Jemma's Pov:

When we got back from our morning run Skip had breakfast waiting for us.

"So Skip what's the occasion? You never cook. Are you dying?" Michael joked.

"Oh ha ha. Actually I am dying....from happiness!! Congrats on finally dropping the L bomb guys!!" He leaned over the table and pulled us into a group hug.

"You guys were loud last night. I got a little worried when Mike said break up, but Jems jumped in and saved the day!" He ruffled my hair then grimaced and wiped the sweat on his pants.

I shrugged it off cause hello he knew we just worked out, it's his own fault he touched my sweaty nappy hair.

"If y'all are that loud just talking I can just imagine how loud your sex is. If y'all wanna get frisky while I'm here just give me a heads up so I can go outside or maybe a town over so I don't hear!" He laughs at his own joke.

"So what are your plans for today bro?" Michael asks steering the subject away from sex.

"I'm gonna go for a jog, maybe go see an early movie then go bug Notta at lunch. Then I thought maybe I'd hang with you and watch you do your part to mold the young minds of our future leaders."

Michael shrugged his shoulder. "Okay but no hitting on my students! I mean it. No Crazy comments or jokes about me in class. " Michael looks at him pointedly "And No calling Jems muffin butt!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was standing at my locker admiring my wrapping job. I did a kick ass job considering I did it in my car. Someone jumped on me. 

WTH. The wrapped picture frame flew out of my hands from the force. Luckily it landed in my locker instead of the floor. So it didn't break.

I turned to the culprit.

"Dammit Tina, a little warning next time babe!"

"Sorry doll. Hey what's that?" She asked pointing to the gift.

I smiled "Oh, that's just something for Michael. So what's up my sister from another mister?"

"Nothing, just the usual. Dude 1st period is gonna totally blow without you. Who am I gonna screw up the cakes with? What elective did you end up switching to?" She whined and pouted causing me to laugh. I love my drama queen!

"Oh I'm gonna be Mr Jenkins aid" I said happily

"Wow... You got him a lot. Hmm I hope your Michael doesn't get jealous that you're spending so much time with your hot young teacher." She said wiggling her eyebrows.

"Trust me, he's not jealous." I laughed.

The bell rang and I shoved Michael's gift into my backpack. I'll give it to him after class.

I walked in "Good morning Jemma" Michael said in his teachers tone

"Good morning Sir. Where do you want me?"

I meant where should I sit since I was his aid this period but the words made me think back to our conversation about the wall.... I felt my cheeks burn. 

I looked down to hide my blush. Bad Jemma. No naughty thoughts in class!

"I had an extra chair brought to my desk. You'll be sitting there with me." Michael said with a knowing grin.

The class passed with him lecturing and giving examples to the students. I played on his computer and organized his desk.

The bell rang and I watched everyone leave. I pulled his gift out of my bag and handed it to him.

"What's this, Love? You don't need to get me anything. Save your money sweetheart" He said looking at it weirdly.

I huffed "Just open the damn thing Michael. I want to see if you like it before I go to next period."

He carefully unwrapped it and looked at the framed picture of us. He smiled and pulled me to him for a quick kiss.

"I love it baby! It's perfect. I can actually keep it on my desk. That way when someone asks about my girl. I can point to it and say yep that's the woman I love! Thank you Sweetheart."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We were standing by our table fixing to sit when I felt the ground beneath my feet fall. I yelped which made Tina and Robby Pop hoot! Skip had snuck up behind me, threw me over his shoulder and was spinning me around.

"Skip put me down right flippin now before I kick you in the balls" I screamed! 

He set me on my feet but my world was still spinning so I held onto him.

"See I knew making you breakfast this morning would win you over. Ya just cant resist me now can you muffin butt!" He smirked as everyone around us oohed and awed.

I laughed at his stupid joke. "Just wait till I tell Mike you called me muffin butt again" I threatened smiling when I pictured Michael popping him across the back of the head

"Awe come on Notta I was just playin!" He whined.

"Fine but you better be a good boy for the rest of lunch or I'm gonna sick him on you!" I laughed at his fake crazy scared look.

I spent the rest of lunch joking and playing around with him and my two bestest. 

I think he likes Tina. Nahhh they would be cute together.

He leaned over and was whispering in my ear. "So did Mike say anything about Tina knowing? Cause ya know she's kinda cute and seems sorta interested. If I ask her out and she doesn't know it'll get compli-" His voice was cut off by a loud slamming sound.

We looked up and there stood a furious Mrs. Green. 

Seriously now that I'm not in her class she's gonna go out of her way to fuck with me at lunch. 

Bitch! 

The lunch room had gone silent. Great this'll probably end up as another youtube video.

 Game on!

I smiled sweetly at her. "Hello Mrs. Green, Can I help you with something?"

