I walk into Roberts room and his head is down on his desk. I dont think he knew i was in the room. "Taylor?" He asked, making me a jump a little by surprise.
"Yes?" I asked. He sits up in his chair, he doesnt look happy, i dont blame him.
"Do you even know how old he is? His middle name? Who is best friend is!?" He asked.
"I know the answer to the last question. Thats it, and by the way, the kiss, was harmless. And it wasnt all my fault by the way!" I scold, i can tell he was surprised.
"Hes twenty three years old, his middle name is Mack, and im his best friend." He says.
"Well now i know the answer to all of the questions." I chuckle nervously, its obviously not the time.
"Why did you two kiss, anyways?" He asks, okay now we are back to reality for sure.
"Because..." Is all i manage to get out.
"I need a reason, Taylor." I think i see steam coming out of his ears when he said that.
"Because, we like eachother. Dont worry, it was a peck more than a kiss..." I say trying to make it sound a little better. "There was nothing to it, it was just a harmless kiss okay!?"
"Fine, but will you tell your mother? And are you going to spread it around the school?" He asks like bullets shooting into me. I raise an eyebrow, wait, what will my mom say? Shit!
"How about, we dont say anything? To anyone, and keep it a secret." I say, hoping he will budge. Nope.
"Taylor, you have to tell your mom, or she will find out the hard way and you will get into more trouble.." Damn it, hes right. I sigh, i really and i mean REALLY, dont want to tell her. She will definitely flip. "Also, your only thirteen, you cant possibly think that you two can go out on dates and stuff, you have to wait until your eighteen, which is awhile away." He continues.
"I know.... And not THAT long! Only four years since im turning fourteen soon..." He raises an eyebrow now.
"You know its not going to happen right?" He asks. I nod and pick up my backpack. "Im guessing thats a signal to go?" I nod again. He nods, grabs his keys and we get in his car. "Where did you go after?" He asked. I didnt want to answer him and tell him about Mr. Palmers outburst. "Earth to Taylor, answer my question please."
"I went to Mr. Palmers, he wanted to know what the talk was about." I said, hoping there were no more follow up questions.
"What did he say?" He asked, damn it.
"He, uh, he.... He said 'what the heck!?' Then i explained and he cooled down a little..." I lied, hoping he wont see through me. He just nodded. "Now, can we drop this until i have to tell my mom?" I asked, he nodded, then it was silent until i got home. I saw my moms car in the driveway. I guess she got out early. I think Robert could tell that i was nervous.
"Want me to help explain with you? Maybe she wont be as mad at you while im around." He said as we got out of his car.
"Yes, and she wont be as mad because you will distract her too much!" I joked. We walked in and i took a deep breath. My mom was lying down on the couch, shit, shes not feeling well... This is going to be harder now that she is already in a bad mood. "Hey, mom, i see your home early." I said, she sat up a little, she looked pale.
"Hi Taylor and Robert, and yeah, im not feeling so well. How was school?" She asked, and deep breath, and here we go.
"Hi Nicole." Robert says before i speak.
"Well, school was something." I said, before i could continue my mom pitched in.
"Was ELA uncomfortable?" She asked.
"Yes, now i need to tell you everything so please wait until im finished." She nods after i say that, then i continue. "At the end of ELA, Mr. Stark told me he wanted to talk to me after school again. Then in social studies, Mr. Palmer told me to tell him how the talk will go after school. And then my day finished, so i went into Mr. Starks room. He asked me if i liked him, then he admitted that he liked me. I told him my answer, which was i think so, then we.. Okay please dont freak out, but we..."
"Kissed?" She cut me off. I was shocked for a second and then i nodded slowly. "Oh..."
"Yeah, but it was nothing...." I continue, shes not freaking out, im more frightened that she isnt.
"They stopped when i walked in the room." Robert decided to come in.
"Yeah..." I said, my mom was just nodding.
"And what did Mr. Palmer say?" She asked, im wondering if she even heard what we were saying or not.
"He said 'what the heck!?' And i explained to him the rest, he seemed to calm down a little before i left." I lied to her as well. She nodded, still not freaking out for some reason.
"So, what now?" She asked, i shrugged my shoulders.
"What do you mean what now?" I asked a little confused.
"With you and Mr. Stark, whats going to happen from now on? He waits until your eighteen and you go on a couple of dates. Or let him go, or what?" Who the hell is in my mother right now!? Im thinking to myself.
"I honestly dont know if i will still like him when im eighteen. But im not going to tell anyone else because i dont want him to get fired." I explain. Then she asks another question that took me by complete surprise.
"Do you also like Mr. Palmer???" She asked, i think Robert was surprised too.
"As my favorite teacher, not like i like Mr. Stark. Why do you ask?"
"Because you talk about Mr. Palmer more than anyone else, even Aaron." She says deviously. Oh my god mom!
"Okay, thats an exaggeration, and i talk about him a lot because i see him a lot. Plus social studies is my favorite class." I say, kind of disgusted that she would ask my something like that, even though i like a different teacher.
"Why is social studies your favorite class?" She asks, again deviously. Geez, shes never like this when shes not feeling well.
"Because, we dont do too much work, we barely get homework, and he lets us have like five minutes at the end of class to do whatever. Sometimes we go outside for a little bit too. So thats why, not because you think i like him too." I explain. I think she finally believes me and lets go of the topic.
"Okay..." She says.
"Well, im glad thats taken care of, im going to go home, Nicole, feel better and Taylor see you tomorrow." Robert says breaking the moment of silence.
"Okay, bye Robert." Me and my mom both say in sync. He walks out and i let my mom get some rest. And i hope Mr. Palmer isnt mad at Mr. Stark. I will just have to see tomorrow, it should be interesting.
