"Let me get books from my office," he said as he went inside to catch his breath.
It wasn't as though she was gorgeous there was something about her that attracted him. Maybe it was the whole forbidden aspect of the situation or that she was one of few girls in his classes. That couldn't be it, he saw women all the time that didn't affect him the way Cassie did. He sighed as he got himself under control or at least parts of him. Maybe he needed meditation or something he would look into it he considered. If he was going to be a teacher he needed self control, he consoled himself.
"Okay, I can do that this weekend," Cassie said as she watched him disappear into his office before he came back out giving her the book, "I wanted to come by here because well I haven't been on campus those two days, and I have to pass, but the guidance counselor couldn't fix my schedule so I'll be in your class starting today," Cassie said with a smile.
Dean nodded before he told her about few things she'd missed, "The first two safety tests will be next Wednesday and Thursday, next Friday I won't be here, I have to take my sister to the doctor, so I'll have a sub, it'll be a movie about safety, boring I know, but educational."
"Okay, but do notes need to be taken?"
"I hate them, but yeah, I didn't tell them yet, but I need some grades for you all, so I will use notes, and that will be one of the safety tests for me."
"Okay, do these have all the answers?" Cassie asked
"I haven't given them out, that was today's class,"
"Sorry," Cassie said, "I like to get ahead sometimes; I have several advanced classes. Truthfully that is all I have besides this one, Gov, English Lit, and journalism, I'm on the school paper."
"Sorry, English can be a killer," Dean said though if she was in journalism she had a handle on English, he thought dumb remark Dean.
Cassie nodded before she said she had to go, "I have to go use the internet in the Library," she said after they were quiet a few moments.
--
"The library is on the other side campus, why don't you use the computer here, I'm not using it, and my siblings are riding the bus, too early for them," Dean said with a laugh.
"You don't mind?"
"No, its going to waste, we have eight computers in here anyways," Dean pointed to the other seven outside of his office. Inside the office he had two of them.
"Thank you, so much, my parents didn't want to put the internet in this year, it's my last year and I have papers after paper to write," she said with thankfulness in her voice.
"Feel free to use these, when I'm here though, the administrator have rules, I have to be in here when the students are working on them," Dean said.
"Okay, wait do you have safety glasses?" Cassie asked seeing the cabinet empty
"They were ordered yesterday," Dean said, "They will be here when you all start working,"
"Cool, I'll get to work now," she said before she put her bag down and chose a computer to use.
---
Dean nodded before he went in his office leaving the door cracked open, but he didn't turn the light on yet. He'd gotten so used to the dark that he usually could work in the dark now, load, clean and reload a gun too, but he finally cut the lights on because it might seem weird to her that he was in the dark.
---
He was distracted by Cassie sitting just outside the office, he wished he could get her out his mind, but she was so ordered. Hell, she'd just tried to get her work before he'd gave it out to the rest the class; he really liked that about her.
It wasn't just that he liked about here either, it was all of her, the attitude, she had was one that he'd never seen in anybody before now, most people he'd met didn't care.
He was glad she did because maybe that meant she was more in the world than most people. He remembered something that Bobby told him once. That was that some people that lived in this world and some live around the world, meaning they really weren't living their lives they were walking through it blindly not really knowing where there were heading in life.
-----
For while that had been him, he wanted to do something, but never really knew what till he'd applied to college and gotten accepted, he'd actually got a full ride to the South Dakota college that was near Bobby's house. He, Jack, and Sam stayed with Bobby the entire time. John left Bobby to take care of them all and he'd done it, sure Dean had done the most of it, but Bobby had been there to help them out.
Dean couldn't help but smile some days if felt like Bobby was their father with all the things he'd done for them. He'd been the one that had told John to let go, and to let him go to college, Dean had been more than happy when he'd heard those words from his dad. He'd never looked back though; he graduated, a semester early to top it off, he'd made the Dean's list twice for A's and B's.
The bell rang and Cassie left going to her first class, Dean smiled, she had sat at the first computer so he'd had a side view of her the entire time.
"Snap out of it, Dean," he said to himself as the students started coming in the shop.
It was three when Dean finally finished the tool room that Friday afternoon, he'd finished up his three classes earlier and was now working on cleaning up the place. Sam and Jack came in a few minutes later after the dismissal bell rang.
---
"Hey, got homework?"
"Yeah, we gotta start reading a book over the weekend and have a book report next week, we'll have on ever week, till the semester changes," Sam said sitting down.
"We need to stop by the library," Jack added, "the school's sucks; I mean they didn't even have the book based on the movie that just came out."
"Okay, I have to finish up here, can we go tomorrow?" Dean asked them, hoping they'd say yes.
"Sure, but it closes at two so we have to go early that means before noon," Sam replied
"I'm getting internet installed Monday, they have to wait; they're backed up," Dean informed them knowing they would be excited.
Jack grinned as she threw her dark hair over her shoulders.
--
Sam saw somebody in his peripheral view coming up. "You got a visitor, we'll go find some good snacks," Sam said with a smile as he pulled his sister along with him.