She snarled "You got me fired you little bitch!! Because of you the school board is having a meeting to determine if they should revoke my teaching license!"

I stood up slowly so she wasn't towering over me. Level the playing field so to speak.

"I'm sorry to hear that. However, your own actions brought that about. I'm blameless as you can see by the lack of repercussions on my end. If that's all, then maybe you should begin to clear your desk out." 

I calmly sat back down.

She leaned over the table and looked scornfully at Skip.

"If I were you, I'd run from this little slut. I guarantee you're not the only boy she's spreading her-"

Skip jumped up and got in her face "I suggest you shut the fuck up. I'm not Jemma. I wont sit here and calmly listen to you talk shit about my-" She laughed at him.

Hello cant she see how pissed he is? I mean I know he isn't the type of man to hit a woman but... I mean Fuck... he looks scary!

"Oh that's sweet, really cute that she has you pussy whipped and blinded to her slutty-"

"THAT IS QUITE ENOUGH BETTY! I WILL NOT TOLERATE YOU TALKING TO JEMMA LIKE THAT ANY FURTHER. SECURITY IS HERE TO ESCORT YOU OUT. I SINCERELY HOPE THEY REVOKE YOUR LICENCE AND WILL MAKE DAMN SURE THEY DO!!!!" Michael thundered at her.

When the hell did he get here? 

I cant believe it's possible but he looked even scarier then Skip. Maybe they learned that in the army. Like part of boot camp or something?

Two of the schools security guards stepped forward but she ducked around them. That bitch is pretty quick for being 45.

She leaned down so we were eye level. "You may have everyone else fooled into thinking you're something special but I KNOW you're nothing but a cheap whore and I will make you regret what you did!!!" 

The guards yanked her back. She continued to scream insults at me as they led her out. 

That woman has some serious mental issues!

"Show's over kids!! Get to class!" Michael yelled out to the cafeteria.

I sat there stunned. 

I'm not hurt or upset. 

Hell I'm used to hearing that stuff from Terri so it didn't hurt. Just stunned me. 

Here I am, a virgin still, but supposedly a slut? I mean of course I'm not totally innocent but I only messed around with Drake and that was because we were together over two years and still nobody but Tina knows exactly what happened between us.

 WTH

I feel a hand on my shoulder and look up. Michael's standing there with a look of concern. He caresses my cheek and asks "Are you ok Love?'

I leaned into his hand and managed a small smile "I'm okay Michael, I just don't understand why she thinks any of that. I mean the whole cafeteria heard what she said."

Everyone at lunch.... 

Shit ....

 My head darts up and quickly looks around. Oh thank you baby Jesus no one is in here.

I pull away from Michael. "Come on Sex nip. No doubt the class is going crazy without you."

I can totally picture everyone acting like unruly 3 year olds.

"Nah they'll be good. I have Skip watching over them"

I face palmed and grabbed his hand to pull him faster "Hello.... Have you been sniffing permanent marker or something? You left Skip in charge!! It'll be total mayhem!!"

He laughed. "No baby, he only acts like that around us. He lets his hair down and can pretend to be a kid again around us. It helps him forget everything and decompress, to goof around with me and as he's dubbed you 'His baby sister' He's very protective of you. He even threatened to kick my ass if I didn't treat you right! " he laughed and let go of my hand as we stepped into the class.

"Jemma you can sit at my desk if you're not feeling up to participating in class" he said in his teacher tone.

"No I'm fine thanks Mr. Jenkins." I turned and went to my regular seat.

After his lecture he gave us some free time. Skip came and planted his ass on my desk top . He kissed the top of my head and asked how his favorite girl was.

"I'm good. Really."

He nodded and searched my eyes "Okay, I'll go talk to Mr Jenkins then. I'm sure you and Tina have girl talk to chatter about. You know like how hot I am and all that" He sent a dazzling smile to Tina and hopped off.

Tina looked at me and waited.

"What?" I asked completely confused

"Oh nothing, just have some questions for you. That's all."

She had a look I've seen way too often. It's the one that means I'm in for it.

"Oooookay shoot." I reply hesitantly.

"Are you cheating on your Michael with Skip?" She demanded.

I out right laughed at that "Hell no! He's like a brother"

She smiled "Yeah I didn't think you were. To someone from a distance it looks like you two are together, but if you're actually around y'all it's obviously brotherly-sisterly love. What does your Michael think about you and Skip being so close?"

I laughed again "He's completely fine with it. Because they're like family. He likes that Skip is protective of me."

I shake my head, of course their like family. They're brothers for Cheetos sakes!

"Okay now I have a few questions I'm going to ask you. I don't want the answers now. I want you to talk it over with your Michael. Then I want the truth!" She said with the most serious expression I've ever seen her have.

