Teacher

Chapter 27

Brandons POV

 I honestly couldn't tell you why I said Carter's name. Now I have to convinced my mom and the principal that he is my boyfriend. And believe me, I'm not thrilled about it.

"So, is he the one you've been spending the night with?" My mom asks. I can feel the tension rating off of her.

"No mom. I've been over at Jackson's house," I lied because if I had said that I had been at a guy's house she probably wouldn't let me go over there anymore. That would be awful because that is the only alone time Nick and I get.

"Okay. Well I'm going to call Carter in here and we are going to have a chat with the two of you," the principle says. I can see the look on Nick's face now as he hears that Carter is getting called down too. I can already see the fear in his eyes.

"You two go out in the hall and you can talk for 5 minutes and then we are going to have a collective talk," my mom says pointing me and Carter towards the door.

"Brandon, what the hell is going on?" Carter says folding his arms over his chest. I can tell he really wants an answer, but I honestly don't want to tell him.

"They're upset because I got a hickey and it caused a huge Ruckus. They asked who gave it to me and I said you," I said trying to put on my sweetest face possible so he wouldn't be upset.

"Why did you say me? Why couldn't you actually tell who gave it to you? On that thought, Who gave it to you?" He said. His expression grew more and more Curious with each question.

"I said you because I can't tell anyone who I got it from. I can't tell you Carter. I said you only because I thought maybe you could be my fake boyfriend," I say with a gleam of hope in my eyes. I know Carter will do it because I basically have him whipped, but in a friend way.

"No," he says trying to walk towards the principal's door to go back in and call this whole thing off. But I grabbed him and pulled him back over to me.

"Why Carter? Why can't you help me?" I say. I'm now beginning to not fully understand our friendship.

"I will do it. If you tell me who gave you the hickey to you," he says looking at me straight in the eyes.

"We don't have time right now. I promise to tell you later. Just please do this for me," I said grabbing his hand. He mumbled something along the lines of fine. I grabbed him by the hand and hugged him, thanking for saving me.

After a long conversation with my mom and the principal, we both got sent back for class. When I walked in the room, I let out of breath I didn't know I was holding. I sucked it back in when I saw how scared Nick looked. I mouthed to him that it was okay and he seemed to relax a little.

The bell rings and everyone scurries to their next class. But I stayed back to tell Nick that I will explain everything in our 'after school session'.

"Why did Carter get called down there with you Brandon?"

"I will explain everything this afternoon. It is all okay. We are going to get out of this," I say wrapping my arms around his neck. He then puts his hand on my waist. I feel him dig his face into my neck and we just stand there for a minute. Then we pull away and give each other a short kiss.

"I love you," Nick Whispers in my ear.

"I love you too," I whisper back into his ear.

I tell him goodbye and grab my bookbag. I then walked out of the room. And their stood Carter, watching it all in shock. My stomach drops to the floor because of how scared I am. I am sure my face was white. Judging by Carter's expression, he wasn't thrilled...
