So many people are following this story! But only two reviews. :/ Well at least you guys like it! So we left off with Alex and Mr. Mizanin after school.
Alex quietly walked into Mr. Mizanin's room, almost going unheard unstill his foot hit a desk. Mr. Mizanin glanced over at Alex before shutting his laptop and getting up. "Mr. Riley, right on time I see." Alex simply nodded. "You can have a seat anywhere."
Alex walked over to the desk right next to Mr. Mizanin's table. "Today I'm just going to have you write down what you're feeling. So I can get a sense of what your writing is like. Does that sound okay?" Mr. Mizanin asked, with a concern look on his face.
"Yeah, that sounds fine." Alex pulled out a black pen and some paper. He was not looking forward to writing what he felt. Honestly, he felt like shit. His parents were divorcing, he doesn't know who he wants to stay with, or even where he's heading after this!
Mr. Mizanin smiled and sat back down at his desk, grabbing a stack of papers to grade. "Oh, Alex. Before you being why don't you tell me a bit about yourself? My first day I did that with the kids, so it'd be unfair to exclude you."
Alex placed his pen down and looked up at Mr. Mizanin. Boy did he have beautiful eyes. They were sort of dark, but not too dark, shade of blue. Alex could stare all day into them. "Okay, well I'm Alex…" Alex paused realizing what he just said was stupid. Mr. Mizanin laughed. Wow, Alex thought. What a laugh. "obviously." Alex said, continuing. "I'm 17 and like sports and food. That's pretty much who I am."
"My kind of man." Mr. Mizanin said, without realizing it. He cleared his throat. "I mean…uh…" He stumbled over his words.
Is he really gay? Alex thought. Maybe he was just joking around. Alex shook his head. "It's cool." He laughed. "So I guess it's your turn to tell me about yourself."
"Fair deal." Mr. Mizanin began. "I'm Mike Mizanin. I recently graduated from Princeton University. I got this job because the school needed a teacher fast and Mr. Jericho is a long time friend so he hooked me up. I like sports and cooking."
"Cooking?" Alex questioned.
"Yes! I'm one hell of a cook!" Mr. Mizanin said with a grin on his face.
"Yeah, sure." Alex replied back, sarcastically.
"I am. Honestly! You haven't tried my red velvet cheesecake! It's like a slice of heaven."
"Whatever you say, Mr. M."
Mr. Mizanin smirked and rolled up one of the test he was grading. He smacked Alex with it on the arm. "Get back to work."
Alex laughed and did as he was told.
Alex placed his pen down and let out a sigh. He put his all into this paper. He just wanted to get it all off his chest. He got up from his seat and handed the papers off to Mr. Mizanin.
"Oh, thank you, Alex!" Mr. Mizanin glanced through the paper with a sad look on his face. He was quickly skimming Alex's writing about his parent's divorce.
Alex grabbed his bag and headed out the door, but Mr. Mizanin stopped him.
"Wait, Alex." Alex turned around and rained his eyebrows. "If you don't mind me asking, where are you heading after this?"
"Uh." Alex paused, realizing he didn't know. "I guess John's. I'll call my parents from there."
Mr. Mizanin nodded. "Like I said before, I'm always here."
Alex smiled and started to blush slightly. "I appreciate that."
"He's so cute and I just can't!" Alex said, beaming a smile. Alex went to John's house and was staying there for the night.
"Yeah. He's uh…sexy?" John said, trying to fit in with Alex's excitement. John was not gay himself.
Alex rolled his eyes. "Sorry, I just wanted to get that off my chest. He was the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen!"
"Better than mine?" John gave Alex the puppies the eyes.
"Nobody's cuter than you!" Alex joked around.
