Rewrite This Story: Tristan And Miles

Chapter Two: Trouble Trouble

UPDATE: 6/10/2016: I re-wrote this one too!! Hope you all enjoy, and stay tuned for future entries!

Tristan's POV

As I sat down and waited for Mr. Simpson to call me into his office, my mind kept racing. 

This is all messed up. None of this should be happening. I just should have kept quiet and Yates would still have his job and wouldn't be in trouble. However, I wouldn't have gotten together with Miles if it wasn't for this, so maybe this was a blessing in disguise? (Well, of course not for Yates.) But, does that mean I should I not be mad at Maya then? Should I just forgive and forget?  After all, she WAS just trying to look out for me. Having relations with your teacher is a tad weird, but at the same time, I really liked him, maybe like in the present tense. I don't know (yet again). Mr. Simpson called me into his office before the end of last term, and I denied everything that happened between Yates and I. I don't know what to do now. 

"Mr. Simpson will see you now." His secretary said in a monotone voice.

"It's time to be strong, Tristan," I keep telling myself. "Whatever happens is for the best."

  I approached his door, and opened it, where I see him sitting at his desk. However, there are other people, in very official attire, surrounding the desk.  

"Mr. Milligan, will you please take a seat." Says one of the official looking people.

I then sit down, and so it begins.

"Tristan, these are people from the Toronto Police Station, and they are here to question you about your involvement with Grant Yates." Mr. Simpson said in a serious tone.

"You already talked to me about this though, Mr. Simpson," I said point blank, "I thought I told you everything you needed to know."

"Yes Tristan, we did talk about this, and the information you provided was sufficient," Mr. Simpson explained, "but we called you in to talk about something a little different. The  police department did some further digging, and it turns out that Mr. Yates has been accused of having sexual relations with students 2 times prior to being hired at Degrassi. Both of the accusations were dropped and buried, explaining why I didn't know about it prior to him taking a teaching position here, but the fact of the matter is that they're still technically on his record, and for that reason, the police must pursue this further." 

"Mr. Mulligan, we would like for you to come down to the station later this afternoon for questioning please."

I was speechless. I honestly didn't know what to do. I really didn't want the spring term to start out like this. I just wanted to focus on my relationship with Miles and focus on my classwork, however that seems to be highly unlikely. Ugh, I got myself in over my head, but I'm going to try to help Yates out of this situation. I don't know how, or even if it is possible, but I'm going to try anyways.

I nodded my head "sure" to the police officers, and was told that I could now go to class. 

As I was walking to class I kept thinking; "This is for Miles, right? I'm helping Yates out of this situation for the benefit of Miles and I's relationship, right?"

Oh, man. 

Miles' POV
God, can this campaign just be over? I'm tired of my dad always thinking that I'm a screw up. Even though I've messed up a few things, it doesn't mean that I need to be branded for life. It's not like anyone else in my family doesn't do anything wrong. Frankie has Winston over almost every single day, and god knows what they do, making out with each other 24/7 (gross). And Hunter, well, who knows what he does with his spare time, probably playing Magic or something. I mean, my mom seems to be fine, and then there's my dad. God. This campaign has taken over him like a rabid dog. Everything little thing has to be picture perfect. I can't just put on a fake smile and pretend that everything is okay when I know he's cheating on my mom with his campaign manager. He's the reason why this family is falling apart, and he's putting all the blame on me. And the rest of my family is starting to believe it. It's absolutely unbelievable, but the only thing that's keeping me sane in life right now since Maya left is Tristan. He's the best guy friend/boyfriend/ whatever I could ever ask for. When we kissed, it was surprising, and was unlike anything I've ever felt before. I'm so confused. I mean, I've been labeled by practically everyone as "The Billionaire Bad Boy" or whatever who gets all the girls, and to my family, the guy who is suppose to be the "normal" son of the family, the one who carries everything on his back, because that's what he was raised to do. This is just all so new to me. Like I've started feelings things I've never felt before with Tristan. I've never liked a guy, or really anyone for that matter, like him before. He makes me feel nice, and it's like having a friend to hang out with, only with kissing and other stuff. I've decided to keep our relationship secret for a while, you know with my dad's campaign and all, plus everything that happened with Maya. It's not that I care about what my dad and Maya think about my relationship with Tristan anyways, since it's something I can chose and do on my own and don't need permission, I just don't want to create anymore drama than there's already been over the last few months. This term is going to be different, I can feel it. 

Just as I was thinking and walking in the hall, I bump into the little devil himself.

"Hey stranger." I said flirtatiously.

"Hi." Tristan said coldly and deep in thought.

"Something the matter?" I asked with concern.

"No, nothing is." He said coldly again.

I take his hands.

"Tristan, I know when something is wrong with you. You always avoid direct eye contact and stare at whatever you can find to the right of you, and since you're staring at the Degrassi coffee mug Mr. Perino is holding directly to the right of us, this is one of those times. You can tell me anything, you know that."

"I know," He said smiling a little bit. "First off, it's really cute that you notice little things like that, it's nice."

We both laughed a little bit.

"But, it's just that I feel bad about the whole Maya thing. Maybe I should just forgive her, she was just trying to do a good thing, you know?" Tristan explained.

"Oh, really?  That has you this worked up?" I asked questioningly.

"I mean, yeah," Tristan continued, "I don't know, I just felt like I was a little harsh on her and everything. It wouldn't hurt to at least talk to her, right?" 

"Tris," I said while putting my arms around him. "Everything is going to be okay, I guarantee it. But I agree with you. Even though Maya and I don't really get along right now, doesn't mean that you two shouldn't either. Just talk to her about it, I'm sure everything will be okay. But not tonight, because I have a little surprise for you later."

"You do?" He said while giving me a half smile.

"Yes I do. And don't try to get me to tell you, because it's not going to work. I'll see you at 7 o'clock sharp, handsome."

I kiss him on the cheek and begin to walk off, when I hear Maya come up to Tristan and say "Hi".

I make sure to get inside my class before she sees me, but I guess he doesn't have to wait any longer to talk to her.
