I felt a tap to my arm and sighed turning to Carlos. He pointed to the front and I saw Logan still writing notes on the board. His butt looked fantastic in his pants, and all I could think about was our conversation form the previous night.
He was fine with us being…us in public, at school. But after driving to school with him, he didn't act like it. It hurt a little but I guess I felt bad, because what if he did lose his job?
"Is everything alright?" Carlos whispered in my ear. I whispered back.
"Yes Carlos…I'm just…were just…"
"Mr. Knight. Mr. Garcia." Both of us looked up and he was staring at us, putting his glasses on the desk. "Is there something you did not understand about silent note taking?" I had never heard him talk like this. He sounded angry. Like serious angry.
"No sir." Carlos spoke for the both of us and he nodded.
"I want every note written down. Your midterms are coming up, and from your last paper and our discussions in class on the antagonist, none of you are passing my class. Not one single student." My heart dropped. That can't be. My last paper…it was amazing. I thought any way. "As this is an advanced class, if you do not pass the midterm you are kicked out. End of story." I caught his eyes but he quickly looked away. "So no talking. Just writing, and when you're done, come up to my desk and you will get your papers back. And if you would like you can schedule an appointment to talk about your grade." I saw a kid raise his hand in the front row and Logan raise his eyebrows. "Yes?"
"You're giving us way too much. How do you expect us to finish all this homework?" I looked at Logan and he shrugged his shoulders.
"You're college students Mr. Jones. If this is too much, you know where my door is." Logan stared him down. Yeah this was definitely a new Logan.
"Fine. I quit!" The kid slammed his book closed, and picked up his things walking out. Logan was unfazed and turned back to us.
"Is there anyone else who would like to get out of my class, and get into regular English 101?" I looked around and was shocked by how many kids were getting up. A total of 7 left. The rest of us, remain quite staring at him. "Okay get back to work, and come up when you're done." He turned and walked behind his desk sitting down.
I finished up my notes, at the same time Carlos did. We were the first and I let him go first. I stood behind him as Logan went over his C paper. He said he was just on the brink of failing and needed to bring it up fast before the midterm or else he would surly get kicked out. Carlos scheduled to meet up with him tomorrow to discuss extra credit. When he walked away, my heart dropped seeing my paper with an F on it. Logan looked up at me and shook his head.
"Did you even read the chapters I assigned?" He sounded…disappointed. Like he expected more from me. "And if not why didn't you come to me? Why didn't you ask for help?"
"I thought it was a great paper." He sat back at my challenge of his intelligence. "Why did I get an F?"
"You can schedule…"
"No Logan." It was loud enough for everyone to hear. He swallowed hard and got up from his desk.
"Keep working. Mr. Knight can I speak with you outside?" He picked up my paper and I followed him out, angry. He shut the door and turned to me.
"An F! I worked my ass off on that paper!" He crossed his arms over his chest and stared me down. "Explain yourself?!"
"Are you going to stop acting like a child and handle this like a mature adult?" That really hit a nerve. Yeah I get it. I'm 19. That didn't mean I was a moron. "Kendall, nothing in this paper talks about the similarities between the antagonist and the protagonist, which is exactly what the paper was about!" He poked the paper only angering me more. I continued to stare him down until he sighed. "Look…tonight we'll go over it, and work out the problems." I yanked the papers out of his hands and he backed away.
"Don't worry about it Logan. I'll just deal with it myself, because that's what an immature kid does. I reached for the knob but he grabbed my arm tight.
"No this is how an immature kid acts!" I turned to him and he was fuming. "What is your problem?!" I shoved him off of me, and walked into the classroom. Everyone had their eyes on me as I grabbed all of my stuff shoving it in my bag. I turned around and he was standing in the door way holding the door open. I walked out past him but again he grabbed my arm. His door shut loud and he spun me around. "What is wrong with you?!"
"You!" He rolled his eyes and I pushed him by his chest. "Admit it Logan! You are ashamed of us! Of me!" He laughed and I shook my head. "Is it really a crime if we held hands down the halls or we drove with each other to school, gave small kisses to each other before and after class?" He let go of me and clenched his jaw. "I'm sorry, I'm in love with you! And I'm sorry I'm an immature kid you don't' want anyone to know about!" I pushed him again and quickly turned away.
I wasn't crying like I normally would have. I was just plain old mad. He treated me like dirt. He treated me like I wasn't his boyfriend. He was ashamed! I threw myself on my bed in my empty dorm room and screamed in my pillow.
