I'm in Love with my Teenage Fan

Chapter Twenty Eight

            Life goes on, or at least the days go on.  It is almost May and I know that everyone has to think of summer and what they are going to be doing, but I am thinking of when I first saw Kia, and later when I first met her.    

            My students think I am doing better but they don't notice I love Kia and it still hurts that she won't take my calls.  I never should have called her a bitch the last time we talked.  I don't know what is wrong with me.  I love her, I've learned that I can't live without her, at least not to where I can function properly.

            “Okay, class we are going to review for the final.  I know most teachers are just like whatever a week left of school until finals, but we need to prepare.  My finals are hard for students who haven't paid attention all year and don't study.”

            The whole class moans and Dean says, “Seriously?  Like what is going to be on the final?”

            I list everything off.  The whole class moans again and I laugh.  “Guys, the final while it have a lot of stuff on it, it isn't very long.  Only forty multiple choice questions.  Like I always say, you hate taking the test?  Well I hate grading them.”

            They all laugh and I start to feel alive again, well that is until the bell rings and I am left alone in the room.  I sit down and start to write the final.  I know most teachers already have this done and give me crap that I am slacking but I know they don't really mind.

            I hear someone clear their throat and I look up.  Dean is walking back into the room and sits down in one of the front desk looking at me.  I look back and he says, “I'm sorry for all the things I said to you.  I know that it isn't fair for me to have treated you that way, it is just, well I knew how much she liked you, and I could only imagine how much you liked her.”

            “Okay,” I say unsure of where this is going.

            “Mr. Chance, she loves you.  Still.  I talk to her pretty regularly.  I told Kia how you act now and she feels bad for hurting you.  She just knew that her parents would eventually get to her again and she didn't want you to stress because you couldn't get to her.”

            “What did she say?”

            “She mainly just said that she loves you and that she knows you are going to get over her eventually, and she is ready for that day.”

            I roll my eyes.  I am never going to get over Kia.  I don't want to get over Kia either way it goes.  “Why does she keep in touch with you and not me?”

            Dean shrugs his shoulders and whispers, “She is afraid of her parents.”

            I nod my head.  I find that totally understandable.  Her parents scare me and I would go to the end of the world for that girl.  I look at Dean and I say, “Have her meet up with you somewhere then meet me.  I really want to see her again.”

            Dean nods his head and says, “I have a better idea, but it has to wait until after the summer break.  Actually figure it has to wait until the firework show.”

            I nod my head not understanding and Dean knows it.  He explains it to me and I love the plan.  It is an amazing idea and I know that if it works Kia will love the plan too.  Dean smiles at me and whispers, “Anything to help true love.”

            I smile at him one last time then we both leave the class and head our support ways.  I don't know where I am going, but I am not going home.  I have so much on my mind that I can't even focus on going home right now.  What I really need is to talk to Mitch.  See what he has to say over Dean's plan.
