Chapter 2: Meet the Teachers

Millie packed up all of her belongings into her back pack and zipped it up tightly. Felix smiled and walked over to her. "Are you coming with your father tonight, Millie?" He asked. Millie smiled brightly and nodded almost indescribably fast. "Yup! I'm forcing him to come. Even if he doesn't want to."

Felix tilted his head a little to the side. "Why wouldn't he want to come?" Sighing, Millie slung her black and red backpack over both of her shoulder's. "Dad's not exactly the most talkative person. He and I live in our own apartment but don't know anyone else who lives in the building. We had to move there. I don't know why, though. But daddy's trying to find a good job so we can move somewhere else better than where we are now."

While Millie was telling her story, Felix felt his heart break a little inside. That's probably why she's not the most overly talkative or open child in his class.

"Oh. Well, I'm sorry to hear that, Millie. But I'm glad that you're sticking it out for as long as you did and are doing." The bell rang and, like everyday so far, all of the children rushed out of the classroom. Sure they were a little more orderly, but still very loud. Millie smiled and said her usual everyday goodbye to Felix. "Bye Mr. Fixton. See you tonight."

"You too, Mil. And remember, I want to talk to your father tonight so make sure he comes."

Giving Felix a thumbs up, Millie left the classroom. Leaving Felix by himself. He walked over to the four year old's drawings and stared at them. He then felt someone standing next to him. Looking beside him, Felix noticed that one of the fellow teachers, Mary, was also admiring the drawings. "Hi Mary." Felix said with a chuckle. Mary smiled. "Hello Felix. I just stopped by to see how things were going. And they seem to be going fine."

Felix laughed a little. "Yeah. So, are you and Gene going to be here tonight. Or does the principal himself have something special planned as a date?" Yes, Gene was the principal and yes, he and Mary are dating. They've been together ever since high school. And, both being in their late thirties, you'd think that they'd be married by now.

Mary only giggled. "We actually are going on a date tonight. But after the event tonight. And who was that cute little girl?"

"Oh! That's Millie Calhoun. She's a very clever four year old. She was the one who drew these amazing drawings." Felix explained gesturing to the wall right at the drawings. Mary's eyes widened. "Oh my, they really are amazing. And she is only four, you said?"

Felix nodded. A little proud that he had such a smart student at such a young age. Mary smiled. "Well that's just wonderful Felix. I hope that she does good all year and stays so clever. Good luck tonight Felix."

"You too, Mary."

Thomas laughed as Millie dragged him down the hallway of the school. "Mil, I think I know where I'm going. I went to this school when I was your age."

Millie rolled her eyes. "I know. But hurry up." She demanded before gasping. "Vanellope!" Turning around swiftly from her group of friends, Vanellope grinned when she noticed who was calling her name. "Millie! I didn't think you were gonna show up!" The girls hugged before Vanellope's friends questioned who the four year old was.

"Oh! Guys, this is my bestest friend ever, Millie Calhoun! Millie, this is..."

After about sixteen kids with seemingly all candy related names were introduced to Millie, the girls separated for the night. Millie walked back to her father and grabbed his hand; continuing on dragging him along the hallway. When they reached Millie's classroom, Millie released her strong and forceful grip on Thomas's hand.

"And this is my classroom. Hmm, I wonder where Mr. Fixton is..." Millie muttered before spotting her teacher as he was finishing a talk with one of the more troubled kids parents. Millie ran up to him and tugged on his shirt. Glancing down next to him, Felix smiled. "Hi Millie."

Millie grinned, "Hi Mr. Fixton!"

Felix gave her a requested high five and watched as she looked in a certain direction. Millie sighed. "I'll be right back!" She called to Felix as she ran out of the classroom. She spotted her father waiting outside of the classroom. "Daddy..." She said sternly making Thomas laugh. He picked her up and carried her back into the classroom. "He's over there." Millie was pointing to Felix."

Thomas walked over to Millie's teacher and tapped on his shoulder. Felix turned around. "Yes?"

"Are you the teache-" Thomas stopped mid sentence when he saw the guy's face. "Oh my god. FELIX!?" He asked loudly. Felix raised an eyebrow. "Uh...yes? That's my name..."

