Chapter 3: Kissed

The week passed by quickly and through it all, Baldi didn't get to see the principal much. They were both either too busy, or unable to find each other at all.


Even more so, it felt awkward. After the two found out they liked each other, it was hard to look at one another the same. That was, until Friday hit.


As one of the fundraisers, the principal had decided it would be a good idea to set up a fair. This would let kids and teens alike enjoy and celebrate the first few days of school while faculty collected the necessary money.


Of course, Baldi was nervous. He'd never went to the events the school held because of work. But knowing that he could find the principal there and try to talk with him made it worth the trip.


Baldi changed into a blue sweater, some loose black jeans, and a beanie, which made him feel a little more comfortable. He then walked out  into his small abode; an apartment complex with a kitchen, sitting area, bathroom, and a balcony—besides the bedroom he just came out of. ((It should have been the closet -_-))


The bald teacher slipped on his shoes, grabbed his car keys and bag, and left his apartment; locking the door behind him.


On the drive there, he felt sweaty. Although it could have just been the sweater he wore, it felt more like a nervous sweat. This could all go to hell if I screw this up. Baldi thought.


<--------->


The principal fiddled with his hands nervously between each and every time he greeted another student to the fair. He stood at the entrance like he had always done, but this time felt different.


He hadn't seen Baldi all week and this separation made him want to see the bald man at the fair. But he knew he shouldn't expect it. He hadn't before, so why would he now? The principal felt someone tug at his sleeve.


"Hey dad?" It was playtime.


"Yes what is it, sweetie?" He knelt down, making eye contact with her despite the fact that hers were unfocused.


"My friends and I wanted to eat something at the snack bar but we don't have enough money." She said, pointing in the general direction of the snack bar. "I was wondering if..." Playtime then shyly pointed to him. The principal smiled and pulled out his wallet.


"Of course. Anything for you." He pulled out a five dollar bill and two ones. That should have been more than enough. Her expression lightened and she grabbed the bills in utter joy. "Now go have fun. Don't get into trouble." He ruffled the girl's hair and watched her clumsily run off to her friends.


"She's so adorable. You picked the right kid Kennith." The principal turned around to be met with Baldi.


"Oh my god! Y-you came!" Kennith exclaimed, and then hugged the math teacher. Baldi hugged him back, taking in his scent. He really was a nice guy. Smell and all.


"I couldn't miss a chance like this." Baldi said, letting go of the principal. "Do you wanna..." He pointed his finger towards the crowds in the fair.


"Absolutely." The principal replied at which they began to walk into the crowds of people.


They talked for the most part. It was mostly about students, tests, lessons, rules; ordinary things school staff would talk about. Every once and a while they'd try one of the games and maybe even win some small prizes. Kids would also say hi to the two, excited to see them. Little did the teacher and principal realize that the were holding hands most of the time.


They made their way to a small sitting area where a few adults and kids sat, chatting away and not noticing the couple sit down.


"I have to admit, the fair was super fun. I kind of wish I had gone the last times too." Baldi said, adjusting himself in his seat a little to face the principal.


"It wouldn't have been as fun without you Baldimore. I'm so happy you came." The principal warmly smiled at the teacher. He looked into the bald man's eyes, starting intently. Baldi was doing the same, and they both just stared. Without thinking, the principal leaned in and kissed him.


Baldi sat wide eyed, feeling the press of the principal's lips against his. But he quickly fell into the kiss, embracing every moment. The principal leaned in closer, deepening the kiss. As quickly as it happened, they pulled apart.


"I..." The principal looked around nervously. Somehow, no one saw them kissing. He was turning as red as a cherry.


"Does this m-mean we're a thing?" Baldi asked, cutting him off in his embarrassed moment. The principal shook out of his daze and looked to the math teacher once again.


"Well...I want it to be...but if you don't want it to be..." He said, feeling his face heat up from the fact that this was happening. Baldi smiled nervously and nodded his head, yes.


"Yes. I want to be with you Kennith. Because....I-I love you." This reply only made the principal's face become more red, but he didn't care.


"I love you too Baldimore." At this, he hugged the bald teacher. But Baldi pulled away.


Baldi cold hear people muttering under their breath and he hated it. "Did they just hug?" "That's gross, guys don't hug like that!" "If they're together, I'm taking my kid out of that school." "Is it that the math teacher and the principal?"


The principal could see Baldi's disappointed look. He knew about the teacher's hearing ability and how well he could hear another conversation from a long distance away. "Hey, don't listen to those people. They don't know what they're saying. Just calm down."


"I know. I know." At least they hadn't somehow seen then kiss.


"...Do you think you'd like to go on a date sometime?" The principal asked, trying to get the math teacher's attention away from the others. Baldi smiled almost sadly.


"That'd be nice." He said.


"Hi Dad! Hi Mr. Baldi!" Both turned to face playtime and her friends: arts and crafters and first prize. "What are you doing?" Baldi's face turned a light pink.


"We were just talking." The principal replied. "Are you ready to go?"


"Oh yeah. That's why I came over. Arts and first prize need to be driven to their houses." Playtime said. Baldi looked to Kennith and then to Playtime.


"I should probably get going as well." He said. "I'll see you next week?"


"Ok. S-See you later." The principal smiled, waving at Baldi as the math teacher stood up.


Baldi made his way to his car at the front of school. He noticed someone standing next to his car. It was that new science teacher.


"Excuse me. It's Mr. Wtf right?" Baldi said, approaching the man. He seemed startled by the bald man's presence.


"Oh. Y-yes that's m-my -()(/( name." He said. Why did his voice cut off like that?


"Are you okay? Your voice sounded a little..." Baldi stepped closer to the man, at which he backed up toward Baldi's car.


"It's -))()/nothing." The science teacher said. Before Baldi could speak again, Mr. Wtf made a glitchy noise. "Tell me. You know K-(/((:):Kennith Prince. Don't you?" Baldi felt uneasy. Why would this man be asking about the principal?


"Well, he's the principal. But that's about it I guess." Baldi said, making sure he didn't mention their relationship.


But this man seemed to have read his mind. "I mean your...relationship with him." The way he said it was sketchy.


"R-relationship? He's my boss and I-I'm just an employee. Th-that's all." Baldi said. He began to get nervous. What was this person getting at? The science teacher smirked, even though Baldi couldn't see his face through his hair.


"You're a terrible liar ():)((} Baldimore. I'd try not to do that in the future." Suddenly, the bald teacher's vision went white, blinding him temporarily. When it cleared, the science teacher was gone.


"What the hell..." He needed to tell the principal. He turned to go, but realized something. He was sitting in his car and in the parking lot near his apartment.


"How...?"













Hello again! Author here.
Wow that chapter took some pretty interesting turns at the end. Ok so I named the principal Kennith Prince and honestly I have no idea where it came from. (Anyone care to give an explanation???)
