Mr. Schlatts halloween party takes quite the turn.
Once all the girls at the table calmed down, their only request was that they were filled in about your weekend plans on monday, to which you actually agreed
now the hard part was picking a cute costume for you and schlatt, i mean he didn't really seem like a costume kinda guy
there was 20 minutes left in the period and you needed to find something fast
it was the last class of the day and schlatts party was tomorrow, and you knew you wanted to hand make yours and schlatts costume
so you turned to the six bright eyed girls you had grown to love
your class was very relaxed, if they did their work and you would play music games and movies, your students loved you
but these girls ADORED you.
it was alanna, deyvn, natalia, lucy, renn, and kezia.
they were all so genuinely themselves, and they made you feel like you were one of them, they told you EVERYTHING, and i mean everything.
each one had such a different personality, yet they all were so close. You were gonna miss them next year
you slid your wheely chair over to their table and called for their attention
“Girls, im calling a meeting, i need your help” you sighed and looked around at them
"thats funny considering youre the teacher." alanna giggeled to herself
"shut up al, i wanna hear about her and mr schlatt" kezia said, suddenly paying very close attention, she never cared about classes, but gossip, oh she would have an A+ if it was a class
"dont be rude, anyways, as you heard before, me and ja- Mr. schlatt. are gonna have a matching costume for his party tonight and you guys are much cooler than me, what should we be?" you begged
each girl began searching pintrest and finding ideas until renn found something she deemed great
"ok, lightbulb! you guys should be adam and eve" everyone began to protest her idea but she continued on "everyone shut it, hear me out number one hes religious, right? number two your bodies tea. you would look hot as fuck. cmon its a great idea."
"renn let me get this straight, you want me to wear a leaf over my cooch? and boobs? to a school function? with other teachers from this school??? yknow what your on a ban, no more ideas from you"
they all started hysterically laughing as renn raised her hands in surrender "any ideas that i can wear without being slut shamed by the schools faculty?" you asked
natalia was up next " what if you did flynn and rapunzel, wait no, actually tell Mr. Nivison to be Flynn, ugh hes so hot, why not match with him." that began a four minute argument about weither Mr. Schlatt was hotter, or Mr. Nivison
"can someone please lock in and find me a costume?" you begged over their debate
"okay i might have an idea." deyvn said, "ok so what if you were the starry night and Mr. schlatt was van gogh." she suggested, before i could even comment lucy butted in
"wait that would be so cute, ugh you never shut about about van gogh either! you could wear a little dress and like paint the starry on your face, or on the dress, and schlatt could do like an ear patch thingy, and the hat he wears, wait i love this!"
they all began throwing ideas at you about how you could execute the costume, and while some of their ideas were rancid, it could actually be a very cute costume.
when the period ended they all said their goodbyes, and while you were packing up schlatt made his way to your classroom and opened it with his key
"BOO" he tried to scare you
"i literally saw you jay" you laughed and you slid your laptop into your bag.
"ugh, ill get you eventually, dont even worry about it, did ya pick somthin' for us to wear tomorrow?" he made his way infront of your desk and leaned his weight on the table
"i did actually, you have to hear me out though, it might sound dumb." he quickly cuts you off
"nothing you say is dumb" he was looking up at you and his eyes were very warm, much more than usual, it threw you off your game for a moment
"um, well thank you, but seriously, let me explain it before you say anything, i think it would be cute if we were the starry night and van gogh bu-"
"i love that." he cuts you off, still staring at you with the same look in his eyes as before
it was overwhelming you the way he was looking at you, but at the same time it pulled you in.
"no questions? i mean what if i wanted to dye your hair red." i laugh quietly
"id let you." he says without missing a beat
"m' not gonna do that, when should i bring you your costume, or like help you get ready or something." you felt very judged by his gaze, but not in a negative way, if that makes any sense, he was really confusing you.
"well party starts at 8, so come over early, we can get ready together, maybe even pregame a bit, and only if you want you can help setup. sound good?" he said softly
"yeah, sounds good." you said back, copying his tone of voice
"see ya' tomorrow toots." he stood up and walked out the room without looking back, the door clicked shut and he left you with nothing but your thoughts.
what the fuck was that.