"Okay...."

" When am I going to meet Michael? When am I going to see your house? How does Skip know Mr Jenkins? Lastly, why are you so scared to tell me Mr. Jenkins is your Michael? You should know you could trust me with anything."

Before I could say anything she got up and walked out just seconds before the bell rang.

 Skip and Michael looked at me curiously and both walked over to me. "What happened to my future girlfriend? She looked upset." Skip said.

I turned to him "Skip can you give us a few minutes"

He nodded and walked out. I turned back to Michael.

"You never answered me last night. Tina knows and is hurt that I've been keeping it from her. She's one of the most important people in my life Michael and-" I could feel the tears slip past my eyes. Michael pulled me into a hug and kissed my cheeks

"I'm so sorry Jems. After you said I love you I completely forgot about it. Look we'll work it out with her. How about we invite her over for dinner tonight and explain everything?" He gave me a slow kiss then rested his forehead on mine. "I love you so much Jemma."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was waiting at my locker for Tina. School was just released and we had rehearsal for the Majors. I saw her coming up and ran to her. I grabbed her arm and stopped her. "I talked to Michael and he wants to know if you wanna come home with me. He's gonna cook dinner and we can all talk about everything."

She looked at me for a few seconds then smiled and threw her arms around me. "I hate being mad at you! Let's get rehearsals done so I can talk to your Michael!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I followed Tina to her house to drop off her car and waited as she made her way to me. 15 minutes later I was about to put my key in to unlock the door when it swung open revealing Skip.

He puts a finger to his lips to signal for us to be quiet. "Watch this" He whispered to us. "Mike, when is muffin butt supposed to come home with her hot friend?" He called over his shoulder

"Dude I told you not to call Jems that! Keep that shit up and you'll be sleeping in your car tonight!" Michael called back from the other room.

Skip just laughed and rolled his eyes then looked at Tina "Excuse my brother's bad manors. I think it's his time of the month! Or maybe his tampon just shifted!"

I thumped his head. "Where is he?" I whispered, Skip started snickering so hard he had to hold onto the door frame "He's changing!" more laughs

"And that's funny how? I swear sometimes you're so weird" I walked in passed him pulling Tina with me.

"It's not funny. It's fuckin hilarious!! He's acting like a chick on her first date! I swear every pair of jeans he has are thrown on the floor and he's tried on like 20 shirts!" Louder laughing "Like a mini tornado dropped from the sky just to hit y'all's closet! Watch this!"

He raises his voice loud enough for Michael to hear "Hey Mike you know you look kinda ugly in those pants.......maybe you can borrow one of muffin butt's skirts to cover up your giant vagina!!" He starts laughing and I slap a hand over my mouth while Tina buries her face into Skip's back to muffle her laughter.

"Dude stop dicking around! Jems is gonna be here soon and this is important to her and I'm not gonna tell you again to stop fucking calling her muffin butt. Next time you do I'm gonna call mom and telling her you're here hiding like a scared little bitch!" He yelled.

There was a thump then a muffled curse. "Dude you're not gonna call mom cause then she'd come here! Chill out, you're gonna give yourself a heart attack! Gahh Jems has your ass so whipped. I'm gonna start calling you my sister since you obviously left your balls in her purse!!" Skip teased relentlessly.

"Fuck off Skip! It's not whipped it's love asstard! She can keep my balls too! As long as I have her I'm happy!" he walked out of our room and blushed. 

Awe he's so sweet!

I walked over to him and lightly kissed his lips "Hey Sex-Nip"

"Hey, Love. How long have y'all been here?" he asked wrapping his arms around me. He shot a mean look to Skip.

"Cool your hemorrhoids dude they just got here" Skip said smiling and completely unrepentant.

"Hi Mr. Jenkins! Nice to finally see Jemma's Michael" Tina said sitting down.

"Right you probably want to know the whole story" He started.

"Not really, I already got most of it from Jems. Except that you were our teacher. Even that, I've known for a while." She said shrugging.

"I did want to tell you Tina. I just didn't want you freaking out. How did you figure it out?" I had been wondering about that.

"Well you move in. His girlfriend moves in. You have hickey. He was extra happy. You go out of town. He takes his girlfriend out of town. You blush around him. He looks at you like a starving man does cake. You have a present for your Michael. He gets a new picture frame. Matching wrapping paper in the trash and the dress in the picture is one I bought for you. He flips and screams at Mrs Green when she acts like a bitch to you. But what really clenched it for me was back when y'all sang your songs to each other."

I started freaking out. Was it that obvious! Oh no. He'll lose his job. I don't want him getting in trouble just for me. I can feel the tears coming.

"Michael we can't do this anymore. We have to break up"
