Educate Me. (Robert Downey Jr)

Secret.

"Wait, what?!" She asked completely confused.
"This year, I had a tutor. We were flirting and such, and we both fell for eachother. Long story short, the principle ended up putting me in his class, so now he is my teacher.. And my boyfriend." I said out of breath.
She just sat there stunned on the side of the counter space.
"How--how old is he?" She asked.
I sighed. "32, his birthday is in April."
"Wha wha wha wait. He is a teacher at Hollywood High?"

I nodded, wiping a leftover tear that trickled down my cheek.
"I'm going to be going there after break. What's his name?"
"Robert Downey, Jr." But everyone calls him Mr. Downey.
"Downey.. Downey..." She kept saying to herself. "Downey.."
I looked at her confused and she got up and led me into her room.
I sat on her bed as she fumbled through papers that looked like they were from the school.
"Downey, Downey. " She kept saying scanning the list that looked like her class schedule.
"Ah! I knew it sounded familiar."
"I have him for English."
"You do?!"
"Yeah. I can't believe you're dating a teacher!"
I looked down, ashamed.

"Oh no, I didn't mean it like that Danielle. You love who you love, it's not as bad as you think. Don't worry I won't tell anyone. Does anyone know?"

"Just my mom..-" I was interrupted by my phone.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey my love. It's been a while just checking up on my baby." He said. His voice is so comforting.

"Oh, I'm fine babe, don't worry." I said lying to him and myself.

"Okay, I'll leave you to your Christmas shopping. I love you, get me something good." He joked and chuckled.

"I love you too, and I'll try."

I decided that it would be best to keep this a secret for a while, at least until I go to the doctor.
