The Headmaster's Secret (♡Completed♡)

26

Alex's P.O.V.

Please be nice to him. I really like him dad. I'm sorry.

I will be nice love. I like Zayn, even if you two were ditching to make out. Get back to class, I'm not gonna try and sabotage you kid."

Thanks. Love you.

I love you too.

I put my phone up, leaning across my desk,

"Zayn, look at me.", I said softly. His blue eyes met mine. "You're not in trouble."

"I-I'm not?"

"No. But I want an explanation kid. Whether you think it's dumb or not."

"I really am just having a bad day."

"Okay. Why?" He hesitated,

"It's... It's the four year anniversary of when my mom and three siblings died."

"Zayn that's not dumb.", I said gently, "I'm really sorry that happened. Can I do anything?" He shook his head,

"No. I-I just miss them. And the rest of my family."

"That's understandable. Why don't you go visit them?" He shook his head,

"My dad had to go to Italy to take care of my grandparents. He took my sister and my brothers with him."

"How many siblings to you have?"

"I had nine older brothers and three younger sisters. Two of my sisters and my brother died with my mom. My sister is twelve. They were triplets and my brother was my twin. She gets really messed up about it sometimes and I'm usually the only one who can make her chill out. I don't like them being so far away."

"Why didn't your dad leave your siblings here?"

"We aren't good with separation. Most families in Italy are really close and any time we're apart, we're on edge and distracted. Especially after mom. Dad wouldn't have gone if they stayed and they left without telling me because they knew I'd leave here and go."

"They were doing what's best for you kiddo."

"I know. It still upset me."

"When are they coming back?"

"In about a month hopefully. Giovanna wants to go to school here. She'll be thirteen in a month."

"Well if she's anything like you, she'll get in easily." He smiled,

"Thanks." I sighed,

"Alright, I'm not your headmaster right now, I'm Mia's dad. What are you doing with my kid?" He swallowed hard,

"I-I um- I'd really like your permission to ask her out sir. I like Mia a lot. I've wanted to ask her out for awhile I just- everytime I came to ask you I chickened out." I paused,

"Zayn, I think you're a great kid. And student and human being in general. And I know Mia likes you a lot. I'm more than okay with you asking her out. Respect her, care for her, communicate with her. That's all I ask and I honestly don't expect any less from you." He smiled,

"Thank you."

"But know that Mia tells me everything eventually. Everything. So I will know if you screw up and what you did or didn't do to fix it."

"Yes sir."

"And you can come to me with stuff too. Whether it be about Mia or about anything else. I never want to lose a kid like we lost Andrew." Zayn laughed a little,
