I'm in my last year at school and yes it's the sixth week of the start of year. The re is a new teacher and yes I kinda like him but.... yeah. Mr De Jesus. I go get ready and curl my hair a little and light make up. I go down for breakfast and see mom and dad talking. "Honey..... we want to talk to you about dating teachers, we know you will never do it! We want to be careful though. So stay away from young teachers" said mom. "OK mom" said Bella.
I leave to school. I grab my books from my locker and run to History. I go in and see Mr De Jesus sitting. "Hi Isabella" smiled Mr De Jesus. "Hi sir" smiled Bella. I sit down and smile to the table. I like him but I can't him cause of his my teacher, and my parents will me. I just sigh and watch him teach the class, I am kinda failing this class, I always have.
"Isabella stay behind after class" said Mr De Jesus. I nod. When the bell goes I walk up to him. "Your failing my class and I looked at your past grades and seen you failed as well, so I am going to tutor you, after school" said De Jesus. I nod and go to my next class. I walk in and sit down. I sigh and just doodle on my page.
AFTER SCHOOL.
I walk into his class. "Bella just sit down" smiled Mr De Jesus. "OK sir" smiled Bella. I sit down. "Call me Zabdiel when we're alone" said Zabdiel. I just nod. We get started and by the end we're finsihed but we're laughing and joking around. "OK so your 20 and a teacher" said Bella. "Yeah, lets say I was a very smart person" smiled Zabdiel. "I bet you were" smiled Bella.
"Hey come to my house for dinner?" asked Zabdiel. I nod, and we go to his house, (sneakily). We go in and we sit and he gets up to make dinner. My phone dings.
From mom
Hey where are you?
To mom
I'm at a friends house for dinner, you wouldn't know them, they just moved to my school today.
From mom
OK be safe and careful and I have heard from other parents a teacher who is 20 is there! Mr Zabdiel De Jesus! I mean who lets a 20 year old teach!
To mom
OK bye
"You OK?" asked Zabdiel. "Yeah, my mom has a problem with you teaching" said Bella. "Oh really?" asked Zabdiel. "Yup. Ah well.Wow this looks amazing!" said Bella. Zabdiel made a Puerto Rice national dish, Arroz con gandules y lechón – Yellow rice and pigeon peas with roasted pork is the national dish.
I take a bite and moan. "Oh my god this is amazing. So why move to LA?" asked Bella. "Well I needed a job and I wanted to move to LA. And I do love my countries food." said Zabdiel. "That's so cool" smiled Bella. We eat and then soon wash the dishes. We sit back down and just have a laugh. I lean my head on his shoulder and sigh.
"Bella.... I know this is wrong but I like you.... I thought that if I stopped looking at you and talking to you like we did I'd fall out of it but I didn't..... I can't stay away from you. Your parents don't understand, things were rough back then and now I am happy and ever since I met you, I have loved you" said Zabdiel. "I love you too. I missed you talking to me like that. My parents can't stop our love..... I love you and my parents will have to suck it up" smiled Bella. We lean in and kiss. I smile.
"I better get home" smiled Bella. "Yeah...." said Zabdiel. I leave and walk the short distance to my home. I go in. "What took you so long?" asked mom. "We lost track of time. I'm going to bed, I'm tired" said Bella. I go upstairs and take my phone out.
From Zab ;)

I go to bed and fall asleep.

I am sitting beside people and then my name gets called and I go up. Soon it's time for me to go to Zabdiel and bring him to my house. We soon arrive at my house and go in. My parents look at us. "Honey why is your History teacher here?" asked mom. "We're dating" said Bella. "What?" asked mom and dad. "Yes for six months. You can't forbid us because I am 18! I love him! We tried to fight it but we couldn't.... I am not sorry because you always told me love is love, age is just a number. Now please explain to me why I cannot date Zabdiel!" said Bella. "Get out" said mom. My dad stares. "About time. Now relax and Mary, shut up. She is right. She's 18! Now Zabdiel come for a drink.... we will toast on this fine occasion!" smiled dad.
I smile and watch them interact while mom walks out.
In the end we married and my mom was still bitter.
