It's Normal for a Kid to Love His Teacher
Chapter 3
Just two days after I finally admitted to myself that I do in fact have feelings towards Mr. Way, I bumped into him in the lunch hall. Well, I say bumped into him, I actually mean that I almost walked straight into him, being the dumb shit that I am.
'' O-oh! S-s-sorry! '' I stuttered right after I'd turned the corner into the canteen and been centimeters away from walking straight into Mr. Way.
That wasn't even the worst part. He had a cup of coffee in his hand and it didn't have the lid on, he'd obviously left it off so his drink could cool. And of course when I almost collided with him, he jerked his hand out of the way, and ended up with half of it on the floor and the other half on his skinny jeans, in quite an awkward place at that.
'' Oh fuck, '' he muttered as he looked down at the wet patch on his jeans, which was far too close to his crotch to not look suspicious.
'' Jesus I-I'm so sorry! '' I said, feeling my cheeks heat up. God I'm so fucking careless!
'' It's okay, '' he smiled, '' I just moved my hand too quickly, that's all. I'm glad it spilled onto me rather than you.''
Wait, so he actually prefers it that his jeans are soaked in the most awkward and uncomfortable place, rather than it had been spilled on me.
'' I'm really sorry, Mr. Way, '' I sighed looking at the floor which had the other half of his coffee on.
He just smiled at me and shook his head slightly, before saying, '' nah, it's fine. ''
'' I guess I better clear this up, '' I said, looking to the floor once again.
'' No you go and do whatever you were going to do, I'll speak to one of the dinner staff about it. Besides, it sure looked like you were in a hurry to get there, '' Mr. Way chuckled lightly, and I groaned out loud at how completely stupid I am.
'' Alright, thanks Mr. Way. And again, I'm really sorry! ''
'' It looks like I couldn't get to the bathroom in time, '' he grinned like a little child. Or perhaps it looks like you were too excited and lost in your own thoughts I thought to myself, then internally scolded myself for even thinking of that. I pulled my face into a smile and laughed at Mr. Way's childish joke.
'' Bye, Mr. Way, '' I laughed again and turned, walking away from him.
Of course when I'd turned away my face fell from that smile to a scowl. I wish I wasn't so clumsy all the time. Why of all people in the entire school did it have to be Mr. Way?! Seriously!
I sat down at my usual table, but today I was alone. I scanned the canteen looking for the very few friends that I have, and spotted Oliver in the queue for food. Oliver was one of the most quiet people I ever knew, before I got to know him properly. But when you get friendly and close with him, it's like he's a different person completely. He's loud, and stupid, and likes to joke around a lot.
When he came over with his pizza, he grinned and waved at me, before his face fell slightly and he frowned a little.
'' Aren't you gonna eat something? '' he questioned. I shook my head in response.
'' Nah. Not hungry, '' I said. Oliver sighed at me before beginning to munch on his pizza. He has quite long hair, which is light brown, and it kept on getting on his pizza, which was pretty funny.
'' Oli your hair again, '' I chuckled as he looked down mid-bite to see the ends of his hair getting red pizza sauce on them.
He swallowed the food he had in his mouth before sighing in frustration.
'' Fucks sake, that's the third time! '' he cursed as he started to get the sauce out of his hair with his free hand.
When he'd finished eating, we stood up to go outside. When I turned around I saw Mr. Way at the other end of the canteen, talking to one of the dinner staff. I swear I saw his eyes flick up to look at me, before flicking back to focusing on the woman he was talking to.
'' Dude, why are you blushing? '' a small grin appeared on Oliver's face.
'' I-I'm not! '' I protested, '' just..warm, that's all. ''