"Stop it Sam," Jack said before she knew who the visitor was then she grinned too.
"Something that isn't junk," Dean said, even though that was all they ever really ate.
"Jerk," Sam said before he left.
---
"Hi, the computer's still up, we're leaving at five, its three-fifteen that enough time?" Dean asked Cassie, who'd asked to borrow the computer again.
"Yes, that's plenty time, arethey your brother and sister?" she asked him
"Yeah, annoying as hell too, Sam and Jack, Sam's the boy, Jack's the girl, it was my mom's idea," he added before she could ask why his sister was named Jack, "It was her sister that died at birth's middle name,and my dad's favorite drink, that was actually how she got pregnant too much of that stuff mixed together,"
"Cool, I was just wondering," Cassie saidsmiling at the fact that he'd just told her something that really was none of her business, "And thanks a lot for this, my English essay is due Monday," she said as she put her things down.
"Like I said long as I'm here, feel free, just let me know during your class, that way I will know not to cut out here early," Dean let her know, "I'll be back, we're ordering pizza again, you want some?"
"Cheese or pepperoni?" Cassie asked him
"We usually go to Michael's and get the half and half,"
"Okay, if you don't mind," she said as she sat down.
He let her know it wasn't a problem and just didn't want to eat in front of her, "I'll leave them two here with you so I can go get it, be back in a bit,oh and they don't bite."
--
Cassie nodded before booting up the computer, till now she really hadn't noticed how nice her teacher was, sure she knew he was good looking beyond good looking really, but now she saw how much he cared for his siblings, and other people. She realized he probably hadn't been in the world or at least the real world because he didn't seem to be that jaded. Most people she met even now seemed to be jaded because of the world they lived in, but he seemed to have some how gotten out unscathed, however she didn't know him well.
Cassie had no idea but the assumption was true, Dean might have been in a lot of battles and things, but he'd always escaped with few cuts and bruises. She caught herself watching him walk away. You can't do this, he's your teacher, and it's like illegal in ever state, she thought.
That night Dean sat up looking over the computer at the test he was trying to put together for his classes. He kept coming back to the one student that had made him wish he was younger, or she was older. Her name was Cassie and he was defiantly falling hard for her, it was just everything about her that made him want her, he was going down a road he knew he shouldn't go.
Cassie smiled at him when he'd let her use the computer, that smile had warmed him somewhere deep inside, he didn't understand why, but it had made him feel something. This was going to be hard for him and he knew it. Her smile was the first thing, but just her natural way she'd told him she wasn't going to be in the class the first few days, that had just made him wonder about her.
"Stop it, she's your student," Dean told himself as he looked back at the screen he was working on.
---------
Saturday morning
Dean had made breakfast for them before he went for his morning run. He ran three miles one way three miles back. He'd gotten used to it, while he was running he ran passed the car sales lot and noticed the last name sounded familiar, but he shrugged it off and continued running.
Sam and Jack were ready to go to the library when he returned. Dean dropped them off and ran a few errands before he had to pick them up again.
Dean was walking through the automotive store because he had to get oil and other liquids for his baby that was parked outside. He got what he needed and got out as quick as he could, not really wanting to spend lot time in the store.
---
It was one before he picked up Sam and Jack, they still had to go to the store and get food for the rest the week now.
"Okay, we need chips," Jack said
"No, Doritos, they are a lot better," Sam said grabbing the cool ranch and nacho cheese favors they liked.
Jack grabbed another bag of her favorite chips when Dean said she could. He was trying to make this work, but he knew it was going to be hard at times. "Okay, I thought we'd pack all next week, I get paid twice month, but still, this way we can have some extra money left to maybe do some fun stuff."
"Dean, I need some paper for my math class," Jack said.
"I know, I got the supplies list here you two can go get only what you need for now," he said in a fatherly tone.
Sam took it before they left to go get the stuff. It was several minutes before they returned. In the meanwhile, Dean was looking around when he almost ran into someone. "Sorry," the person said realizing they'd cut in front him.
He would have known her voice any where but it caught him off guard still, she was in his thoughts so often.
---
"It's cool, I wasn't looking," Dean said before he looked up to find it was Cassie, "Sorry, I guess these don't have car brakes," Dean teased making her smile, "Where's the fire?"
"What fire?" she asked him with a grin as she pretended to go along with the joke.
She was just as glad to see him as he was to see her but neither could express it.
"The one you're willing to ram people to get too,"
Cassie smiled at him, "Oh that one, no fire, it's just I'm late for work, but my boss is cool, he'll understand."
"Where do you work?" he asked to know more because he was nosy about her life and couldn't help himself.
"My dad's car dealership," Cassie said, "his secretary quit last week and I've been filling to help him out."
"That's cool, its Saturday so there is nothing for me to do," Dean told her, "did you finish that paper?"
"Yeah, finished yesterday before I left."
"That's good to know,"
"I got question if you don't mind?" Cassie asked him.
"Sure,
what is it?"
"How does your girlfriend not get
jealous of you flirting with all the girls around?" Cassie asked
because she had to know as much as she could about the handsome
teacher even though he was out of her reach, or so she thought.
