-----------------------------------

Sorry for the long interval between chapters. I wasn't sure which direction to take the story and was debating if I should delete old stories and write a revised edition. I decided to continue with an ending in sight. Thanks for the patience and hopefully the wait is worth it. The remaining chapters should be coming out in somewhat reasonable intervals.

Thanks again!!

-----------------------------------

My heart was beating out of my chest. I didn't know how a heart attack felt, but I thought I was having one. Up until this moment, I felt like I was in control over Ms.Santiago, but with one text, she reasserted her dominance.

After many failed attempts at going to sleep, I eventually did an hour before my alarm went off. I woke up with the worst headache I had ever had. When I headed downstairs for breakfast, my mom asked, "Jesus, Jake! What happened to you? Did you not sleep at all?"

"No. I tried, but I couldn't."

"I think you should stay home today and get some sleep. You look horrible."

The offer was very enticing, but I knew if I blew off Ms.Santiago today, it would come back to bite me in the future. I told my mom, "As much as I would love to, I can't miss today. I think I'll grab an energy drink or two and power through it."

With my pulsing headache, I texted Tyler to ask if he could come pick me up, but he replied that he wouldn't be going to school today. I then texted Zoe, and she said she would pick me up.

As I got in her car, she said, "Damn! I knew you said you weren't feeling well, but you look horrible. You want to go back to my house, so I can put some make-up on you? You look like a zombie."

"No, just go to school. I'll live with looking like a zombie."

"What happened?"

After letting out a deep sigh, I answered, "Ms.Santiago. I've been avoiding her after she told me she was seeing someone. Last night, she texted me saying we had to talk, and I'm scared."

"Scared? What can she possibly do?"

"I don't know, and that's why I'm scared."

"Think of it like this: if she publicizes the relationship, her career and life are pretty much ruined. You'll be seen as the guy who banged the hottest teacher in school."

"The pessimist in me is thinking she can ruin me while coming out completely unscathed."

"Stop being such a worry wart and relax."

We pulled into the student parking lot, and my head was on a swivel, looking out for Ms.Santiago. I wanted to avoid her till her class.

All my friends also sensed that something was wrong and kept bugging me about it. Since no one other than Zoe knew, I had to keep shut, despite being tempted to let it all out in hopes they had advice for me.

The first three classes went by in a blur, and it was time to face the music. I had built up a nervous sweat and thought about ditching her class. My phone dinged with a text. Nervously, I looked at who it was, and it was from Ms.Santiago.

Ms.Santiago: Ditch class. Meet me in the nurse's office.

Great! Now, I was trapped with her in a confined space with no one else there. Funny how life works because if this was a month ago, I would've been the happiest man on earth.

As I was walking to the nurse's office, I ran into Zoe. She asked, "Where are you going? Isn't her classroom in the opposite direction? Stop being a little bitch and just deal with it already."

"I am. She asked me to meet her in the nurse's office," as I took out my phone to show her the text.

Zoe gave me an assuring hug and said, "It's gonna be alright. Nothing to worry about. Text me after school so we can talk about it."

I made my way to the nurse's office and took a minute before knocking on the door. There were a couple of voices I could hear from the inside, Ms.Santiago and Nurse Mapleton, I assumed.

After taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door, waiting to be let in. Nurse Mapleton was the one who let me in, though she didn't stay for long. She said, "I'll leave you two alone. Text me if you need anything, and to be safe, I'll lock it from the outside." She gave me a reassuring look before exiting.

Ms.Santiago motioned for me to take a seat on the chair as she leaned up against the wall with her arms crossed under her chest. Even though I knew she was mad at me, I couldn't deny how hot she looked. Especially with the way her arms supported her chest.

There was a long silence before she said, "Well? Do you got anything to say?"

Words burst out of my mouth like a dam. Even I wasn't sure what I said, but it went something like, "Pleasedon'truinmylifeI'msorryIdidn'trespondandtriedactinglikeIwasinchargeI'lldoanythingtomakeituptoyou."

"Woah, woah, woah! I have no idea what you said, but I take it that you're sorry. And do you seriously think I would out you like that? Because if I did, I would be outing myself too. I wouldn't be able to show my face anymore. I wouldn't be able to be a teacher anymore. My entire family would disown me."

