Being A Cooper

Chapter 6: Am I Dreaming?

“He said what to you?”

“Wow, so do you think he’s gay”

“Is he even allowed to say that, he is a counselor?”

“Fag, flat out, ain’t no way a man would say something like that.”

“Your just a student, and young at that, hate to say it but your counselor is gay and he wants you.”

“I don’t know guys, he just came out and said that and that put me on edge, like I was pissed and confused and I really wanted him to fuck off. I knew shit was going to go wrong, and I have to go back tomorrow.” I told the guys.

“Well are you going to report him?” Darion said.

“I could but he could also report the shit I said.”

“Damn man, shit just sucks.” Darryl said.

“I know, I have no choice but to continue with this shit and try and be done with it, I’ll ask him if he is tomorrow though.”

“Cool bro definitely and its not like your gay or some shit, you got Rachael so when you go into it tomorrow let him know that shit.” Jordan said.

*It’s not like your gay or something* that thought just kept playing in my mind. Between the dreams I’ve been having and what Mr. Patricks said to me, I wasn’t able to tell. I don’t think I could even go back to counseling. So many things running through my mind at once. I don’t even think I can sleep. Whatever dude I’m done, but tomorrow some shit is going to get said.

Just after I get done having a group chat with the guys, Rachael texts me and she said to meet her early tomorrow before school starts. I texted her back and said ok, she texted back and said I love you. The words I needed to hear from my girl, my lover, my bestfriend, the one I want to share the rest of my life with. I sent her back an I love you too message. Next, I fell asleep.

*In Anthony’s Dream*

Don’t you love me….. Anthony. You said we were going to be together forever.

I do, I do love you more than anything, I’ve loved you for the longest time. When we both get ready to graduate, I will be right there next to you holding your hand, because you are the one I love with all my heart.

Rachael…..

Well if you love me that much then why do I have pictures of you kissing some other guy…….

*Beep Beep Beep*

Damn alarm, I need to get a new clock. I forgot I set it up this early. I guess I better get ready.

Just then I received a text from Rachael saying Let me know when your there. I told her okay. The dream I had last night was a weird one in fact. I can barely recall it, all I remember is that Rachael was in it.

I got up, took a shower and ate something. My uncles door was open and all I saw was him and actually the receptionist from the office from school. How he got her home I will never know, but if I see her that’s all I’m going to see, her butt ass naked. But let me just focus on one thing at a time. What my girlfriend wants, and counseling.

I finally got there and she was standing outside. It was a little bit foggy, but I could still see her.

“Hey baby, how are you” I told her as I was going in for a kiss.

“Hey, sorry to get you up early, I know you like your sleep but I really needed to talk to you.” She said as she kissed me back.

“I understand, but wassup”

“Don’t you love me?”

I could tell where this was going, it sounded just like my dream, and I recalled the last of it, photos of me kissing some guy, but I never kissed a guy so what the hell.

“Yeah of course I do, with all my heart.”

“Okay. Then why do I have photos of you kissing some dude?”

I just blanked out, I couldn’t even look at her, I had to ask her exactly what she said again just be clear of what I just heard.

“What did you just say?”

“I said why did you get angry when we were in my basement the other day and I told you to stop?”

Oh thank God I’m glad I heard her right. “My bad, it was just the stress and I wasn’t thinking at all.”

“Okay I just wanted to let you know that I wasn’t ready for that yet, not for a while, until I feel ready. I want our first time to be special and have some meaning into it.”

“I understand babe, and I’m sorry for being an ass, it’s just that with the whole counseling and uncle and everything it’s just weighing on me. I do love you and I do respect you I was just pissed that you kicked me out.”

“I know and I’m sorry about that. I just want us to be good and happy.”

“I do too. I love you.” I told her.

“I love you too.” She told me.

After that we just continued through our entire day and we held hands and fed each other and laughed and enjoyed our day. It was really good. The day was finally over and I went to counseling and she went home. She kissed me and the guys all told me, Don’t forget. How could I.

I went towards the classroom with a mean expression on my face.

“I’m here for our session.”

“I was beginning to think you wouldn’t show up, but I’m glad you decided to come back.”

“Look we got off on the wrong start, I just think this thing is stupid.”

“I understand, I also wanted to apologize for what I said, but it’s a method of mine I use to get closer to the students, your not the first to say those things to me.”

“Alright cool, but I have a question for you.”

“If it is to ask if I am gay or not, I am not, I actually have a girlfriend in a medical program right now.”

Thank God, now I don’t have to ask him.

“Yeah that was it. Thank you.”

“Now lets’ get this session underway, and we can start with you telling me some things about your family and friends.”

“Where would you want to start?”

“I’d like to start with your parents.”

*In Deans’ mind*

I know I just lied to him about the whole girlfriend thing, but if anybody found out that I was a gay teacher then my career would be over. I went through college fine but now it just has to be hidden. Anthony is an amazing kid, but it will be hard once his friend has some things to say to him. But for now let’s just focus on his problems in his life.
