No One Takes Me Home [Student/Teacher] (Josh Franceschi)

17. Oh Heart Of Mine

The lesson went on as it usually did, Autumn fell asleep for two minutes, woke up when Sara nudged her elbow, answered at least one question in class and then left.
On their way to Autumns locker Sara started talking about the concert even more.
"So like, can I really wear that? Did I look hot in it? I mean, yeah Jack said that but I mean, do you think he lied?" Sara was blabbering on and on about it. Autumn was getting tired of her endless talking.
She sighed and unlocked her locker.
"I mean he could've lied, right?"
Autumn rolled her eyes and took her bag out, she looked at Sara and mentally rolled her eyes.
"It's true, it's Jack. But you did look really good in that outfit, and anyway, Jack likes anything with two legs and a heart." Autumn stopped herself, it sounded so wrong. "I mean, in human form.. He doesn't like fuck.. chickens or something."
Sara laughed and shook her head.

"So are you gonna participate today?" Sara asked her friend when they sat the bleachers. The answer was pretty obvious since Autumn was on her phone in her 'normal' clothes, and everyone else had changed into their P.E outfits.
"No" she scuffed. "I'd rather have Alex hate me than being in P.E.." she was scrolling thorugh her phone, texting someone, or tweeting, or maybe both.
"Really?" a male voice said, Autumn looked up and right at her teacher. "Who's this Alex guy then?"
Autumn rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Gaskarth."
Mr. Franceschi shrugged and walked towards the field where the main part of the class already stood.

Autumn watched them run around the field, well not everybody ran, some of them just walked. Autumn was listening to the new All Time Low songs, she loved the one where Vic Fuentes featured on.
"In the chiil of your stare I'm painfully lost, like a deer in the lights of an oncomings bus, for the thrill of your touch I will shamefully lust.. As you tell me we're nothing but.. trouble, trouble.. trouble" she sang along quitely.
"I like Me Without You better" Mr. Franceschi sat down next to her, Autumn looked at him. What does he want now, can he leave me alone? I can't take being this close to him, and his adorble eyes and.. No stop!
"Yeah?" she asked and took her earphones out. "You don't like Vic?" her teacher smiled at her and nodded.
"I do, but I just prefer the other songs. Are you gonna see them play here in a few weeks?"
"Yeah, I'm gonna takes photos and film and stuff. It's gonna be great. Are you gonna go and see them play?" she wasn't too sure why she was talking to him, or even telling him that. But she found it sorta easy to talk to him.
"Yeah, you could say that.." he scratched his neck and looked at the class to see that they were doing as they were told. A couple of guys was sitting down in the middle, doing nothing. "Hey! Dave, Frank, Mike! Move it!" he yelled at them, the guys got up and started running.
"Lazy people eh?" Autumn smiled.
"You're the one to talk?" Mr. Franceschi said and got up. "I should get going, see you around Season.."

Autumn went back to her phone and her music.
Why does he keep calling me Season, it's cool. But just.. It gets to me. He gets to me.. Why do I let him get to me? What exactly is it about him that gets to me?

"Hey Autumn can I talk to you?" The P.E teacher said when the class ended. Autumn turned to ask Sara if it was okay and she nodded.
"Yeah" Autumn walked back to her teacher he was picking up his stuff from the bleachers.
"We can go into my office and talk, I think it's better" he said and motioned towards the school building.
The two started walking towards the school, they didn't say anything but there wasn't any awkward silence.

When they reached his office Mr. Franceschi opened the door and gave Autumn the impression that she could walk in so she did.
His office was like any other, a desk, a chair on each side, papers all over the desk and some on floor.
Mr. Franceschi sat down and started his computer.
"Sit down. So uhm, since you haven't taken part in the class that much there's lots if things you have missed." Autumn sat down and listened to him.
"Yeah?"
"So you have to do different exercises to show me you know this stuff. Even if you don't." He smiled, which made Autumn smile. "You have a nice smile" he said and left his eyes on her.
"So do you" Autumn said and kept smiling. What am I doing?
She got up and went around the desk to her teachers side. He had her information from the school open on his computer.
"So, what kind of exercises is it that I need to do, Mr. Franceschi?"
The teacher turned to face her, he got a bit surprised by how close she was standing.
"Oh god it's after school. Just call me Josh"
Autumn laughed
"Fine, Josh. what do I have to do? Dance to some A day to remember? Swim to the beat of bring me the horizon?"