"Ok, then. Why are we here?"

"We need to end this, but on good terms, like I wanted to do at first, but boy, did you test me."

I let out a meek laugh, replying, "Sorry 'bout that. Who can blame a guy when his hot teacher says she doesn't want to have sex anymore."

"What do you say? Ready to write a fairytale ending to this little story of ours?"

"Don't need to ask me twice. You should have led with this, and spared me a heart attack."

"Maybe you should have responded to my text like a man," with an eyebrow raised.

"Fai enough. No need to look back at our mistakes. We can't change what's been done."

I got up from my seat and made my way towards her. My hands firmly grasped her ass as I pulled her up against me. A feeling that I very much missed. I was getting ready to kiss her when she said, "Great! Now we've been caught on camera!"

Hearing that, I stumbled back, tripping on the chair and landing hard on my ass. Worried out of my mind, I look up to see Ms.Santiago dying from laughter. After composing herself, she says, "You're too gullible, Jake. There are no cameras in here."

I laid down on my back, calming myself down after the scare she gave me. She walked over and squatted next to me. "I'm sorry. Do you want me to make it up to you?" as she placed her hand on my crotch.

"Oh, I'm gonna make you pay."

"That's going to have to wait because the bell will ring in 5 minutes."

"Hmm, how about something small for my troubles now?"

She removed her hand from my crotch and slid it into my pants. Her warm hands caressed my cock and balls and gave a few gentle squeezes. "Is that enough?"

"I feel like I'm in heaven."

"I'll show you what heaven feels like later, but for now, we got to get out of here," as she took her hand out of my pants.

Not a second later, Nurse Mapleton knocked on the door to give us a warning before using her key to let herself in. "Did my taboo lovers sort everything out? Or do I need to lock this door again and give you more time to figure it out?"

"We sorted it out," replied Ms.Santiago. "I'm working out some of the finer details, like what kind of lingerie I wear or how experimental we get?"

I gulped at that last sentence as my mind began wandering. As sexy thoughts of Ms.Santiago flooded my head, blood began to flow into my cock as I now had a raging hard-on.

"Aww, look what you did to the poor boy!" Nurse Mapleton said, referencing my erection.

The lunch bell rang, and the sounds of kids rushing to lunch filled the hallways. Ms.Santiago replied, "You're going to have to take care of that yourself. I have other things I'm supposed to take care of. Unless Nurse Mapleton wants to help out." She winked at me as she left Nurse Mapleton and me alone.

"I don't want you walking out of my office with an erection. I can only imagine what kind of rumors you kids will come up with," she said.

"Are you saying you're gonna help me out?" I asked hopefully.

She laughed, saying, "I don't know if I'm going to help out in the way you're expecting me to, but I will help you out."

"Uhm, how are you going to help me out?"

She tossed me the box of tissues on her desk and then reached into her purse and tossed a small bottle of lube. "That's all the help you'll be getting from me, mister," she said with a smile.

She sat on her chair and turned away from me, letting me do my own thing. I could feel my boner slowly begin to deflate. A few minutes passed by, and without turning around, she said, "I don't hear anything. Is someone getting stage freight? Do I need to step out?"

"Uh, no. The problem seemed to fix itself on its own." I got up off the nurse's bed and handed the tissue box and lube back to her. She did a quick check to make sure there was no boner and gave me the ok to go.

Before I left, I asked, "Why do you carry lube around in your purse?"

"I was wondering what took you so long to ask that. And the answer is a girl needs to be prepared for anything. Never know when a guy wants to stick it up your ass," she said in a mocking but also serious way.

After grabbing lunch from the cafeteria, I made my way towards our lunch spot. I saw Zoe and she was jumping out of her seat to find out what happened, but also knew she couldn't ask in front of the others.

As I began to nibble away at the school pizza, the others were deep in conversation that I had mentally checked out of until they asked me for my opinion.

"Opinion of what?" I asked dumbfoundley.

"Opinion of what we've been talking about the past 10 minutes, blockhead," Sydney said. "And people think I'm the one who doesn't pay attention."

