...I think this wait goes way beyond just neglect..
"What happened?" Lancer ignored Danny and I as we walked in after dropping Tucker off and talked to Ms. Stuth instead. She relayed the story bit by bit, having to stop every once in a while to recompose herself. I barely paid attention to any of it, I was perfectly content to escape the real world and stay wrapped in Danny's arms. Hardly anything anyone said actually made it to my brain until Lancer addressed me personally.
"Miss Manson, I hope you realize your days here are limited. You should be able to finish this school year without your pregnancy becoming a problem, but you'll have to transfer out when the new year starts." I didn't answer, I was in no mood to care. My emotions were in a whirlwind, and if I felt this bad, I could only imagine what Danny was going through.
There was a moment of silence before I finally forced myself to speak. "I can't leave Danny." As if to empathize my point, I snuggled myself closer to his warm body.
Ms. Stuth cut in. "Mr. Lancer, I could tutor them myself during the school year. After what they've both done, the least we can do is keep them together."
"I wouldn't object to it, but that falls slightly outside my reach. You'd have to get that cleared with the principal and considering he doesn't know even half of what these two have been through, the odds of him clearing it aren't good."
The look he received in response was priceless. "Have you paid attention to your e-mail at all the past few days?"
"I've had more important things to worry about."
Our teacher just sighed. "I was with them and I still found time to check it." She shook her head in mock disappointment. "You're being promoted for the next school year. The principal is stepping down and you're next in line for the job. In other words, it's your choice whether or not to clear me teaching them outside of the normal school schedule."
It took Lancer a few minutes to finally regain his composure after the words set in.
Wow...my life must be more screwed up than I thought. I honestly just realized I never actually posted the last two chapters of this. Anyways, if there is anyone out there that still has an interest in this, the final chapter will be up here in a few minutes.
Comments and feedback are as welcome as always! :D
