Twisted romances

i hate mumbling...

Tyler had just finished marking some year 8 English essays on Victorian horror when April and 23 other 16 year olds slowly filed in for class. yet again he couldn't stop looking at April who seemed even prettier that the first time they saw each other but he quickly tried to surpress his emotions maybe he would let them resurface later when he had a moment to think about it but for now he had to focus on teaching these people.

He caught April staring at him every time he turned around from writing on the board he was a more active teacher than most of the others who sat around in their chair all day April liked that, he could tell; she didn't even look away when he did catch her if anything her glare became more intense!

The lesson naturally got cut short by the bell and as everyone filed back out he grasped her arm and mumbled something incoherent he then cleared her throat before she could say pardon and he said "April close the door we need to talk..."

He noticed that April was tense and he felt bad so lightened the mood by smiling, she noticed and reciprocated but she was still nervous.

He breathed.

In.

Out.

In.

Out.

"Okay" he began, " I'm not going to mumble...I hate mumbling, I'm going to be straight with you"

He paused trying to think of what to say but he chose the most blunt wording and for an English teacher surely he could have done better than " ok so I've noticed you staring quite a lot and you writing your phone number in your book was funny but, I'm afraid I might fall in love you and that could ruin my career...not that I have one"

April stiffled a laugh and then poured.

" I understand..." she mumbled

"April please I hate mumbling; speak up!" Tyler said in an aggressive deep voice.

April sighed.

"I said FINE you don't like me because I'm 16 right? Don't even tell me, I already know! Do you know what? i don't care..."

She got up but he grabbed her hand and ushered her to sit.

She did

"April I don't care that you're 16 on only 18 this isn't a permanent job, I'm going back to Japan after this and my new job will be far better so please don't tell me you don't care...because I do care and it hurts."

April was in shock.

She asked what his new job would be and to her surprise...

" I have a modelling contract at the ready but they need me to do something intelligent just because they make sure all of their models are intellectual enough to be in the industry"

"Oh...well I didn't know; sorry about telling you I don't care I just didn't want to be hurt."

April and Tyler had almost an entire hours worth of conversation about how they could date when his teaching contract ended which was fortunately only 3 weeks away...

April had cleared it all up finally and left the classroom with a grin.
