The Tutor

It was so damn embarrassing that Asha kept picking at his braces to be sure it was all gone. He couldn't help thinking about how embarrassed he was. He was actually hot and I screwed everything up! Then it occurred it him that the new English teacher, Mr. Tanner might be hot but he was his teacher and he didn't even know his first name. Besides he seemed too straight. Like he might have a girl friend who wants a huge family straight. Asha shook that thought and went back to pulling gum out of his braves in the boys' bathroom as fast as he could. He wasn't planning in staying in there knowing Josh and his group of ass holes for friends would be around soon to taunt him. Once finished he raced out the bath room. He kept his head down the whole time to avoid eye contact just in case.
"Mr Moore!" He heard a familiar voice call him. Mr Tanner was behind him holding a stack of papers. Asha looked up to Josh and his friends getting closer. He turned as fast as he could and ran up to Mr Tanner.
"Yes Mr Tanner!" He said too excited. He smiled wide showing his white teeth and the blue braces on them. Mr Tanner cleared his throat and smiled back. Unlike Asha's that was innocent and too sweet his was calm and seductive with out him trying. Asha blushed.
"Mr Moore you you left you things in my class." Asha sighed and put his hands out. Mr Tanner placed the stack of papers in his hands.
"Thank you," Asha said looking down at his geometry homework.
"Do you need any help I'm any of those classes?" Mr Tanner asked. Asha looked up at him. His mouth was dry and he was absentminded about he was biting his lip."Well do you?"
Asha quickly snapped out of it. "Um English mostly." He admitted.
Mr Tanner smiled once more. Oh god that smile will be the death of me, Asha thought. "Then it's settled I'll tutor you every um...."
"Friday." Asha said.
"Oh good. Every Friday" He reached his hand out. Asha only looked at it then at his stack of papers. Mr Tanner slowly put his hand back to his side. "You should get a book bag."

The Moore household wasn't like other's. It wasn't warm and welcoming nor was it full of joy. Mr Moore was barely home and Mrs Moore the same. Asha stayed home alone at times with his big black dog, Vex. Only two family photos were in the house, one of Asha as a baby and another of Asha's awkward fifth grade graduation. The house had two floors even though the family was small and barely occupied the house. Family members barely came to visit at times as Mrs and Mr Moore were intimidating to fellow family members. They had no friends so there for no guest. Asha would sneak Delilah in at times to get over his overbearing boredom. She would eat up half of his food and then use his bath room after words for other reasons. His room was a bog one not as big as his parents but big enough for a boy and his big dog. He usually slept on the large window seat to watch the sky while he read. He wasn't like his parents, he wasn't intimidating, no one closed there mouth when he entered the room, no one avoided eye contact with him, and no one shook when they talked to him. He was nothing like them. Nothing at all.

When Asha returned home his mother wasn't home nor was his father, George. Asha called up Delilah and as fast as he dialed her up she was there on her bike. When he answered the door Delilah stood there in pink shirts and white tang top. No bra since her boobs where so small it didn't actually matter. "Get in before these neighbors snitch!" Asha pulled her in leaving her bike out side.
"Hey!" Delilah shouted once the door slammed behind her. "So controlling." He rolled his blue eyes and took a seat in the living room.
"He's my tutor." He said.
Not knowing who her friend was talking about Delilah asked, "Who the hell are you talking about dork?"
"Mr Tanner." Asha said, flipping through channels before settling on one.
A smile spread across her face, she squealed like a pig at the news. "Ah cute Mr Tanner!" She gripped his hands in hers. "As in hot Mr Tanner?!"
Asha pulled his hands from her sweaty palms. "Yes. Jesus Christ calm down." He wiped his palms on his thighs.
"Oh My god that means you can be close to him. Probably do h--"
He clapped his hands over her big mouth as red spread across his cheeks. "Don't you dare!"
She giggled into his palm and perversely raised an eye brow and winked. Asha pushed her away. "Stop! I don't even know if he's gay?"
"He could be bi or pan or some shit." Delilah said. "Either way he's hot"
"Yeah but he's my teacher." Asha leaned in to the couch.
"I don't know about you but I would break a thousand laws for him." Delilah laughed out. Asha knew Delilah didn't try know how he felt about Mr Tanner. It wasn't like a small school crush oh no the minute her heard that voice his heart nearly stopped, and when he spoke to him and only him his heart sent faster and faster like electricity. He was in love.
Madly and desperately in love like a a foolish child.
