to his car. He picked up the kids and drove to his parents house. He went up to the attic searching for items for his "project".
