The next morning, I sat in my chair in the band room waiting for class to start. I fidgeted with the keys on my clarinet, how was I supposed to not think about what we did in his office? I tried to just think of him as I used to, just my teacher, my friend. But the image of Mr. Parker standing nude in front of me kept peaking around that innocent image. I was worried other students would see that something had changed between us. Maybe I was just being too paranoid.

Mr. Parker stepped up onto his podium right before the bell rang and opened his music portfolio. He finally looked at me. We locked eyes for a moment, just looking at each other. His face slowly turned red, with a small smile he looked back down. I couldn’t help but smile. The bell rang and Mr. Parker raised his voice, “Take your seats.” He looked my way, but quickly looked away, his blush still there. After everyone was in their seats and the room was quiet for the most part, he spoke, “Let’s head outside, make sure to grab your music, you will need it today.”

I quickly grabbed my stuff and jogged out the band doors, meeting up with Mr. Parker as he walked towards the door leading to the football field. “Morning,” I said with confidence. I worked very hard to make myself walk with him.

“Morning,” He beamed.

Not what? “How are you?”

He laughed, “Good, what about you?”

“Great.”

“Is this weird?”

“No, I’m just worried about acting different around the other students. Cody already had a feeling I was into you.”

“Oh,” He shrugged, “Just try to act….well, normal.”

I laughed, “Easier said than done.”

“That’s very true.” We walked out onto the football field and I stayed in my place on the 50 yard dash. We practiced for awhile. When it came to my solo, I marched up to the front, ready to play. Mr. Parker ran over to me, grabbing my shoulders and moved me over a little. “Remember this spot, it just works better with you here.” He was blushing again. I had a feeling if anyone found out about us, it would be because of him. I nodded and played, Mr. Parker took his place back up on his ladder, continuing to conduct.

When band ended, I went to my other three classes. When lunch came, instead of going to the cafeteria as I had been, I went to Mr. Parker’s office. The band room was empty, I hoped he was in his office. For some reason I didn’t knock and just opened the door. He was facing away from me, eating his lunch, but quickly spun around. “Oh, hi.” He smiled and stood. “Come in.”

I stepped in, shutting the door. “What are you eating?”

“Oh,” He looked down at the small box in his hands, “Just some ramen.” He laughed. “Did you get lunch?”

“No, I just got let out for lunch.”

“You want some ramen?” He held out his food.

“Uh, is that okay?”

“I can get more later.” Why was he so cute?

“Okay,” I sat at his desk, opposite of him and munched on the noodles.

“How’s your day going?”

“It’s long,” I sighed, “and boring. Just trying to make it through the day so I can come in for another piano lesson.”

“Hmm,” He smiled to himself and looked away. I was hoping I was getting another piano lesson anyway. Maybe he had a different lesson in mind. At the thought of it, I blushed. “I have a question.”

Butterflies formed in my stomach, “Oh.”

“Would you like to come over to my house this weekend?” His eyes finally met mine, he looked hopeful.

Was he serious? I was about to say yes, but then I remember my parents. Would they let me stay the night with my teacher? “Uhh…”

“I’m sorry, I just thought-”

“Oh no, it’s just,” I thought a moment, “I’m not sure my parents will let me.”

“Oh, well can you tell them we are practicing for band or something? Which we will….” I saw him swallow hard.

I smiled without noticing, “Yeah, I’ll ask.” I realized I only had a short amount of time of lunch and quickly ate my noodles while watching Mr. Parker look through some piano music pieces. I stood, “Well, I need to get back to class, I will see you after school.”

He set aside the music and walked around the desk to stand in front of me. He placed his hand on my upper arm, which I looked at his hand not realizing he was going to kiss me. I quickly looked back up and he leaned in for a kiss. This kiss was more loving and gentle. “Enjoy the rest of your classes.”

If I was able to focus, “Okay,” I smiled, “Bye.”

Mr. Parker gave me a small wave, “Bye.”

It turned out to be really hard to focus. Come to find out, I had a test in Algebra 2 that I had absolutely no clue about. I was pretty sure I failed it. Was it bad that I didn’t care? Band was my main focus anyway. I was really shocked when I got to my sixth period, English 3. I was ten minutes into class when Mr. Parker walked in. “Can I borrow Zachary for the rest of the period?” He asked my teacher, Mrs. Miller.

My heart was really racing, “Sure, we were just having a reading day. That’s fine.” She answered.

I got up, gathering my things and crossed the classroom while everyone watched me. I passed Cody right before I left the room, “Lucky,” he said.

We walked down the English hallway, “Thanks, any reason why you got me out of class?”

“Because I can.” He shrugged with a smile. This was really cool, he didn’t realize how happy he made me. We stepped into the band room, “Want to practice on the piano? I don’t have a class right now.”

“Oh, sure.” I placed my books on the piano and took a seat.

Mr. Parker left to get the music and when he came back he asked, “What do you have last period?”

“Multimedia, a computer class. Why?”

“Well, I wanted you to stay here and practice until the end of the day. I can email your teacher to get you out.”

He was definitely cool, “Oh ok, sounds good.”

He smiled, “Okay, start practicing, I will go ahead and email them. Who’s the teacher?”

“Mr. Barren.” I watched him walk away then I started practicing.

We spent the rest of the school day practicing, it was very relaxing. It was very normal, like how we used to spend time together. I was able to get so lost in the music, I forgot how nervous I was around my teacher. Time really flew by, once the bell rang, I jumped. I stopped playing. “I was thinking I would go home early so I can start talking to mom about going over to you house this weekend.”

“Okay,” He sighed. I felt bad, he seemed sad to hear I was going home so early.

“Maybe you could come over for dinner tonight, I’ll ask.”

“You sure?”

“Yeah, I’ll tell her it’s for clarinet practice.”

“She’s not going to think it’s weird that your taking such a strong interest in band? Or maybe that your spending so much time with me?”

I shrugged, “I don’t really care.” I laughed.

“Okay, call me after you ask.” He looked around, checking to see if anyone was watching, then he leaned in and quickly kissed me on the lips. He stood and checked behind him again.

I laughed again, “Okay, I will.” I half ran to my car, really wanting to get home to talk to my mom.
