Chapter 2: You Can't Flirt With Me

It was two weeks into the new school year. It was a Friday morning the first football game of the season. Kingston had been trying to get Bucky's attention for two weeks now.

She made a point of sitting right up in the front row with her friend Kaycee beside her. She makes bedroom eyes at him with her hazel eyes. Bucky just ignores her when ever she tries to be flirty.

On her way to school she got a Starbucks coffee with Kaycee by her side. She told her dad to pick her up so they could walk in together. He dropped the two cheerleaders off at the high school.

They made their way down the hall. Cat calls and compliments were tossed around. Bucky was standing at the rail on the second level that over looked the first floor hall.

"You have got to be kidding me?" He whispered.

"What is it?" Sam said as he drank his coffee.

"See that little brunette with the blonde cheerleader. She is in my 4th period sophomore history class. And loves to give me bedroom eyes and flirty looks. Especially when I'm giving a lecuture. I just ignore her now I have a feeling she is going to work extra hard today since she is a cheerleader." Bucky said

"Well you have always had the nick name ladies man." Sam said

"Sam.." he said

"I know Im sorry. Just keep doing what you are doing. Eventually she will get the point. Im surprised that she is doing it though. You have a ring on.." Sam said

"I know.." he said as they walked to their classrooms.

Bucky and Sam weren't the only alumnis at their old highschool. The cheer coach and foreign language teacher was Natasha Romanoff. The dance coach and science teacher was Wanda Maximoff-Barton. Pepper Potts-Stark was a Economics teacher. Tony Stark was now one of the mathematics teacher.

Sam was a assistant football coach to Bucky another history teacher. Clint Barton was another assistant football coach and he taught Gym.  There was also Sam's wife and old high school sweetheart Valerie Wilson who taught in the English department.

The only one of their friends that didn't go on to get teaching degrees was Steve. He and Natasha were engaged after high school but he joined the military. But after two tours he met his end over seas before they could finally tie the knot.

When 4th period rolled around she walked into the class with her head held high. She tried all class to get his attention but he wasnt having it. After class he came over to her desk as she was putting her stuff away.

"Ms Cooper.." he said

She looked up. "Yes Mr Barnes.." she said as she gulped at how gorgeous his ocean blue eyes were.

"Stop with the flirting the bedroom eyes. I am married and a teacher here and a coach. I worked damn hard to get my degree and I will be damn if I let some 16 year old girl who has a crush on her teacher take it from me. You wont win this game sweetheart so stop." He said as he let go of her desk.

She swallowed hard then looked down. She walked out wiping tears Kaycee stopped her. "Hey what happened?" She whispered.

"Um its nothing." She said

She and Kaycee went to get something to eat before the game. After they won their game and it was over. She saw a red head with a toddler on her hip walk up to Bucky.

They shared a kiss then he took the little girl. Kingston started to slam everything into her bag. Bucky could tell she was pissed when he seen her.

Monday morning rolled around he was in the front office where the teachers had mail boxes. He saw the drop slip he went into to Maria's office.

"Hey Maria.." he said

"Oh hey James." She said

"Why was this in my box?" He said

"Oh Ms Cooper wanted to drop the class. But she couldnt give me a valid reason other than she didnt want to be in the class. So I didnt approve it but wanted to see if you had any idea?" Maria said

"No..she is a great student and has been passing the class." He said

"Well thats what I told her. If you were having a problem with her lack of classroom behavior or she was failing I know you would have told me by now" Maria said

"Of course." Bucky said

"Great..so thats all I wanted to know." Maria said

Bucky left her office and went to the football office. "Why me God..why..is this karma for all the times I fucked around in highschool." He whispered to himself.

Sam knocked on the door. Bucky looked at him. "Morning.." Sam said

"Morning.." he said

"Everything okay?" Sam said

"Yeah everything is great. Just that freaking girl tried to drop my class cause I basically told her stop flirting with me." He said as he opened his biscuit from Mcdonalds.

"Wow.." Sam said as he sat down in one of the chairs and drank his coffee.

That afternoon it was raining Bucky had the boys doing their drills on the second level of the gym. The girls were doing cheer and dance practice.

The football players started to do their usual whistles and cat calling. They were yelling out names Bucky finally blew the whistle.

"Boys thats enough. We dont do that they are not a piece of meat or property got it. Go run more laps." He said

Sam shook his head. Bucky had changed since high school. Bucky was one of those football players he always had three different girlfriends at the same time. But that all changed when he met his now wife a kindergarten teacher Sydney Thomas-Barnes. They have been together a total of 4 years and married for two.

They have a two year old daughter named Saylor Layne. He saw Kingston as she was leaving. Sam said "how was class today?"

"She definitely wasnt her normal flirtatious self. She sat in the very back of the room and never once looked up in my direction." He said

"Wow..man she must not be use to being told no." Sam said

"Yeah and I pulled up her file. She has got some balls. Her daddy is Thomas Cooper the fucking district attorney." He said

Sam's mouth fell open. "Whoa talk about some major balls." He said as they took the boys back out on the field to run some plays.
