Teacher

Chapter 26

Brandon's POV

 Everything that has happened so far this year is flashing before my eyes. What could I have done besides be with Nick? That is the only thing he could want to talk to me about. He knows. Nick is going to go to jail. I will never get to see him. My mom is going to lock me up as if I was in jail. Everything that could go wrong will go wrong if the principal knows about me and Nick.

As I approached her office my heart begins to beat a mile a minute. It isn't beating the way it beats when I'm around Nick, for love. I lift my hand to the doorknob and take one breath and and I don't let it out. For some reason I feel like if I hold my breath I will be safer. On that note, I open the door and walk in.

"Hello there Mr. Szczupaj. Please take a seat," she says. I looked at the other chair and they're sits my mom. She is obviously pissed and that just makes my throat want to close up. They know.

"May I ask what this about," I say as I sit down.

"I think you can tell us," my mom says.  Her voice cracks.  It only cracks when she is upset.

"No, honestly I can't mom.  I really don't why I was called down." I say. I honestly begin to believe myself.I can't say why I think I was brought down here because I know that might not be they're upset with me. And believe me, if I can prevent them from knowing about me and Nick, I sure as hell will lie.

"Don't play dumb Mr. Szczupaj. The whole thing is going around school causing a big Ruckus," the principle says looking me straight in the eyes. It is as if she is trying to dig into my brain and pull my thoughts out of it.

"Can someone please tell me what's going on? I have a paper that is a large part of my grade that I need to be working on," I say now becoming pissed. If you call me to the office it isn't to play a game of guess who. It is to get straight to the fucking point so I can be on my way.

After my Outburst, my mom points to my neck. What is on my neck. What is on my ne- oh. The hickey Nick gave me. Why is everyone talking about that? Is it because no one thought I would ever kissed someone? My chest begins to feel lighter until I am asked the next question.

"Brandon, now tell me who gave this to you before I get even more mad," my mom says. I see a tear fall down her face. She already found out I was gay from the word spreading. I spit out the first name I could think of. And believe me, at this point, I would have rather have said Nick's name. dumbass me said,

"Carter"