"I'm Millie's dad. Thomas-"

"CALHOUN!?" Felix exclaimed almost not believing the fact that Thomas was Millie's father. Millie wiggled out of her father's arms and plopped herself onto the floor. "I just saw Vanellope again so I'm gonna go and say hi again. Bye dad!" The sentence was said in a hurry as Millie bolted out of the classroom. Thomas watched his daughter run out in a huge hurry. Turning reluctantly back towards Felix, Thomas slowly crossed his arms.

The tense silence built up to a point to were Thomas couldn't take it and wound up breaking it. "So..." He started awkwardly before continuing. "I see you're a teacher now...Millie's teacher..." They both looked really uncomfortable. "Uh...yeah...and I see that you're...still...blonde? Yeah! Um, I mean, yeah...blonde."

"Yeah..." Thomas said rubbing the back of his neck signaling how uncomfortable and awkward he felt. Felix did the same. After about a minute or so, Felix was they one to break the silence. "I'm-uh-kind of glad that you came because I wanted to talk about Millie. Follow me." Felix led Thomas over to his desk where he pulled his laptop out and searched up Millie's newest grades/reports/etc...

Thomas looked impressed. "Wow, she's the smartest kid in here. Then again, it's not the biggest surprise in the world. I mean, for a four year old, she's pretty smart." He was proud. Felix smiled and closed the laptop. "Yeah, I'm not that surprised either. From what I've seen from her, she's very knowledgeable. Not very talkative though. And that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Millie seems to be a very...non sociable young girl. Any idea as to why that is? Or is it just how she was born?"

Unfolding his arms, Thomas shrugged a little. "Millie doesn't like other children that much. She told me that it's because of the way they all try and 'stand out' when they know that they all just follow the next huge thing that comes around. Pretty deep coming from a four year old, though I completely agree with her."

Felix nodded and slowly turned to face Thomas. "So...I assume you still remember High School."

Damn it! Thomas really wished that Felix hadn't brought that up. Now he had to relive what he did to the poor guy over and over again which most likely meant that there would be no sleep for him tonight.

*Freshman class of 2003-2004*

Felix walked down the halls with his normal gleeful smile. Almost as if he hadn't a care in the world. He walked behind his best friend Thomas and tapped his shoulder. Thomas closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes and turned around, there stood Felix. "What?" He asked rather harshly. Felix barley flinched at his words before shrugging it off as the though that Thomas was having a bad day went through his head.

"And hi to you too. Anyway, are we still going to the arcade with Ralph after school. Because they just got this AWESOME new game and-"

"Felix, let me stop you right there. Okay? Why would I ever want to be seen with a faggot like you? Especially out in public?" Some of the kids around them snickered. Felix's smile faded as Thomas spoke the most heart breaking words to him. "W-what?"

Thomas scoffed and shoved Felix in a non playful way that nearly knocked the other teen over. "You heard me, FAGton. Now move. Before I kiss your gay little ass."

"Thomas...w-what are you doing!? I'm your friend! And I told you to keep that private-"

"Well that's just to bad cause I'm pretty sure the whole school knows who Felix FAGton is now."

Everyone in the hallway started to laugh at Felix who's eyes brimmed to the top with tears. Once the bell rang, every single teen in the High School ran to their buses, cars or other means of transportation. Thomas and some of the other freshman team members pushed Felix out of the way and kept calling him Felix FAGton instead of Fixton.

But what made Felix the most upset was the fact that Thomas purposely spreed the fact that Felix was gay to the entire school population. For reasons unknown by Felix himself. He and Thomas were best friends. But Thomas just threw that all away for something that probably had to do with popularity and pure pressure.

Felix ran down the hallway all the way to his fathers car. Once he got into the back seat, being that Ralph was in the front, he burst into tears. Hands shielding his whole face.

"Felix? You okay back there, junior?" Felix Sr. asked. Felix wiped his nose and shook his head. Ralph looked over at his father then back at his seemingly distraught brother. "What happened, Felix?" Ralph asked softly. Picking his head up, Felix looked at Ralph. "Thomas told everyone at school that I'm gay. Now everybody's making fun of me. That was supposed to be private! And he's acting like we've never even been friends at all!" He exclaimed.

