The Mafia's Teacher

CHAPTER 6

*Stacey's POV*

"Keo...Keo...KEO!"

"Huh?" He looked up, bewildered.

"What's the matter k? Why are you so out of it?" I asked.

"I'm just thinking, about the future. Am I ever going to find someone spitfire, or am I just going to grow old listening to one direction??"

I let out a little laugh. "Of course you are going to meet someone Keo. You are a wonderful guy, and some man out there is finally going to be able to see what I've been seeing for years!"

"Thankyou Stacey, it means a lot" He gave me a weak smile.

"While we are talking about meeting someone-"

"WHAT, WHEN, WHO, WHERE, WHY STACEY?!?"

"Calm down K! It's just a couple of days ago, at parents evening, I met Daisy's Dad. Nothing happened, and truth be told he wasn't actually that nice, well not to me at least. But the attraction was there."

"Stacey, do you know what Mr Balzano does for a living?"

"No?"

"Exactly, no one does. He just manages to have a really expensive cars and fancy suits. Some say he is in some dodgy business like drug dealing or gambling. I think it's probably best if you stay away from that walking piece of art"

"Yeah you are probably right, thanks Keo."

After lunchtime, I went back to my classroom to start the afternoon lessons. Daisy came  in holding the hand of her new best friend, Avi. They both were really close at this point and it was nice to see Daisy have some friends.

"Hello Miss Bloom!" They both said in unison.

Creepy..."hello girls! Did you have a nice lunch"

"Yeah!!!! Liam showed us his sixth toe!"

Ok this conversation is getting weirder by the second- "that's...lovely? Now come in and sit down"

"Miss Bloom, what's your family like?"

Taken back by the sudden and odd question, I took some time to reply.

"Miss Bloom?"

"Oh right yes, my family. Well, my parents have crossed the rainbow bridge, and I have no siblings." I tried to sugar coat my answer the best I could.

Daisy was the first to speak, " I'm sorry M-Miss"

"It's ok Daisy! I'm glad you are curios, now let's get on with the lesson."

Narrowly avoided that one! Truth be told, it was still really weird talking about it. I still feel so guilty. So guilty.
