Two Worlds Apart || Ghost

The couple weeks that go by were tremendously boring. Since there was no school and barely anything to do, I think I was slowly losing my mind. Luckily, the state told us how we still needed to have a certain amount of school time for the kids. 

Some of the school was still pretty damaged. The classrooms that were still standing held class but the rest that were gone were having to have school in the community center in town. 6 classes including mine had to have school over there. It wasn't ideal but it was better than not getting to do anything.

I shut the door behind me and stand in front of the class. They were all a little quieter today. It was hard having three less students. Knowing that they are never going back was painful, but I stood up straight and kept on a happy face for them. 

"Morning everyone. I'm glad to see all of you again. I know that this isn't our usual classroom but at least we still get to have school again." 

They all were quiet. My expression slowly drops, and I sigh.

"Look. I know that this is difficult. Getting back into the routine especially after all that has happened. It's also going to be hard not having three of us here anymore. What matters is that you're all safe and were together." I say.

"Will we ever go back to the school again?" Leah asks.

"Yes, we will. I don't know when but I'm sure we will."

"What if we get hit again? What if we get stolen again?" Owen asks nervously.

I let out a deep breath. "Thats never going to happen again. Okay? The bad guys are all gone, and we don't have to worry."

"Yeah. Cause Ghost made sure of it." Alexa says.

I look at her and smile. Shes changed so much from that mission. I don't know what Simon did to make her happier.

"Yeah. He did." I say. They get so happy when they talk about Ghost. He was their hero after all. I'd be lying if I said that I don't feel the same way. 

"Will he see us again sometime?" Luke asks.

I shrug. "I don't know. Hes a very busy man. We can't keep him away from his work but I'm sure he knows how much you appreciate him."

"Hes very strong too. His arms are like the size of Nicky's head. And his head is huge!" 

Nicky whips his head around to look at Nicky. "Hey!" The whole class including Nicky start to laugh. 

"Kyle is right. He is very strong. He has to be since he kills so many bad guys." Hannah says.

The kids talk to each other about Ghost. I slowly start thinking about him. He does have very strong arms. The way that they felt against my own, the way he held onto me that night. It all made me catch my breath in my throat. I could still feel my hands rolling over his muscular and bulky chest while he kissed me so hard. If only Price hadn't called that night, he could've been there a lot longer. 

I realize that I'm standing in front of my own class thinking about that night. I blink a few times and come back to reality.

"Uh...ok...why don't we get started on our lessons today?" I stutter.
