He's my teacher... but I owed him

He's my teacher... but I owed him (ON HOLD)

Chapter 1

"Lily! Get down here!" Mommy dearest actually wants to say goodbye this time? That's a change. I shrugged my shoulders and hopped off my bed whilst mentally preparing myself for my dad's speech. Don't get me wrong, I love my daddy! It's just that every time he and my mom leave for one of their trips he gives me and Justin, my twin brother, a speech about how good kids act when their parents go away. I didn't mind at first, but when you've been getting the same lecture since you were about ten it gets a little annoying. I'm seventeen now for god's sake!

"Lily sweetie, could you just have a seat for a sec. I want to talk to you and your brother before your mother and I leave. Now I know we've had this conversation a couple times before, so I won't go into too much detail, but you and your brother are maturing. We're trusting you guys home alone and I hope you know how you're expected to behave. We let you have quite a few parties over winter break but school starts Monday and you guys need to refocus." What happened to going with the short version of this? "Honey, we really need to go. We don't want to miss the plane." Trust my mom to be the one to interrupt. At least this time it was to my benefit. I hate it when she interrupts me, but I guess my dad is used to it by now, seeing as it never seems to bother him like it does me.

"Dad, we've been home alone before and we've never given you a reason not to trust us. Go on your trip, there's no need to worry about us," Justin stated in a very convincing manner if you ask me. "Okay, okay, we're going. You guys have fun and behave." Daddy gave me a kiss on the cheek and they were on their way to the airport. I'M NOT AFRAID, TO TAKE A STAND. EVERYBODY, COME TAKE MY HAND... David's calling Justin already?

"Hey man," Justin answered quickly.

"Hey, you're comin over right?" David asked, sounding like he was in a hurry.

"Yeah, parents just left so I'll be there in like twenty minutes. I'm just gonna take a quick shower first."

"No problem dude but make it fast, all the guys are already here.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm comin. Save me some pizza though!"

Justin hung up and turned to me, "I'm gonna go hang with the guys tonight. Will you be okay on your own?" He had a bit of a worried face on. I guess he felt bad leaving me home alone the first night mom and dad were gone. It's not like I've never been home alone though. Mom and dad are always away on their stupid little trips, and Justin practically lives at his friends houses. I think I'm used to it now.

"I'm not a little kid Justin, I'll be fine. You go have fun." I stated, trying to reassure him. I gave him a smile and he no longer seemed worried.

"I'll be back by tomorrow afternoon. Which car do you want?" He asked.

"Umm, I think I'll take the Audi tt this time. You okay with the r8?" We always did this. My family has tons of money, and along with that money, we got tons of cars as well. Justin and I have similar taste in cars so whenever we want to go somewhere-if were feeling considerate-I'll ask him which car he wants when I leave, and he does the same before he leaves. We agreed on who gets which car and he left. Once again I was alone in our big house with nothing to do. I could call my friends but I was kind of in the mood for a quiet night. Some people would call me weird for just staying home alone on the last Friday night before the end of winter break, but I don't really care. With all my friends, life is just a giant party-which is great, really-but sometimes I'm just not in a party mood and they don't really get that.

I've always had these moods, ever since I was little. When I was younger I would just sit on the beach-which is our version of a backyard-and stare out at the waves. As I got older I began running and stuff to get and keep the amazing figure I have right now... and that is when I found my spot. A good ways away from my house towards the end of my very long street-still on the beach-is an area surrounded by rocks. It's a part of the beach that is hidden by the rocks making an almost full circle around it. I used to feel kind of bad because there were a few houses by it, but when I'm sitting on the sand inside the circle of rocks nobody can see me. Plus nobody from those houses ever came out there. Once, my mom and I got into a big fight and I just couldn't be the house; so I went to my secret spot and stared out at the waves thinking. Ever since then it's been the spot I go when I just want to escape from my friends, or school, basically just to get away from the outside world.

I changed into a bathing suit and soffe shorts, grabbing my iPod on my way out, and went for a run. When I got to my spot I dropped myself down on the ground to try and get my breathing steady again. I had gotten there just in time to watch the sun set over the horizon. I sat there for a while just watching the sunset and thinking but soon got bored and decided to go for a swim. I removed my shorts and hid my iPod under them incase anybody happened to come around-not like I can't afford a new iPod. I dove under the water and swam around a bit, loving the way the waves carry me through the water. It seemed to be getting late so I decided to get out and go home to watch a movie or something.

I dipped under to fix my hair quickly before stepping out of the water. As I put my shorts back on I noticed one of the houses, basically right in front of where I was, had its back light on. In all the years I've been coming here not once did I see any lights on or anything in those houses, but today the back light was on and someone was looking out at me. It was dark so I couldn't really see but he looked as if he was in his twenties. I felt awkward cause I may have been on his property so I finished putting my shorts on, picked a song, and began my run home.
