This is my first story ever, i don't know much about story writing, forgive me.
-------------------------------------------------
Neil started his day like he normally would, toilet, breakfast, school. Neil is now 18, his parents died in a car crash 3 months ago. His father, Ryan Goldsteen, was an investment banker and had invested very wisely, allowing Neil to never worry about money, ever. This didn't stop Neil from wanting an education; he felt the need to live up to his father's expectations.
Neil is a handsome young man, he is 6 foot, and is of medium build with large muscular arms. He is currently in his last year of high school at Pineview public high school. Neil decided to go to Pineview as his father had gone there as a child also, his father regularly donate money to the school, and in the memory of his father, Neil did this also. His donations allowed the school to remain open and for all the teachers to appreciate his presence at the school.
Neil was an exemplar student, on time, kind, funny, sweet and happy. However this changed 3 months ago, the death of his parents had a delayed effect on Neil, he was no longer the kind person he used to be, he became sad and brittle. This side of Neil showed itself on many occasions in class, he would be kicked out on numerous occasions for back talking and being generally disrespectful.
On a sunny Friday, during lunch time, Neil felt he had enough of the school day and was heading towards his father's Audi R8, his father seemed to love the car as a son, Neil ensured that he did so as well, cleaning it and servicing it himself just like his father had taught him when he was young. The school idiot and bully came behind Neil and spat
"Leaving to see your mother Neil? Oh wait... She's dead!"
Neil's anger exploded, he removed the socket wrench in his bag, George began to run away, however Neil caught up and began to pound away at George. Neil didn't stop, George was constantly abusing Neil, Neil let all the other taunts pass by, this time George had gone too far. It took 5 people to pull Neil away from George, the result was a trip to the ICU for George and 2 months rehabilitation, Neil was given punishment in the form of detention and community service, he was granted leniency because of grief. Due to his violent assault on George, Neil had to move classes that had George in them; this meant he would be moved into Ms Hart's history class.
Neil didn't mind Ms Hart, he knew that she was good looking and recently divorced, she told people that she was 28, she was really 32 with long dark hair, full chest and healthy toned body as she would run nearly every day to stay in shape. Kate Hart was nothing short of drop dead gorgeous, as part of Neil's punishment he was assigned a teacher to which he must speak to everyday after school for a minimum of 2 hours, this was recommended by the judge in order to help Neil cope with the loss of his family and his exploding anger.
Neil didn't need any guidance or anyone to talk to, he knew what he had done and when all the students filed out of Ms Hart's class he sat down near the back and waited for her to begin the conversation.
"Neil, I have been appointed to talk to you about..."
Neil cut her off with a sharp comment
"I don't need to talk to anyone about what happened, I beat George to an inch of his life with a wrench because he mocked the memory of my mother, someone who I loved deeply, who I miss with each passing second, I don't think you would understand any of the pain I'm going through."
With that he got up and began to leave.
Kate was not happy with his attitude and told him to take a seat or she would call the judge and he would be thrown in jail. Neil didn't want a record, he reluctantly sat and stared his teacher in the eyes and she began to talk about anger and loss.
"Neil, listen, I know what you are feeling, the anger, I caught my husband with another woman in our marital bed, he didn't try to conceal her from me. He simply got up and forced divorce papers in my face, he didn't show any regret or remorse" Said an unhappy Kate as she reflected all the memories of her failed marriage.
Neil gave his sympathy to his teacher, he genuinely felt sorry for her. Her husband had taken everything from her, she was living with a friend and her teaching job barely covered her half of the rent, she had to sell her car and most of her possessions including her old family jewellery. Tears started to well up in Kate's eyes as wounds resurfaced, Neil became distressed and hugged her.
"Listen Ms Hart, if you can open up like that to me, I will use the same effort in each of our sessions, I promise" said Neil and he ran his fingers through Kate's hair while she hugged him.
Kate had felt she won a victory with Neil, he promised to open up, which is something which would not be easy for Neil. Kate was not lying about her situation, she sold most of her things including her car, and in order to get home she walked 4km and caught 3 buses. Neil saw this as an opportunity to get to know his teacher better; he was very interested in her situation and wanted to help her.
Neil "accidently" drove past Ms Hart on her 4km walk to the bus stop; he stopped his car and got out
"Hey Ms Hart, Need a lift?" asked Neil with a slight smile.
Kate was seriously considering the lift, then she thought how inappropriate it would seem if someone had seen them together in the same car, it may look as if she and him were together.
"No thanks Neil, Thanks for the offer though" Said Kate.
Neil wasn't going to take no for an answer
"The news said it was going to rain, and you don't have an umbrella Ms, you'll get soaked!"
"Its fine, Neil, really" said Kate
Just as Kate said this bus went past, she was late and would either have to walk an additional 5km or wait until 7 for the next bus; Neil saw this and used it to his advantage.
"Oh no! Look, I made you miss your bus, I'm really sorry!" said an apologetic Neil.
Kate was disappointed, she couldn't walk much farther, she was constantly tired and stressed, Neil saw this and begged her to let him take her home. Kate agreed as she saw that this was her only option, she got into his R8 and they began the journey.
"You know I live really close to you Ms Hart" Lied Neil.
"Really?" asked a confused Kate.
"Yeah, I live about 3 blocks away, in that apartment building they are renovating"
There was in fact a new apartment building, and it just so happened that Neil's father had invested in it before he died. Only the top floor was completed, the apartments where not leased, and Neil had the intention of selling the apartment complex because he didn't care much for it.
"How do you live there if they are renovating it?" asked Kate
"Since my dad died I suspended most of his renovation projects, it just so happened that the top floor was finished and I moved in because I like the quiet, and the house reminds me too much of them" replied Neil.
Kate expressed her sympathy yet again for his loss, he thanked her.
"Ms, I don't really have a problem with picking you up and dropping you off to and from school, would you like me to?" asked a hopeful Neil.
