Lesson's Learned ((Jalex))

Too Much

Alex's pov

    It has been a few weeks since Jack and I have been flirting you can say. He would act up in class and I would tell him to stay after for lunch detention the next day and he would eat his sand-which and listen to music with me. Then after school we would text. Jack is truly the sweetest kid I've ever meet. When I'm talking to him I don't feel so alone. I live in a big house all by myself but when I'm texting the boy, I feel as if I'm not all by myself. I've also learned a lot about my student. He likes music wants to start a band and he is fully attracted to dudes. I haven't told him I'm gay yet, I've been putting that off for a little while. I'm currently waiting for Jack so I can drive him home which I do everyday. Early today I passed him and his friends in the hall way, they were teasing him for "fucking the music teacher." So guess they've noticed his absents at lunch. The wooden door  to my classroom opened, revealing a red eyed Jack who looked completely terrible. Tears stained his face. I quickly arose from my desk, walking open armed to the boy who's arms were pulled closely to him self. I pulled him in to a hug, I soon felt his arms go shyly around my neck. I lifted him up and bought him to my desk. He sat on some unimportant papers, all that mattered at the current moment was Jack and what was upsetting him. I don't care if the school went up into flames or some broke into my house and if I left now I'd be able to catch him. I just wanted to hug Jack and tell him whatever was happening to him that it'll get better and I wanted to kiss away his tears. Wow....wait that's illegal. I sit on the desk that sits not to far from my teaching desk (a.k.a Jacks desk). I grab the box of tissues that sat on the end of my desk, handing one to Jack and leaving the box on my lap. 

    "What's wrong?" I ask after sitting in silence after a while. Jack opened his mouth making a noise that couldn't from words. I quickly left the desk I was sitting on and sat next to Jack. I patted his back as he turned into me. He wasn't crying anymore just trying to catch his breathe. "Do you want to go home?" He shook his head just as I finished the question. "Where do you want to go then?" He looked up at me with swollen eyes and pointed at me. "My house it is." I hopped off the desk and he followed. We didn't speak until we got to the car and we both started humming at the song on the radio. "Did a kid in school do this?" A sigh escaped Jacks lips. "No." "Then who, Jack I'll help you I promise. I know teachers aren't very good at this this thing, but I can try." Jack stuttered not saying anything just making noise. "At your house." Was all he said as he looked out the window. We didnt speak until we pulled into the drive way of my house. "Your place is huge!" Jack said in awe. I gave a cocky answer back about my dick or something then entered my house. Sitting down on the couch Jack joined me. "Now tell me what happened." Jack took a deep breathe.

   "I was sitting in last period and I was thinking about how much I hate math wen I had to pee. I asked the teacher to use the restroom, so I did. In the bathroom the door opened and this kid I really don't like came in. He had this evil look on his face. He was in my math class so he knew I was in there. As soon as he saw me he punched me to the ground and started kicking me and you know hurting me. He called me gay for hanging out with you all the time and told me I shouldn't hang out with you cause you're a loser and all the other teachers hate you. He knows this because he's having sex with the history teacher. He said that I should just go back to my "friends" and leave you to just teacher. But I couldn't do that. And I told him he'd have to kill me before he'd make me stop hanging out with you. He didn't kill me but it's true I feel as if I'd die without you cause yea I had friends but they didn't text me 24 7, they would drop me instantly for a girl and they never wanted to be seen with me. I use to get I don't know, sad you could say but now when I feel sad you text me happy things and I feel happy. So long story short that kids a dick, and you're my bestfriend." Oh god I think I just fell in love with Jack Barakat.

Jack's pov

  Woah I let a little to much out when I was telling Alex my story. I almost said "the man who I think I'm in love with" but I covered it with "best friend." When I finished my story, Alex got of his leather couch and he hugged me. I took in his scent, hair product and the mints he has hidden in his desk that I steal from him. He released from our hug and he smiled. "Funny thing Mr.Barakat you're my best friend too, and I didn't know all the teachers hated me." Alex frowned. "Ah screw them I have the best, best friend." He smiled hugging me again.

Few Hours later

"Jack I think I'm gay, well I don't think I'm gay I know I'm gay." Alex said as we were watching peter pan. I looked at him. I was so happy he couldn't even tell. "Yay now we can talk about boys." Even though I dont want to talk about boys all I wanted to do was kiss him. He doesn't like me Alex is a teacher and liking his student is not something teachers do.

   The end of the night came very quickly and my mom can to pick me up cause Alex opened a bottle of wine and had a few to many glasses. Alex insited that he was sober I didn't want to end up on the 5 o'clock news dead, so I called my mom. As he walked me to the door we said our goodbyes. "Alex one more thing." I pushed my lips to his cheek very quickly and ran out of his house smiling. When I looked back he had a light smile too as he held his cheek. As we drove away I saw Alex down the bottle of wine.
