The Immoral Relationship

The Beginning of an End

Casey Bates was sitting in her seat writing her paper for English class with her best friend Meredith Blackstone two desks away. She had developed a liking for her handsome and smart English teacher in the beginning of the year and Meredith was her trusted observer. Since they were staying after they were the only ones in the room besides handsome Mr. Alley. He was close very very close watching over her shoulder as she wrote the last parts of her essay. When she dotted the last I and the last period and said "finished" he crouched down to her eye level in the chair and looked at her smiling and said "Very well done Casey. This is easily near six pages. You are one of my brightest students you know. And the fact you want to go to that culinary school is most impressive." Standing up and taking her paper he sat down at his desk and started grading it right there. She always handed stuff in early to Mr. Alley and he always graded her stuff early. She also knew he favorited her over his other students which never went over well with the academic students. They despised her. She always answered his questions with conviction. They both connected on every level. She loved Mr. Alley and wondered if deep down he loved her. She had a feeling he did because they both shared a love for Charles Dickens and Walt Whitman and Shakespeare well they talked about Shakespeare. She stood there staring at him watching him make graceful movements as he wrote on her paper. He looked up and smiled at her saying "Beautiful as always and so consuming for the reader. I still don't see why you need help writing essays you are very gifted." "Thank You Mr. Alley and as for the essays I just need help where I can get it and besides I need help with my college essays." He chuckled and nodded. She looked at the clock and saw it was time to go she looked over at Meredith and saw she was packing up. She waited and when she finished they both said goodbye and left. She exchanged looks as they walked to Meredith's car and started giggling and Casey said "So what did you observe do you think he likes me? Can he tell that I like him?" "Its obvious that you like him Case. You practically drool over him all the time. And here take my observation notebook and read today's notes on our subject Mr. Alley!!!" She said the last part sing songy. Casey rolled her eyes and grabbed the notebook from Mer. And sifted through until she found what had just been written moments ago in his classroom and started reading
Day 23: The subject of interest is wearing a light pink button up shirt and a slightly darker pink tie and khaki pants that are a favorite of Miss Bates's and quite frankly any girl in this school. The subject is of course as usual wearing his glasses today as well another favorite thing of Miss Bates's. The subject is at eye level with Miss Bates and telling her how wonderful and academically capable she is and she is blushing and smiling.
He is now grading her six page essay I don't see why it has to be six pages but anyway she is now laughing at something he is saying and that is all for today we have to leave soon.

Casey was a little embarrassed by today's observation and said "Geez thats a little personal isn't it?" Meredith started the car and looked at her and said "You asked me to observe your behaviors and write them down and thats what I do. I tell it as I see it." Casey nodded she had a point they were trying to observe cold hard right in front of you facts. They drove to Meredith's house luckily her step dad was not there. Meredith was perfect except for her step dad he was a cold mean dangerous man and he had only married her mother because of her money and luckily only Meredith and her mother could touch the money. They were the only ones with access to the capital. It majorly pissed her step dad off but her mother was going to have him removed from the family and divorce him for her children's sake. Meredith sighed in relief and said "Don isn't here but mom is so thats a good sign". They got out of her car with their stuff and went in the house to be greeted by her mother's wonderful cooking and Meredith's four dogs Oscar, Darla, Mickey and Sammy with Sammy and Darla being girls and Oscar and Mickey being boys. "Mom I'm home and I've got Casey with me!!!" And they went up the stair to put their stuff in Meredith's room. When they got settled they went downstairs to find Mrs. Masterson make queso con chile and her world famous chicken Quesidillas both Casey's favorites she smiled and said "thanks so much Mrs. Masterson!" She smiled and said "your welcome girls." And then as if she had seen a ghost they all heard the sound of a truck pulling into the driveway she looked scared and said "girls go on and take this to your room. Go!!" They did as they were told as they her the car door slam. They got upstairs just as the front door opened and the sound of Meredith's step dad filled the house and this time it wasn't about what was cooking. It was. Divorce.
