DREW P.O.V

it was Friday it was the weekend but I was still at work. I was grading papers for the poem test and they were good but one got my attention and I couldn't believe it. did she really write a poem about how she feels about me? As I read the poem a million times over my heart skipped a beat.

~ THE POEM ~

A LOVE THAT CAN NOT BE

'he makes my heart jump every time he speaks.

with our love that can not be we choose to stay away.

my love for him can not be for he is much older than me.

even though I am with another my heart seeks not him but the other.'

it was 4 o'clock and I was getting ready to go home I set the papers in the folder and put them in the drawer. I went out to my car and sat in it. I drove home and laid on my bed. as I lay there I kept thinking about Miranda. her red hair her green eyes and her small figure. She was so kind and caring just doesn't trust anyone I can see her wall and it goes down every time we look at each other.

I can tell she is falling in love with Jackson and it worries me. I know I'm her teacher and she is my student but these feelings I had from her since day 1 haven't gone away and I don't know why. but my heart sinks and I get angry every time I see his arm around her waist because that should be my arm.

I got angry just thinking about it. I rolled over on my side and tried to fall asleep but thinking of her just keeps me awake.

MIRANDA P.O.V

I and Jackson were heading to his house so I could meet his parents for the first time. even though I was his friend first I had never met his parents and he hasn't met mine but I don't want him to meet mine just yet. As we stepped up to the door he knocked and I held his hand tight. " babe what is it?" "I'm just nervous about meeting your parents." he laughed a little. " don't worry they're cool they will like you." " ok I guess but I just don't want to make a fool of myself then they think I'm an idiot." "They won't I promise," he said as the door opened.

a lady with short brown hair higher than her shoulders white skin and wearing a blue shirt with white pants a long white jacket and some jewelry opened the door. " hello Jackson who is this?" the lady asked. " hey mom I was just going to introduce her to you and dad." " oh okay then sweetie let me go get him." "Your mom is very pretty." "Thanks." he smiled. She came back with a man who was a couple inches taller than her and Jackson but way taller than me since I was only 5'3.

he had brown hair also white skin and wearing a red velvet jacket with blue pants and a black shirt with black shoes to match the woman. " hello Jackson who is this?" "Like I told Mom I was going to talk to you both bout that." " ok then." we went over to the sitting area near us and sat down. And I sat on the couch across from his parents. "Mom Dad this is Miranda, my girlfriend." "Really?! That's great honey!" his mom said with excitement in her voice." now I might actually have grandkids before I'm 70." my eyes widened at her statement and Jackson saw it. " Mom! We are still in high school and she is only 18 and I'm only 19.".

" I know but that doesn't mean you can't have kids when you 20." " That is next month Mom and I don't want to have kids yet." " fine." she said with sadness. " well boy congratz on your new girlfriend don't let her go she is a pretty one." I smiled at what he said. " I know Dad.", He and Jackson went up to his room and laid on the bed. we turned on his music and listened to his music and talked. " so it's kinda awkward to ask but are you a virgin?" I asked awkwardly. " uhh no I am." he said rubbing the back of his neck. " oh." I said with awkwardness. " are you?" " yeah, I am." "Good." we went on with asking questions to know more about each other when we were called for dinner.
