Mr. Smith

P a r t 4

"Justin..." I said speechless. He started to walk toward me, and put his hands on my hips. I put my hands on his cheeks and put my lips onto his. I closed my eyes, and eased my body into our kiss. I pulled my hands off of his face, and disconnected our kiss. I wrapped my arms around him and put my chin on the top of his head. "I have to go Justin. I'll see you tomorrow?" He nodded and I hopped into my car. I started my car and drove home.

The next morning as I walked into the building the principal asked if we could talk. I nodded and took my stuff to my room, and then walked back to the principals office. When I entered she said it was something to talk about privately. We walked to her private room in the back, and I sat in a comfy chair, while she sat behind her desk. "So, Mr. Smith. Does this look familiar?" She asked showing me a picture of Justin and I last night after school off of Facebook. "No," I said, "I mean, yeah we talked after school, but it's because he is having some problems, and I was the best person he could come to..."

The principal nodded and looked at me in the eyes, "Are you lying?" My eyes felt beat down, "Yes, I'm lying. Justin kissed me, I didn't kiss him. I'm sorry... It won't happen again." Her face turned furious, "You're right it won't, because you're fired! You have 20 minutes to get your stuff and leave." I nodded and pressed my lips together. I got up and walked out the door.

I walked to my class and got my stuff. I sat at my desk a few minutes and just thought through things. Was Justin really worth my job? Yes, but right now I needed this job. I've went to school for this job for four years and it all went down the drain.

I got up from my chair, and walked out the door. I only had my laptop and my now half full coffee mug. I looked at the principal as I walked out the front door. As I kept walking I noticed the same group of kids outside the building. They were doing the same thing, smoking and having small talk. "Where are ya going Mr. Smith...?" One kid asked, "Yeah, are you going to set your car up for make out session with Justin after school?" I looked over to Justin, "I got fired." I said and kept walking. Justin's friends kept making fun of Justin and I, "You're too gay to be a teacher anyways." And that's when I stopped, "Just because I'm gay, doesn't mean you can make mean remarks to me. I'm a human, and so is Justin. Your childish behavior is hurting more than just me." I said turning around. I looked at Justin and how he was leaning against the brick, cigarette hanging from his mouth. "Smart mouth. You don't even know your own words, do you?" One teased. "You've changed Justin to a faggot like you." My body felt angered. I set my stuff down, and began to walk over to the group of kids.

"Oh, you wanna go?" One kid asked as he stepped forward. "Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" The few kids chanted, but Justin. I stepped forward towards the kid, "Yeah, let's go!" I said getting in his face. Justin set his cigarette bud on the staircase next to him. He began to jog to me and pushed me away from his friend. He followed me back and held my hips, "Hey, what are you doing? Settle down." He whispered to me. I nodded and took a deep breath in. I looked into his eyes, and put my shaking hands onto his cheeks. I leaned forward to kiss him and he closed his eyes. I felt his lips against mine, and his friends were in awe, "Awwww, and their only 6 years apart..."

I could taste the smoke in his breath. When I began to push him away, I turned and ran away. I grabbed my coffee and laptop. I kept running until I got to my car. I sat in the drivers seat, and threw my stuff in the back seat.

After minutes of just sitting there, my head on the steering wheel, someone tapped on my window, "Sam, roll down the window." Justins voice demanded. I turned and rolled the window down, "What the hell do you want?" I asked as I sighed again, "Here's my number, text me sometime." I nodded and took the small piece of paper. As I began the role my window back up Justin spoke up, "Mr. Smith, I'm always going to be here for you. I'm going to stand up for you, no matter what." I nodded, "That's nice." I said sassily, then began to role the window back up.

Before I knew it, he was sitting in the passenger seat. "Mr. Smith, tell me what's wrong." "I've worked so hard for this teaching job, and I just lost it because I kissed a random kid I've known for two days." He looked hurt, "I'm just some random kid... I mean nothing to you?" He asked, I looked down in guilt. His hand reached up to my chin and pulled me head up. My eyes met his, "You mean everything to me."
