I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It

Chapter 166

Lila’s POV
“That’s your excuse? You can do better than that, Scott,” I said, shaking my head. “I already know that
Sarah is manipulative. You don’t have to—”
“So, you’re the only one who can have powers?”
His words halted me, and I looked at him.
“That’s not what I’m saying…”
“Then why is it so hard to believe that she could have powers too?” Scott asked. “I’m telling you, Lila.
She’s made me do some awful things that I didn’t want to do and it’s not because I love her. I don’t
even think I like her.”
He paused for a moment so he could gather his thoughts; he looked so serious, and I could see the
pure fear in his eyes.
He was telling me the truth.
But how was it possible for her to have these abilities without anybody noticing? Without me noticing?
“Lila…” Scott said, meeting my eyes. “It’s not just me. It’s her followers too. I heard them talking about it
a while ago. They don’t even know why they follow her like they do. They don’t even like her.”
“If what you are saying is true, then she really is dangerous. Why haven’t you told anyone else this?
“I did,” he said, sitting back down on his cot. “She just convinces them it’s not true. She makes them
think I’m the crazy one. I would be committed but she convinced them not to. Eventually, I just gave up
and accepted my fate. I didn’t even think about the possibility of her having actual abilities until I hadn’t
seen her in weeks. I’ve gained a lot of clarity while I’ve been here.”
“I’m not going to let her get away with this,” I said, pressing my lips firmly together.
Sarah has had the upper hand for way too long; she’s been playing me and everyone around her like a
fiddle and I wasn’t going to stand for that anymore.

Scott didn’t look so convinced; in fact, he looked worried, and I had never seen him like that before.
I turned away from him and firmly knocked on the cell, waiting for the officer to return.
“Lila…” Scott said from behind me. “Be careful.”

I nodded my head once and turned away from him just as the officer opened the door.
I left without another word.
…
Students were meeting in the student lounge to get their assigned rooms and their schedules for this
year. I grabbed my bags out of my car and went to meet up with Becca who waited for me by the
entrance.
“Have you heard from Rachel yet?” She asked, a worried look in her eyes.
“Nope,” I said, shaking my head. “Hopefully she will be here soon.”
“If she doesn’t show up, they will probably reassign us to a smaller room.”
“Or find us a third roommate,” I added.
She looked even more worried after I said that.
We went into the crowded student lounge.
Students were already lining up at the table to receive their back-to-school packets, which included the
keys to their dorms and their schedules.
“Welcome back to the Academy for Shifters. I am so excited to start this year as the new Headmaster of
this academy. I am Mrs. Tiffany Prescott. I am also in charge of the board this year as well. Please, line
up to receive your packets from Miss Elena.”
I recognized Miss Elena as one of the witchcraft teachers for the sorcerers of the school.
Behind her stood someone I didn’t recognize. He was a tall gentleman with large shoulders that looked
fit for any contact sport. He wasn’t giving me Alpha energy but the look in his eyes was incredibly
intimidating. He looked to be in his mid-thirties with an incredibly strong exterior and a body suit of
armor.
He also had a scar going across the left side of his face.
“Is he some kind of gamma?” Becca asked, noticing him as well.
“He definitely looks like one,” I agreed.
As if he heard us talking about him, his eyes traveled down the line and landed on me, holding them for
what felt like an eternity. Meeting his eyes left a chill down my spine and suddenly I couldn’t breathe.
I was getting a bad feeling about this guy, and I didn’t want to go anywhere near him.
“Oh, hello, Lila,” Sarah said, stepping beside me in the line.
Remembering the conversation I had with Scott earlier, I knew to be careful around Sarah and I wanted
Becca to be careful as well. I didn’t trust her.
“Heard your teacher-boyfriend quit. How sad for you,” Sarah said with a fake pout.
“And I heard your boyfriend is in jail. How sad for you,” I said in return; Becca chuckled from behind me
as Sarah pressed her lips together.
“Scott and I broke up,” Sarah said, rolling her eyes. “He’s not worth my time or energy. Plus, I have
bigger things to focus on. Like winning the election for president of the student committee.”
Mrs. Prescott stopped beside us and gave us each a kind smile. I knew her from when she was just a
member of the board; it was nice to see that she’s stepping up since the old headmaster retired at the
end of last year.
I was sad when I saw her goodbye email but pleased when I saw Mrs. Prescott taking over.
“Hello, girls. I wanted to touch base with you about the student committee. I made some changes to
the role of the committee. It isn’t just about planning events anymore, although that will be one of the
responsibilities as well. But as a board, we thought it would be good to give the students a real voice.
Have those in charge who know firsthand what the students need. To help find weaknesses and
strengths. Maybe even an extra layer of protection. Whoever wins this election to become the president
of the committee will be working closely with the board to make sure the school is running smoothly. If
you are both still interested, we will hold the election in a couple of weeks.”
‘I’m still very interested,” I said in response.
