The special Teacher: Chapter 8

Chapter 8: problem

          Sauli scrambled across the floor looking for his clothes. He jerked them on as quickly as possible. “I don’t know!”

          “We can’t just let her stand there. How does she even know where I live and that you’re here?” Adam said.

          “I’m not sure, but I have a feeling that Bryce has something to do with it!” Sauli pulled his shirt on.

          They heard Sauli’s mother knock again. Adam hurried and pulled on his boxers and pants.

          “Sauli, are you in there?” His mother yelled.

          Sauli looked at Mr. Lambert and just plopped down on the couch. “I don’t know what to do!”

          “Me either… but obviously she’s not going to leave. I guess let’s just open the door and see what awaits us. There’s nothing else we can do.” Adam said in a serious tone of voice.

          “Ok.” Sauli replied.

          Adam walked over to his front door, still shirtless, and opened it slowly. He met the gaze of Saili’s mom, and it wasn’t a pleasant one. “Hello?”

          “Where is Sauli and why is he here?” The woman asked.

          Sauli stepped in front of Adam and came face to face with his mother. “I’m here because I want to be here. You can’t stop me, I’m 18, the legal age, meaning you can no longer tell me where I can and can’t go.”

          Sauli’s mom looked at him with astonishment. She was speechless. “Sauli koskinen! Don’t talk to me like that!”

          “What are you doing here?” Sauli asked.

          Adam backed up a little bit and watched.

          “I found out from one of your friends from school that you have been kissing a teacher. He told me where you were at.” She said.

          “He is NOT my friend, mother! He is just a bully!” Sauli said back loudly.

          “And you, what do you think you’re doing messing around with a student? Do you know how much trouble you will be in when the school officials and police find out?” Sauli’s mom bantered on, staring straight at Mr. Lambert.

          “I’ve thought about the consequences and I say it’s worth it. I’ve never met anyone quite like Sauli.” Mr. Lambert said back calmly.

          Sauli didn’t know how Adam was staying calm in this situation.

          “What’s that supposed to mean? Sauli, are you dating this man? A teacher?” His mom asked.

          “Why would it matter to you if I was?” Sauli asked back.

          “You are, aren’t you? Is he forcing you to be with him? Are you ‘dating’ him to get good grades? I thought you knew better than this.” Sauli’s mom ranted.

          “Fine, I am dating him, I love him. I’m not with him for the grades and he’s not forcing me. I’m doing this willingly because I love him.” Sauli replied.

          “Get your ass out of this house and back home. Where’s your car at?”

          “No. I want to stay.”
