Of Strawberries and Gum

Detention #3

"Your marks have improved a lot within just six months!" my chemistry teacher says to me while going over test papers, it was lunch time and I was spending it in his classroom. "I'm really impressed Marshall." He says with a soft smile that makes my heart flutter

"Thanks but... there's some stuff that I don't understand and I was wandering if you could help me with it?" I ask, in all honesty there was something in chemistry confusing me but I have an ulterior motive behind that question.

"Is it thermochemistry?" he asks then mumbles more to himself than to me, "I knew I rushed through that unit, but there just wasn't enough time to cover everything."

"Um yeah, sure." I shrug I didn't particularly care about that unit I just want to spend more time with him outside school, specifically his house. I want some hanky-panky action. I was sexually frustrated.

"It's great to see you care about your studies, Marshall." He says smiling proudly at me, "We can meet up in my class afterschool if you want, and I'll provide you with all the help you need."

"Nah, after school just wont do." I shake my head at him

"Busy with club activities? We can meet during lunch hours if so."

"That wont do either, how about outside the school?" I ask stressing on the last words and hoping he'll get a hint.

"Do you want to meet at the public library?" he says instead, how can he be so dense!

"Gumball I want to go to your house." I say finally

"No." he says immediately

"You didn't even think about it!" I freak out, how can he be so mean.

"I don't need to. I can't have a student in my house, it's dangerous." He says in a more teacher-like voice

"It's not dangerous if no one finds out, plus I thought we were dating!" he was being unreasonable, cant he just let it slide for once.

"We are not dating, you thought wrong. A teacher cannot date his student."

I cross my arms and glare at him, did he really just say that? Did he just say that we weren't fucking dating? But I thought....

"You're being really annoying now. Why don't you let go for once?" I say loudly

"I think you should leave now Mr. Lee, lunch is almost over and you need to get ready for your next class." Gumball says instead as he goes back to grading test papers. I leave his classroom fuming as the bell goes and bump into Finn in the hallway.

"Where were you? You never skip lunch." He asks

"I was with PG, but he was acting really stupid." I complain to him

"What did you do this time?" Finn says sounding not surprised at all.

"I didn't fucking do anything! He's the one who's acting like we don't even like each other. He didn't kiss me since the last time, he's not flirting with me and he wont tell me where he fucking lives!" I fuss up throwing my hands in the air

"Marshall Lee exams start next week and graduation is the week after, can't you hold on till then? I mean you've been doing well for two years, how's a couple of weeks any different?" Finn says trying to console me but I ignore him and say,

"Finn you have to help me get his address! You volunteer at the front desk right? You have access to all the information, you have to get me his address!"

Finn scowls at me at once and scolds me, "You are so going to get him fired; Marshall there's a reason he doesn't want you to come and you should probably respect that."
