Never Thought I'd Love You This Much...

Chapter 5

Alex Grey POV

It's been a few weeks since I started eating lunch here with Mr.Fitz. I like sitting here with him, but the only thing we talk about is how college was for him (not the exciting parts), or how high has been so far for me. I want to know more about him, but when I try to bring up something a little personal, like what's your favorite color, he changes the subject. Already the middle of September, so I'm going to ask him until he answers.

I get to the classroom, the doors unlocked but he isn't here yet. I did leave class early so he probably just left to get food. I'm debating if I should wait to eat until he's here or if that's a bit weird. It's not like it's a date, but I kinda wish it was. Why not. He's attractive and has a great personality, of what I know of him. What if it's not a good idea to learn more about him?What if that brings me closer to him in a way it shouldn't?

 I'm lost in my thoughts when I hear the door open. "Hey you're early." He beams his beautiful smile. I see him walking close to me, but I see his face and he realizes what he's doing. Was he going to hug me? Or ki-

He cuts me off. "You seem so far away."

I blush, "Um.." why am I blushing? "I-is there a chair i can move closer to your desk?"

I see him blush. "No, I could get you one."

I shake my head, "I'll just move the desk." I see him tense, but he smiles. "Don't worry I'll move it back." I tease. I move the desk to the side of his, and I have it facing the wall, so we aren't sitting next to each other.

"Just let me eat my food." He chuckles.

"You're the one that invited me to eat here."

"I didn't think you agree." He shifts awkwardly. "I didn't mean it in a bad way, but the only other teacher I talk to is Miss. Jackson and I guess that because she's closer to my age unlike the rest."

I bite my lip nervously. Why does this bother me? "Why don't you eat lunch with her?" I take a bite of my food, but I suddenly lost my appetite.

"First of all is between me and you, she can get a little annoying." He leans in a bit towards me.

"Um.. I wouldn't know. I didn't have her as a teacher." I show him a nervous smile.

"Oh, but second she eats lunch with the math teachers. Nothing wrong with that, but I'm just trying to get used to this still. This isn't high school, or college so it's different making friends."

"A least you're smart enough not to hang out with people you're not even friends with." I hate that i wasted my three years of high school hanging out with people I don't even like. I don't talk a lot in class, and I don't join school activities. I have friends in choir, but not close enough to hang out with regularly.

"Yeah, I guess, but a least you aren't hanging out with those girls." He looks at me.

I hide my face by looking down, "I still feel like an idiot though."

"Well... You still have Ash and..." He pauses.

I cut in, "You called her Ash? No one class her that besides me or her family."

He gives a small bashful smile, "Well you say it all the time, so it stuck."

I smile, "Well at least I still have her....What would you consider us?" He looks at me confused with wide eyes. I bite my lips, "Well like just teacher student, friends...um.." together? I could wish.

He takes a while to answer, and messes with his food. Real quietly he says,"Friends" I smile. Trying no to go crazy. Seconds later he says, "For now." more quietly.

I look at him."What was that?"

He looks us fast, "Nothing, just talking to myself!" He smiles a toothy smile.

I laugh then he starts to laugh along. "What he says defensive?"

I shake my head. "Nothing." I look at the time. "Damn it."

He looks at me confused. "I'll wait until tomorrow." I say as I stand up. The bell just rings as I'm about to put the desk into place. He stands up and takes it from me.

"Don't worry about it, I'll put it back. Also it's Friday, so I'm going to die from anticipation." He pulls the desk back to it's spot."

"Oh, wow, well i guess I'll see you Monday" I turn towards the door then look back to see him standing there looking at me. "Bye Mr. Fitz."

He smile, "Bye."
