The Butterfly Project (Student/Teacher)

Chapter 7

“Yes.” I didn’t care about anything else, and I knew this wasn’t a dream.

            “Really?” he asked.

            “Really, but won’t you get in trouble?”

            “Not if we aren’t seen.”

            “True, is this really happening?”   

            “If you want it to be happening, then yes it is.” I sat on his lap just gazing into his eyes and thought about how crazy this was I’m dating my teacher.

            “I do want this to be happening.”

            “I’m glad.” He smiled and kissed me again, I loved this so much.

            “What if we get caught?”

            “We are going to try our hardest not to, it’s a good thing I have a camp up towards the ocean so we can go there whenever, we shouldn’t get caught there. Otherwise my house is always and option, it’s just me and Toby.”

            I smiled at him. It was crazy how awesome he was making me feel right now. I sat for a little while in his arms but it was starting to get dark and I should head home, which I did. He put his number in my phone under Drew and I set mine in his phone under baby because if anyone looked through his phone and saw Leah we would be screwed. I smiled for the rest of the night when I got home. I even ate some dinner which was just ready as I got home. My parents were in shock, it was only us three since Mason took his girlfriend Alex out for the night. They were the cutest couple I have ever seen considering they have been dating a year and a half.

            “I can’t believe you are actually eating.” My mom was so pleased.

            “Well, I haven’t eaten much these last few days.” I said.

            “Well, at least you’re eating now.” My dad said.

            “Yeah I guess, plus I really don’t want to go back to the hospital…”   

            “Well you aren’t giving us much reason, right?” My mother was curious.

            “No.” I lied. All throughout dinner I was texting Drew he asked me if I wanted to come over his house for a little while.

            “Mom, can I go to a friend’s house for a little while tomorrow?”

            “Sure, I don’t see why not.”

            “Thanks.” I texted him back a yes with a smiley face. I asked him what time I should come and he said I could follow him right after school and hang out through dinner time. I was slightly nervous because I didn’t want him to catch on to my anorexia yet. It was too early. I told my parents goodnight because I simply couldn’t wait for tomorrow, unfortunately it was only Wednesday and he said we could hang out over the weekend. I didn’t know where but that was my last thought before I fell asleep.

            I was excited for today, I didn’t want to sound so pushy and cheery since we only started dating yesterday but I was excited. I made myself look really pretty today, well my hair and I wore one of my kami tank tops and shorts that go down to my knees. The winters are never really cold in Virginia Beach/southern Virginia. I even let my hair flow wavy today. The day to my surprise went by extremely fast, my favorite part of actual school was dance today, we got to do some freestyle since we had a substitute, and she wanted to see our moves so most of us did our routine from the beginning of the year. I even ate lunch today to make myself sort of full so I could use that as an excuse to not eat at Drew’s.
