My prince-ipal

Winter winter winter

The cold air was already thick and heavy with fog layered softly like clouds over the green wet landscape glistening with dew. Puddles rippled at my feet making spaloosh sounds as it surrendered to my boots, that were already scuffled up after this weeks walking. The usual route I trudge through in order to get to school has been blocked off due to the flooding and recent mudslide, so I now was forced to go through some mucky bike trail that had rigid steps and waking up earlier in order to still get to school on time, but I'd be fine even if I didn't come on time. Alex would surely excuse it and let me waltz around as long as I wanted to or felt the need to relax I could just leave and he'd excuse it. Since the car "accident" with Carter, we've got a lot closer. We've actually gone on a date, not so much in public, but he picked me up and we went to a small little park with a cute little picnic basket like in some adorable chick flick movie. Then once it got darker with the sun setting along the green pond water he pushed me softly on the swing telling me stories about the past in our school and crazy old teachers that tried to hit on him. We laughed for hours, but he never told me a thing about him personally, like his family or childhood. I longed for him to share more with me, but I guess I'd have to wait because I couldn't barge in on him.
Once I got to school everyone was surely already in class and the tardy bell has already rang for kids like me that all arrived late, but I just swung the door open and squeaked my way through the hall. The third door on the right with a foggy class window with plain black letters stating: OFFICE.Was a door I found myself walking through quite often now, everyone has grown to know me in the office especially since I'm the Principle's new TA, yup, that's right! He was so worried about me looking suspicious that he decided I should just be his Teacher Assistant that could leave excused from any class and basically roam around our school. It was a joy, so walking in through the door no one questioned me and my small brown bag of hopefully still warm donuts that I've carried all this way for me and Mr. Dylan, Alex, to share as he worked on his computer. As I walked passed the main counter my phone buzzed stopping me in my tracks in front of his door, I rather read it now and see if it's important at all because I wanted no one to distract me from my time with Alex.
Except it was from Alex.

Where is my TA?

I snickered and smiled trying to peer through his main office window seeing him stare at his phone anticipating my response, which was adorable, but I couldn't resist having a bit of fun.

At home... Sicker than a dog :,( I can't come today... Sorry!! Xoxo

I snorted holding in my loud laughter as his eyes widened and he frantically looked around bewildered at my text. He looked at his phone and frowned beginning to type, but then he never finished. He simply looked out at the back wall, and then got up. Wait, GOT UP?! Oh yes, he got up very hard and angry with a determined look in his eyes that would've made a spartan freeze in its tracks. I bit the sleeve of my jacket watching him shuffle papers in his suit case and then his keys out of the drawer, then finally a swift slide in front of the door opening it to find me, a flushed pale mess, terrified and embarrassed. He looked at my feet angrily about to snap something at me until he realized it was ME. His eyes widened, softened, and then hardened all over again looking at me, making me tense up, and all I could do was give him a crooked smile with shy shoulders. He stepped backwards studying my face and then swiftly grabbed my arm yanking me in and then shutting the door hard enough to make an angry 'Get the Hell in here' statement for the office to simply get the point as well, but instead of screaming and yelling he grabbed my face bringing it into his. I choked back in fear, but realized he was just kissing me. I fell into him longing his warm body and soft velvety hands that held my fragile jaw in place, along with his long black eyelashes fluttering along my cheek and eye with every kiss. He let his lips linger softly pulling away letting me feel his thin lips drag across mine, but then pressed into my mouth again meeting every inch of my drowning soul. Alex slowly was drowning me, his smell of pine trees and mint musk, pale smooth slender skin, scrawny fingers and firm palms, and smooth mouthwatering lips. He was slowly killing me. I would die over and over again if this was how it went. Like being born all over again.

That would be way too easy for me I guess, because he pulled away right as my hands traveled into his hair making me stumble back in the wall sloppily. "I was about to pay you a visit, you little brat." He spat the word BRAT like a curse making me look down like a small pup. "It was a harmless joke.." I muttered crossing my arms trying not to make eye contact.
"You're telling me that it didn't cause anything missy?"
"Only a damn good kiss..." I bit my lip shyly and felt his smile grow causing my spine to tingle and goosebumps to grow.
"You're lucky I find you so damn cute Spence." He shortened my name cutely and kissed my nose making my eyes to search upwards only to see his piercing grey blue eyes that made me melt even more.
"You're crazy." I whispered trying to hold my shy smile in.
"Crazy about you my dear, now gimme your jacket and sit down already." He flipped me around sliding my jacket off and pulling my chair out for me to sit in. Getting to know him more than just how attractive he was, I learned he was an actually true gentlemen that was always pleased to serve you. It was so odd how he could be so controlling and then suddenly so sentimental, I felt so special.

He sat down soon after me and handed me a small cup of coffee from our favorite little café in the town as I handed him my small brown bag with the donuts from the market we went to in Old Town. He smiles gratefully taking a chunk and shoving it into his mouth without any thought or care of how he looked, but either way he would be very attractive. I smiled watching his eyes flutter at his computer and then back at his small crumb of a donut he had left, which was soon gone, but he was here in front of me. Of all things and all people, this wasn't what I expected to experience here when I walked through the gates of this school. I expected perverted jocks, bitchy brats, and gross geeks that drooled when cheerleaders walked by, I expected the stereotypical high school. But I suppose you don't usually end up in a relationship with your principal in most high schools, although this is wrong and against the law. We were fine though, that's all that mattered.
"You okay there?" His small voice woke me from my thoughts.
"Yeah, just was thinking that's all. Sorry," I smiled, "You okay?"
"Of course, what were you thinking about?" He raised an eyebrow and his chilling eyes searched mine. Well I was thinking about him, us, and everything.
"When are soccer tryouts for this year?" I asked looking at him innocently, but he kept staring at me questioningly. Alex isn't stupid, but he knows his boundaries so he just relaxed back, "October tenth, you still have quite some time."
"Oh okay, that's all I needed to know, thanks..." I smiled and looked down at my half eaten donut that was seeping in my coffee that I have dunk it in over and over without actually taking a bite, but before I could finally finish the task Alex grabbed it away in the air toying with me.
"But, that's not all I needed to know. Now tell me what's on your mind Spencer." He stared coldly at me and then lowered my soggy donut to the opening of his mouth acting as if it would make me budge.
"Go ahead and eat it, I already ate breakfast. These were mostly for you anyways." I slumped back in the chair looking at my sloppy blue nails.

"Please Spencer..?"
His voice ran down my spine giving me the worst chills ever experienced by man. His voice wasn't menacing or stern, it was soft and a cool whisper that was more like a beg. He was pleading as he leaned forward with wide eyes searching my face for a response that I'm sure he wouldn't understand.
"Alex, it's not a big deal I swear, stop being so silly... I was just thinking about us." I shyly bit my lip and his hand lifted my chin upwards to his eye level searching for more.
"Well, I'm yours. Don't worry or think about any other thing, even if that's not what crossed your mind. I'm yours as long as you'll be mine Spencer." He had soft eyes that I wanted to stare into, but the tears in my eyes blurred it. He sighed at my pathetic cry and kissed my eyes closed and then my nose, then to my quivering lips. I wasn't worried, but I didn't expect that. How could he look at me and say something that every girl in this world wanted, of all people he wanted me? His hands slightly shook as he rubbed my cheeks, then stood up to stand behind me and down to kiss my head.
"C'mere spence.." He lifted me up softly and then sat in the chair that my once shaking body sat, holding me in his arms letting my head rest upon his bony shoulder.
"Thank you." I muffled into his shoulder softly.

"No, thank you Spencer."
