I'm standing here looking at Mr. Foster panicking. Mason cant know he's here, he'll just be suspicious and i don't want that. Plus teachers are not suppose to come to students houses. Oh my god i am dead.
"Mr. Foster, Please just get in the closet"
"why?" he says
"because you're not suppose to be here and mason will be suspicious"
"fine"
"Mags are you in there?" i hear mason call
"just a sec mase" i say
Mr. Foster goes in to the closet and sits down. I close the door and walk over to the front door and open it putting on the most queasy face i can.
"i'm not feeling to good mase" i say hoping he cant see through my lies
"What's wrong?" he asks worried
"i have a stomach ache"
" oh, don't get me sicks mags.." he says laughing
Then he enters my house and i quickly try to stop him.
"what are you doing?"
"i'm going to hang my coat up in your closet and then i'm going to take care of my best friend."
"no don't ...wait"
He opens the closet door and i close it, leaning up against it. Looking at Mason nervously.
"mags what are you doing?" he says
"whats in there?" he continues
"nothing just uhm---" i say stumbling over my own words
"what are you hiding mags?"
"RATS" i say
"we have a big infestation" i continue
" i wouldn't want you to hang up your coat in that closet, just lay it on the couch" i say nervously
"Mags let me see the rats then" he says eyeing me suspiciously
"and who's car is that out front? hmm?"
"no ones ...maybe its the neighbors, maybe they forgot ----"
"where they live?" he says getting angry
"mags just let me see whats in there?" he says in an endearing voice
He pushes past me and opens the door, no one is in there. I'm shocked ..how did he get out?
"I'm sorry mags, i just was worried someone was hurting you."
"its okay" i say
"now i'm really sick can you go? ill see you in school tomorrow?" i continue giving him a sad face
"yah sure" he says still eyeing me suspiciously
i close the door and look for Mr. Foster. He comes walking out of the kitchen all sly.
"He almost caught you" i say
"yah i know"
"how did you get out?" i ask him
"i got out before you guys walked in, then i snuck in the kitchen, i figured i better hide somewhere more concealing"
"thank god" i say relaxing
" Maggie we need to talk"
"yah?" i say worried
" this cant happen, we just cant, i saw how dangerous it was with mason and how close he came..I just cant risk that happening with someone like the cops"
"i could go to jail" he says in barely a whisper
"we could make it work" i say desperately
"i like you mags but you're a minor and i'm your teacher, we just cant."
My eyes start to tear up. I realize i just lost something i never really had but wanted so bad.
"Please don't do this" i say desperately crying
"see you in school tomorrow" he say then opens the door and walks out but before it closes
he turns and his eyes are as watery as mine, he blinks and a tear runs down his cheek. He mouths to me "i'm sorry" and then closes the door. I collapse, never feeling this much hurt in my life, it feels like i just lost someone i love. It feels like when my dad left, except this time i feel as if ill never get over this.