"Sorry, I was thinking of other stuff. What are we talking about again?"

"Did you not see the group text from Tyler asking to meet at my place? Also, both he and Soniya didn't show up today. I'm calling it right now; I bet they broke up."

Zoe tossed a crouton at Sydney, "Don't say that. They're good together. I bet it's just some stupid Tyler nonsense, as usual."

Sydney simply shrugged and went back to eating her lunch. The others continued to speculate what it could be.

I pulled out my phone to see if Tyler had texted me anything personally. There was no message, so I texted him to see what was going on, waiting for a reply.

With about 10 minutes left for lunch, Zoe got up and said, "I got some things I need to get done before next period. Jake, I may need your help. Wanna help me out?" Even though she posed it as a question, it was obvious she was demanding rather than asking. I quickly scarfed down the rest of my lunch and followed her back to the school.

Once far enough away from the gang, I said, "I suppose you don't have anything to do, and the only help you need from me is finding out how things went down between Ms.Santiago and me."

"Bingo! Fill me in. Taking from your expression and body language, things went well. But I want to know how well. Did she give you a goodbye fuck? Did she give you free reins over her body?"

"Nothing happened yet. We agreed on ending things on a good note. She's gonna get back to me when we do, though. Not gonna lie, finding out that she wasn't pissed off at me was good enough. The pity sex is the cherry on top."

"Told you there was no reason to worry. I feel like I deserve a little reward for keeping you somewhat calm."

There was obvious intent in the way she said it. "What kind of reward are you thinking of? Maybe something similar to what happened at your house that one day?"

She smirked at me and said, "Ah, you naughty, naughty boy. I would say that's more of a reward for you than for me. I was thinking more along the lines of you getting me food."

"I don't know. I do remember you having a big, stupid grin on your face."

"Shut up!" We continued to walk around with no destination in particular till she asked, "Has Tyler told you anything yet? I know you guys have bro code and all that, but I feel like our relationship lets you make an exception."

I shook my head, saying, "No, he hasn't told me anything. I sent him a text during lunch, but he still hasn't replied. I asked him for a ride before asking you, and he said he wasn't pulling up to school today. Like you said before, I hope they're not breaking up."

The bell rang, letting all the students know it was time to rush to their next classes. We jogged to the door before splitting up to go to our respective classes, before she did, Zoe said, "Text me so I can give you a ride to Sydney's."

The next few hours of class went by pretty quickly, and before I knew it, the final bell rang. I ran into Zoe outside and headed to her car. We drove past the hardware store, and then it dawned on me that I was supposed to work today. I asked her, "Can you pull over? I have work today."

"You're seriously not going to work, are you? Call off! I don't know why Tyler called us all over, but for whatever it is, he would want his best friend over."

"I am gonna call off. I just don't know how."

She let out a sigh and pulled over. I thanked her and told her I would be back in a minute.

I walked into the store and saw Rebecca at the register. "What's up, Newbie? Aren't you a little early for your shift?"

My mind immediately flashed to the image of her covered in cum and what had happened a few days ago.

She snapped her fingers in my face, "Hello! Earth to Newbie. Are you here?'

"Oh, uh, yeah. Sorry, I zoned out for a second. Uhm, yeah, about that, I need to call off today because something came up last minute. How do I do that?"

"Calling off already? Uff, that's risky business for someone who's feet aren't even wet. But, if you must, you just text Barlow, usually at least a few hours in advance, so he can plan around it. Since you're already here, you can head to the back and tell him personally."

"Wouldn't it be better to text him? I feel like he's gonna give me a whole speech about responsibility."

"Well, you are on camera," as she pointed over her shoulder. "So he knows you're here. Might as well face it like a man."

How funny? The second time today a woman told me to act like a man. That couldn't be good for my manhood.

"Damn! Wish me luck," as I walked toward his office. I knocked on his door, and he called out for me to come in.

"Jake! What can I do for ya?"

"Hate to do this on such short notice, but I need to call off. I wasn't sure how to, so I just came into the store. Sorry!"

