Mike placed his phone right next to him and buried his face into his hands. What was he doing? He just got this amazing job teaching and is willing to lose it for one kid? One kid he hardly knew, but just couldn't get out of his mind. He bit his lip just thinking about Alex. There was something about him that was so enticing; it just draws Mike in and he can't help getting all worked up over it. Alex was intelligent, funny, charming, and incredibly good looking it. He's the perfect guy for Mike. The only problem is that he's Mike's student and under 18. "Damn" Mike muttered under his breath, sighing.
The next day in class was a little awkward for both Alex and Mike. Alex tried not to be too into what Mike was teaching. He tried to play it cool, acting like he had no emotions or feelings for his English teacher. Mike was trying not to stare at Alex the whole time during his lesson. He couldn't help himself though. Alex was wearing a royal blue shirt that looked amazing on him.
Before Mike could finish his lesson, the bell cut him off. Majority of the students ran off to their next class, but a few packed up their things and walked out. Alex took his time, trying to see if he could be the last student there so he could talk to Mike.
Alex began to walk up to Mike, but was cut off by another student trying to talk to Mike. "Mr. Mizanin, you have a way with words! You made such a confusing passage make sense and actually enjoyable!" Kelly yelled. Kelly was a popular, blonde bimbo. The only reason she was popular was, well, because she was easy. Alex did not like what he was seeing. He knew exactly what Kelly's motives were…to get inside Mike's pants. Alex shook his head and walked out. He was going to have after school with Mike anyways, right? Mike, faking a smile for Kelly, looked around the classroom for Alex, but realized that he had already left.
The last bell for school rang and John met up with Alex at his locker. Alex was going to tell John about his date with Mike, but he had no idea how his best friend was going to act.
The halls were pretty empty so John, being the goofball he is, decided to moonwalk over to Alex. Alex turned to see John attempting…and failing to do the moonwalk. He started to laugh hysterically. "Hey!" John yelled, "that was pretty damn good!"
Alex clapped before telling John the big news. "So, I.." Alex cleared his throat. He was getting nervous. "I have some exciting news!"
"What is it? Your mom's not moving?"
Alex shook his head. "Uh, no. Mike…um, me and Mike are going on a date this weekend."
John was silent for a little bit when he heard the news. Alex knew how he felt about them, but he was still happy that Alex was happy. "Wow, that's..that's cool. Where are you guys going?"
"Somewhere out of town."
"And how are you going to explain that to your parents?"
Alex paused, looking down at the ground. How was he going to explain that to his parents?
Alex casually strolled into Mike's classroom after his talk with John. He tossed his book bag down and sat in his usual seat. Mike was going through piles of paper when Alex walked in.
"Hey." Mike said, without looking up from his task.
"Hi." Alex smiled like a little schoolboy. These afternoon sessions were even better now that they knew about each other's feelings.
"I have something bitter sweet to tell you." Mike said, finally done looking through papers. "You're all caught up."
Alex smiled. He was glad to be done with all the extra work. "Really? That's great! But what's the bit…" Alex realized what the downfall of being done all his work was; he wasn't going to spend afternoons with Mike anymore. "Oh."
Mike rubbed the back of his neck and sighed. "Yeah…but this doesn't mean that we still can't talk." Mike smiled.
Alex nodded his head. "And we have our little date coming up." They both smiled at the sound of that. Their date!
"Well, I guess I better be getting out of here…" Alex said, picking up his bag. Alex was walking out the door until Mike grabbed his from behind. They laced their hands together and stood there in silence, smiling and giggling.
"So Friday night…date night?" Mike asked.
"Friday night." Alex confirmed. Mike gave a little peck on Alex's hands before letting go. He watched as Alex left his class and sighed. Was he getting way over his head?
