Against the Rules
Chapter 14
The bell rang signaling the beginning of the period. Today would be Serena's first day back and Darien sat by his desk watching the clock waiting to see if she would keep her promise to him.
He sat as he watched the students slowly start making their way into the classroom and taking their seats, and then she came in books in hand ready to learn as he smiled at her and she smiled back as he turned to her and said "meet me after class. I have to talk to you"
Serena nodded her head as she took her seat wondering what it was that he had to speak to her about as the last student came running in before the final bell rang.
Mr. Kenny stood up in front of the class as he spoke to his students "I have news for all of you. I will only be teaching your class for a few more weeks instead of to the finish of the semester as originally expected. I'm sure that will make some of you very happy"
Serena sat there stunned she couldn't believe he was leaving and why didn't he say something sooner, and then she realizing this probably had something to do with what happened this was all her fault that he lost his job as one of the other students raised their hand and asked "Mr. Kenny why are you leaving?"
He looked to the student as he told her "I actually was offered a permanent teaching position in another district and I will be starting there next month"
The students all started congratulating him and telling him how great it was having him as their teacher except Serena. She knew this was a good opportunity for him, but somehow she just felt like she was being abandoned again.
Darien finished answering all of the student's questions that they had asked, but he could see the disappointed look on her face and he knew why. He had promised to help her and now he would be leaving. It was a big surprise to him also when he got the call last night offering him the position it would be a big change, but he knew it was something to good to pass up.
Darien started the class and gave them their assignment to work on. Serena tried hard to concentrate on the assignment, but at the moment all she could think of was Mr. Kenny and that he was leaving and what kind of teacher would she have to be get stuck with now
Darien looked at the clock seeing the bell was about to ring as he turned to the class and told them "please leave your papers on my desk before heading to your next class"
And then the bell rang, all the students got up and did as they were told except one. Serena sat there and sulked. When the last student walked out of the room Darien closed the door signaling for no one to come in until he opened it again as he walked over to her desk and took the seat in front of hers. She looked up at as she told him "you broke your promise"
Darien felt bad he knew in her eyes that was exactly what he was doing, but he was just trying to build a better life for himself as he looked to her and said "I know you feel that way, but I am going to do my best to help you while I am still here and then while I'm gone you can continue working hard. Serena you're a very smart girl who has a lot of potential. You don't need me to do well"
She just shook her head as she told him "yes I do. Nobody believes in me the same way you do"
Darien looked to her as he told her "I do believe you and I always will. I'll tell you what how about after I leave I'll give you my email address that way if you have any questions about something you can just email it to me and I'll help you that way"
Serena nodded her head okay she knew better though once he got settled in the new school he would not even think about her again all she would be to him is a past troublesome student. Just the way all the other teachers looked at her as she told him "okay, sure whatever" she began to get up from her seat as she looked at him coldly saying "unless there's anything else I'm going to head to my next class now"
Darien looked to her glad that she had put her head towards doing well in school like he asked her to, but wondering how long it would last as he turned to her and said "there is one more thing"
She turned to him as she said "yeah what is it?"
Darien looked to her as he told her "I have arranged it with Mrs. Carlo that you will spend your detention here"
Serena looked at him surprised wondering what kind of bogus detention that was. What was she suppose to sit there and feel even more guilty then she already had as Darien started to explain "come here every day after your last period books in hand ready to study and I'll help you"
Serena looked at him as she said "and what if I say no and don't show up"
Darien looked to her as he told her "then you have skipped your detention which was set upon you by Mrs. Carlo and you broke your promise to me"
She just looked at him as she told him "you broke your promise first" as she turned around and walked out of the class as Darien watched her walk out worrying what she would do. She had come so far in such a short time and he didn't want to see her blow it all now.
