Unplanned (Student/Teacher Romance) STORY UNDER MAJOR EDITING!

Chapter 7

I wake up out of breath and panting. I had the worst nightmare ever. I was kidnapped at my house, raped, and then murdered. A tear slid down my face and I slowly get up and tip toe into the kitchen. I make myself a glass of water.

"You okay?" a voice asks, making me jump.

"I'm fine," I turn around to tell Ricky.

"Why are you up then?" he asks.

"Why are you?" I retort with a smirk.

"That couch is uncomfortable," he groans.

"I had a nightmare," I say.

"About?" he asks.

I explain.

"That won't happen. Don't worry," he smiles.

"You can lay down in your bed. we can sleep on opposite ends," I say.

"Alright," he agrees.

We walk to his room and lay down. We share the cover on the bed, but remain as far away from each other as possible.

"Stop hogging the covers!" I complain, as I feel Ricky pull them.

I yank them back to me.

He yanks back even harder and I groan.

I look over and realize Ricky is fast asleep.

I get up and make my way to the couch.

After tossing and turning all night, I finally fell back asleep, but then I had to wake up an hour later.

"Jo wake up," Ricky shakes me.

"No," I groan.

"Time for school," he says.

I roll over and pull the covers over my head. Ezra joins Ricky and they snatch the covers away from me.

"Boneheads," I mutter.

I continue to lay on the couch.

"Don't make me pick you up," Ricky threatens.

"You wouldn't" I groan.

Ricky's hands come up under me and he lifts me off the couch.

"Put me down!" I shriek.

He puts me down.

"I don't like you," I glare.

"Yes you do," Ezra butts in.

"Shut up," I wink.

"Why are you on the couch anyways?" Ricky asks.

"Because your ass hogged all the covers," I say.

"Why were you two in the same bed?" Ezra asks.

I blush a little at his question.

"He didn't like the couch," I explain.

"We stayed on opposite sides," Ricky defends.

"Yeah I was only in there with you for about 10 minutes," I laugh.

I walk up to Ricky's room and change into some pants and a T-shirt.

I go back downstairs and lay on the couch.

"No sleeping," Ricky says.

I groan and grab my book bag. I get in my car and drive straight to school.

"Why do Romeo and Juliet's parents forbid their relationship?" Ezra asks the class.

I raise my hand and he looks at me.

"Their families are enemies," I reply.

"Correct," he smiles.

"I thought it had something to do with the fact that he was like a lot older than her," a boy in class says.

"That could be a problem, but it wasn't the reason," he clarifies.

"I think if age was the problem then those people are idiots. Age is just a number," I state.

"Some people feel different about age," Ezra retorts.

"I think if two people love each other, they should truly be able to be together no matter what the age is," Paige speaks up.

"I somewhat agree. I can see both sides of that argument," Ezra says.

I just smile and roll my eyes.

At lunch I had to go over all the details about my sleepover with my two teachers.

"Don't tell anyone," I say.

"Trust us, we won't," Paige says.

"So, are you going back over there today?" Ali asks.

"I didn't plan on it," I say.

"Invite us if you do," Paige winks.

"Do you guys wanna come over after school?" I ask them.

"I can't stay overnight. I have to watch my cousins, but I can for a few hours," Ali says.

I look over at Paige.

"I could stay for a few hours too," she smiles.

"See you all in gym," I say as the bell rings.

"Why do you have to stay at my house?" I ask Ricky after gym is over.

"Ezra and I don't want you staying there alone," he replies.

"Well, having a teacher stay at my house is freaky," I say.

"Ezra will be there too," Ricky smirks.

"Oh joy," I roll my eyes.

"Nice to know how you feel," Ezra appears in the doorway.

"I'm only kidding," I smirk.

I pull out my phone and text the girls.

Me: Something came up. Can't hang out today. Another time soon! :)

Ali: Very soon!

Paige: Don't get frisky with Coach, if that's why you're canceling. ;)

I laugh a little at Paige's message and put my phone up.

"I guess you can both stay," I say.

We get in our separate cars and they follow me to my house. I don't race Ezra this time though. I unlock the front door and we all walk inside. I see a face I thought I wouldn't see for awhile.

"Dad?"
