Guess what??? I still don't own Degrassi!
Chapter Seven: Caught.
They'd managed two weeks, and Iris was so happy she could explode. The balancing act was killing her, however. Teaching, her friends, Craig...it was all so difficult. If it had been any other man she'd have let him go, but not Craig.
IT was a Wednesday, like any other day. A couple students were staying after class, as usual-the web design class was turning out to not be a blow off like most students had thought. Iris was usually the one who stayed late with the students, because of Mr. Simpson's famly life. He'd been a little sick lately, ending the Chemo was getting to him.
Today the students staying were Ellie Nash and Craig. Iris sat at the desk, pretending to read a book but really staring at Craig. She didn't get to spend nearly enough time with him. It was nice to just be in the same room.
Ellie finished first, and left. Craig was still working.
"Craig, are you going to be done soon?"
"I think so...I just need to check the formatting."
"ok, just checking." She knew Craig was working hard in all his classes, partially because of her. He knew getting in trouble could lead to not seeing Iris, and that was unexceptable in Craigs mind.
"Hey, it looks good." Craig nodded at the assignment and then emailed it to Mr. SImpson. "So, we're alone."
"We're also at school." She smiled at Craig as he came over to her. "So you know we can't do anything."
"its almost four thirty. no one's here" Craig slid his arms around Iris. "I've missed you."
"you're seeing me Saturday." She hugged him back "And I've got to get going soon, anyway. I'm getting a haircut."
"I forgot about that...but just one kiss won't hurt." He kissed her then.
She kissed back and somehow they wound up leaning agsinst the desk, her legs wrapped around his waist.
"Baby, we need to stop." Iris managed to get that out as Craig kissed her neck. "now."
"ok, babe." he pulled away then, and got ready to leave and head to his locker.
Neither of them had seen Spinner, fresh from a make up English test. He'd been walking down the hall when he'd noticed Mr. Simpson's light was on, so he looked in the window, to find Miss Masters making out with a man. And not just making out, they were really getting it on, there in the classroom.
It wasn't until he'd pulled away that he saw it was Craig. Spinner saw Miss Masters run a hand thorugh his hair, then say goodbye. They were close enough to the door for Spinner to hear what they were saying.
"Ok, I'm going now...I'll see you in class tomorrow..and then Saturday night? Marco's got a date with Mitch."
"I've heard. Its all Mitch is talking about...See you then."
"Bye Iris." Spinner couldn't believe it. not only was Craig Manning making out with the student teacher, but he had a date with her for that weekend.
Spinner followed Craig to his locker. "That was a shock"
Craig looked up. "What was?"
"What I just saw in Mr. SImpson's room."
"What did you see" Just play dumb, and maybe Spinner will let it go.
"You and Miss Masters, making out. Big time. Something you want to tell me?"
"Spin, you can't tell anyone about Iris and I."
"Craig..You're going to get caught again."
"NO, we won't. Spin, just don't tell anyone."
"Whats in it for me?"
"Marco and I can get you a fake ID." Craig hoped that Marco would understand why he was doing this.
"Done, then. you have a week to get me the ID, or I send a message out about you two on the Degrassi internet system."
THat taken care of, Craig headed home to call Marco.
Iris headed over to Spike's salon to get her hair cut. As Spike shaped her hair, she asked Iris the question that both her and Snake have been wondering. "Whats on your mind."
"Have you ever had a secret, that just...that you wanted to shout so badly?"
"Yes, Iris, i have." She thought about when she started dating Snake, and how badly she wanted to tell Emma, but coudln't. "YOu can tell me anything, you know."
"I can't tell you this..if Snake found out..."
"I won't tell Snake."
"you can't tell anyone, i don't know if i'm breaking a law." She paused then blurted it out "I'm dating Craig."
"I don't know any Craigs but...Craig Manning? He's.."
"16, which is legal here. But he's also a student. I love teaching, I met him over winter break and didn't know how old he was until I walked into Degrassi. But he's not...typical. He's been through a lot. I really love him. And now..."
"And now what?"
"And now I feel like I need to pull away. RUn away." She looked Spike in the eyes through the Mirror. "I'm a week late."
"Have you taken a test yet?" Spike watched as Iris broke the trance of her new hairstyle to shake her head. "WEll, you're my last apointment of the day...lets head over to my place and take the test. I'll kick Snake out.
"That would...be a good thing."
