I Got You (Student/Teacher) ON HOLD

31 He's Back

A/N: Surprise update! So next monday my little one has the week off from school for spring vacation/holiday. I'm unsure if I'll be able to upload like usual. With that being said I've decided to post twice this week just in case I can't next week. Look for the next chaper on Saturday/Sunday. Hope y'all enjoy :)

I

t's been a two weeks since Valentines day and I've been thankful that I haven't seen or heard from Chad since then. Keir is still a little uneasy about everything but I know he's doing better knowing that Chad hasn't been around. One question the both of us have is how did he get that rose for me? Clearly he didn't ask his brother and it's not like he could ask a student to do it for him. Then there is a possibly that he bought it himself, if he did it might explain why no one had seen him since.

It was another game day for Keir, Carter and Lance. Keir was at home finishing up lesson planning for the week ahead. He was lucky that he didn't have homework to grade this weekend which meant he could focus more on hockey. Next weekend though he might not be so lucky since we have a book report due on Thursday.

Lance, Brad, Carter, Gemma and I sat around the game room at Brad and Carters house. We were trying to figure out what to do and for the past hour we had just been sitting there talking about nothing. But an awkward silence was brought upon us when Carter made a joke about Brad crushing on a friend.

"Do you guys think you'll win tonight?" I asked trying to relieve the tension.

"Of course!" Carter replied cockily.

"What makes you think that?" Gemma asked him.

"Obviously because Mr. O'Connor." Brad replied rolling his eyes. "The guy is a robot."

Lance playfully nudged me. "He was built to play. Maybe he should skip the teaching and become a hockey player."

"Hey. I think he's a great teacher." I mumbled.

"I agree. He is a great teacher. I wouldn't want anyone else teaching English for us this year." Gemma said jumping up and moving around the room looking for something to do.

"Is he your favorite teacher, Harper?" Carter asked nudging me like Lance did. I shot him a glare and answered.

"No. He is not."

"Who is then?" He smirked.

"None of them. Got a problem with that?"

"Nope. I just thought he was. My bad."

Brad shot up to go play a board game with Gemma while Lance, Carter and I remained sitting on the couch.

"What the hell are you playing at?" Lance hissed at Carter. Thankfully the others were on the other side of the room and out of earshot.

"What did I do?" He asked.

"Don't play stupid. Making comments like that. You could get them into trouble. Do you want to do that?"

"No." He shook his head. "Shit, I'm sorry Harper. I was just joking around. I wasn't thinking about how they might have taken it."

"You're lucky they have no idea what you were talking about." I told him, as I watched Brad and Gemma.

"I'm sorry."

"Just keep the jokes about my relationship private around others that don't know about him and I."

"Got it." He nodded and stood up. "I still have my gear to get ready." He soon exited the room and Lance and I walked over to Brad and Gemma.
