Daegan POV

I was in the front office working as an aid and bored out of my mind. I dont know why they didnt just give me free period. There wasn't really much for me to do so I was just listening to music. I was supposed to hang out with Tenoa after-school and I wanted out of here asap.

I had phoned my folks back home and told them everything that had happened between us . My ma had started crying because "her boys growing up" and my pa called me a "cheeky bastard". I missed my folks terribly, but I was forever grateful for our phone chats. I still had a whole school year to tackle, but atleast i wasnt alone.

Thankfully my home sickness was fanned away by a woman entering the office. I turned down off my music and stood to greet her to realize it was Miss Monica, Tenoa's aunt.

She seemed to recognize me at the same time, making her way towards the counter where I came to stand, "Hello Daegan", she offered, looking up at me.

I pulled out my ear bud, nodding my head, "Good'aye, Miss Monica", I greeted, waving at her from my seat, "Here for Tenoa?" I had already known the answer since Tenoa had mentioned it prior.

"Yeah, appointment", she replied, "Tenoa said you're coming over today, right?", she asked.

I nodded in confirmation and got up to get her the sign out forms. We had spoken in passing, but I haven't really talked to his Aunt much. "Aye, yes ma'am", I wasn't able to come over yesterday because some git was talking out his ass so we spent 2 hours doing drills before heading to the weight room for another 2 and a half hours. The guy practically had a target on his back the whole time. By the time they were done it was already 7 o'clock and I was too sore to even consider climbing through Tenoa's window. Not that his Aunt Monica needed to know that information.

"Are you staying for dinner", she asked, signing the necessary paperwork to take them home.

I just shrugged, "Whut 're yu cookin'?"

"Roast beef, but if I'm not cooking by the time you get there pizza", she joked.

I laughed along politely as we waited for them to arrive. She seemed nice and we had nice chat; that's good. Atleast she wasn't drilling me like the Martin's would've. Soon Tenoa and Tenaya entered the office with Coach Craven. I shot Tenoa a wink and nodded at Tenaya as they stood with her at the counter.

Miss Monica hugged the both, sliding the clipboard back to me. For a moment I forgot Coach was there until he said something, "Well hello Monica", he called out, making his way over to where the woman stood. Miss Monica had her back to them as they entered, so she hadn't seen Coach yet.

I dont know how her face dropped so quickly, but I could see her rolling her eyes before putting down the pen and turning to face him. Something was about to go down. "Mr. Craven", she greeted shortly, plastering on a smile faker than Principal Clarks tupee. I would know, she threatened my boyhood with the same one. In fact, she stood up straighter as if preparing for a standoff. Just looking between the two, I knew there was some bad blood or some history between them. I was just gonna be quiet and watch.

Tenaya rolled her eyes and the twins moved over to stand by him. 'Oh, this is gonna be juicy.'

"What did I tell you about calling me that, just call me Calvin", Coach drawled, taking off his cap and leaning against the counter like he was sauve or something. He seemed to not care that I was there which he should have because he was acting like a nonce.

Wait.

Was Coach Craven into Miss Monica?

I looked over at Tenoa and Tenaya for silent confirmation, recieveing a silent 'long story' from the girl before she announced she'd start the car and left out the front doors. Tenoa didn't follow after her which I was happy about and didn't hide. I slid my hand into his behind the counter and he easily laced his fingers with mine. We shared bashful smiles before continuing to watch the two again.

Miss Monica must've been done being cordial or entertaining him at the very least, because she was glaring at her phone screen, "Mr. Craven, I have to get Tenoa and Tenaya to their doctor's appointments", she said flatly, "so if you don't mind", she looked over at us and nodded over to the exit. She said nothing else as she moved passed him.

Too distracted watching Miss Monica walk away, me and Tenoa said our farewells. I was surprised when he released my hand and pulled me in. "B- bye, daddy", whispered in the softest voice in my ear before scampering off after the matriarch. It made me feel better about being to be left here with these people for another 2 hours. I didn't even care Coach was staring at me; he had his own lack of relationship to laugh at.

I just waved and smiled, "Bye Tenoa! Ah'll phone yu later!"

I put my earbugs back in and got back to my homework. 'Just a few more hours.'
