i. am. seriously. freaking. the. hell. out.

how the hell am i supposed to live with the guy i am in love with.

worse than that. he's my teacher!

ugh. this whole arrangement is going to kill me. i swear it.

well, probably not faster than my mom would if i had lied and said she did nothing.

again. like i always do.

i feel horrible though. she cant help that shes like that. its my fault for making her angry...

seelie, stop it! it is not your fault! i silently chastised myself for probably the millionth time that day.

i was currently having a mental debate with myself, most likely making some ridiculous faces in the process, while on the way to my house in the back of mr. gryffans car.

i looked up from my lap were my eyes had been glued since i had entered the vehicle and seen that mr. gryffan was looking at me through the rear view mirror.

i blushed and looked down at my lap again quickly when i had realised it.

i heard him chuckle and it just made my cheeks grow ever more scarlet.

ugh. how do i manage to always get myself into these situations.

why did a handsome teacher---seelie...my mind warned me---how did a good looking, i corrected myself, teacher end up taking notice to someone like me.

no one else ever does. why did he. why couldnt he just leave me alone. then i wouldnt have to bother him and his brother by moving in with them. i could just continue living with my mother.

and she wouldnt be in jail.

i felt my heart drop.

its all my fault she is in jail.

i heard a clearing of the throat and looked up, i guess mr. gryffan had saw my face changing from the thinking expression to one of guilt, i looked at him averting my eyes so he couldnt completely tell what my feelings were.

"y-yes mr. gryffan...?" i said stuttering a bit, i bit my lip and mentally slapped myself.

"seelie, you know this isnt you fault dont you? you did not make your mother hurt you and you did not get her put in jail----yes, dont give me that look, no im not reading your mind. stop making that funny face like i am a psychic or something." he looked at me ruefully.

my mouth dropped slightly open from shock and my eyes grew wide. i probably looked ridiculous.

i was speechless and didnt know what to say. i just kept staring at him like an idiot.

he suddenly burst out laughing, "y-y-you should have s-seen your face!!! HAHAHA" he laughed for a good 2 minutes and conner was giving him a disapproving look from the passenger site but he also had a small smile on his face.

"by the way, you can call me luke now, seeing as we will be living together." he added as he sobered up. still having tears running down his face from laughing so hard.

"i-i cant do that!" i said my eyes growing wide again.

"why cant you? you call conner by his first name. thats hardly fair." he said with a pouty look on his face, we had pulled over in front of what i was assuming was their house and he was turned around in his seat looking at me.

he looked like a puppy, i said to myself in my mind, and giggled a bit.

"whats so funny?" conner said looking at me with an amused expression.

"n-nothing." i said a little to quickly and conner and mr. gryffan both looked at me amused.

"why cant you call me by my first name?" mr. gryffan persisted.

"because your my teacher!" i said looking at him as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"so?" he said looking at me as if that wasnt a really reason and before i got anything out conner spoke up.

"its true seelie, it really doesnt matter the school has been informed about you living with us and they cant expect you to call us by our last name while living with us. thats just too stuffy!" conner said and mr. gryffan was nodding his head vigorously in agreement.

i laughed at mr. gryffan because the more i was around him the more he reminded me of a puppy. it was weird.

"o-okay i will try...." i said slowly and looked at mr. gryffan. "conner...and...luke....." i said testing out mr. gryffans name it felt weird calling him that but i would have to get used to it i was living with him and conner after all. 

i didnt want to make either of them awkward so i will try my best!

mr--i mean lukes face brightened up immediately, and a huge grin spread across his face.

he was so different from in school where he seemed to be stuffy and very serious. he seemed to be more happy and outgoing now that im getting to know him more.

maybe living with them wouldnt be so bad.

we got out of the car and grabbed some of my bags that we had gotten from my house out of the trunk and headed to the front door of the house.

as conner unlocked the door he turned around and as he opened the door, both him and luke said the most kind and welcoming words i have ever heard it made my heart swell with happiness.

"welcome home, seelie."
