It Started With A Kiss [Teacher/Student Relationship]

It Started With A Kiss - Chapter 27

What would I do if I fall in love illegally? What would happen if I can't stop my feelings from growing towards Mr. Fuller? What would happen if I fall in love illegally?

Come on Daphne, think! I need to answer NOW, and fast!

I think I was taking forever to answer Mr. Miller's million dollar questions. All I could hear was the sound of my heart beating and the clock ticking from the wall.

I felt the whole class stare at me. They were waiting, waiting for an answer that would never come. I can't answer these questions. I can't!

But that just shows how much I'm affected by it. It just shows how weak I am when it comes to this stuff. I need to be strong. I need to do this. I need to have some closure. I need to shut him up, and fast.

I cleared my throat and smiled at Mr. Miller. Oh he doesn't know what was coming to him now! You never mess with a girl, especially Daphne Moore!

BUT as soon as I opened my mouth to say something smart, the door creaked open, revealing no other than Mr. Fuller.

Oh great! Just great!

He glanced around the class and grinned. "What are you guys doing today?" He asked the class while he shut the door behind him and walked towards Mr. Miller.

"Tests. Its a question and answer type of test." Mr. Miller smirked as he gave Mr. Fuller a man hug.

"Nice. So who's turn is it?"

"Hers." Mr. Miller pointed towards me and winked.

I rolled my eyes and looked at Mr. Fuller. He looked stunning with his white polo t-shirt paired with a black jeans.

His eyes immediately landed on mines and I can't help about the fact that he wasn't mine. That he never loved me, that he never cared for me. Well sure he did save me from the rapist, but that's because its his duty to protect me, because I'm his student. Just a student...

I heard Mr. Miller clap his hands together and smirked. "Okay Daphne. We're still waiting for your answers."

Come on Daphne. You can do this. Show them no weakness, because if you can't, Blake might kill th-.

I immediately removed that nasty thought out of my head and smiled. That's right, Daphne. You're doing great. Keep smiling, keep smiling.

I rubbed my hands together and began.. Boy this is going to be so long.

"Well, um what would I do if I fall in love illegally?" I asked myself, tapping my fingers to my desk. I met Mr. Fuller's eyes and continued. "You can't help who you fall in love with, sir. It just happens. You don't know how or why, you just do. And what would I do? Simple.. Keep loving him." I said, not breaking eye contact with Mr. Fuller. "I know its just going to hurt me in the end, but who cares? Cause I sure don't!" The whole class giggled and laughed. I smiled to myself and continued, still staring at Mr. Fuller. "I'm not that type of person who gives up easily. I fight for what I want, I fight for what I think is right." I said, examining Mr. Fuller's face. He showed no emotion. I think he has no idea I was talking about him.

"So you don't care? At all?" Some girl asked. I think it was Gabrielle, the school nerd.

I sigh and nodded. "Of course I don't. But I'll be scared, scared of the circumstances we might face in the future, scared of what would be the outcome if I continue loving him. But love takes risks. Being in love takes alot of risks, but if you don't take risks then you won't be able to learn from them." I said, not breaking eye contact with Mr. Fuller.

"Are you willing to take risks, Ms. Moore?"

Am I?

"Yes, Mr. Fuller.. I'm willing." I said with no hesitation.

The whole class clapped and cheered for me, which shocked me at least. People from behind me were tapping me on my shoulder saying I had a good answer. Of course it was, it came from my heart.

Mr. Miller told the class to quiet down while he wrote something on his clipboard. "That was perfect, Daphne. You have a 100." He said smiling. He then turned around and faced Mr. Fuller. "So what are you doing here?"

Mr. Fuller broke the eye contact with me and looked at his 'boyfriend'. "Well, I need to ask your students something."

Mr. Miller nodded and gestured for him to explain. "Well, who's taking my Drama class?"

A few of my classmates raised their hands, including mines and Jacob. "Well I have bad news. Our play Lovers In Paris will be cancelled."

"What?! Why!" Some girl yelled.

I was shocked. Why would he cancel it?

"For some reasons. But don't worry, we'll start another one.. Which is Romeo and Juliet.. But the play will be tomorrow, so Daphne and Jacob, be ready by tomorrow because you both have the part."

"I'm not coming to school tomorrow, sir!" Jacob yelled across the room.

"Then I guess I'll be Romeo, since we need a few guys for the other casts. Are you okay with it Daphne?" Mr. Fuller said.

Am I okay with it? Mr. Fuller as Romeo, while I'm his Juliet? Hell yes!

"Sure." I said calmly, but deep down inside I was jumping up and down with joy.

"Good. We'll start rehearsing today after school." He said.

"Umm sir? What's the reason anyway?" Vanessa asked.

Mr. Fuller sigh and ran a hand through his hair. He seemed to be in deep thought. What could possibly go wrong?

Mr. Fuller opened his mouth and spoke: "Because Romeo and Juliet is quicker than Lovers in Paris."

"What's with the hurry though?" I asked examining his face. What's going on?

He sigh and continued. "I was offered an FBI position back in Quantico, Virginia."

"And?"

"I accepted the offer."