Felix Sr. cringed and felt the sorriest for Felix than he's ever been before. Ralph sighed and turned back around in his seat facing the windshield. Only moments later Felix's crying had ceased, only little sniffles escaped every now and then. He caught his breath and spoke softly. "I'm sorry for bursting into tears like that."

Shaking his head, Felix Sr. spoke. "Don't be sorry, junior. If anyone should be sorry then it's Thomas."

*Senior Class of 2006-2007*

For Felix, the past three years of High School were a living hell. Nothing could have prevented this from happening though. Luckily, this was his last year and then he'd finally be done with the name calling, shoving, small beatings, insulting comments, everything that had to do with the horrible people at his school. But he couldn't help but let his gaze drift off towards Thomas every once in a while just to get a glimpse of who started his nightmarish years in school.

High School, nonetheless.

Just seeing Thomas, popular, captain of the football team, everything most of the guys wished they could be, made him want to blow up in a huge burst of flames. The only time that the two 'talked' was when Thomas was bullying him. Out of everyone in the school, Felix never, EVER, in a million years would've thought that Thomas-the guy who was his best friend at one time-would become his bully.

He knew that Thomas was a pretty hard heart-ed person, but Felix didn't know how to react when he was shunned out of Thomas's life for good.

When the man at the podium called Felix's name for his diploma, every single person that was graduating laughed. Not very many people clapped and the one's that did were muted by the roar of insults, laughing, and horrid names. His eyes then caught Thomas's. Thomas, for once, wasn't the head of all of the insulting yelling. He was actually clapping for Felix. Slowly, but still...

Though his head was bowed, Thomas just knew that Felix's face showed nothing but confusion. He only kept his head bowed and clapped even slower as the yelling and insults died down.

Thomas was snapped out of the trance by the snapping of Felix's fingers. "You okay? Because you can leave if you want."

"Huh? OH! Uh...sorry. I was just...uh-thinking..."

Felix slowly nodded as he handed Thomas a slip of paper. "It's Millie's basic info for the school year. You may not need it, but just in case you do, here it is. Might come in han-" Felix was cut off mid sentence. "Do you want to do something sometime?" Thomas bluntly asked. The other man's eyes widened the slightest bit at the sudden question. Thomas cleared his throat. "I'm asking cause I'd like to keep an update on how Mil does throughout the year. If that's okay with you, of course."

Chuckling, Felix gave Thomas the white paper. "I'd love to. How about this weekend? Tapper's?"

Thomas tilted his head. "You drink? Wow, I never pictured you as that type of person..." He trailed off making Felix smile and shrug. "It's nice to unwind every once in a while. Especially when you teach Pre-K and Kindergarten. So, is Saturday okay?"

"Yeah, sounds great. And it was...it was good to see you Felix."

"You too. See you Saturday." Just then, Millie came back into the classroom with eight of Vanellope's friends following her saying 'Aw!'. Thomas chuckled and picked her up. "You ready to get outta here, kiddo?" Nodding, Millie waved to Felix. "Bye Mr. Fixton! See you Monday!" She called. Felix smiled and waved back to the four year old. "See you Monday too, Millie! And you Saturday, Thomas!"

Thomas laughed. "I'm gonna hold you to that!"

Driving home, Thomas saw that the time was eight o'clock. Millie was fast asleep in her car seat giving Thomas the silence he needed to think. Did he really just make plans that fast with Felix Fixton from High School? Not only that, but was he...flirting with Felix? Was that even considered flirting? If it was, he didn't know. But then again...he didn't think that he nor Felix even cared.

Felix actually looked pretty good and had a decent job. He was doing great for himself. And Thomas actually seemed pretty jealous. But he also felt proud of Felix for making it out of High School and have the strength to go on in life.

And no matter how much Thomas tried to deny it...he couldn't shake the fact that he was the whole reason why Felix was bullied at school in the first place. But that was going to change...fast...
