Mr. Dolan

2

Once I got home I got out of my car, locked it and walked inside. "Mom, I'm home." I said putting my keys on the hook. "Finally. I need you to pick up Jess vollyball practice." She said as I was walking into the kitchen. Yay more driving. "Ok at school?" I asked. "Yes. Now go or you'll be late."

Jess, short of Jessa, is my little sister. She's a freshman and I can't not tell you how many times we get told we look alike. My eyes are more of a greenish and hers are kinda blues grey. And her hair is a little darker. I guess besides all that we do but we always deny it.

I grabbed my keys and got back in my car. I drove to the school and parked in the parking lot. I got out and walked to the gym.

I sat in the bleachers and waited for them to finish practice. I looked around and there were a few people. I turned to look behind me and I saw...Grayson?

He was walking to me. "Hi." "Hi." Are we just gonna act like we didn't kiss?! "Your daughter out there?" He asked.

Dude!? He knows I'm a High school student! "No, my sister." This is weird... "My bad. My sister Cameron is the coach." He explained. "Ok so are we just gonna act like nothing happened?" I said. "What? I don't know what you're talking about?" He said. Well kinda asked.

"Grayson, seriously." I said. "Oh, I'm not Grayson. I'm Ethan, his twin brother." Holy shit! I just accidentally told him. Well didn't tell him what happened but he know something happened. "Oh my Gosh. I am so sorry. This is embarrassing. "So how do you know Grayson, and what happened?"

"Gracey, c'mon!" My sister Jessa called me. "I'm sorry but I've gotta run, ask Grayson. It's not for me to tell." Jess and I walked to my car and drove home.

"Why were you talking to the coach's brother?" She asked. "He's my teachers twin brother." That's all I'm telling her. "I think he's hot." She said smiling. "Whoa, ok. Dude you're like 13." I said turning my eyes back to the road. "Um actually I'm 15." She snapped back. "Oh my Gosh you're such an adult." I looked over at her and she rolled her eyes.

We pulled up to our house, but before she got out I said "Wait." "What?" She answered. "How are you and Taylor?"

Taylor is her boyfriend. He has Brown hair, light Brown eyes and always messes with me when he comes over. I'm not a fan of him. He likes to flirt especially with me. The little boys a football player and thinks he's all that. They've been dating since 8th grade.

"We're good." She lied. "Jess c'mon, you can tell me anything." She looked into my eyes. "I broke up with him." Her eyes started to water. "What happened?" I pulled her into a hug. "He hooked up with Andy." She said looking down."Ooh. He's gay?" I asked confused. "No Andy's a girl." She said. with a small laugh. I smile at her. "Well now she's a very unlucky girl." I say as we get out the car.

I look around not seeing my mom's car. I pull out my phone and call her as me and Jess walk inside. "Hey mom." "Hey honey." "Where'd you go?" "I meant to tell you, guess it slipped my mind. I'm gonna be on a business trip for two weeks and I left about two hundred dollars by the fridge. And don't forget to get Jess to school." " I know mom." I rolled my eyes even though she can't see it. "okay well I have to go, so bye." " Bye."

I hung up and look at Jess. "Its just us I guess." I say and grab the money. "Sounds good." She says opening the fridge. I walked to my room and put the money in a drawer. I took forty out and walked down stairs. "Wanna get pizza?" I ask and her face brightened with a smile. "Okay just let me grab my charger." She ran upstairs.

I sat on the couch and scrolled through Twitter.

I heard Jess walking down the stairs. "You ready?" I asked staring up and sliding my phone in my back pocket. "Yeah c'mon." She responded. We got in the car and I let her play music off my phone and we pulled up to Rotolos. We walked in and ordered and got a table. "Have you ever been here?" I asked Jess. She shook her head.

I caught a glimpse behind her and noticed three familiar people. It was Ethan, Cameron, and Grayson. Grayson, of course, looked over to me. Oh gosh. He sent me a smile and a wink and turned back to his conversation. "Who are you looking at?" Jess asked trying to get pizza out of her braces. "Nobody, it's nothing." We finished eating and paid. We were just about to leave when Jess walked back to our table to grab her phone.

"Coach Cameron!" Great. "Gracey, this is my coach." She shook my hand. "Hi Gracey, I believe we've met before." She said. "Yeah." I nodded. "These are my brothers, Grayson and Ethan." "Hey Gracey, good to see you again." Ethan said shaking my hand. "Hi Gracey, I'm Grayson." Really? He's doing this?! Ethan knows we know. "Gracey." I said shaking his hand.

"Gracey I-" I cut Ethan off. "Well we should going. Nice meeting you." We turned to walk out to my car but Cameron stopped us. "See you tomorrow at practice." "Ok I will." Jess replied.

We walked to my car and turned the radio on. All I could think about was the kiss with Grayson.

*Next Day*

I woke up and slowly walked to my bathroom. After that and brushing my hair and teeth I walked down the hall to Jess's room. She was on her bed wearing a t shirt and shorts and her hair in a messy bun scrolling on her phone. "C'mon Jess, get dressed." I said. "Can I stay home? Please?" Her voice was kinda raspy. "Why?"

I walked closer and sat next to her. "I don't feel good." I placed my hand on her forehead and it was really warm. "Ok you can stay. But I'm gonna come home and check on you at lunch."

I walked back to my room and put on light ripped skinny jeans and a blue California t shirt.

I brushed my hair and curled loosely and flipped it and shook it to make it kinda messy. I pulled in my black and white Adidas.

I walked to the bathroom and put on foundation, concealer, setting powder, filled in my eyebrows a bit, mascara, and a blush nude matte liquid lipstick.

I grabbed my back pack and phone and yelled bye to Jess as I walked out to my car.

*at school*

Not late!!! I walked to my locker where Sophie was waiting for me. "Hey look who's not late." She said laughing. "Don't try me right now, it is too early."

We walked to class we were kindly greeted by Mr. Dolan at the door. "Hi Mr. Dolan." Sophie said batting her fake ass eyelashes. I kicked her leg. "Hi Gracey." He said winking. I smiled at him and continued walking.

Riiiiiiinnnnngggggg

The first period bell ran and more people walked in. "Ok everyone, so we are gonna be doing a book project. You'll be with a partner and make a poster telling about a novel. I'll have the choices posted on the board." He rambled on about the book project.

I looked around the room and Sophie was calling my name. "Wanna be my partner? She asked. "If he let's us." I shrugged my shoulders. To be honest I don't want to but not to sound bitchy and stuck up I am kinda popular so I'll find someone.

After class went by Grayson stopped me as I was walking out. "Yes Mr. Dolan?" I asked acting like we didn't kiss yesterday. "Ok, look I'm really sorry about yesterday but I have to admit, i don't regret it. I know I felt something." He said after he shut the door. "Grayson, I felt it too. But I don't know about this." I said shaking my head. "Come see me at lunch please? I'll show you." He winked as he opened the door to let me out

*lunch*

I walked to Mr. Dolan's classroom one the lunch bell rang. "Mr. Dolan?" I said walking in while knocking on the door. "I'm right here." He called from is desk. "Ok. So we need to talk." I sat on the desk in front of his. "When we kissed, it was wrong but it felt right. Even though it can't happen it felt special." He walked closer to me. "Can we try it again?" I slowly nodded as we both leaned in.

He was right. I did feel something. Was this a bad thing? Falling for my English teacher?
