Jerome's POV

I smiled at Mitch. He was still asleep.

I rubbed his head and got up from the bed.

Slipping on a purple and grey plaid shirt and black jeans. Slipping on a belt and black tie. Then I slipped on shoes and kissed Mitch's forehead. I wrote him a note and laid it on my pillow.

I left and went to get a cup of coffee. Then drove to school.

I walked in and unlocked my door. I sighed and took a sip of my coffee after I blew in it to cool it off.

I sat my bag down and pulled out my laptop. Setting it up. I logged in and someone knocked on the door.

"Come in"I yelled.

The door opened and I looked. My eyes widened but I smiled a little.

"Hey. What's up"?

"Mr.Aceti. Um. We've had some reports of you and Mitchell Hughes being a little close in and out and after school. What have you two been up to?"the principle wondered suspiciously.

I raised an eyebrow. Shit.

"Um. I'm just giving him extra lessons and helping him study. It is his last year sir and I want him to know the most he can learn for the outside world"I lied.

He glared at me and nodded.

"Okay Aceti. But maybe stay away from each for a while. Or stop being with him everyday. I still got my eye on you".

He left and closed the door. I let out a deep breath I didn't even know I was keeping in.

I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed Mitch's number.

I opened the hallway door and walked out. Looking around. Then I closed it and locked it back when I walked back inside.

I sat at my desk and he finally answered.

Mitch- Mm.. hello?

Jerome- Hey baby. I'm sorry. Did I wake you up?

Mitch- Yeah. But it's okay. Where are you anyways?

Jerome- I'm at school getting ready-

Mitch- CRAP! Why didn't you wake me up!?

Jerome- *laughs* Hey it's fine. You can still rest for about an hour before school. Hey listen. The principle came and questioned about us being together so much everywhere all the time. I told him that I'm giving you extra lessons and helping you study. He'll most likely ask you the same thing so you give him the same answer.

Mitch- Yeah. Definitely no problem. Sure. Okay. Did he have any suspicions?

Jerome- Yeah. He still gave me the evil eye. Maybe we just need to lay back for a little while. Maybe you come over my house on weekends and three out of the five days. Have about Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Hm?

Mitch- Yeah sure. Can we still talk and text on the other two though?

Jerome- Of course we can. Hey I gotta go but I'll see you in an hour in class okay?

Mitch- Okay. Love you *kiss*

Jerome- Love you too *kiss*

I hung up and sighed. Laying my phone of the desk. I got the papers ready and leaned back in my chair. Closing my eyes and taking a little nap.

I woke up when the bell rung. I stretched and went to my door. Unlocking it and using the kick stand to keep it open.

I went back to my desk and sat in my chair. Then started googling more work for the next day.

But I got a little off track and was day dreaming. Damn my mind. My cheeks flushed a little and I rubbed my eyes.

"Morni-"

"Ah"!

I jumped in suprrise and looked up. I smiled and laughed silently to myself.

I got up and gave him a hug. Even a little peck on the cheek cause no one was in the room. Then two people came in when I pulled back.

"It is Monday. Since we're going by the chart were forced to go by, you coming over tonight"?

He nodded and smiled at me. Then went to his seat after I gave him the worksheet.

I gave everyone else that came in the same one. Then there was a knock on the open door.

I glanced up and at Mitch and nudged my head. Mitch nodded and got up. Going to the principle at the door and they left.

My heart was racing and I was nervous as hell.

Mitch's POV

He looked at me as we walked down the hall. I was looking at the ground.

My cheeks were softly flushed cause he was starring at me so strongly. I glanced at him.

"You wanted to talk to me"?

He smiled and nodded. Placing a hand on my shoulder. I stopped when he did and we both looked at each other.

"Yes I do Mitch. It seems people are concerned about you and Mr.Aceti being so close together so much in, out and after school"he mumbled.

I raised an eyebrow and took a deep breath in silently. Stay calm.

"So we have stalkers. Or one of us does"I smiled.

He laughed and shook his head ,"Oh no. It's just a little birdie told me they saw you and Mr.Aceti kissing in his room on late day after school. Is this true"?

My eyes widened and my cheeks flushed. I glared at him. But he didn't know I was just playing around.

"What the hell. He's an old man anyways. He's just helping me for the future. Helping me study harder and give me extra lessons on things I don't understand"I snapped.

He looked a little shocked and smiled again. He petted my head. Making my cheeks flush.

I pushed his hand off my head and crossed my arms across my chest. He laughed at that and gave me a pat on the back instead.

"Have a good day Mitchell".

He walked off and I sighed ,"It's Mitch".

I walked back to classroom. I closed the door behind me and sat in my desk.

I looked up and smiled at Mr.Aceti who was looking at me. He smiled back and started with his lesson.

After school, Mr.Aceti just told me to go home so I wouldn't raise suspicion. That he would call or text me later. So, Adam asked me if I wanted to come to his and Ty's house for video games. I happily accepted.

I blew up four guys at once on Call of Duty Black Ops 2 (luv it).

"That's shit!"Adam yelled.

"I win"!

He sat his controller down and Ty grabbed it. Time to kick his ass now I guess.

I started a new game with me, him and 5 robots on each of our teams. I blew up three times in a row with the crossbow before he gave up and handed it to Adam again.

I laughed and my phone vibrated in my pocket. I paused the game and unlocked my phone and looked. It was a message. I smiled.

Jerome.