What had changed in him, since yesterday? He was fine with us "coming out" if you will. He let me hold him, tell him I love him, as if he was behind me 100% of the way. But he wasn't! He just…just wasn't!
I hadn't notice my roommate walk in, two hours later. I had just let my thoughts and my mind take over my whole being. Anger and hatred took over and all I wanted to do was hate and break up with Logan…but I couldn't bring myself to do it.
My roommate, Jeff walked to his bed and smiled at me.
I heard about you and Mr. Mitchell…" I fell back on my back and shook my head.
"What are you talking about?" I just assumed he was high, he usually is.
"Please the whole school knows you guys are dating." I shot up quick and he laughed at my reaction pulling his long stoner hair back into a pony tail. "Mr. Mitchell even told his classes, and said if anyone had a problem with it…he didn't care…or something. I don't know Jane didn't say she was there but trust the person who told her." He took his shoes off and laid back on his bed. "I got a wicked headache. I'll see you when I wake up." I nodded and he rolled on his side, facing away from me.
I walked out of te dorm quickly, and ran through the campus. I noticed more people staring at me, whispering in each others ears. I continued to run, until I got to the building where his classroom was. I ran down the hall running into a couple people, but not bothering to stop and apologize.
When I burst open the door, I was gasping for air, trying not to cry.
"Logan…I'm sorry!" I stopped half way to his desk seeing him sitting at it, with three guys sitting in front of him. All had suites on and stared at me weird. Logan quickly stood up, mouth open. "Oh…I didn't know you were…"
"Is this Kendall…Kendall Knight?" One of the guys stood up and walked over to me. Logan was already there and nodded.
"Yes sir." The guy nodded and put his hands in his pockets.
"Well…it seems we have a small problem then Mr. Mitchell." I saw Logan swallow hard and he glanced over at the other two guys. "We can't let this get out, and since the whole school already knows…I'm afraid we must act."
"You can't fire him!" I shouted it and I got a death glare from Logan, and a concerned look from the other guy.
"I don't think firing him is the answer either son." He sounded very condescending and it made me mad. "However, I'm afraid to say this, but you are going to be suspended from teaching for a while Logan." Logan's face fell and my heart broke. "We can't let anyone know our gay teacher was having an affair with one of his 19 year old students." The was only two words I heard from him. Gay, and affair.
"This isn't an affair." Logan put a hand on my shoulder and shook his head.
"Kendall just drop it. It's alright. I can handle it"
"Like hell it is!" Logan huffed and started pushing me to the door. "You're only suspending him because he's gay!" Logan stopped and looked back at the guy, who I still didn't know who it was. "You don't want people to know you hired a queer!"
"Kendall stop!" I was shoved to the door but I gently pushed past him. The guy shook his head and looked back at the other two, who stood up.
"You just got yourself suspended as well Mr. Knight." I shrugged my shoulders and Logan got in front of me.
"No. Don't suspend him. This is all me."
"A relationship is a two way street Logan." He glared back at me eyebrows raised.
"Kendall stop talking!" I pressed my lips together and crossed my arms over my chest.
"For the next two weeks, I don't want to see either of you on campus. Not until this is cleared up." He looked at Logan an put a hand on his shoulder. "I am sorry I have to do this Logan."
"No you're not." I said it under my breath but they both sighed. They shook hands and walked out. I gave every single one of them a dirty look as they walked out. At first Logan didn't turn around. When he did he looked pissed. "Sorry I lost my cool."
"No you're not." He mocked me and walked to his desk. He pushed things in his bag and put his coat on.
"Logan." He shook his head and put up his hand.
"Lets just go home, and deal with this later, please. I have a horrible headache." I nodded and followed him out of his classroom. We drove quietly to his house. He was definitely sad, yet for some reason he wasn't acting like it. As soon as we got in his house, I stayed by the door, while he walked into his bedroom. I felt horrible. I felt sick. And then he walked out…and I felt better.
He had his blanket and two pillows he threw them on the couch and pointed to it. I sat down and kicked off my shoes. I sat for a couple of minutes. He came back from the kitchen, holding two sodas and a bowl of what looked like chips. He set them down and sat right next to me, lifting my arm so he could lay his head on my chest. I put my arm around him and he sighed. He turned on his TV and put on a random movie. He covered both of us with his blanket and wrapped around me.
"I love you." My heart definitely exploded hearing that. I squeezed around him, kissing his head.
"I love you too babe."
