Stranger

Chapter 7

Luna pov:

"Yoda, put that down." I point at him, as he gives me the puppy eyes. "I'm not falling for that. Down." I fold my arms, as he drops the dead bird on the floor. "Thank god. Now go to your bed." I watch him walk towards his bed and sits in it. I let out a sigh, before I hear my doorbell start to ring. Sunny isn't back from England already. I walk towards the door and open it, just to see Koa standing there.

"Yes, what do you want?"
"Way to make me feel at home." He walks in with a smile on his face. "What's with the smile?" I close the door and walk behind Koa. "I just got back from Gray. And I think we had a moment." He says with sparkles in his eyes. "Now why are you here?"
"I wanted to see Yoda and Dobbie before I left." He says, looking around for the dogs. "Oh, are you going to see your brother?" He nods, as he runs towards Yoda. He stops as he looks at the floor, "Is that a dead bird?" He asks. "Yip. Yoda got a hold of it." I stand next to him as I cross my arms. "You'll get your goodbye kiss later." He slowly walks away and starts running towards Dobbie.

Koa pov:

"You happy that you won't see us for a week?" Sunny asks. "Yes, right after school I'm in my car for a four hour drive."
"Wow. I actually thought you cared." She says with an eye roll. "I do. I just need a break from you guys once in awhile." I cross my arms. "That breaks my heart." She says dramatically. "Hey, look. Mr. Han is here." Luna says. I look over to see him, being stopped by a few students. "Ugh, what do they want with him."
"Someone jealous?" Luna asks with a grin. "No, it just irritates me." I rest my chin on my arm, as I watch the boys talk to Gray.

"So you're jealous?" Sunny asks.

Gray pov:

"Have a good week. And contact me when you're there." I hear Luna say, as I walk past them. Where is he going? He still has school next week. "Mr. Han, can I talk with you for a second?" Koa yells behind me. I turn to see him running towards me. "It's your lucky day. I'm going to be gone for a week."
"Finally, some silence." I cross my arms. "I thought you liked it when I talked." He pouts. "I try to, but you make it really hard to do so." I sigh, "Enjoy your week off. I'm going now." I turn around and start to walk. "Where's your car?"
"I don't have a car, I walk." I say. "Care for a ride? Your place is quite far from the school." He says. I turn to him and look around, seeing no one, but us. It'll be nice to catch a ride.

"Fine, but only this once. I don't want the school getting suspicious." I say, as I walk past him. "So. Do you walk everyday?" I glare at him and nod. "I've been thinking about this for a while now. Why was ice skating your hobby. You don't seem like the person to have that type of hobby." He opens the door and climbs in. "It doesn't concern you. And it's from the past." I buckle my seat belt, before he starts the car. "From what I could see in class, you have many different talents and some are quite shocking."
"I see you've been paying attention. It's quite rare from what I heard."
"Really now? I only pay attention when you're in front of the class." My cheeks grow warm.

"Don't say such stupid things." I turn to look out the window, only to see Koa's reflection in it. His grin stands out. "But be honest with me? Why did you decide to become a teacher, with all that talent you have. I feel like it's a waste."
"Why can't you just mind your own business. It doesn't have anything to do with you." My heart bonds against my chest, as all the memories come back.

"Why are you crying?" He turns my face towards his. "Crying? I'm not crying." I feel my cheeks, as I wipe the tears away. Koa stops the car under a tree, where no one can see us. "Bloody hell. What's wrong with me?" I say in a panic. "Nothing is wrong, you just have a lot to take out. And it'll help if you talk to someone about it." His smile is sweet.
