Falling For My Teacher (lesbian) ( On Hold)

Chapter 7

DYLAN'S P.O.V.

We played for hours on end and when we decided it was enough we went into the kitchen to make some food. MY throat was raw and I'm pretty sure I'll have difficulty speaking tomorrow, but whatever we got in a good session and that is all that matters.

The guys decided to stay the night since my dad is out of town on a business trip. Dad is always gone. Since my mom died he was always burying himself in his work. Me and my dad's relationship is weird. While he always worked to distract himself from mom's death, I distracted myself with my music. I'm always writing something new or changing something already written. We didn't complain to each other because we know it's our way of dealing.

We all finished eating and went off to out separate rooms to go to sleep. I quickly took a shower and got into bed only wearing a sports bra and a workout booty short. Laying there and staring at the ceiling I can't help but to think about Ella. I've never felt this way about someone before. It scares me. I mean we barely know each other and I already feel The hints of butterflies at the mere thought of her. 

I don't know if I'm ready for a relationship. I've only ever been in one serious relationship and she broke my heart. I don't know if I'm ready for commitment again. maybe trying a relationship with her isn't the best idea. Yeah, I'll just tell her tomorrow that she was right and that we shouln't. Not only can she go to jail, but I will have a reputation and that will effect the band. I can't just think about me here. The band's reputation should be more important. 

With these thought and determination I finally fell asleep.

A blaring alarm, a sore throat from too much  singing and the glaring sun in your face is definitely not the best way to wake up. The wonderful smell of food hit me as I opened the door. Following the smell to the kitchen I saw Nash in front of the stove cooking breakfast. He is the best cook in the band and is always up before the rest. I plopped myself onto a chair and Nash put a plate of pancakes drenched in syrup, bacon and eggs in front of me. He knew this was my favourite. 

I thanked him and began stuffing my face. He only laughed and shook his head. "So," he said "You and the teacher?" I looked to him and saw the playful smirk on his face but there was also a hint of curiosity and seriousness. I sighed and answered him "I thought about it last night." "And did you decide what you're gonna do?" "Yes I did," I replied softly "I decided that I'm not going to pursue her. She doesn't want it and I don't want to be the reason she goes to jail. I don't want to ruin her life. And I'm not sure if I'm ready for commitment after you know who."

Nash gave me a shocked look before it turned serious and I knew he was about to lecture me again. "Come on Dyl! It's been two years! It's time you get over her and clime back on the so-called 'dating horse'. You can't just keep sleeping with different girls. You have to make yourself open to love again."

"I've made my decision Nash and I'm sticking with it. It's just not worth the risk." I say solemnly. "Okay sure Dylan. If you say so. Now hurry up before you're late for school!"

I arrived at school barely on time. I had to rush to my first period. In music today we each had to pick a main instrument to play and up to three additional instruments that we can play. I chose guitar as my main instrument and drums, violin and the cello as my additional instruments. When the bell finally rang I made my way to art class. The teacher said we could do anything, whether it be a drawing or a painting. I got so lost into drawing that I nearly pee'd myself when the bell rang. 

Realizing that it was now English, and that I had to see Ella, my heart started to beat super fast and I got really nervous. On my way Jenna fell into step with me. "Hey Dylan!" she says next to me way too happy and enthusiastic.

“Hey Jenna. Why are you so happy?” I asked giving her a curious glance. “The girl I’ve had a crush on since forever, talked to me today. Like out of her own free will. Do you realize how big of a deal this is for me?” I was so shocked to hear that she was also gay that I froze and stopped walking in the middle of the hallway. Jenna noticed that I had stopped walking and turned around to face me.

“What’s wrong. Are you okay?” she asked and waved her hand in front of my face. I snapped out of it and shrieked “You’re GAY?” “Yeees...” she said wearily “Do you have a problem with that?” “NO!” I yelled “I mean no, it’s just a shock I guess. And I think it would be highly hypocritical of me to have a problem with you being gay.” I said more calmly. “You’re gay too?” she asked surprised. “Yes I am!” I stated proudly.

“That’s weird, cause you didn’t show up on my gaydar. I’m not bragging or anything but my gadar is usually really good. In fact it is so good that it picked up our English teacher miss brooks.” She says to me. I just shrugged my shoulders not knowing what to say to that. I realized we have been standing here for about five minutes and the bell was about to ring so I started walking again.

“Aren’t you shocked or surprised to find out that our teacher is also a lesbian?” she asked me when I said nothing. Shrugging again I replied “Not really. I kind of already know.” “How do you know?” she asked me. I did not get the chance to answer as we have entered within earshot of Ella who was standing at the door greeting the students and waiting for the bell to ring to close the door. Just when we reached her and had gone through the door the bell rang. “Cutting it a bit close are we?” Miss Brooks asked us. We muttered an apology and made our way to our seats.

After a while Jenna whispered to me from the next seat over, “Are you going to tell me how you knew or not?” I whispered back “Not now! Maybe later.” I saw her nod and I leaned back in my chair to ‘focus’ on the lesson, but come on. We all knew I was just checking the teacher out.

After class I took my time to pack away my things and told Jenna that I would meet up with her in the cafeteria for lunch. I took in a breath and approached Miss Brooks’ table. I was nervous and my heart was beating wildly. “Can... can we talk?” I asked hesitantly.

 “Sure.” She says with slight curiosity and nervousness in her voice. “I just wanted to apologize for yesterday. I didn’t mean to pressure you into anything. I thought about everything last night and I realized that you are right. We shouldn’t do this. The stakes are simply too high. I can’t expect of you to put your career on the line for me. I won’t bother you about this anymore.”

I walked out the door without waiting for a response, leaving a very shocked and confused Ella behind. I walked to the cafeteria to go look for Jenna. I found her at a table with four other people. Three guys and a girl.  When she saw me she jumped up and almost waved her arm off. Laughing at her antics I made my way to their table.

“Hey Dylan. Let me introduce you. This is Richard.” She pointed to a handsome blonde with sparkling green eyes. “Sitting next to him is Nathan.” A buff looking guy with jet black hair and beautiful hazel almost gold eyes saluted me as a greeting. “Then there is Alex.” A tall slim boy with brown hair and blue-green eyes stood up and gave me a hug. He gave me an overly exited toothy grin and said “HI!” blushing slightly right after.

“Don’t mind him,” Jenna said grabbing his cheeks between her fingers and said in a baby voice “He’s our little hyper hippo!” “I’m not a hippo, I’m not fat!” he protested making everyone laugh at him which earned us another blush. “Last but not least there is Sam.” The girl looked up and I had to admit that she was really beautiful. She had raven hair and intense blue eyes. If you haven’t noticed yet, I have a thing for black haired women with blue eyes.

“Guys this is Dylan. She started here yesterday.” She introduced me to everyone. I just gave a small wave as greeting before sitting down next to Jenna. She turned to me “You just met the LGBT club.” We talked about a lot of random stuff in the next 30 minutes. I glanced at my watch and realized that I had to get going.

I stood up. “It was nice meeting all of you but I have somewhere I need to be.” I waved and turned around to walk away when Jenna grabbed my wrist “Wait! Aren’t you going to tell me how you knew about Miss Brooks?” I looked at the eager faces around the table. I put on a serious face “We slept together.” I stated calmly.

Seeing their shocked faces made me burst out in laughter. Jenna looks relieved and punched my shoulder lightly “You scared me there for a minute.” I just shook my head thinking to myself ‘If only you knew Jenna’.
