Mr. Schmidt

Chapter 25

Enjoy.

Kendall POV

I was grading papers in my classroom. It was now five minutes after the students left school. I was pissed. I leave when they leave, I don't stay until 4:30pm, like the rest of these teachers do. Besides, they fail the homework that I give them, but do great on the state test! I don't get it, at all. I guess I must being doing something right if my math scores on the state test are up.

But that's only the good kids that try, try, try in my class. They fail the homework throughout the year, but it just clicks in their mind. That's only a few in my class though, but it's enough to make me look good.

There was paper after paper after paper. I had too many students because there was only one of me. I was the highest math and most profitable in the school. There could be only one me. No one does it like Mr. Schmidt can! I stopped awarding myself and turned my attention back to the grading.

I heard my door open and I looked up.

"Hey Kendall," Kaylie said as she grabbed a chair and sat next to me behind my desk. I leaned over and gave her a hug. I rocked her a little bit.

"How was your day?" I pulled away from her. She tilted her head from side to side.

"It was nothing too exciting, just another day...here." I nodded and sat back. She stared blankly at my desk like she always did. She wasn't very enthusiastic most days, but I can't blame her, this school isn't very exciting.

"Did your friends ask about me?" She nodded slowly.

"Of course they did. I just told them you were being a nice teacher, but they weren't buying it because they said you weren't very nice." Yeah, that was accurate. I was nice to Kaylie, but I wasn't very nice to a lot of kids at this school.

I am just not a kid person. I initially never wanted kids before I met Katelyn, I mean, I still don't want anymore, but Katelyn might have a different feeling, which I'm sure she does. If this relationship goes any further, which it's going great now, I am perfectly fine just having Kaylie as my own. I don't need another kid.

"I'm sorry I make it awkward for you and your friends." She looked up at me and shook her head.

"No, you're not making it awkward, well it is an awkward situation, but not for me, for my friends because you're their teacher and you're in a relationship with their friend's mom..."

I chuckled, "Yeah, but all I care about is that you're okay with this?" She put a thumbs up.

"Yes Kendall, I'm perfectly fine." I smiled. Kaylie and I had actually had a really good relationship. I thought it would be harder for us, but she was chill about it when I first told her.

"Tell me Kaylie-tell me, what do you want from me?" She looked away from me and she seemed like she was thinking, like deeply thinking. It also seemed like she knew exactly what she wanted from me, but just couldn't find the words. "You know you can tell me anything Kaylie." She nodded and looked up at me.

"I want love. I want that father and daughter relationship that I never had, but I also don't want to make you do it. I just want to be able to tell you anything and you handle it like a dad would..." Wow. This was huge for me. I've never had the responsibility of being a daddy. I've never handled daddy situations, I've never had to comfort my crying child, I've never had a daughter before.

"Of course. From now on I will be your father, but you don't have to call me dad or anything. Not that I didn't want you to, it's just, I don't want to make it awkward for you." She looked back at me and nodded.

"I'll call you something else that means dad." Uh oh. I wasn't too afraid of what she might call me, but then again, she's creative so she may call me shit head or something. Nah, I know she wouldn't do that.

"Come up with anything yet?" She narrowed her eyes and then snapped her finger. She pointed at me and looked. "Oh boy."

"I'm gonna call you...Kendall, I have nothing else." I laughed. If she was cool with calling me that, then that was fine by me.

"Very creative." We sat there for a few moments. "So, what brings you here? Want me to take you home?" She shook her head and shrugged.

"No, I just haven't seen you in a few days. Are you and my mom okay?" I put a thumbs up.

"Completely fine." Come to think of it, I haven't seen Katelyn in a few days. I hope she's okay because I haven't called her either. Bad boyfriend, bad boyfriend. "How about I take you home because I haven't seen your mom in a few days, so I wanna talk to her."

A few minutes later, we were in the car driving to Katelyn's house. I was humming along to some of the songs until I heard this growl. Was there a freakin' dog in my backseat or something? I glanced over at Kaylie.

"Um, did you just growl?" She put her hand on her stomach.

"My stomach did." I raised my eyebrow.

"Did you not eat lunch or something?"

"It wasn't my fault, it was the stupid line's fault. The entire school is down there for one lunch, that is so stupid. We have like 1,500 kids in this school. I probably should start packing." I remember those days in high school. I though our school lunch line was long, but I guess 1,500 doesn't compare to the 400 that were at my school.

"Well, let's go get something to eat."

A little Kayie and Kendall bonding. I hope you liked it. Until Next Time.