you were so confused about what had just went down
why on earth was he looking at you like that
since when was he calling you toots, he always just called you by your name, no pet names
all those thoughts continued to plauge your mind for the duration of the night
and the next morning
and the afternoon
all the way until it was time to head over to schlatts house
it was in a nice area, he lived right outside the city, near astoria, queens
he had told you before that he commuted every day to work, but it was only a 20-40 minute drive depending on traffic
when you arrived at his house the first thing you noticed was how it was a very old building, yet his very new car (very expensive) was sat outside, it was a very symbolic scene, but it felt like him in a way
you got to the door, bag and a bottle of benedictine in hand, and rung the door bell, and it was taking quite a long time, you were starting to worry
but you were suprised when the door flung open revealing a very disheveled looking schlatt
"holy shit thank everything your here, im such an idiot i fully fell asleep and i just woke up and now im gonna crash out." as he rambled you set down your stuff at a nearby table
you walked back over to him and placed both your hands on his face, attempting to calm him down "johnny look at me please"
you noticed his eyes darting around and lip trembling. he had mentioned his severe anxiety to you before but you never knew it got this bad
`"hey im right here its ok, were going to get everything done, i know youre stressed but we are gonna do this together, we have time, and we can even make it fun, ok?" his eyes slowly begin to focus on yours and his lip began to calm
you moved one of your hands to his and let him ground himself and calm down, eventually he was able to let go of your hand and give you a hug
hugging him was the best thing youve ever experienced, he engulfed your whole body and rested his head atop yours and for a moment you felt true peace
your breathing syncronized and you stood there holding eachother
until you felt something fuzzy brush against your leg, and you pulled away to find two cats rubbing at your legs, and orange and black cat to be specific
you looked back at schlatt and he was smiling at you "they like you, makes sense, i do too." your eyes widened and you fully turned yourself in his direction
"what did you just say?" you squint your eyes and point at him "can you repeat that" you said through your smile
"i said i like you, and we both know you heard me the first time" he moved closer to you with a grin you were growing to love plastered across your face
"maybe i just wanted to hear you say it again" you smirk, before turning around and picking up his orange cat, "whats this one called?" you smile
"oh were just gonna smooth past that huh?" he asked accusatorially, one eyebrow raised, as he walked closer to you
being around schlatt made you feel bold, you were so comfortable around him that it boosted your confidence tenfold, you got super close to him, lips mear inches away
"i like you too, but we have alot to do, so we'll talk about it later." it wasnt a question, you looked up at him and then, walked away
you made your way to his kitchen and started pouring food into plasic bowls you found on the kitchen table
"you think your funny huh?" he made his way into the kitchen around 20 seconds after you, what you didnt know is he needed a moment to ajust himself in his pants
"hilarious, we an two hours until people arrive, and i need atleast and hour to get ready, make your self busy." you said as you continued setting up the food.
"your very bossy, yknow' that?" he laughed as he began unraveling cob webs he bought days prior.
"oh you have no idea handsome." you walked out the kitchen and started setting up lights cobwebs and fake bats on the celing of the living room
for the next hour you two would shamelessly flirt and joke around, like before, but there was now this tension, that in all honesty, you really liked
then came time to get ready, you had bought everything for schlatt, all he had to do was put it on, and leave you alone to do your makeup
but omfg he would not.
you were sat on his bathroom counter, trying to recreate the starry night on your face, but this man would not stop talking and asking you questions
you looked over at him sat on the closed toilet, just yapping, he was wearing a dark blue button up, and nice fitting jeans, along with a white patch on his ear, with fake blood on it.
fuck he looked good, but you could contain yourself. schlatt on the other hand was basically foaming at the mouth
you were wearing a relatively short dress, that was low-cut and had puffy sleeves, your hair was down, and your face was painted like the starry night.
and he genuinly thought he was gonna splooge his pants.
you on the other hand were just trying to finish your makeup, and he needed to be in another room because he kept distracting you, so the only logical task you could give him was to go make you a drink, and he listened
you were done with you makeup and you went to go meet him in the kitchen, you stood at the doorway of his kitchen waiting for him to notice you were there
when he eventually turned around, you could see in his eyes the moment he realised you were there, his entire face softened and his eyes beamed at you. he walked closer to you inspecting the makeup on your face
he was very close, you could feel his breath on you, and you didnt mind, you even considered kissing him, but of course, as if fate was not on your side, the door bell rung
and you both began to laugh as he went to go welcome the guests, you on the other hand went and chugged the drink he made you, cause without it, you might not of been able to survive the night
-everyone started arriving, and it was the most fun youve had in a while, music blasting, drinks chugged, storys told, dancing and party games
-and schlatt could not keep his eyes off you
-you laughed, flirted and smiled the night away until everyone began leaving, but you offered to help him clean up, and of course he accepted
-he had changed the music from his party playlist, to his calm playlist and the first song that came on was "something stupid" by frank sinatra
"i love frank sinatra" you laughed as you wiped his counter down with a paper towel.
without missing a beat he began to sing along to the song "i know i stand in line, until you think you have the time, to spend an evening with me" in the most beautiful singing voice youve ever heard
naturally you sang along with him, and eventually you to ended up dancing together in his kitchen, to frank sinatra, dressed as a painter and his work of art
and somehow, after only having this man in your life for just over a month, you were never going to let him leave it.
you both finished cleaning, and it was time for you to head home, as he walked you to your car you felt an overwhelming feeling, something that you couldnt put your finger on, like your heart felt like it was going to explode
you placed your stuff in the passenger seat of your car, and you went around to find schlatt holding open your door for you
and thats what did it
you grabbed the collar of this shirt and pulled him down to your level and kissed him
for a split second you had thought you made a mistake, but that fear subsided when he kissed you back and aggressively wrapped his arms around your waist
he pushed your back against your car with his body and continued kissing you as you threaded your fingers through his hair
you pulled away to breathe and he stared at you with a dopey grin on his face
"see you monday?" you asked with a love sick smile
he pecked both of your cheeks, then both sides of your smile before planting a kiss on your lips, as you giggled. when he finally pulled away he kissed your forehead and said,
"see you monday." he kissed your hand one last time and began walking inside, once again leaving you with your thoughts
you silently got in your car, and you realised you could finally identify that feeling before
it was love.