He let out a disappointed sigh, "I'll let you go this one time because I believe I've forgotten to tell you about how call-offs work here. For next time, though, you have to give me at least 3 hours' notice so I can find a replacement. And it doesn't have to be in person either, you can text or call too, just need to know ahead of time. As for now, Brendan is already done for the day, and Grant is on vacation. Here, let me come out with you and ask if Rebecca can handle closing on her own."

We walked to the front of the store to Rebecca, and he asked, "Hey, Rebecca! Jake won't be able to work his shift today. Would you be able to hold down the fort on your own tonight? I'll stay late to help you out, but I do have a lot of administrative work I have to get done."

"Yeah, no problem, Mr.Barlow," she replied with a smile.

"Great! Well, Jake, go take care of whatever you have to do. And again, at least 3 hours next time. Alright, have a good night, Jake," he said as he walked back to his office.

I looked at Rebecca and said, "Thank you so much! I owe you."

"I'm going to hold you to that, Newbie. That better not be an empty promise." Her smile that she had for Mr.Barlow had disappeared and was replaced by a very serious look.

"I'm good for it. I swear." I thanked her again before heading back to the car.

We were the last ones to arrive, and we were let in by Mrs.Augustyne. I had to use the bathroom before heading down to the basement, and when I was done, Mrs.Augustyne was waiting outside for me, which startled me.

"Oh, hi, Mrs.Augustyne. Did you need to use the bathroom too?"

"No, but I do want to know what's going on. Sydney gave me a heads-up that Tyler would be getting here before her, and when he did, he was unusually quiet. He never fails to flirt with me. I would ask Sydney, but that girl never tells me anything. Since you and I have a pretty open line of communication, I figured you would let me in."

I chuckled nervously and replied, "I would love to let you in, Mrs.Augustyne, but the truth is, even I don't know. Tyler texted in the group chat, asking to meet up here. Other than that, no one knows anything."

She crossed her arms, looking at me with an expression showing that she didn't believe me.

"I'm not lying. I have no idea what's going on here. And if you don't mind me asking, why are you so interested?"

"Like I said, Sydney never tells me anything. Now, if this doesn't concern my daughter, then I don't care. I know Matt, you, and her have a weird little triangle going on. But when you do find out what's going on, don't be shy to let me in."

I shot her a look as to why she wanted to know, and she responded with, "What? I love gossip. I don't care what or where it comes from. It helps me feel in tune with you young people."

I trodded down the steps to the basement to join the others. Everyone was there, and when I saw Tyler and Soniya, both of them seemed down. After taking a seat, they stood in front of everyone, and Tyler started talking.

"Look, we're probably making this a bigger deal than it is, but we wanted to let you all know at the same time. Avoid all the drama with some people finding out before others." He looked at Soniya for reassurance and then made his announcement, "Soniya and I have decided to break up."

The collective mood in the room just dropped. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Sydney mouthing, "I told you," at Zoe. Zoe got up right away and embraced Soniya in a hug.

After the hug, Soniya started to talk. "We're not on bad terms or anything, so no need to worry about the group being divided or picking sides. We just realized we're looking for different things at this point in our lives. We are still in high school."

There was some consolation before the group dispersed. Soniya and Zoe decided to hang out at Sydney's. Ray and Matt had other things to take care of and went their ways. Tyler said he would give me a ride home, giving me some time to help him out.

As I walked out the door, I was called back in by Mrs.Augustyne. "So?" she asked.

"Nothing about Sydney. Tyler and Soniya broke up."

"Ah, that's such a shame. Sorry to switch up topics on you, but it has been a while since we've had a sit-down conversation. I do miss those a little bit, having someone interested in the stories of my youth."

"Oh. I'm sure we can find some time for that, but now is probably not the best time."

"Understood. I'll see you later, Jake."

I left the Augustyne's and got in Tyler's truck. The ride to my house was a quiet one filled with the radio. When we pulled into my driveway, I asked him if he wanted to come in, and he took up my offer.

Upstairs in my room, he slumped onto my chair. The usually energetic and happy Tyler was the exact opposite now. A few minutes passed before I asked him, "What happened between you two? You only have to tell me if you want to or are ready?"
